Archaic English and German writing styles s's looked similar to f's.
Germans still wrote archaically until the early 20th century.

German spelling of the name,
if I am not mistaken.
I concerned myself primarily with German translations.

And after that I do various things that will change daily,
as well repeating some things that are already on my list [Reading another 50 pages, reading poetry or writing, generally speaking. The schedule tends to be stuck to, but what happens afterward varies.].

I personally see nothing in David Foster Wallace, Cormac McCarthy, or Haruki Murakami.

Avoid: Salman Rushdie and contemporary British literature in general, Bertrand Russell and David Hume

Similar quotes are found in Plato's Cratylus.
I had written the sentence written from either that or another book a few weeks ago, but never wrote down what exact page or book it was.
I tend to re-read so I will write it down once I find it again.

>>7231389
>Can you explain to me why you felt the need to write this, and to give it 18 sentences?
I have a schedule written out for the day and I happened to follow the schedule today,
which includes spending time writing.
I had written something beforehand which happened to have 18 sentences.
The number is arbitrary.
I was seized by the afflatus to post it on the literature board of 4chan,
considering it begins with a quote related to literature,
not to mention what it would most likely be associated with,
the field of philosophy, knows itself primarily through literature.
I did it as opposed to not.

>Are you clarifying it for yourself, or do you assume that somebody could benefit or learn something from what you've written?
They would learn something from what I have written and no,
it is not necessarily clarification, but I see no reason not to read responses to the sentences I have written.

>>7231147
>I think that you should thoroughly study & detail the claim that we operate in mythology in some capacity
True. Perhaps in the future I will gather information about the etymology of the word "mythology" and how it relates to what I am concerning myself with.

>don't be afraid to work towards writing a book
Writing essays currently,
but they could potentially be gathered in to a book.
The problem is: "Who is my audience?"

>>7231129
>transcendence
The word may be incorporated in to your mythology.
You may appropriate the opening and passing through of the door as a transcending of the limits of a room,
or the firing of a rocket as the transcending of the limits of earth,
but why this word as opposed to any other?

>whether or not it dilutes self-remembering or consciousness
To remember what?
What is of importance that should be remembered?

>>7231051
>idea precedes form
"Being" is imposed and out of them grow ideas of separation: abstract thought that knows itself or doesn't.

>the apparitions have their uses
What are the prerequisites for something being useful or not?
What goal is not a farce?
I hear "Occam's Razor" in the distance.

Toward the other sentences I have no response.
These two I was seized by an afflatus to respond to.

"Common sense has its own necessity; it asserts its rights with the weapon peculiarly suitable to it, namely, appeal to the "obviousness" of its claims and considerations. However, philosophy can never refute common sense, for the latter is deaf to the language of philosophy. Nor may it even wish to do so, since common sense is blind to what philosophy sets before its essential vision." - [Martin Heidegger/ On the Essence of Truth/ Basic Writings pg. 66]

>>7230915
You misquoted me.
There are 18 sentences in the paragraph I posted and you responded to none of them.

"Only if Science exists on the basis of metaphysics can it advance further in its essential task, which is not to amass and classify bits of knowledge but to disclose in ever-renewed fashion the entire region of truth in nature and history." - [Martin Heidegger/ What is Metaphysics/Basic Writings pg. 56/57]

Apparitions

“No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.” - Heraclitus

I am drifting through farce and its alternative, as well as mythology and its alternative. People live through farce and mythology: Farce reveals itself at its most farcical when it claims to be free of itself. Mythology reveals itself at its most mythological when it claims to be free of itself. There is an ignorance that is imposed during contemplation: Ignorance only reveals itself in the face of a task which can not be completed. I am seeking something: An apparition. There are times when we take something to be negative and wish to remove its attributes but can not understand the procedures necessary for its removal. We may suddenly get strange mythological ideas that may or may not align with the truth. We may begin journeys with intentions which change halfway through. We may pretend myths are completely without substance. We may associate our myths with an objective attribute. We may trigger a change in colour or sense-data and assume we have an objective for the journey. We name separate ideas of objects and persons based on preference, observation, and ignorance. We separate ideas of objects and persons based on preference, observation, and ignorance. We presuppose attributes and laws based on memories of the migration of colour and "sense-data". Every moment we are seized by phenomenological apparitions revealing themselves as "sense-data".

Perhaps the word "procedure" is more conducive.
Time, taking free will in to account, realises itself in "procedures", defined by the creative interaction with extension. On this spectrum of possible procedures, there can be anything between none and all possibilities leading to what may be referred to as an "epiphany", which I would imagine is also defined by creative interaction with extension, extension being that which has been taken, mistakenly or not, as a concrete exterior force as opposed to some thing which has arisen out of the mind's creation and interaction with those things which are taken to be concrete. Perhaps we have known an epiphany which has been seized as external, when in fact it had not been, its procedure unconscious to us and never to be known again. The new epiphany would know itself as objective knowledge on its procedure and its procedure in itself.

>DO YOU MEAN TO ASK IF MY HYPOTHESIS PRESUPPOSES THAT A PERSON CONSCIOUSLY, OR UNCONSCIOUSLY, PERFORMS AN ACTION, OR SERIES OF ACTIONS, THAT CAUSES THE TRIPLE CONCURRENCE OF CONDITIONS?
No, I understand what you are referring to as epiphany is something that has been triggered externally to your understanding in the past.

>THE CONCURRENCE WOULD OCCUR STOCHASTICALLY
Then what is the value of the notion of an epiphany?

This reminds me of Quantum physics.
Just the last part.
Question, out of curiosity: Do you believe in free will?

Update: Still writing something, to be done in a few days.

>>7210671
Oh? I read and I'm sure you do too.

>>7210646
Also, isn't that that French/German television channel? I used to watch that during vacation every now and again between reading, writing, drawing, et cetera.

>>7210646
So you never intended to read Ada?

>>7210580
Right...
If I remember the last time I was posting in the same thread as you you had posted an article written by a [philosopher?] I had not yet been aware of who wrote negatively of... Nietzsche, Foucault and D.H. Lawrence?

>>7210570
???
Didn't you hate Nietzsche?

Ingrid was building herself up to me, growing in petri-dish with swiveling arms, mirage-like across concrete and grass tufts growing between yellowing path.

>>7210470
They read and write daily.
I get the impression most people do not do that.

>>7210426
Question: a] Have you only become aware of me today?
b] Do you mind the images or the username more?

>>7210430
How do you mean?
There is no reason to suggest someone NEEDS to receive any sort of recognition from University X, Y, Z to concern themselves with literature.

>>7210403
The idea that you need the recognition of an institution to concern yourself with literature is unnecessary.

>>7210402
I am aware.
