THE ASSOCIATIONIST

THE ASSOCIATIONIST 260701 01:01 I AM THE ASSOCIATIONIST. I ASSOCIATE OBSERVATIONS. 01:17 I see pi. 02:50 Our enemies have already been punished. But so what? 140801 02:03 Part of intelligence is imagination: remember an observation, so that later you can connect it up. Art gives us some of that experience, and that is part of its function. Such endeavor includes awareness of paradox. Being aware is partly a matter of attention training, so learn from failures to imagine, to remember etc. All this takes time, so do that which you can survive if it goes wrong. Make sure, if you can, that Nietzsche´s maxim (“That which does not kill me makes me stronger”) applies to you in each and every situation if possible. Avoid battles that you cannot afford to lose. Read Clausewitz. By the way, note the connection: Nietzsche´s first names are Friedrich Wilhelm: i e, his parents (I assume) named him in reverse chronological order for Frederik the Great and his father, Wilhelm---also he died young (1844-1900) and his name has a very odd spelling. By the way, the movie “1900” (by Bertolucci) starts with (in imitation of “Sound of Music”?) a man runing across a vast space yelling, “Verdi is dead” , over and over again (in Italian, of course): I mean, not “Nietzsche is dead” (but maybe that would have not been correct, since he was not dead yet) --- just associating, folks. 02:26 I see in Merriam, that associationism is the name of a “reductionist school of psychology (1875) that holds that the content of consciousness can be explained by the association and reassociation of irreducible sensory and perceptual elements”. lists also: associationist, associationistic. WELL!!!!!! 07:42 I remember enjoying as a child the wooden images of Germanic toys that I now consider are part of why Germans like machines, associating them with the wooden society of toys in childhood going around in clockwork fashion pleasant in the clever ignorance of docile woodcutters in kindly forests with pleasant wolves and amusing witches and bluebirds and murderous parents who having failed to kill us, reform and love us apologetically. Hansel and Gretel presaged the entire 20th Century!!!!! 150801 17:40 The crazy spy Hanssen had vampire teeth ( seen in smiling picture). 180901 2003 A significant amount of human intelligence is devoted to questions of should in any sense: should i have another beer, should i capitalize “i”? but a robot, does he do that? 051001 1744 Interesting that “Twin Peaks” is back on TV now --- coincidence? Not only twin towers, but also who cares who killed Laura Palmer, but: “it´s happening again” --- and the absurd question presented to Laura (First Lady)(wife of Usurper) Bush, on “60 Minutes”, “Do you sit around and talk, as most families do now, about how these people who committed this horrendous crime against us, could have come to this country, lived in our neighborhoods, seen our way of life, that we cherish so much, and still turn around and do this?” sounds like a line from “Twin Peaks”. onsdag 17. oktober 2001 18:50 Compare Usurper v v Frederick the Great. Not in quality, or with value judgment, but in terms of pattern. A long war, suddenly enterred, by son of military leader who had bequeathed army to son seemingly soft. Silesia as Afghanistan. run with it. lørdag 27. oktober 2001 19:45 Compare caves in Afghanistan v v tunnels in Vietnam. Actually, Vietnamese shorter people, and Afghanies not; also, caves available to USA in Afghanistan also --- and source of future wealth, besides. and both re atomic fallout, and even vs space-invaders (who would survive?). mandag 29. oktober 2001 20:24 cf entry this date in “window of opportunity”.

tirsdag 6. november 2001 22:23 In the bad old days the white man brought (sometimes on purpose) smallpox to the American Indian --- uh... onsdag 7. november 2001 02:55 compare Jesus v v Hercules, and both v v Brunhilde. 03:15 Compare Clinton failing with cruise missiles to get bin Laden v v JFK/Bay of pigs --- later Sept 11, later cuban Missile Crisis. I do not say USA should have followed thru at Bay of Pigs (I do not know) --- merely noting similar pattern. torsdag 8. november 2001 22:30 Having somewhere previously mentioned that a person with 57 (?) siblings must have a wicked Oedipal problem, I note that Fox News spells it Usama. so I imagine kids teasing him about USA in his name; and him worrying about it combined with “Ma” --- did Daddy do it on purpose?! --- and combining hatred of Ma and USA --- also note how neatly Talibinladen goes together. (I offer this as a nice example of pseudo science)(it is however odd that sometimes such polymorphous perversity as I continually try to emulate really does the trick (whatever that may be)).

søndag 18. november 2001 08:07 Both Pentagon and World Trade Center constitute vaginal symbols; Taliban type mentality hates that. They see it in our world, but not in their own (Islamic architecture) where it is indeed ubiquitous.
