Right ranking

Judgments express valuations (as in weightings).
They are a type of dichotomization.

Dichotomies are lies.
Judgments are worse.

Prejudices are the worst.

Things just don’t work like that

Oberserving myself . . .

rattus — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 22:05:47 +0000

I am observing.

I am observing myself.

I am observing myself observing myself.

I am observing myself observing myself observing myself.

. . . and so on and so forth . . .

I am observing myself observing myself … being lazy.

I am observing myself observing myself … being lazy observing myself.

What we want

“If this is what you want”.

Want, wish, desire, need, necessity, to hope for, and long for, to envision and imagine, also habit, being used to, require, or lust, appetite, hunger, passion, zest, and — last but sure not least — love are all similar in some ways. One might say these notions are all the same as much as they are different — and differentiating.

And then, there is what we do, and there is what we talk (or write) about, which is just another act which we think of as being what we “want”.

This is (in short) what I wanted to say.
