“Paper is to write things down that we need to remember. Our brains are used to think.”*…
Henrik Karlsson argues that it can be more symbiotic than that…
Every few months I will read a tweet, or have a conversation, that makes me feel this is important, I must remember this. Often, these epiphanies are accompanied by a sense that I actually know this already, it had just somehow slipped my mind.
And for a few days, I do remember: my life shimmers with a new intensity, and I live the truth of what I grasped. But then, inevitably, the conveyor belt of things to pay attention to keeps churning, and my mind gets filled with small problems I need to solve, or new epiphanies or random noise, like news, and the shining fades from my eyes—I regress to being the same person as ever.
The Latin word for the tendency to lose track of what matters in the cacophony of things that attract our attention is stultitia. “Stultitia,” writes Michel Foucault in “Self-writing,”
is defined by mental agitation, distraction, change of opinions and wishes, and consequently weakness in the face of all the events that may occur; it is also characterized by the fact that it turns the mind toward the future, makes it interested in novel ideas, and prevents it from providing a fixed point for itself in the possession of acquired truth.
You can’t just read a blog post about high agency, get filled with a sense of possibility, and become, from then on, an agentic person. As John Gray puts it in his monograph on J.S. Mill, our character is “a cluster of habitual willings.” For changes to our behavior to become permanent, we must become different people.
In the same way that it is not enough to make a resolution that you will learn the piano, it is not enough to realize that when the kids act out, you shouldn’t lose your temper but slow down, listen, and regulate their nervous systems with the help of yours. Imagine how good a person I would be if having insights were enough! But reacting to the frustrations of your children with calm and curiosity is a skill as much as playing the piano is—and as with the piano, the act of learning it requires rewiring your nervous system through sustained attention and practice. Realizing the value of acting in a certain way might give you a temporary motivation to do it. But in order to actually live in accordance with what you believe in long-term, you must make it a habit.
And this is much harder than making a habit out of playing the piano. When you’re trying to make something like piano practice a habit, the standard advice is to chain it onto some already existing habit—to practice immediately after you brush your teeth in the morning, for example, or after you change out of your work clothes in the afternoon. Chaining the new habit to an already existing one provides a predictable trigger that helps remind you to practice. But the habits that make up our characters often do not follow a predictable schedule like this. I never know, for instance, when our children will act out (except that it will usually be when I’m least capable of handling it with grace—whenever both they and I are unusually hungry and tired). The conflicts seem to come out of nowhere, so I have to, somehow, always be ready to act in the proper way. I need to have the right reaction “ready at hand” (procheiron), as the Greek-philosopher-Roman-slave Epictetus put it. If Johanna and I talked about how we want to deal with the kids’ conflicts the night before, I will nearly always handle the situation well. The problem is to keep it top of mind.
During the first two centuries of the Roman Empire, there spread a practice known as hypomnēmata, a type of notetaking system, used as a tool for meditation, in which the writer would store quotes from books they had read. Each day, often in the morning, the notetaker would open their notebook and look for a passage relevant to something they were struggling with, and then they would meditate on that—unpacking it, making the idea top of mind, ensuring it was alive in them. If they needed courage, for instance, they could meditate on an anecdote that made it real for them what it meant to act bravely. The idea was that over time, the insights they gathered by reading would be transformed into character, something deeply ingrained in their way of thinking and seeing and acting.
This was, as I understand it, an exercise designed to combat the problem I outlined above. Meditating on what matters is a simple habit, which you can chain onto your morning routine, but it reinforces the habits you can’t plan, the habits that make up your character. It was, in the words of the French classicist Pierre Hadot, a spiritual exercise—an exercise because it required work and discipline, spiritual because it engaged the whole person, not just their intellect, but their emotions and their moral character. It was an attempt to treat the formation of character as a skilled practice, as something you can deliberately train and improve through targeted exercises…
…
… I have often noticed that my experience of reality improves if I write and think about something.
But it strikes me now that the practice Foucault wrote about was probably more transformative than what I’ve ended up doing. Essay writing is incredibly time-consuming, and a lot of that time is spent on things that aren’t self-transforming: I spend less time reshaping my mind than I spend solving literary-technical problems that help me write more functional and beautiful essays, for the joy of the craft and for the benefit of readers. Another limitation of my practice is that when an essay is done, I move on. The ideas—though they have been much deepened and more firmly lodged in my mind—fall out of attention and start to fade.
There is an element of self-deception involved here. I like to write essays, so it is comforting to think of it as a powerful practice, something that helps me live more fully and grow as a person. But if I look at it soberly, it is clear to me that essay writing is not a practice that is ideal for the purpose of ethopoiesis.6 It is common to think that what we do achieves what we want it to achieve, even if there is no evidence for it. There are many practices that promise to transform and improve us—therapy, meditation, psychedelics—, but that branding doesn’t mean that they actually do much for us: it is common to see people use these techniques for years without any obvious progress on their problems. If you want to achieve a particular outcome, it is important to start from that goal and evaluate which practices actually help you.
The most important ideas we need to return to weekly, even daily. Essay-writing, then, is not a functional substitute for having a practice that keeps the important truths top of mind, day after day. But it did help me reach that conclusion…

