“[H]as anyone ever stopped grieving by devastating another’s life? What is the fantasy, the conceit, at work in such an act?” -Judith Butler
The social housing act #AB2881 just passed Asm Housing Committee! Not every member can see Singapore for themselves so I brought a bit of Singapore to them Big thanks to @alfred_twu for the model
@RichDecibels I prefer to think about this without the implication that our becomings are separate. What could we become together, what potentialities does this unlock, what freshly becomes possible, what territories does this open?
“The I think, I am, is, since Descartes, the basic mistake of all knowledge; thinking is not my thinking, and being is not my being, for everything is only of God or the totality.” -Schelling (SW I/7, p. 148)
