Gelatinous

Students pay to write essays on topics for which they have to derive knowledge from a library as a self-enhancement exercise; a professional who is compensated to write and is taken seriously by others should use a more potent filter. Only distilled ideas, ones that sit in us for a long time, are acceptable—and those that come from reality.

"And in that strange profession of people who work with volatility, there were two types. First category, academics, report-writers, and commentators who study future events and write books and papers; and, second category, practitioners who, instead of studying future events, try to understand how things react to volatility (but practitioners are usually too busy practitioning to write books, articles, papers, speeches, equations, theories and get honored by Highly Constipated and Honorable Members of Academies). "

Je relis Derrida, je lirai Artaud, Michaux, Sontag, Virginia Woolf, Fitzgerald, Flannery O'Connor. Je lis ceux qui vivent la maladie et ne se contentent pas de l'observer. Ceux qui en suivent les méandres, en décrivent la violence, l'arbitraire avec ironie ou résignation. Je vois la tentative de Derrida de transformer la maladie en concept, de se servir de l'auto-immunité comme principe de lecture des destructions de la société. J'épouse sa tentative. J'abandonnerai. Le concept est trop lisse.

"This begs questions of how we are to conceptualize of AI as a ‘thinking thing’. The first ambiguity we should draw attention to however is the fact that psychoanalysis strictly speaking only ever happens as the result of a demand , a subjective and singular demand on the part of the analysand. And this demand is met with the desire of the analyst, for whom the demand of the analysand, is an object a . Both these essential elements give rise to a transference relation resulting in what could be characterized as psychoanalysis proper."

"It is, if you will, the marvelous event of every romantic encounter: being able to be a book for someone, to be read and reread, to become the surface to which the gaze of the Other is attracted, to transform the body of the beloved into a book. To be, at once, the reader of the book and the book read."

" –, when instead a book becomes an encounter, it is the book that reads me – it is the painting that look , it's the music that makes me Listen . This is a decisive inversion that allows us to redefine the very movement of reading: not the reader who absorbs the book, but the book that absorbs the reader; not the book read by the reader, but the book that reads the reader."

The book is the enemy of hatred unless it itself becomes a wall.

"Before being readers, we are, in fact, all books printed by the Other, we are books written with the words of the Other."

"Thus, to truly read, the perceived competence of our mind is never sufficient; what is necessary first and foremost is the presence of the heart. There is no reading of a book elevated to the dignity of an erotic body if there is no heart in the reader, if the reader reads without heart. For Jesus, this is what can kill the book: if the truth of the book is not experienced by the heart , there is no way to apprehend it. The letter separated from the heart makes the letter of the book a dead letter. The absence of heart in the reader robs the book of its body. The book is a body and not a sterile "herbarium" in which to abstractly catalogue the events of the world."

"4. De cet oubli, très vite, je me réveille. Hâtivement, je mets en place une mémoire, un désarroi. Un mot (classique) vient du corps, qui dit l’émotion d’absence : soupirer : « soupirer après la présence corporelle » :

Il s’ensuit que dans tout homme qui parle l’absence de l’autre,

Love is two half-sayings that do not intersect [or: overlap].
