what the sferics told Mondaugen

[Paul Murphy]

OK, I'll re-start the discussion, essay question style:

What is the global or local significance of the mysterious message decoded
by K.Mondaugen in Suedwestafrika, while genocide and debauchery blossoms
about him, Mr. Mooneyes defined by the scopophilia decried by Augustine
(and quoted by TRP in his sloth essay, "Curiosity is concupiscence of the
eyes"):
namely, "DIE WELT IST ALLES, WAS DER FALL IST":
the world is everything that is the case;
L. Wittgenstein, _Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus_, thesis 1. (Which,
presumably, TRP studied at Cornell, seemingly enchanted by logical
positivism for a time).

Cheers,
Paul

         "The earth that has grown remote to itself is without
      the hope the stars once promised. It is sinking into empty
      galaxies. On it lies beauty as the reflection of past hope,
        which fills the dying eye until it is frozen below the
                     flakes of unbounded space"
             -T.W. Adorno, _Mahler: a Musical Physiognomy_
