Homework

This is a part of the homework feature of my blog, which is an ongoing conversation with my mate S.F.

Hey mate. Lovely to see you again, as always.

“I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings but seriously fuck off.”

I was reading Being and Time by Martin Heidegger (the NAZI philosopher) but when I read the following quote I decided it was nonsense and time to stop reading:

“Temporality reveals itself as the meaning of authentic care.”

The definition of ‘gestalt‘:

  1. A physical, biological, psychological, or symbolic configuration or pattern of elements so unified as a whole that its properties cannot be derived from a simple summation of its parts.
  2. A collection of physical, biological, psychological or symbolic entities that creates a unified concept, configuration or pattern which is greater than the sum of its parts (of a character, personality, or being).
  3. Shape, form.

This video about “metamodernism” is interesting: The Rise of the Meaning Economy – A major paradigm shift is coming, this will reshape life and work!. It’s about adopting Asian philosophy as a response to postmodernism in the West.

“I’m all in on everything.”

“I read Nietzsche but all I can… yeah nah but so what?”

“Just Kant.”

How do you make a room smile at you?

There’s nothing good about evil.

There’s nothing right about right.

“Postmodernism is a round hole.”

“So what is it with your meanings?”
