The Alien Installation

Every one of us human beings has two minds. One is totally ours, and it is like a faint voice that always brings us order, directness, purpose. The other mind is a foreign installation. It brings us conflict, self-assertion, doubts, hopelessness. In other words, one is our true mind, the product of all our life experiences, the one that rarely speaks because it has been defeated and relegated to obscur...

XV – Disobjective Events

Regarding crazies and doctors, or maybe just crazy-doctors, I have one thing to say: it is all a question of representation. Today, while this occurred to me, and considering that I still remain imprisoned here, I realized that for me to get out, I have to play the game. We have to immerse into it in order to change it, to turn it inside out and crudely expose our unique rationale, our vision of a diff...

Poisenous Anger

Once I heard someone say: ‘Not even if I killed a thousand people would my anger let up.’ This is what we can call ‘efficient’ anger. It is lethal. It destroys, little by little, the person who harbors it. This person one day caught what seemed to be her husband committing adultery and from there on her life was a dead end. She cut off any romantic involvement with her spouse. She violently att...

It would raise the number of candidates for priesthood, they say. As a married man, they would better understand the problems of family life. Would they? Does a doctor need to have the flu in order prescribe its vaccine? And the scandals concerning se...

XIV – Living and Learning to Play

Daniel, my captivating friend who was here with me just now, doesn’t speak. Wizened, listens, throws his head back and laughs regularly. His diagnosis by the men in white is autism, I think. I consider him to be brilliant. He doesn’t say so, but he keenly listens to everything in his vicinity and picks up on the energy of whoever is around him, often laughing an ironic but wise laugh. They say we w...

III – Quotes by Socrates – The Virtues

Wise people speak of ideas, common people speak of things, and mediocre people speak of people. A lie never lives long enough to see old age. Who better knows the truth is more capable of lying. They are not only idle who do nothing, but they are idle also who might be better employed. If someone tells a lie about you, do the opposite so that he may go by as a liar. Worthless people love only to eat an...

Violence, Antidote for Boredom

The sensation that human beings have of being utterly bored with themselves is due to this predominance of the right body. The only thing left for human beings to do, in a universal sense, is to find ways of ridding themselves of boredom. What they end up doing is finding ways of killing time: the only commodity no one has enough of. But what’s worse is the reaction to this unbalanced distributio...
