Wild to witness, if clear enough in distance the approx 25 min eruptions of Volcan Fuego.

A dormant Acatenango to its left. Fear I'm too old to hike its summit to see Fuego blast at close range... Lol and embarrassed at thought of the horse cheater option.

One almost suspects the imaginary entity, Kant's productive imagination perhaps - an anterior play, is the real thing... splitting into the fictional abstractions of self and world in playful spacing and timing.

...and the fate of taking foreground illusions too damn seriously

The Stancil bubble: the delusion that barbarity is not already baked in all over the place & holding us hostage to some tired fiction for which any suspicion of bullshit is casually labled 'leftist.'

so, the apparent force here (Hegel, Faith and Knowledge) is that the intermediate is not the invention but a Sache whereby both concepts and the manifold are spawn/abstractions.

A difficult terrain on its own terms, then the legacy.

...been trying to grasp Sallis going there...

The whole giving and taking motif of the aesthetic starts to fray at the edges and melt... a work meant to push dialectic into it's proper corner, then suddenly there it erupts at the center.

Instead of consciousness we could try to speak of a more primary, anterior action as phronesis.

Wouldn't be so simple tho, since scientific storytelling unfurls out of this too. Plus "it" would be invisibly in front of our faces, conditioning everything forever. #philsky

There's a weird vector now where people get dogmatically bent over predication.

Make what should be the obvious point regards assigning necessary conditions about a patently equivocal term - especially given alternate paradigms - and expect outrage and a block... after a fanboy pile on.
