…only the terms change.
Trip out on this essay on Barths:
Still, though, the point of Barths and this essay beckons a further divergence, but one that doubles back. For, indeed, what is it that i indicate by ‘conventional’? It appears the counter-punctual situation to the point of Barths, but yet even more, it indicates the sitution of his point is that there are two routes. Evidence is what we now need.
See also that where Barths speaks of faith, as toward a better, or more exacting indication of this position, for whch he says faith, for the purpose of substantiating this very position (non-position?) i turn this notion of faith on its head, and make a move contrary to say that no longer do we proceed into a situation from the burden of conventional proof; instead, the proof is taken as already manifest, and thereby i may speak of divergence as well as two routes. I speak of conventional faith, of reality itself being a product of faith. Thereby i can soeak of truth not as some special or fantastic derrivitive. I specifically speak of what is not real to indicate the rediculousness (but not the falsity) of conventional proclamations of ideological (based against nil) methodology that is proposed upon a ubiquitous plane that encompasses all possibility of truth.
I speak from the caveat that qualifies this essay within reality as a real emanation: The final caveat is the move of God that destroys God, the final reduction of Reason that defies itself rationally, to successfully argue that the entirety of God is contained in the absolute negation of the posibility of God — but not through some weak atheism; rather, by showing that all the possibility of God can be accounted for as an effect of consciousness, a natural operation of a thing of the universe.

>Evidence is what we now need.
Thank you; well-written. A friend once told me that, in the Catholic Church, the “feasts” oddly enough count as evidence. That’s all well and good for Catholics, I guess… But Barth is quite good here, since his is a specific kind of Protestant example.
Where is the other “type” of trippy Barth-esque festivity?
You mentioned proof. The other type demonstrates how a different, “intuitive type” of trippy feasting has already occurred. If anybody is up for the task of doing the math, I guess Per Martin Löf would be the pertinent logician of what is called “proof theory”, at this juncture. He speaks of constructive & intuitive types, in contradistinction from the more classical foundations of maths.
In a sense, Löf’s treatise “On the Meanings of the Logical Constants and the Justifications of the Logical Laws” (http://www.pps.univ-paris-diderot.fr/~saurin/Enseignement/LMFI/articles/Martin-Lof83.pdf) sounds quite like something-theological that could very well have been written by Barth, given the motifs of justification, meaning, and so forth.
There is something often seen as ‘assertive’ about the classical foundations of things, which is – conventionally – found wanting in the intuitive-alternatives. Just as the Catholic Church is arguably viewed conventionally as ‘assertive’ in a way that Barth’s Confessing Church, despite its best efforts, was not able to be. K-Barth issues declarations as computer programmers routinely ‘declare’ their intuitive types.
Although, to declare true things intuitively is not yet to assert. At any rate, this post I think sets forth a departure from any lingering “mathy moments” of Deleuze/Badiou/Laruelle/Zizek, etc. More in a bit.
👍🏽 badiou. Says somewhere , i think, that he just uses math as an analogy for what hes realky saying. 😉
I think im kinda being wishy washy a little here cuz the actual move has not yet been shown. But its some thing akin to “showing the having been shown the proof as distinguished from those who (still) need to be shown proof” because part of it is that only certain people will be able even to recignize the proof of proof. Lol.
…i added a paragraph to this post. For what we are after, after all, is the destruction of the transcendent. ;).
