  • Commenting on Medieval storytellers

    x The 12th century was arguably the most ‘storytelling’ century of the medieval period. If the Dark Ages – which were not dark at all – were centuries … Medieval storytellers —– I marvel at history and it’s commentaries. I love this guys blog; he’s always got really interesting stuff about the middle ages and…

  • The Beginning of Two Conversations

    ———(1) ——— I think we definitely have to be cognizant that how we see reality is related to our evolutionary affordances. We see the universe as a primate from the Africana savanna, who has to use metaphors to understand the very small and very large, because we can’t conceive of them directly the way we…

  • Subjective Overdetermination?

    The idea that everyone is having unique subjective experiences upon text may not be so significant as the issue of communication. It may very well be that we merely have not developed the terms under which such individual and primary experiences are allowed to be conveyed. Which is to say, to then see that such…

  • Another argument against the existence of white privilege: The postmodern “no exit“.

    (Note: These posts refer to Slovoj Zizek’s talk he did in Spain a few months ago; this one:   *** This ‘post-traumatic world’ that might exist in a utopian dream, if it were not for the naïve subject who is able to have a view where by hope can reside, does not occur within the…

    Considering Truth and Reality. Where Science, Religion and Superstition meet; The Communicative Move.
