I've been up since 6.47. I got Kirsten to the courthouse, I got the other things (post office, farmer's market, water bill) done. I'm really ridiculously tired, and really quite hungry. I don't know if I told you, but my metabolism doesn't self-regulate on days when I wake up before 7.30am, and so I've been vacillating between ravenous and nauseated, all day. Right now I'm back to ravenous, and I think we may have hit equilibrium, here.
This evening, I had a really productivce conversation with Dennis, about the nature of the power/conception-dialectic that is involved in the opposition of orthodox and heterodox positions of any kind, specifically in relation to How Magic Falls Out Of Favour In Religions Which Otherwise Supported It. We realised that the only way "out" was the understanding of the creative ability of context, and to approch both halves of the pre-existing dialectic with the honest desire to Understand the Other. The ability to create an internally consistent context, and to explicate the consistency of that context to the satifaction of an "Other" becomes paramount to actual understanding, and derailing the problematic elements of the dialogue which sustain the self-perpetuation tension thereof.
I need to sit down and write it out, but the whole thing basically reads like an "And Now What," built out of my thesis, The Invisibles, and The Prisoner.
And now I drink beer and start writing my thoughts on cyborg metaphysics.
