The human obsession of justification only continues in our narcissistic quest to blog. Maybe some people just want to write out their souls, but it doesn't matter. Anything put on the internet in this manner, that is, everything that fills this niche of media ecology, contributes to the devaluation, the reduction of fitness, of every other idea in this realm of communication. I guess I am part of the problem.
I am sorry. But wait; there is no place for apologies in warfare. Nor is there place for ecology in warfare. And yes, this is warfare. I blog because this is an arms-race of intellectual proliferation, of mental ammunition.
In today's world of media, we are all carnivores.
An Attempt at Defining the "Me"
- Мартин Флaнaгaн
- For the purpose of this writing, "subject" means the individual human being. To define myself or another being, it is necessary to deny the notions of human "souls" or "personalities" that dwell within the body. Instead, we must look at humans as machines, functioning with chemical reactions that create the illusions of thought and emotion. Therefore, the mere concept of the inner subject cannot refer to a human creature. The subject instead refers to something that does not exist in the human. But in its nonexistence, the human subject has all the potential possible to be whatever it wishes without the actual desire. And it can apply, though feels no reason to, to both me and you. The subject that is me can be yours.
