I wonder if the war on terror is the death of terror turned outward ?
Been studying Saussures deiificatiin of language at college , the big push toward structuralism and its bastard step child , post structuralism , the move away from the classical model of platonic ideals and language as a metaphysical medium . Got me thinking that a dark wizard might be someone who tejects wholeheartedly either of those models , wheras the liminalist strives to walk the line of the razors edge between them . Listening to you two discuss values or lack therof got me really thinking .
Sorry i meant to say the war on terror may be the terror of death turned outwards .
In Simone DeBeauvoirs ” all men are mortal”, the protagonist finds immortality to be a curse that causes time to stop , and he spends his days curled in the foetal position avoiding all human contact .
Really thought provoking podcast. Thank you both for your time, passion and contributions…
