Do you want to know if a person who passes all the time doing nothing would be able to live a normal and happy life?
... I will not work, I will not engage any activity in the long or even in the medium term - but I'll need help! Please check out the nadaist contract at the bottom of the page
... and there's other pointless investigations ongoing, just take a look to the bar on the right hand side
The second language refers to a quite interesting proposal by Peter Sloterdijk: to try to translate more acuratelly some important words, e.g. enligtenment, in a way everybody (religious or not) could agree with.
There are new needs in the west, where everything has become so rationalistic, but there is an obvious source of misunderstanding when two people think about the same word in different ways. I'll try to find a writter or a phylosopher or a thinker that could have made a clarifying interpretation of 4 concepts: enlightenment, redemption, liberation and devotion.
differences
Is there any essential difference between a man and a woman?
Ok, there's obvious and visible differences. But let's look at it from another point of view.
If you try to live with somebody, and share most of your time, and be completely intimate, and shop furniture together, and even raise children...
do you expect it to be easy to understand and accept the human being you are sharing everything with?
are you not using the fact that your partner is a man or a women as an excuse because you don't understand anything about him/her?
These below are the differences I will accept. For the rest, I'd like to try to prove that men and women think the same way.
Body shapes. Some internal organs. Hormones. "Those days of the month". And only women get pregnant. There are some phisological differences everybody could agree with.
There's cultural differences: men and women are not educated the same way, i.e. they are repressed in different ways. For instance, men should not cry, women should always look beautiful.
There's the common vague understanding that men are somewhat more rational, (in their behaviour and decisions), while women are somehow more connected to their emotions, (i.e. women manage their emotions in a better way, and use them).
And there's the mysterious way in which women know exactly how much more they feel like eating or drinking, and in consecuense at the end of the meal they just sip your glass or cut a portion of a precise weight from your plate - it's exactly the piece they're missing.
