Life is not what it seems

One’s life is not what it seems, nor is what we were taught since childhood. The idea of ​​living life is reduced to a life tracked by common sense. It is the own gravity that signifies history, its own significant weight, that tends to lead us down to the paths that oppress our body. An avatar of language, dense and shriveled, divides us and fragments us in its suspicion, dualizes us and dialectizes us in its question: it makes us think that we think, it makes us think that we live, while it only shows us its ideological slant. Such avatar is with no doubt a matrix that subjects us, an inertia with which we identify ourselves: it leads us to think out with great evidence, that life is circumscribed only to grow, to get married, to have children, to work and to die. The doxa: our false consciousness. Such avatar of language, while it reveals as an inherent goal to us and to our around, is an avatar of how we mean life, and also of what we make of it while we signify it. But it’s found far behind, it does not reach us: it becomes a prison that we carry from inside and that hampers us: it turns into a limit that lives in our flesh and individualizes us intimately in our tomb. We touch ourselves and do not feel us. We close our eyes and see nothing.

Singing microfascisms

Music: Jennifer Delfino
Video: Nick Fox-Gieg

I found this music video on YouTube that seems very useful to illustrate what is a microfascism. We start from the idea that a microfascism emerges when there is a blocked and repressed desire that is molarized through a codificated flow which investment is totalitarian. When that happens, the creative line of flight that involves  desire becomes a line of abolition or a line of death. In the video we have a girl who wants to be famous and whose subjectivity lies encysted in common sense. Continue reading

One`s life

In one`s life, a certain moment arrives when things are not what they seem. But it is not useful to know: at the end they have never been of one, either of nobody. It is inevitable the nostalgia for such lost innocence, even when we thought that things meant us, and when blinded by our own certainty of what is real, we give ourselves to the world: taking for granted the good conventional and arbitrary sense that allow us the perception of things. Mean things that do not exist, things with which we can not speak; in its absence, meaning existing subjects, speculators, chatters, unconscious and idiots. That old habit of meaning is behind the custom, which blinds and deceives: which distracts. Mean the excess on the use of the power of meaning things: the threat of common sense. Pale mirage of deceit from reality. Sublime ode of a major labeled artifice that cannot be seen or touched: the absurdity of the real, and the liar reign of things. Many are still handed to them, bandaged by the common sense, wilded to the real, and anchored without remedy. They deliver themselves to anything: to a television set or to a smiling blond doll. Their life is meant by a spoon or by a vacuum cleaner. An accurate and precise mathematical calculation or a neat and clean house means much more than their existence. Individuals delivered to what others might say and to the shielded prejudice of their own-little-morals. Continue reading
