we live in a world

Gombrowicz on me

“Why, my man is created from the outside, that is, he is inauthentic in essence- he is always not-himself, because he is determined by form, which is born between people. His “I”, therefore, is marked for him in that “interhumanity.” An eternal actor, but a natural one, because his artificiality is inborn, it makes up a feature of his humanity-to be a man means to be an actor-to be a man means to pretend to be a man-to be a man means to “act like” a man while not being one deep inside-to be a man is to recite humanity.”
― Witold Gombrowicz

All that energy that could be used to work together to improve the human condition, goes to competing for hungry eyeballs.

Leading a life that will never be approved of

So there. This is what you have done.

Something inside is waiting until you are gone.

My highest morality is a travesty.

My greatest love, revolting.

My sacred ones, a blemish on your race.

My hatred, the purest thing I know.

How I avoided Depression

The original title of this article was “How I Overcame Depression” because it sounds more spectacular and is more likely to propel me into the realm of fickle yet immensely enjoyable Internet fame. But I didn’t want to lie. I don’t believe my symptoms, burdensome and debilitating as they were, warranted the diagnosis of clinical …

Poetry

Gentle lady, do not sing
Sad songs about the end of love;
Lay aside sadness and sing,
How love that passes is enough.

Sing about the long deep sleep
Of lovers that are dead and how
In the grave all love shall sleep
Love is aweary now

– James Joyce

Was an effort made to create this? Was an effort made to overcome this? Is good art the capitulation of the artist?

Review: Enlightenment Now by Steven Pinker

Seven years after his The Better Angels of our Nature, the book in which he presented abundant statistics and reasons why violence has declined, Steven Pinker has published an even more ambitious tome defending the idea and ideals of Enlightenment. The controversy that arose from the ‘cautiously optimist’ view he presented in 2011 might have …

Whatever works (flarf)

Howdy, There’s no doubt that your web site could be having internet browser compatibility issues. Raise your arms their own original position and then squeeze the blades of the shoulder. In countries like America where we eat little fish, the obesity rate is sky rocketing. First step is to write several high quality articles but additionally …

Reading: Writing a résumé by Wisława Szymborska

Fellow Dutch poet Martijn Benders mentioned a poem by the famous Wisława Szymborska that I didn’t know yet. I like it so here it is. Writing a résumé What needs to be done?

Alzheimer’s

it was hard to determine the precise moment
when her gaze became tomorrowless

although i remember the thick smell of sheets
and the clinical light

i can still remember that she stole a kiss
and that all she knew was left in her hands
how they held on to the cold bars of the bed
