A Question of Motivation.

 

The myth of Icarus, (is) a metaphorical allegory of bipolar disorder:  manic depression on the most obvious interpretation,  "Carry on my wayward son," etc. 

 

Yet there looms up like a Fool Moon, the fact of the Wright Brothers, Wilbur, Orville.  They really wanted to fly. And the rest is history by now.

 

So what drives people to want there to be such a thing as "non-binary" human beings? The allegory of mental illness, " a presenting symptom" thereof has seen proposal. Yet. And yet ...

 

The analogy, counterpart, to the Wright Brothers would be the "transhumanists."   Because it's there,  Climb Every Mountain, etc. etc. Yet what looms for the transhumanists is, immortality:  the Fountain of Youth.

 

Cishumanists I think in their hearts of hearts are none too few (or equally far, none to few) and far between on this reading.  It's, to be at least, to want to be, relatively immortal is a sign of sanity, of lust for life, of mental health.

 

So whence this quixotic quest? 

 

 


 

What drives them? And even more so the ones who want to in Seinfeldian language, "do the opposite," even as far as seems foolery, be the opposite? 

 

Fool-proof.

 

Surpassingly passing for? 

 

Tsirohooyam yaw iisawuy soosoyom aw puuyaltoti nit pu' himungwa aw pite' pangqawngwu', "I' nuy, pu' i' nuy." Soosoyom iisawuy and homasay mawya.

 

There's no Therians There/Avians vs Aviators/Final Furry.

 

It's been suggested that our descent from brachiating apes is the origin of human Fliegenlust, the Icarus Urge. Apes swinging through the trees, gibbon-like, from forest branches, in Africa, and Asia, and Eurasia more  generally.

 

Ironic it was in the New World, and in France, aviation really became a thing:  evolution from bicycles and internal combustion motors. 

 

Also notable is the vocation of Charles Lindbergh, aviator, and the first 'America First!' icon. 

 

As well as feminists/aviatrices, the aviatrix. 

 

Men jumping off cliffs in bird suits, hang gliders, the whole panoply of decorative if not always decorous indigenous Americans, icons themselves, often mounted in their final fury, on horseback. 

 

One last observation ...  The Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun, was the Faun, a "furry"?

 

As an observation in the form of a question.

The (Judith) Butler did it: Hoag's Hoax yet again.

Image
    "Sometimes all of our Thoughts are misgiven."       The peculiar theories of Judith Butler are based on a misinterpretation of what one might call synecdochally, " Schrödinger's Cat " ...   The link is to a short  video of the infamous "Ames Window," which like  Schrödinger's Cat is not to be taken at face value. It is a quirk of our viewpoint, of our evolutionary psychology, of our own perspective, not of the reality behind appearances.   The science fiction trope of "an indeterminate quantum fog" as philosophized on by such gigantic invertebrates of philosophy as Slavoj Žižek  has led us to the dead end of applied "social construction" theory. Misapplied to be the absolutely very least bit precise.   This amorphous nebulous Debussyan fog is where  (Judith) Butler makes/takes/gives/ misgives , her stand.   Where "they" make "their" stand as "they" would have it. The full book is here .    Ot...

Root Orange Ouroboros Theory.

Image
      Inexplicably the Trump phenomenon seemed to vomit itself into existence out of nothing, but Root Orange Ouroboros Theory is an idea that it was actually flying under the radar with a weaponized stealth issue kept in peripheral vision by distractions and constant deployment of so-called "orange herrings," red herrings as decoys, and "dog-whistles" so-called. For example the fashionable twitter "statue PfPs," and enigmatic ambiguously interpretable allusions to 'saving Western Civilization.'    To lay it all out, what lay underneath, the essence, or root of the orange ouroboros was a simple set of axioms, presumed to be self-evident. To the extent that they resonated, they helped conjure the unlikely fruit into existence like "clockwork," so to speak:   a) There ain't no such thing as a they/them.   b)  Nobody was "born in the wrong body."   c) The belief that one can be or that oneself is, is a mental illness.   d) T...
