.like i insinuated prior, the English are a people not competent in philosophy, they're the antithesis of what a people, inclined to philosophy represent... schematic, rigidity, like the German... or the frequent cafe bullshitters of the French, the English can't consecrate themselves on the altar of Sophia, they just can't... they're a people that succumbed to too much practicality, egalitarianism... no one attempts to write in Utopia, while not seeking to find Atlantis.
so the whole Greece, Troy,
Rome shuffle is about over?
i'm feeling slightly peckish
and i don't have the time...
i'm about to light the house
up using... light-bulbs...
don't you think that a name
akin to: Paul, Digit,
sounds great?!
don't get me wrong,
the English are a people bound
to other, gifts...
they can sing,
although... Aud Lang Syne
is a Pict song...
and the river-dance is pure Ire...
great sophists,
but philosophers?
they're too practical,
i'm trying to read
Sartre's being & nothingness
in English...
i simply, can't...
it doesn't make sense...
if you gave me a copy
of the same book
in ******-speak...
i'd butcher it...
but in English?
metaphor moment:
like catching the testicles of
a mosquito, wearing boxing
gloves...
fiddly ******...
sure... each country has its
career ambition...
russian and the romanians
and the bulgarians have
their gymnastics...
the brazilians and the germans
have their footie...
the English have their singing
and their poetry...
but philosophy?
nope... not even close...
Oasis' wonderwall
will be remembered,
and even sang along to on
the continent...
but thomas more's
utopia,
or thomas hobbe's leviathan...
ever tried to read more than
twenty pages
of joseph conrad's
heart of darkness... ?
ever find eating porridge
equivalent to parachuting
in terms of the level of excitement?
chill... the English have their virtues...
but the English are also
prone to call philosophy
impractical, verbiage, word salad...
because philosophy already
is an impracticality,
an impasse...
it's supposed to be,
it's not exactly an Ikea schematic
reading to assemble a *******
table...
it's Picasso, cubism,
see if you can see a cube in
the mesh of contortions of other geometric
signatures...
the English do not do philosophy...
sorry... they don't...
whatever argument arises citing
the "need" for: "reason" and, "logic"
will not cut it for me...
reason? since God doesn't intervene...
well... the unfathomable depth of
human will... reason: the same freedom
as posited prior to: the unfathomable depth...
logic? 1 + 1 = 2...
a + n + d | s + o = and so...
the English are barons over other traditions
of expression...
music being 1, poetry being 2...
hey, Polacks are decent at volleyball...
i'm not complaining,
it's not exactly a popular sport...
but no... no chance in hell will i read
a philosophy book in this language...
i can't, the language is already too shrapnel
for me... i need to clarify a focus
on an idea...
language, the English language,
can't entertain the current "transcendental"
logistics of undermining the individual /
plural use of pronouns,
while also keeping a straight face
in other areas of thinking...
i could have conceded to the whole
globalist liberalism of ideas...
but... looking at the other flank?
attacking grammar... ****... sorry...
dogma?!
as if... i will bow down
to un-existing before my wedding with death.
that being said,
i think the English are in a dire need to relearn
their black sense of humor,
their islander sense of isolationist humor,
their: bizarre unpredictability...
since they lost it...
to a certain degree...
i'd say: relearn to laugh at what is,
otherwise unforgiven in other cultures...
more crass Americanism...
and... well...
can you ever learn to
cry when experiencing beauty?
musically, that is, esp. in the musical
dimension...
i always hated this:
"you're laughing, but actually crying...
you're crying, but actually laughing"
inversion...
i never came around to fathom this
"misnomer"...
straight down...
i'll laugh at a funeral...
teasing death...
but i'll cry over a decent piece of music, to boot.
