  1. Does knowledge by aquisition trump knowledge by acquaintance? The point being pointed to does not depend on Euclid’s definition of it having no parts; if the reason for its being means it cannot exist without dimensions, properties and dispositions. #Euclid #Acquisition #Acquaintance #Philosophy #ThePoint #DialecticPrinciple #Oppositions mathcs.clarku.edu/~djoyce/java

  6. we don’t know enough

    we don’t know enough 
    about emus to keep a safe

    people, it takes one dance or two 
    to get into the swing of things

  7. _Ethical responsibility_ 🧶

    Incest is settled by a perverse disconnect between words and deeds.
    According to Cécile Cée, ‘the situation does not depend on what the victim has to say about it, but on what society should say about it’ (p. 181). The act of naming is not:
    * the result of interpersonal negotiation (to what extent may I call incest what the victim does not designate as such?),
    * but rather a collective statement (‘It is up to society, to third parties, to you, to enunciate,’ p. 182), which alone can ‘put the world back the right way up’ (p. 227),
    * then we move away from individual conscience and into the realm of social and political ethical responsibility.

  12. CW: Incest silentiation 🧶

    ‘Each person is […] bound by different moral commitments towards the aggressor – depending on the position held and the relationship with one or the other’.

    ‘In the extended family, friendship and professional circles within which incest is reported, some, now adults, have obviously themselves been victims of abuse, others have been or still are abusers. In the vast majority of cases, these incestuous acts, whether suffered or imposed, have not been reported to the courts or made public. These incestuous acts are also known to others, who talk about them, have talked about them or will talk about them in the future. Circles of acquaintance and gossip intersect.’

  17. A quotation from Wilcox, Ella Wheeler:

    «
    The choicest garb, the sweetest grace,
    Are oft to strangers shown;
    The careless mien, the frowning face,
    Are given to our own.
    We flatter those we scarcely know,
    We please the fleeting guest,
    And deal full many a thoughtless blow
    To those who love us best.

  24. It was not an easy door to open.

    When she did, #boundless possibilities became, the threshold a #liminal space between #illusion and potential. Arctic desert morphed to #tundra upon new #sentiments that #burnt away the shackles.

    A pang of pain, an old #acquaintance, told her, it was not quite yet time to #celebrate.
