Thomas, And your point being..? My tautological argument was only a counter-statement to another tautological argument. If someone believes that a science of representations will be used primarily to sell products and manipulate I can point out how this process is already at work in everything we do, and it is. And what you're saying is true as well, since it's equally possible to say that nobody actually sells anyone anything. People see a billboard, which reminds them or helps them create the possibility of desire and they begin an operation which ends in a purchase. I can make the assumption that in fearing that other people will begin to see people more as machines nj sees people enough like machines to believe it is something to worry about. But for me, selling and buying are part of one process. How is it we equate guilt to selling and innocence to buying. Do we assume sellers make buyers buy? Is it congruent to be afraid that someone might sell me something I don't want, or that I'm somehow wiser than or superior to others who might be forced to buy things that they don't want? How does this happen? So yes, I agree with you and Nietzsche, and also the opposite as well. There are filters and there are no filters. There are things in the world and there things in our heads. And there are neither. best, JS |
