i can't even digest this "abstract" point of a definition of consciousness, or relate it to a subjectivity / objectivity, or whatever affix you wish to ascribe the ponce of a man his due when you see what see:
cogito ergo sum is not even a debate, even though it's as orthodox as a religion with its: mantras and credos...
the whole expression is no inert, so bogus and so: failing what i wish to be transcendent...
it only takes one snippet of the world in which there is an other that it blunts the mind that's only useful for spreading butter on a warm toast that: perhaps my honesty is worth more than what i could have done:
because this observation is heavily reliant on *what i could have rather than on what i ought to have done... the proposition which is dead lost to making it a rigid maxim is best observed as a delay mechanism... because it has become just that to me as of today... since it does not entertain a reflex that's always there in high-stress situations... cogito ergo sum has a purely reflective dimension... equivalent of saying: Adam was born ****-naked and died, ****-naked... but we "know" the latter to be hardly true: as much as we know saints die with halos and caesars are born with laurels on their heads... as much as we known that kings are decapitated by the weight of their crowns...
i abhor the cartesian thought on the simply example i experienced today...
so i walk into a supermarket minding my own business by thinking about how my shoes are comfortable...
and i pass this strange creature in the fridge department: staring into a single fridge... i boot up with my usual crap of ***** beer and ms. fizzy-candy... but i'm curious and walk past her again...
she has a ring on her finger: but it's not an everlasting ring of pure mental without ornament... it has a stud of a rock attached to it: engagement... she's still staring into the fridge wondering about fish fingers as i eye her eye contact... she has a buggy next to her and a filled basket... the buggy has a child in it: i presume... but the apparent child in it is silent... i can't see it: too many blankets: which seems just right that: there's something living and human cushioned in it...
the delay mechanism of this schematic is that: hours later have the sudden impulse to recount the encounter of a single mother and having the capacity to approach her and ask her: do you want me to buy this for you?
would that have escalated into me fancying a relationship? do i look like a ******* loser? i might drink and i might do damage unto myself: but at least i know that i'm doing it, and not someone else: just a mere gesture of: you can stop staring at that packet of fish fingers for a while...
because what sort of woman brings a baby in a buggy to a supermarket nearing 10pm? a witch, a harlot, or just bad luck? i would certainly sleep sounder had i discovered a way to bypass the delay mechanism of: looking up my own ***...
the problem is: the thought never occurred: but did - only a few hours later: circa 4 hours to be exact...
i don't like this delay mechanism, but i then don't like whether there's a more important social conventions "question" when having a "moral" answer impregnates the mind hours after the initial curiosity of the sorry sight...
this whole: minding my own business is sickly sweet and probably oozing with a scentless ***** perfume... but that still doesn't justify to me that: i am both intuitively crafted, but also intuitively dulled by a question of a morality...
would i have given her money to buy those fingers? i've been saving money by not drinking on some days, so i could squeeze in a random expense... it just bothers me that i didn't actually have access to this thought when it was most certainly worth having...
which is why i read philosophy: i hate it. at what point was there a staged connectivity of dot dot dot? i was in there stashing up and thinking up about seeing the qualification of ski jumping in Pyeongchang! perhaps if i left my in situ with this single mother who just so happened to be in the supermarket at the same time i was there: i would have actually thought about buying the food she wanted to feed her baby...
a random act of kindness would then haunt me: because why did i give her a fish and not given her the skills to go fishing, right? well, it wouldn't exactly be a charity project run by Oxfam is one person did that to another on a random occassion of: it just so happened: that a pink elephant walked into the room.
there have to be four martix-like ante-chambers to the human experiences - working from the x-ray of god...
Y (convergence (λ - divergence) W (synchronism (M - dissoance) H / H (either / or)
ask the twins why we need λ & M...
yet the thought occurred only after i had to take a second look out of curiosity rather than any intuitive precedence over the matter needing to be resolved... a ****** curiosity like some sort of "freak" show...
maybe it's worthwhile having a drinking habit after all: to feel this un-inhibition and spot such aspects of life, akin to a single mother being abandoned by a future spouse for whatever reason that was: clinging to an engagement ring, nearing 10pm in a supermarket with her baby, staring into a fridge wondering whether a baby can eat fish fingers: or could choke on them: because then the practice of abortion is really worth debating...
give a man a freedom and then watch man abuse it: by not executing the established norm of consensus... or later watch the vicar come in and argue: but what of a future mozart that could have been? yeah, i ask myself that same question whispering into a tissue and then trying to hear a reply of the sea in a sea-shell as i flush the ******* down the toilet... have ******* whale sonar on that answer... i won't replicate it, merely concise it to: it's an onomatopoeia.
thankfuly i have a personal account to match... but she did pick the engagement ring herself, and she did fling it back at me... and she lied about taking the pill... when i was like: a ****** is but the nadir of my latex fantasy... so: guru who guru what?
i have my observation: shame this thought was somehow obstructed from me having inacted it when i could have shown the least amount of decency to a sorry state of womanhood, on a whim: and not for any moral well-being gratified by faking an authority for some godsend suggestion to further it by setting up an orphanage... a whim: not a moral obligation... a fancy... a random twist of a plot...
it's still going to be a delay mechanism for me: this "observed" cogito ergo sum... i've seen Kant mutilated on this ******* wankery long enough to know that Kołakowski didn't leave it much smarter.
