adding page because of this (adding différance page same time):
Explore meaning. Play with an adversarial arrangements of kenning to tap at analogy network. Listen to the echos.

différance
When can we talk about a “house” or a “mansion” or a “shed”? The same can be said about verbs, in all the languages in the world: when should we stop saying “walk” and start saying “run”? The same happens, of course, with adjectives:
when must we stop saying “yellow” and start saying “orange”,
or stop defining as “black” and start saying “white”, or “rich” and “poor”, “entrepreneur” and “worker”, “civilized” and “primitive”, “man” and “animal”, “beast” and “sovereign”, “christian” and “pagan”, or “beautiful” and start saying “ugly”, or “bad” and start saying “good”, or “truth” and start saying “false”, “determined” and “free”? Or “in” and “out”, “here” and “there”, “now” and “then”, “past” and “present” and “future” and “eternal”?

Thus, complete meaning is always “differential” and postponed in language; there is never a moment when meaning is complete and total.
and so.. shaw communication law.. lanier beyond words law.. et al
begs we become.. grokkers of what matters..
What this suggests to Stiegler is that grammatology—a logic of the grammè—must be supplemented with a history of grammatisation, a history of all the forms and techniques of inscription, from genetics to technics, each stage of which will be found to possess its own logic. Only in this way can différance be thought as the differing and deferral of life (life as the emergence of a difference from non-life, specifically as the deferral of entropy), and as the difference from physis through which the human must inevitably be defined (the human as the inauguration of another memory, neither the memory of genetics nor that of the individual, but rather a memory consisting in “inscription in the nonliving,” that is, technical memory).
makes me think of how much time we spend.. using words.. ie:
Instagram’s Privacy Policy: Rewritten, So Kids Can Understand It dlvr.it/N4Gm6N
and how bad that is for us ie: too much ness
entropy ness –
4 min – it’s like the universe has a witness protection program for its energy and we call that entropy…
thinking ps in the open ness.. no need for all the words.. policies.. because we’d be swimming in idiosyncratic jargon ness of approaching the limit of zero/infinity in meaning ness
so we spend our time listening deeper.. to what’s right now/here.. than explaining some universal defn of ie: a word/policy/whatever
maybe life could be less about meaning.. and more about living

we need a means to let go. of thinking we need to know.. that things/we have to have ‘meaning’ ness..
how we gather in a space is huge.. need to try spaces of permission where people have nothing to prove/define/etc to facil curiosity/itch over decision making.. because the finite set of choices of decision making (and defining ness) is unmooring us.. keeping us from us..
ie: imagine if we listen to the itch-in-8b-souls 1st thing everyday & use that data to connect us (tech as it could be.. ai as augmenting interconnectedness)
the thing we’ve not yet tried/seen: the unconditional part of left to own devices ness
[‘in an undisturbed ecosystem ..the individual left to its own devices.. serves the whole’ –dana meadows]
there’s a legit use of tech (nonjudgmental exponential labeling) to facil the seeming chaos of that global detox leap/dance
ie: whatever for a year.. no meaning/defining.. a legit sabbatical ish transition
otherwise we’ll keep perpetuating the same song.. the whac-a-mole-ing ness of sea world.. of not-us ness.. of part\ial ness.. perpetuating survival triage.. for (blank)’s sake..
