that's it my guy. the heraclitean Logos is high holy torture. if you are looking for consonance, harmony, and coherence among the dissonance
>and *especially* if you suck at math and try to sort it all out v/the unconscious

but maybe there is no other way. see deleuze on leibniz:

>the resolution of dissonance is tantamount to displacing pain, to searching for the major accord with which it is consonant. Just as the martyr knows how to do it at the highest point and, in that way, not suppress pain itself, but suppress resonance or resentment, by avoiding passivity, by pursuing the effort to suppress causes, even if the martyr's force of opposition is not attained. All of Leibniz's theory of evil is a method to prepare for and to resolve dissonances in a "universal harmony.” A counterexample would be furnished by the damned. whose souls produce a dissonance on a unique note, a breath of vengeance or resentment, a hate of God that goes to infinity; but it is still a form of music, a chord - though diabolical- since the damned draw pleasure from their very pain. and especially make possible the infinite progression of perfect accords in the other souls.

>such is the first aspect of harmony, which Leibniz calls spontaneity. The monad produces accords that are made and are undone, and yet that have neither beginning nor end, that are transformed each into the other or into themselves, and that tend toward a resolution or a modulation. For Leibniz even the diabolical accord can be transformed. It is because the monad is expression; it expresses the world from its own point of view (and musicians such as Rameau forever underscore the expressive character of the chord). point of view signifies the selection that each monad exerts on the whole world that it is including, so as to extract accords from one part of the line of infinite inflection that makes up the world.

it's not really a good idea to hate on the One too much, in other words. especially if you plan on seeking It out later on. hatred of the divine: so sexy at first. later: less so.

kojima has a nice line: To Let The World Be. pic rel is good too. or zizek: that the gods are not too far away, but much too close.

so yeah. i fucked up. by believing in the wrong things. by *still* believing that i can get away with believing in the wrong things. some people are so gobsmackingly selfish & stupid & arrogant that things have to really, really sting before they can get the message. i am one of those.

>Get on disability.
weakness. would rather work. i mean being on the DL would probably give me more time to write but it's unbecoming. would rather flip burgers & sulk.

>You're pretty spectral.
thx. i also do birthday parties

>Or is that a spook?
i read Ego & Its Own and it was probably the only work of philosophy that i really *didn't* enjoy. wanted to fling it across the room. i just don't get the hype for stirner. just not built that way.
