Exactly! And this feeling about fart jokes is interesting.

Indeed. I don't know what I think about Freud as a scientist. But it's interesting to me that shit and incest are a big part of bad language. Farts ar...

Then farts are Marxists, since they turn Hegel right-side-up. (Actually I think farts are kinda-sorta Marxists.)

I feel you. I associate an upward movement toward a fixed goal with Hegel. Nietzsche is all over the place. I love and fart on them both. I like the i...

That's a great question. You prob. know that Nietzsche compared maturity to the seriousness of a child at play. And a certain rock star had this to sa...

Yes. But it's funny! And now we are getting deep. I think we are mischievous 'chimps.' We like a little cruelty at our festivals. What we can maybe do...

Ah yes, the 'divine malice' emerges from his brown cloud. ( Divine malice is a dude. )

Now I'm reminded of being an adolescent. I once created a masterpiece that literally brought tears to one's eyes --and proceeded to flee the small roo...

Interesting. I find that the orgasms in a smoothly functioning monogamy are pretty reliably great. On the other hand, the anticipation and pre-orgasm ...

There is also the classic fart at the funeral. This one should be slow and quiet unless it helps everyone laugh at death.

Yes, there is some difference in our positions. I can't speak for everyone, but I think idealizations during the sex act sometimes help prop up monoga...

It's a happy fart. It's one of those loud farts in bed when nobody else is home, with the authenticity of a horse scratching its ass on a tree.

Indeed. The act of seduction and its anticipations is so stimulating that some, I believe, sabotage every stable situation resulting from successful s...

I just saw this for the first time and felt compelled to share a dark & sexy piece of art: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFRiCwWR60k It is more or l...

I very much relate to this. For me intellectual heroes often have an 'amoral' edge. They are willing to think beyond the morality of their community (...

I suggest shifting from politics (what America should do) to what you personally can do. In my view, the millions and millions of other Americans are ...

I bet he glowered, but I also bet he was happy in there.

The way I tend to understand this is that language itself is another 'bike' most of the time. It is 'transparent' while we use it. When we double back...

What comes to my mind is how accuracy is entangled with beliefs that make us better and more functional. Why do we care about accuracy in the first pl...
May 02, 2018 at 09:30
This is a great theme too. I think of the 'I' emerging from the 'We' both ecstatically and anxiously (like a little boy wandering away from his mother...

Hi. Great examples. The following may not at all be new to you, but in that case we can at least enjoy sharing awareness/agreement. What do we know wh...
