Ethics of the Real, an act. <\/a><\/p>\n

Here it is!\u00a0 What would be a more AUTHENTIC ACT?<\/a><\/p>\n

The lie is the form of tragedy itself. The true horror, Gulag, Holocaust is that they are more tragic than tragedy<\/a>.\u00a0 Tragedy still presupposes a minimum of dignity.<\/p>\n

What dies on the cross is God himself.<\/a> The catastrophe of the Holocaust was a catastrophe for God himself.<\/p>\n

What we know, known knowns, there are known unknowns.<\/a><\/p>\n

There is always a minimal tension in us between belief and disbelief. Did the ancient Greeks believe in their myths?<\/a><\/p>\n

How social groups work<\/a> We never simply have rules.\u00a0 You obey you’re in, you disobey you’re out.\u00a0 No, if you obey rules, sometimes you’re seen as an idiot.\u00a0 Not simply obey the rules, but to know which rules to violate.\u00a0\u00a0 The first question you ask yourself, “Is it really prohibted, do it but do it discreetly, or is it really prohibited.”\u00a0 Or the opposite, something is secretly a call to do it, but in a certain way: You are allowed, permitted to do it, a freedom of choice on condition you do not do what you are permitted.\u00a0 Japan in workers can use 40 days of holiday, but they are expected not to use the right in its full extent.<\/p>\n

The famous Judith Butler anecdote: You Owe Me No Apology!<\/a> I used vulgar words. So I saw I did something terribly wrong, and called her later to apologize. Our entire ethical substance hangs on these implicit rule, cannot be normalized or canonized. This is one of the problems of political correctness, it tends to legalize what should function as spontaneous set of rules. The moment you have to do it the battle is already lost. It is obscene to say, “I oppose to rape” and then to give arguments. I want to live in a society where the I don’t have to argue for this. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
