[Editor: This is shit] In our burrow, recipes are passed down from great Aunt to nieces[1]. The rules are simple and powerful, meaning that the wedding presently underway was not merely a solemn vow of love and faithfulness, but also a merger such as had never been seen since the Deepfriers and Brunches fusioned through marriage six generations past. The transport, transcription, and devolution...
I was thinking of the title An Epistemology for Madness, because a radical, critical sophism was advised as the de facto horizon once a phenomenology presumed the synthetic apriori premise, “This mind does not distinguish between the intersubjective and not-intersubjective in appearance”. That premise advises learning to recognize the variety[1] of experiential frames which can… bla, bla. Drugs...
{Part 1 – 26/10/2016} There are 22 Hebrew letters, plus 5 final variants. They are given numerical values. I don’t know if this is commonly thought by those who are better studied. This isn’t a proof, it’s a thought trail, followed by some demonstrations. Why are there only 4 letters in the 100’s order? There are 10 sefirot, but how would they fit? First thought: The...
{Part 1 – 22/10/2016} Escape would require some flexibility of intuition and concept (nb. pedigree of terms is arbitrary). I would imagine strengthening a substrate of awareness that acknowledges its own ignorance. I would call this substance metaphorical, and the premises of its construction metaphorical idealism (replacing “conditions of experiencing that define experience” with “defining...
{24/10/2016} Even approaching the approaching of this thing requires consideration. {24/10/2016} The goal is a proper study. The means is to know how to study. The precursor is to wonder how to know how to study. More premises: The subject of the goal is an Aleph. (#Borges) A premise of the means is that the value of a study can vary. A fundamental question within wondering is, how is a personal...
{04/11/2016} This is my own path. I’m writing this for no one except myself. If anyone should read this, be warned: You can not judge, you can not comprehend, you can not apply. Here are the wonders of my life. Who can claim them for their own? 10* for 8** for 9** of 2**/****. And at such a young age and such through such mundane experiences! Errors such as a faux-10 directing 3** receiving...
Mimatai korim shema b’arvit…[I] Sof ma’ase[1]… The Mishnah was packaged to ensure the survival of key structures within the oral tradition, which although requiring great losses of wisdom, was deemed necessary for the great journey ahead. The terrible voyage had not yet hinted the breadth of its passages, nor depths, nor sense of lost horizons. The Mishnah begins with a question, but the purpose...
Editorial notes: This essay appears in two versions, the first documented as a draft in Shai’s A BASHFUL HOPE blog (see For the Complexed (v1)) and another version found as a Google Document. The two versions have a similar structure but somewhat different content and the version showing here has been adapted to merge the two versions to form a more complete version of this document. It...
My motivation to express and communicate my thoughts on these things is curtailed on one side by an awareness of the immensity of my ignorance, and on the other side by my fear that I have no right to promote such substantial claims given my absent credentials. What follows is successful if it convinces the following: I have a unique perspective, which forms an expertise on the basis of its...
A few thoughts on Holocaust Remembrance Day. Every culture has its ancestral story. This is one of mine. This is a story of survival. The Holocaust happened The Holocaust happened because of a world embedded deeply in antisemitism. It was embedded deeply with antisemitism because every country in Christendom had subjected Jews to second-class citizenship, to be denied, ransomed, evicted and...
