"What is so much gall in the service of?" Really, I don’t know.
Something I haven’t learned, or can’t, haunts me continually.
This reminds me of the gall put on display here from time time: "How dare you not understand and then agree with me!"
How Hindu. I don't think this is the case, actually.iambiguous wrote:[b]Bianco Luno
"You seem to want to side with oppressors against their victims?"
The best I can do, by way of explanation, is to note lamely that every oppressor was and will be again a victim,
If you mean those who hate because they are oppressed, bruno, then it might be best not to start by siding with their oppressors. This leaves a possibility they will listen. Chiding them that the oppressors have also suffered or that some cosmic balance is on the way in the future is likely not going to warm their cockles.hard as it is for the presently oppressed to consider.
What hater would listen to what I say?
Which is all of them.And what of those who oppress by calling it something else?
Which is nearly all of them. But most know, on some level, that they are not really coming forward with their deepest imprinting - women are manipulative cunts, or whatever.And what of those who believe [in all sincerity] it really is something else?

If you mean those who hate as oppressors, that is tough. They need to notice what they feel before they hate the oppressed, and given how those feelings will likely challenge their self-image, they are likely not going to want to go there.
I understood this, in general terms. I knew it was you quoting and reacting. I used his name in the post just to show I knew I was not responding to you.iambiguous wrote:
Just to clarify:
Bianco Luno is an alter ego used by Seattle philosopher Victor Munuz. The aphorisms above are taken from notebooks written in the 1990s. I came into contact with him through a letter exchange with Olivia, a friend of his.
I am merely quoting from the notebooks. This is not an actual exchange between us.
i actually went to that site and joined earlier. I haven't gone back and posted yet. I didn't find a place I wanted to jump in.It is just me reacting to what I construe to be a fellow ironist. And how he would react to that I cannot say.
If you wish to explore his thinking today [and in the manner in which philosophy is pursued academically] he can be found at the Seattle Analytic Philosophy Club. Here:
