Sou, džei kei Rollinga paslīdēja un pati pakļuva zem ceļa ruļļa, kuru pati palīdzēja radīt. Mani fascinē tie left canibalizing their own momenti. Tas ir kaut kas tik TIK. Neviens, pat ne vis bizzarro kults nav man zināmajā vēsturē izrādījis tik fucked up uzvedību. Te pat nav iespējams izjust īpašu šādenfraudi, jo wtf is even happening bitch?

Logos

The word has dozens of related meanings but they can be brought under three headings: metaphysical, psychological and linguistic.

Metaphysical (1): realness, authenticity, truth, intelligibility, meaning, essence, form, order, structure, purpose, point, relationship, unity, principal or universal.

Psychological (2): wisdom, understanding, knowledge, sagacity, intelligence, thought, explanation, reason or logic. The human psychological internalization of the first Logos, the metaphysical Logos.

Linguistic (3): word or words, language, speech, communication, revelation, expression, manifestation, argument, discourse, testimony, witness or explanation. Logos number 3 is a mind's externalization of Logos number 2, as Logos number 2 is a minds internalization of Logos number 1.

These are the three things that Gorgias the Sophist denied in ancient Greece. He summarized his philosophy in three sentences: 1. There is no intelligible reality, no order and meaning to reality; 2. even if there were, it could never be known, never be understood; 3. even if anyone did understand it, it could never be communicated.

The history of philosophy has been structured by these three denials:

Pre-modern philosophy (ancient and medieval) - Centered on metaphysics and ended with the nominalism of William of Ockham, a denial of Logos number 1: intelligible universals.

Modern philosophy (beginning with Descartes and Bacon) - Centered on epistemology and ended with the empiricist skepticism of Hume, and the even more radical skepticism of Kant who denied that anyone could ever know things as they are in themselves, a denial of Logos number 2: objective reality.

Post-modern philosophy (20th century) - Concentrated on philosophy of language and culminated in deconstructionism, a denial of Logos number 3: the denial that words can tell truths.
