Dear translators,

Idgaf what language this was originally in and what Lyotard actually wrote, USE SOME FUCKING COMMAS. This sentence is barely grammatically acceptable, and hardly legible, which makes you a poor fucking piss poor excuse of somebody whose main (paid??) task is the realm of communication and language.

...Though also, my balls would shrivel up at the thought of trnalsating homi bhabha.

Is there a record for longest amount of time an ESTJ spends in shadow INFP mode? Can someone give me a medal for it? It'd be nice to have a medal.

So if somebody claims to be straight, but can point out the LGBT by sight, would you question their sexuality? :thinking:

....... If they're looking at me with that intense flirting Gay (tm) look and they've pegged me for the gender they're supposed to not be interested in, then yes.

In reality, though, that's never gonna happen.

"freshly fallen snow looks like dusted sugar on a cake, don't you think?"

now this lighting, this scene, makes me think of that morning in rubashov's cell, with the same light and snow as described by koestler

koestler was definitely influenced by the linguistic turn, i think, like beckett was. the rhythm of the unnameable were amazing towards the end. ah, literature, so useless, so nerdy

Koestler's Darkness at Noon was a story about a Bolshevik who was arrested in the Great Purge in the 30s and got put in solitary, subjected to interrogation, and made to admit things he didn't do. As he was about to be sentenced to death, he realised that the "grammatical I" exists. He comes to understand that the neglect of the "grammatical I" was the failure of the revolution.

It's beautifully written:

Perhaps later, much later, the new movement would arise—with new flags, a new spirit knowing of both: of economic
fatality and the “oceanic sense”. Perhaps the members of the new party will wear monks’ cowls, and preach that only
purity of means can justify the ends. Perhaps they will teach that the tenet is wrong which says that a man is the quotient of
one million divided by one million, and will introduce a new kind of arithmetic based on multiplication: on the joining of a
million individuals to form a new entity which, no longer an amorphous mass, will develop a consciousness and an
individuality of its own, with an “oceanic feeling” increased a millionfold, in unlimited yet self-contained space.​
