how am I supposed to be chill when not a month goes by that I don't think about how Kierkegaard said that a thinker without a paradox is like a lover without a paramour?

thanks go to @freealonzo.bsky.social for the lively conversation and suggesting the topic for last night's show

Della @streettheorist.bsky.social · 2d

that was my loose translation of the original:

"Boire sans soif et faire l'amour en tout temps, il n'y a que ça qui nous distingue des autres bêtes."

for those who really love Enlightenment-era French theater

on my radio show last night, I was talking abt the essence of humanity and the lines btwn human/machine/animal

today I remembered this line from The Marriage of Figaro (by Beaumarchais):

Drinking when you're not thirsty and making love any time,
that's all that distinguishes us from other beasts

Della @streettheorist.bsky.social · 3d