As we contemplate contemplation, we might that it was on this date in 1949 that the first science fiction series debuted on American television, the DuMont Network’s Captain Video and His Video Rangers. Written by such luminaries as Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, James Blish, and Jack Vance, it was– even in its time, when early television productions often were thrown-together affairs– considered crude, owing much to the fact that the daily show was done live on a meager budget. Indeed, the actors were paid so little they actually made more money from appearing in character at supermarket openings, county fairs, and the like than they did from their salaries.
Still, it ran for a total of 1,537 episodes, and quickly spawned competitive sci-fi offerings like Tom Corbet, Space Cadet and Space Patrol.

Even if I consider #LeviStrauss to be the only structuralist & many others would consider #Foucault, #Lacan and #Barthes post-structuralists, we can maybe all agree on the fact that how Henry has portrayed the four men here (in 1967) is brilliant and captures their characters very well #anthropology

It’s not enough that just one person is an idiot
..the whole system must be idiotic. Bourgeois ideology is obsessed with the strongman, for better or for worse. If Hitler had been thrown out of the window in 1925, there would have been no German fascism. As daft as that sounds, it’s also a widespread belief, mainly because of that Jesus story.
Historical materialism, and even more so Foucault’s structuralism, show that social conditions lead to outcomes. This can be accelerated by charismatic figures, but never triggered. Similarly, the current decline of Western hegemony is in no way attributable to Trump. Nor has it ever been. And sometimes I believe that Trump knows this. That he is, by design, the angel of the Apocalypse. Like the Judas of the Gospel of Judas, who sacrifices himself to fulfil the prophecy. He wouldn't be the first to see nihilism as the way out.https://word.undead-network.de/2026/04/14/es-reicht-ja-nicht-wenn-einer-idiotisch-ist/

Whom do you serve? This is the question of the Grail in the Fisher King.
This is part 12 of 13 dialogues with Claude about the parable of the Two Valleys.
In the mid-90's, I spent years reading the complete works of Carl Jung, studying Archetypal and Depth Psychology.

While #Foucault may be open to political attack, he remains a sound defense of #Nietzsche 's genealogical thought, anti-metaphysical and uncontained within an ontology, and he posits an interesting definition of truth as the result of the power struggle. In this regard, he intertwines epistemology and ontology with the theory of knowledge and power. His critique of disciplinary institutions is accessible and resonates with the thinking of #Althusser the heir to Marxism, and #Illich ( systemic).

New on Philosophics: The Film or the Strip — Freud knew the 'normal ego' was a fiction; Strawson simply refused to pretend otherwise. Some live the film, others the strip. The projector hums either way.

Lubimy rozwiązania zapewniające prywatność i bezpieczeństwo danych ponieważ jesteśmy odpowiedzialni i chronimy nasze granice, zatem lubimy także komunikator #Signal za jego kod #OpenSource, minimalizację przetwarzanych metadanych oraz #szyfrowanie end-to-end.
Tymczasem #Bruksela dąży do masowej inwigilacji wszystkich obywateli #UE odbierającej prawo do poufnej komunikacji, przyjmując styl #Orwell #rok1984. Wszystkie wiadomości i załączniki, jeszcze zanim zostaną zaszyfrowane, miałyby być skanowane pod kątem treści odnoszącej się do pornografii dziecięcej i nadużyć seksualnych wobec dzieci, a wzorcem miałaby być rządowa baza danych lub #AI. Zack #Whittaker: taki #backdoor stałby się wektorem możliwego ataku na inne części systemu. Wiodącym zwolennikiem kontroli jest #Dania. Prezes Fundacji Signal zadeklarował, że jeśli rozporządzenie zostanie przyjęte, komunikator opuści UE.
Odnosząc się do systemu wartości Europejczyków można próbować wszelkich form cenzury, kontroli, nadzoru i represji uzasadniając to ekologią, bezpieczeństwem, nadużyciami finansowymi, ochroną praw mniejszości, altruizmem czy dobrem dzieci, co może być uznane za nadużycie autorytetu moralnego i „pełzające ograniczenie wolności”. #Foucault: nowoczesna władza to nie przemoc lecz nadzór i autodyscyplina jednostek. https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:52022PC0209
