tyranny of clarity

intro’d via jeffrey j kripal 1 hr video at 1:01 –

the tyranny of clarity’ a critique of the enlightenment.. argues.. whatever life is it’s not clear and if you make it clear you’re clearly not talking about whatever life is.. the idea that we can make sense of things is itself a kind of tyranny and a mistake..t

naming the colour ness.. the death of us.. marsh label law.. graeber unpredictability/surprise law.. et al

intellectness as cancerous distraction we can’t seem to let go of.. there’s a legit use of tech (nonjudgmental expo labeling).. to facil a legit global detox leap.. for (blank)’s sake.. and we’re missing it

1:02 – years ago i would say .. if we just think about it long enough we’ll figure it out.. and now i’m like.. no.. that’s not going to happen.. the more someone tells me their story.. the less sense it makes.. and i know when they’re telling me for the story for the first time they’re only telling me the parts that are presentable and make some sense.. and if they tell me more.. it gets stranger.. it never clarifies.. always becomes stranger
