“I am nothing and I should be everything.”
So you wanted to be free of the tyranny of meaning? There you go.
So you wanted to no longer truck in strict negation? How’s that going?
Such aspirations are not going to make things any easier. How have we not learned this lesson yet? You are still attempting to solve the problems inherent in symbol use through symbol use. It’s as inbred and ill advised as it sounds. You know better. This is the root complaint of deconstructionism. “Guess and check?” Well, since we’ve long since determined that there is no way to verify the veracity of communication – theoretically or practically – it’s more like guess and guess. As a means of bridging distance and unclenching fists this ranks alongside jack and squat.
So the issue is…what? Achieving connection? How much are you willing to suffer to achieve some passing connection to a numerically distinct self? It’s really not that amazing. There’s no promise of felicity or even satisfaction. It’s a blinking light like Voyager proceeding in one direction: away. That’s you.
What else is there, then? Oh, don’t pretend that you don’t know. There is body. Haptics. Brainstem shit the likes of which you’ve summarily dismissed in passive aggressive pride. That’s what there is. Body has solutions where artifice has none.
Certain problems will be overcome, but it can be safely assumed that many others will simply cease to be. The system of pulse and procedure that led to such ungainly proposition and, let’s be frank, wholesale misery, is a necessary condition for their perpetuity. You can deny that child sustenance and it will surely wither. Why cut off so many heads when you can just disbelieve?
