Well not in-person you don’t, but only from the hushed corridors of philosophy forums that we both frequent.

Nice to [metaphorically] see you..

Who can ever truly know another?

..perhaps some have an ability to know others, better than others will ever know or comprehend themselves.

Perhaps..

are lost in the labyrinth?
Do you remember how I offered
you a life in the light?
But you turned from me laughing
at the mere suggestion
And you dove into the darkness of
that subterranean world
Thinking it was a way to the sun.
I have remained vigilant, I have
listened at the door… waiting.
But no sound of you has reached
me; you are lost.
CA [1999]

Perhaps the alluded-to regrets her choice, but has been powerless or unable to act on it, ever since.


Nice prose..

..don’t worry, we get used to it.

Some, crave the attention and perpetually succumb.. others, well, what do they become or becomes of them.

Nietzsche wrote:A woman may very well form a friendship with a man, but for this to endure, it must be assisted by a little physical antipathy.

Agape, philia, contains little hope for eroticism.

..but where there’s a will there’s a way.

Seriously though.. if two people want to be together, they can make it happen.


I now take leave of your thread, for the rest of the day [genuflects/bows, whilst walking backwards]

Baudrillard, Jean wrote:At the heart of pornography is sexuality haunted by its own disappearance.

Baudrillard, Jean wrote:America is the original version of modernity. We are the dubbed or subtitled version. America ducks the question of origins; it cultivates no origin or mythical authenticity; it has no past and no founding truth. Having known no primitive accumulation of time, it lives in a perpetual present.

The American mindset.
Americanism = Globalism. Techno-Utopia.
Cultivating men with no past. Last Man. Living in a "perpetual present."

This leads to postmodernism.
Men with no pat - no nature = sum of all past nurturing - imagine themselves gods that can create a fading reality.

Every Empire has its sacred cows, building mythologies around them....America's are the triad:
Sex/Gender, Paraphilia/Fetishism, and Race
All governed by the pleasure principle.
When the Last man loses everything, including his identity, what is left to him but the certainty of pleasure.

Good riddance to the vile old hag who spawned you. I hope she suffered.

Someone died?

Dead or dying. Who cares? When someone says 'goodbye mother' it kind of looks like the old slut has popped her clogs.

HA!!!
Clueless...

But the hatred was pure you, dear.
Protector of victims....
Who victimized you so brutally, sweetie.
Tell me the story.

Hopefully the disgusting hag is suffering. Mental torture is the worst kind
More interested in keeping her hairy fuckbuddy happy than protecting the innocent.

If wishes were truths....

Hag suffering as you are, dear?
What is torturing you, dear?
