Beth

I used to love Bethany
but now we've fallen out
over a looong email exchange
that never happened

process

many writers think "..if I go to this and that college, if I attend this seminar (MFA)..."
as a young writer in your 20's of course you want to get rich and famous

you should also know this:

"there is no process or no process
if you got it that's it
the rest is for selling copies"

meaning

we invent labels to hide meaning
the labels wither get dry ("go out of fashion")
the meaning is still there always fresh

capitalism means money
money is resource
resource is trees and leaves
and tree branches

e

eat whatever
the bite size pieces
that others  offoryou

poetry on the edge of a cliff
i'm sure someone has done it before
and soooooo??????????????

Harman

I think the point Harman misses (or  taciternly accepts) is that all great things, all true things have an endless age (or don't have age to be metaphysical)


why do we still talk of Aristotle 2000 years ago?
why do we still talk of Beethoven after 500 600 or so many years ago?
why do we still talk of Darwin 200 years ago?

true, essence cannot be known (or as Godel said is unprovable within the realm of the universe, unless we go outside the universe)
but that doesn't prevent us from thinking/talking about it
I thinks that's what Heidegger was upset about

there is a nothing around the something
science says we are not to talk about the nothing since it's not measurable, let's cut the rest of it
so then science leads to nothing in a systematic way while in the meantime never addressing it

(it's true I'm almost regretting my involvement in this OOO but nothing else to do - like what the linguists did with philosophy)

WOP

A  decade ago I proposed Women-Oriented Programming (or WOP) in contrast to Object Oriented  programming which is based on hierarchies and is most favored by the male essense

since women are said to not like hierarchies
although in female groupings there is usually a "big mama" and all the other workresses running around
so there is at least a 2-level structure
