If Oscar Wilde had lived in our time, he would be a /b/tard.

Actually, scratch that. He does, and goes by Jethro Q Walrustitty.

Also is it bad that one of my thoughts was "that Buivenga's work sure does get around..."?

Also for some reason I want a taste of that green stuff that Gamzee isn't supposed to eat but does anyway. And the mind honey.

We still have scholars today who busy themselves with philosophy and who consider freedom-from-every-standpoint not to be a standpoint, as though such freedom did not depend upon those very standpoints. These curious attempts to flee from one's own shadow we may leave to themselves, since discussion of them yields no tangible results. Yet we must heed one thing: this standpoint of freedom-from-standpoints is of the opinion that it has overcome the one-sidedness and bias of prior philosophy, which always was, and is, defined by its standpoints. However, the standpoint of standpointlessness represents no overcoming. In truth it is the extreme consequence, affirmation, and final stage of that opinion concerning philosophy which locates all philosophy extrinsically in standpoints that are ultimately right in front of us, standpoints whose one-sidedness we can try to bring into equilibrium. We do not alleviate the ostensible damage and danger which we fear in the fact that philosophy is located in a particular place—such location being the essential and indispenable legacy of every philosopohy—by denying and repudiating the fact; we alleviate the danger only by thinking through and grasping the indigenous character of philosophy in terms of its original essence and its necessity, that is to say, by posing anew the question concerning the essence of truth and the essence of human Dasein, and by elaborating a radically new response to that question.

Take that Robert Anton Wilson.

That's why the cleverer followers don't claim to have escaped completely.

And now you have another key clue as to whether the guy you're reading isn't as clever as he thinks he is.

I wonder if I could make a philosophy by claiming to oppose all viewpoints on principle. Including my own.

This has probably been done.

Fuck.

Oh well. Maybe I can create a philosophy devoted entirely to hating bunnies with blue fur.

Useful in any way? No, but fuck if I won't do it anyway.

Hmm?

Sometimes I like to turn the volume on my guitar up so high the walls shake. I can't do this very often...

Safari suddenly appeared on my computer. I've heard people talk about it before. What is it exactly?

It's a web browser that's selected for installation by default when you update iTunes.

Oh, that's where it came from.

Is it any good? I'm using the same blue "e" that says "Internet" under it right now.
