What a guy

It is a *tension to navigate*, not a lament.
Hense the relevance to the conversation. 😁 I think i'm finding my way through it, in the process of becoming an independent researcher. Nostr can be the most fertile ground for such things, which is why I build what I build.

Oh, I have it 😅
Don't make me post my D&G shelf that I can only just look at 🫣🤣🤣

Anti-Oedipus could be described as more grounded as a political/psychology book, while A Thousand Plateaus sprawls around with similar ideas but across domains. So the style might orient you there. Regardless - I'd recommend checking out some youtube videos (Quarantine Collective has streams going through AO in high depth) and see what you attach to. I've been simmering on their ideas for a while and have barely scratched anything 😅

What kind of philosophy do you care for? I could offer some insight, but perhaps not much 😅

And there, sits another tension to navigate that I think about a lot: The scientific process that enables new personal understanding, and the mechanics by which one is legibly productive within scientific institutions. Because I'd say I was very productive but not legibly productive. But on the opposite end it is quite possible to be *very* legibly productive, but not synthetically productive to science itself. 😁

I appreciate it, in any case!

Too.

The tao that can be stated is not the True Eternal Tao

Cataphasis - positive descriptions, what *it is*
Apophasis - negative descriptions, what *it is not*

Contradictions from within a system may be resolved by stepping outside the system.
We cannot step outside our system, so we must accept the contradictions. Through recognizing tension within conflicting truths, new understanding is possible to be formed - the *coincidentia oppositorum*. Ontologically, new things are birthed through tension in any case. So what is apparently a contradiction my just be a tension from within our current understanding.

That's sort of the starting frame I use to orient myself.

I need to get one of these 🤣
