The Chaos of Counsciousness

"Ich wohne in meinem eigenen Haus,
Hab Niemandem nie nichts nachgemacht
Und — lachte noch jeden Meister aus,
Der nicht sich selber ausgelacht."

Very interesting. I can see how this is relevant to metaphysics.

“On the other hand, NCCs might build up over a longer time until they intrude into our awareness and may then only slowly fade until they are so slight that we can no longer perceive them.”
The article is a striking as it is, but all the more so if read alongside “Freud and the scene of writing” found in “Writing and Difference” when considering the latter was written 30-something years before the above article.
Enjolras.
"Some lama sabachtani always ends history, and cries out our inability to keep still: I must give a meaning to that which does not have one. In the end, being is given to us as impossible".
