it usually happens to you, when you're solving a sūdo(h)kú...
getting all *spastic-fantastic while solving a puzzle,
my eyes darting-autisitc...
i had a thought... in an algebra form, associated with
the letter x... or χ (chi),
relating to, probably the two most famous "quotes",
i.e. clichés (clish... says) -
what where they? cogito ergo sum... and carpe diem...
so i made a little diagram:
cogito diem
χ
sum carpe...
in the cartesian example? you're not prompted to do anything.
oddly enough...
where did the ergo go?
well, it became lodged in the χ (chi) for one...
for seconds? article scissors... or the basis for atheism...
what, exactly, is, the day?
your birthday? d-day landing in normandy?
the 8th of march 1917?
funny, eh? i think, i seize...
and then the sigma of: a day, the day, or being in general,
the summation of something.
how about: seize yourself? sorta like... carpe sum?
and the infamous: think of today: i.e. cogito diem?
the χ (chi) is based on the principle of expressing ergo...
the cascade...
the waterfall...
in cogitans no- veritas (there is no truth in thinking) -
so much so that: qua res cogitans... no- omni vera -
as being, a thinking thing... there are no all-encompassing truths.
what's the 20th century conceptualisation of
the ancient latin carpe diem? heidegger's dasein...
heidegger's dasein is, literally, carpe diem...
a day... and seizing it...
well... the germans just call it: tag, for what's diem,
and seize... ergreifen, which is consecrated on the latin
altar of the word carpe...
if a roman were to say carpe diem, a germanic "barbarian" would
reply ergreifentag... or in modern spreschen, dasein...
as in: being "there", there, also denoting the temporal realm,
that in unit, requested encompassing the universe, isn't a minute,
or a second... but, a, day: the day is da, i.e. where...
which is why carpe diem compliments the dasein
conceptualißation, so wonderfully;
it's also a necessity, to call forth history, as the happening,
or in dasein terms: being...
as necessary, on a particular day,
in the realm of universal / uniform experience,
of ranging possibility, either fulfilled, or abandoned.
