Some Principles of Phenomenological Hermeneutics
1. We live in the world: in history, in concretion: we do not live any where else, and all meaning is only meaning in relation to particular, concrete, historical existence. (Copyright 1996 John Lye)
If i had been smarter i would have taken Philosophy. i am not sure if i mean smarter "intelligent" or smarter "more aware of the consequences of my choices and actions".
Or, if i had been smarter i would have surrounded myself with people who had taken Philosophy. By smarter i mean "more efficient, being able to get the most possible result out of the least possible work".
i'm not smarter.
i'm not smarter than the world: in history, concretion: in which i am living. By smarter i mean "able to illicit meaning in the context of any where else".
When do i know that i am experiencing the experience? This is the question that is supposed to be concerning me at the moment. Its the question she left with me, i am supposed to be musing on this. i don't understand the question. If i had been smarter i would have asked what the question meant, by smarter i mean "more humble".
i have watched Martha Stewart two days straight. If i had been smarter i would have made better use of the time. Martha Stewart made slime yesterday and a living Easter Basket the day before. Martha Stewart keeps saying "Wouldn't you love this?". People in the audience at Martha Stewart shout "Yeah!". i wouldn't like it - not the slime or the living Easter basket (with growing moss). Martha Stewart doesn't mention being in jail. In the Martha Stewart Cooking School they did poaching yesterday and braising the day before that. They were going to poach fruit i think yesterday because they had "done so much meat" lately. Poaching is totally submerging something in water and gentle cooking it. Kind of like a spa pool. Or when you get a lobster and put it in cold water and slowly raise the temperature so it doesn't know it's being cooked. Lobsters scream when you cook them. i think it is just their shells lifting up but they do make a whistling scratching kind of sound and if you raise the temperature too quickly they will try to escape out of the pot. When they do that they make a scratching kind of noise. Martha Stewart Cooking School poached fruit. Which doesn't scratch or scratch. It kind of just sits there and goes soft and warm.
There is probably a moral in there somewhere. Not sure where though.
While living in the world: in history, in concretion: and do not live anywhere else, what happens if someone lives in another world, like sentimentally, oh no hang on, that is easy, they are living in the world with a historical understanding of what it is to be a person in the world with a sentimental outlook of another world. Kind of like Happy Days. Happy Days is a 1970's 1950's. It isn't the 1950's 1950's. The Fonz isn't Marlon Brando. that's the important thing to take from this i think.
