Outtakes

As I see it, life encompasses everything. That proposition presents serious difficulties because what I intend it to mean differs from common, nearly universal usage.

My Studiolo

I come here, attentvely, to reflect on interests and uncertainties, feeling troubled yet curious, buffered from immediate cares, responsive to unexpected remembrance, speculative while (or because?) I'm imperfectly informed, eager to follow clues that point to something promising, to something that will support me in my ignorance.

My ignorance — alive, I am uncertain; I never know what will happen next. Were the stone thoughtfully sentient, it would be certain that nothing would happen until external force jolted it into action. Alive, I come to mystudiolo owing to my ignorance. My ignorance arises, and continues, because I live, situated in time and space like the stone, but able to some degree, tangible however faint, to act, to initiate and sustain acting force within the realm of forces all about me.

Ignorance emerges, not from failings, not from excessive wants or needs, but from vital activity. My ignorance is the price of my living, embodied in vast space and restless time. In living, nothing exists; all emergesable to discern prospects fully or surely Here, it's my space where I recognize the value of things about me, seen and unseen, raising this up, lowering that, then reversing, this down and that that up, judging worth as I see fit, its possibility and its lack.

The Point

(as in "What's the point?")

Arendt on Natality

There's a point to all acting by living beings. That's what distinguishes the activities in their lives from the churning about of lifeless matter and energy. We can say about what happened in the dead flux of lifeless stuff that it was the consequence of various forces on various objects, but all of that just takes place without any point.
