even i didn't expect Heidegger's VII - XI
to be so centrist on account
of pedagogy...
a reading tedium... sure...
i wasn't expecting so much concern for
pedagogy in the 20th century,
but i guess a concern
for pedagogy stems from
the 20th century,
and the 21st century is rife
with pedagogy posits of
notable interest...
no...
it's not easy...
it takes weeks,
months,
perhaps even a year or two..
to finish reading
a book of said genre...
unless it's Kierkegaard...
then it's butter to
a warm toast...
Kierkegaard is perhaps
the most readable philosopher
to date...
the rest are a tedium,
because they have to encompass
the replica of the tedium of existence...
per se...
akin to:
you never listen to Wagner...
you listen to Wagner,
in the sense...
there's only Wagner...
and no other music exists
outside of, Wagner...
i guess that's how
solipsism implodes and is
made rational...
i guess inverted solipsism
works akin to:
Wagner...
it's not that "you" believe
that only "you" exist...
that's what a child might expect
to experience...
no... when appreciating
someone's work...
a text, a painting...
a piece of music...
what doesn't actually exist
is a "self"...
but what does: are two individuals...
a twinning of the selves
that nullifies both within
the conceptualization
of both individualistic concerns,
for, a, "self"...
i listen to Wagner
minus the orchestra...
and i have no nationalistic
allegiance to Chopin...
there is none...
**** me...
i'd forsake my bias for Händel...
akin to that time i missed
Messiah as the Royal Albert Hall...
where i went to the brothel instead,
and kept hearing the opera
in my head while i ****** her soulful
yet silly embrace...
i'd forsake my bias for
Händel:
if it only be:
Wagner, minus the orchestra!
the bare minimalism of
a once encountered doubling
of effort!
and always, always,
said minimalism,
exposed on, a piano...
no violin...
the foundation is different...
Wagner works pristine
assumptions within a piano confines...
Strauss i'm sure will doll dance
the Vienna waltz on merely a violin...
but there will always be something
haunting about exposing Wagner
to nothing more, than a piano...
an unsettling: stillness...
a harmonious marriage toward
existence, and post-existence -
minding the artifact that is death...
i can't look elsewhere for culture than
in the pseudo-genesis story
incubating the Germans as
source material...
dritte reisch or not...
even the Yids bemoan a sour taste
for Schubert...
given the historical artifacts...
after all...
the Hebrews invested the most in
assimilating into the German language...
for ****'s sake!
terrible Polish accents...
but spoke northern Hebrew:
a mongrel of Hebrew and German...
Yiddish!
such is the graveness
of the lament...
a mere killing is what it is...
but undermining creating a new mongrel
language?
devouring...
even with 10 million dead...
a quasi-language,
a marriage of German and Hebrew...
****! gone? within a span of 6 years
if not longer?
i know how i feel about language...
sorry, i'm not french,
i don't push it outside the realm of
reasonable logic, so i refuse to "i" my way
out some sort responsibility...
perhaps that's why i'm not fond
of either French philosophy schooling:
too impracticable...
or the English philosophy schooling:
too practicable (pragmatic etc.) -
assured, as i am:
there were only two "schools" of thought:
Greek... or German...
and i can't be dealing with
outdated cliches concerning
the Greeks, in order to get laid...
yes yes, the live not investigated:
Socrates...
yes yes, the theory that only your self exists:
solipsism...
******* yawn...
but i'm not ashamed to have
to read a philosophy book unlike a novella...
technically you're not
supposed to...
if you do: you really haven't read it...
where's the interlude of thinking?
the footnote non-existent in
the book, but much existent
in your head?
frankly...
i'm disappointed at Heidegger's
ponderings VII - XI...
i never anticipated so much
pedagogical stipulation...
but then again...
the most daft, sour, most dry writing
by a German in this genre...
out-competes this sickening
English mockery of realism -
this... pragmatism...
this... over-insured posit from
the focus of biology...
it's like i want to
spew my intestines out,
and then ingest them in sushi
bite-sized mini-horrors...
i can't read an English
philosophy book, nor
the French...
i tried...
i really tried...
vague success with the French
ascribing philosophy to fiction...
but the English?
they're ******* islanders!
what is a philosophy of islanders
other than the two tenets:
isolationism and eccentricity?!
not much...
i'll die sooner than find myself:
soon... reading a book by Locke...
can't stomach that ****...
great poets! Milton over Dante:
any day...
pretty ****** thinkers, though;
and don't get me started
on the "supposed" genius of
Elgar...
******* wombat...
an elephant stepped
on one of his ears, in which he related,
constantly hearing a jazz
trumpet which he could never pen
down...
different story with
ralph vaughan williams...
*******...
EVERY, SINGLE, TIME...
i cry like a baby with the right spike
of bourbon when i play
thomas talis...
but philosophy?
the English don't know philosophy...
never have, never will...
unless you impose
something relating to monetary exchanges...
hell... they assure other
Germanic uncles and aunts...
that they're not inclined to
the stereotypical *** mentality;
which of course... they are...
and yet... of lately...
very ****** when it comes
to managing money.
