Impressionen No. XLVI: Total noise

Schaffenskrise.

"Part of our emergency is that it's so awfully tempting to do this sort of thing right now, to retreat to narrow arrogance, preformed positions, rigid filters, the "moral clarity" of the immature. The alternative is dealing with massive, high-entropy amounts of info and ambiguity and conflict and flux; it's continually discovering new vistas of personal ignorance and delusion. In sum, to really try to be informed and literate today is to feel stupid nearly all the time, and to need help. 

(...) What free, informed adulthood might look like in the context of Total Noise: not just the intelligence to discern one’s own error or stupidity, but the humility to address it, absorb it, and move on and out there from, bravely, toward the next revealed error." (David Foster Wallace, 2007)
 
Störrisches Kind.

Insomnia.


Europe is lost.
