Squaring the Root of Uncertain Times

Week of July 5th, 2020

P.S. Poorly thought through follow up thoughts on Mimetic Desire and Animism

This was left over after I edited down my previous post. You can read it here. I think Girard's theories may preclude the notion of mimetic desire forming between persons who are human and the more than human. I'm not sure if we conclude that all desire is fundamentally non-human. It's fuzzy to me. Heritage seems distinctively human, cyclical mimetic then, preserving the … [Read more...] about P.S.

Moonrise (and set) Kingdom, a February Update (Revised 2-27)

As January matured, my regular work load for the old reliable 9-5 began to shore up. February saw me assigned to assist on a project out of office and often out doors in freezing weather until Wednesday the 26th. A change in the schedule from five 8 hour shifts to four 9 hour shifts with a "4" on Friday (combined with a longer commute and bad weather exacerbated an already … [Read more...] about Moonrise (and set) Kingdom, a February Update (Revised 2-27)
