bctzoiwp: the accuracy of irrelevancies
http://bctzoiwp.blogspot.com/2008/06/blog-post.html
The accuracy of irrelevancies. 1966), Adorno writes:. The stubborn urge to check the accuracy of irrelevancies rather than to reflect on relevancy at the risk of error is one of the most widespread symptoms of a regressive consciousness. For Adorno, what we need is to "reflect on relevancy" itself. In other words: to think about why we're thinking in the first place. This is a simple-sounding thought, to be sure. One that is easily passed over. But let's not be so hasty, shall we? Tuesday, June 10, 2008.

Several months ago I had occasion to watch a film in German with no subtitles. Despite having only an average proficiency in that language, I was able to follow the plot and most of the dialogue. I wasn't bored, nor was I fatigued from having to translate. However, I didn't much enjoy the film. I thought the performances superficial and the whole look of the film bland and uninteresting.

Who was apparently himself somewhat inspired by me. I'm shutting down this admittedly derelict warehouse of ideas and moving to tumblr. My new blog will be devoted to one thing and one thing only: bringing an end to that insidious form of lightheartedness so prevalent today (especially among bloggers and twitterererers) which is really a mask for fear, a manifestation of panicky self-preservation.

bctzoiwp: on never having been
http://bctzoiwp.blogspot.com/2009/05/on-never-having-been.html
On never having been. In an article in the New York Times on genius, David Brooks writes:. T]he latest research suggests a more prosaic, democratic, even puritanical view of the world. The key factor separating geniuses from the merely accomplished is not a divine spark. It’s not I.Q., a generally bad predictor of success, even in realms like chess. Instead, it’s deliberate practice. They never have been. Friday, May 01, 2009. On never having been. Sit down man, you're a bloody tragedy.

It is a rude practice to rip a dialectician's work out of context, but nevertheless:. In the face of nature at rest, a nature from which all traces of anything resembling the human have been eradicated, the subject becomes aware of its own insignificance.
