Approximations of certain talents fitting together with a selection of personal and professional goals is a more self-conscious and realistic attitude than all or nothing. Don't just bet without knowing all the games and all the possible moves you can make with what cards you hold. It is an entrepreneurial task, or it's vanity - be industrious.

I don't know the context he said this in, so I can't speak to his specific logic, but I'd say that the legitimacy of the state is an inevitable construction. The conditions under which one government is removed and another gains power are implicit in the decisions and formations of mass groups. I don't know what De Maistre thought, but I'd assume we weren't on the same page, yet our sentiments are simular.

I hear you, it's just that he's new to me and that quote in the picture is exactly the type of sentiment on my mind. Maybe the quotes are too generalising, but I bet in context that doesn't seem strange. He writing, like McLuhan, might sweep wipe and say too much and nothing at the same time, but it's worth reading, even if you disagree.

Again, I don't know the context. I'll see if I can skim the work and find out what he's talking about, but it does sound absurd if you don't actually look at what else he is saying. >>11149727
BM is coming for me, can't wait. Gonna be a good summer read. Got my Hobbes, got my Kant, got some of this fellow. And got all kinds of weird and fantastic works, plus a few religious diaries and a work on memory. Going to be a fun summer.

Breasts. Like fortunes cast and in need of reading. Breasts anew dropping unwrapped spilling out uncovered bared naked, breasts, beautiful awe fulfilling. Breasts.

Shots fired. Man breakdancing and crawling comes down the street with a panic and then laughing jibber, begging and hooing, angry and guilty. More for his kin and castle.

Helping protestants enjoy life has got to be the most depressing job in the world. Luckily there is alcohol and drugs and poetry on nature.
