Do Not Fret Patrick, Take Solace In This Quote...... - AudioHead 10:34:28 11/02/05 (14)
"The height of audacity in serving up pure nonsense, in stringing
together senseless and extravagant mazes of words, such as had been
only previously known in madhouses, was finally reached in Hegel(via
his dialectics ~AH), and became the instrument of the most barefaced,
general mystification that has ever taken place, with a result which
appear fabulous to posterity, as a monument to German stupidity." ~
Arthur Schopenhauer

        It's infamous. It was written as a prank by Alan Sokal(who really did manage to get it published in "Social Text") to expose the nonsense rampant in that area of academia. More information related to the "Social Text Affair" at this link.

    AS had a pessimistic temperment that deeply colored his worldview, like Buddha, he saw "world as suffering", a blanket generalization IMO. ~AH

      Yes, but it goes with my own temperament. I tend to see it this way too, I mean the...World...

        although I thought you would have been more of an optimist, judging
        by your spirited, frequent participation at Film Forum. However, AS
        DID advocate aesthetic appreciation, particulary music, (along with
        moral compassion and aescetic discipline) to help
        alleviate suffering. IMO, some semblance of balance should be
        struck tween unattenuated optimism (egoistic hubris) and unattenuated
        pessimism (idic inferiority). ~AH

        Don�t you know that the merrier the clown is, the more depressed he gets...
        But is is all a question of un-balance....

        See the funny little clown
        See him laughin' as you walk by,
        Everbody thinks he's happy
        Cause you never see a tear in his eye.
        No one knows he's cryin'
        No one knows he's dyin'...on the inside,
        Cause he's laughin' on the outside
        ummm, no one knows...no one knows.
