Establishing a philosophy on a universe of caused facts, or mind-isolated things, condemns the individual to alienation from the reality of that universe, that which is ‘beyond’ the representations that the mind presents of it. a mind is incapable of even perceiving what ails it—it is conditioned by its own activity—let alone remedying its problems through fiddling with the rational-material-economic structure of society.
objective reality is an abstract concept encompassing everything without any regards for intersubjective relations existing in a so-called physical world – its lack of roots makes it paradoxical in nature, like a worldview of subjectivist who thinks their reality has fixed boundaries which can be only shaped by their own actions
to me theres no use for truths which dont represent anything but the totality of all things
after all what is this objectivist totality if not just another arbitrary grouping?
a boring, schematic, rational thinking?
what makes it different from other agency robbing groupings like “astrological signs”, “sexes/genders”, “species”, “races/ethnicities”, “age categories” and “classes”?
the beauty of perceiving the world as full of many different realities is being unable to explain the process in detail – its a big anti-rational “fuck you” to the worshippers of popular science who dissect every single pretty little thing robbing it of its uniqueness, violently naming it
we can only feel it as we do right now and create conclusions based on our feelings
Although the clockwork universe was sought, paradoxically, for what were ultimately theological reasons, theology ceased to trouble scientific speculation. The century had arrived that would enthrone matter and Thomas Hobbes was its apologist. In his Leviathan he wrote: ‘That which is not body is no part of the universe, and because the universe is all, that which is no part of it is nothing, and consequently nowhere.’ Hobbes’s proclamation admits no compromise,and it charms people still. Of course Hobbes had not the least idea what matter was – he knew far less of it than theologians thought they knew of angels. His assertion was simply the incantation of a new creed. For over two centuries Hobbes’s creed was science’s.
Then,shortly after 1900, a revolution was ignited by Planck and Einstein that would banish substance,’ that unintelligible heart of materialism. Science had reduced matter to atoms, which at first seemed as substantial as so many little stones. Then atoms were reduced to particles – and nature sprained her surprise. Einstein showed that matter and energy were essentially the same thing, and that the one could be changed into the other – thus the atomic bomb. Although we acknowledged energy in our simple days, it was regarded not as substantial in any sense, but as the motion of substantial particles. Yet if matter can be converted into energy, obviously the notion of substance is almost exhausted. Substance, body, was by definition and our primitive understanding an ultimate that could certainly not be reduced to anything so tenuous as energy, which was after all not a thing, but the property of a thing. If any feeble life remained to substance, de Broglie delivered its death blow. In 1924, equations showed that a material particle could behave as a wave. That imaginative leap, verified experimentally three years later, won de Broglie the Nobel Prize in 1929. His formulations were further developed into wave mechanics by Schrodinger,Dirac, Heisenberg, and others. But when particles revealed their wave nature the game was over and substance was exposed as an illusion having no more fundamental tangibility than Ruth’s spectral form.
The external world of physics has thus become a world of shadows, ‘Sir Arthur Eddington said, ‘In removing our illusions we have removed substance, for indeed we have seen that substance is one of the greatest of our lusions. . . ‘ Some may feel they were robbed of the idea of substance by a sleight; that although matter waves are impalpable, they are nevertheless in some sense objective physical entities that still suggest something of substance, however ghostly. There was no sleight. Atomic particles are waves in a multidimensional space having nothing to do with the space we perceive. These waves are described as waves of probability with no material existence whatsoever. Schrodinger wrote that they are “completely immaterial waves; as immaterial as waves of nationalism, depression, or “streaking'” that sweep over a country.’ And Planck simply called them waves of knowledge.
personally, id call them magic
theres no use for praying when every moment of our life is an esoteric experience
abandon rituals and rites of passages! embrace the eternally dynamic chaos!
dont bother putting stuff in a box unless youre planning on burning that damn thing down, along with whatever is inside – nothing will ever end up in the “right” place or take an absolute form
theres no use for imaginary dome surrounding the universe
it makes the world seem as if its commanding us, rather than playfully inviting to orgasmic exploration in which we live neither as one single body nor the individual objects and their parts but as a chaotic dance of fuck knows what
i live in this spiritually molecular fuckstorm and i interact with it – this is what makes me and everything i experience real
hallucinations or delusions are only themselves when i acknowledge that they arent the part of reality i want to rely on
we are between everything and just when you think you found the inside or outside (subjective or objective truths) you get between something else
you could be a naked body floating in a void that sad people like to fantasize about but there still would be more to this than just “you” – what we call a “body” is a series of those relations which shape their own reality affecting ours or become affected by it
think of it as a never ending multitude of tiny big bangs
endless field of blooming flowers
still not sure if you want to see it that way?
notice how louis wains and pablo picassos art style got progressively more trippy and decomposed as they grew older
the mystery is being uncovered in front of our very eyes
subjectivity and objectivity reduces this formless collage of exchanged influences into an out of touch philosophical dead end
VIVA DISCORDIA!
