fetishizing contradictions is not a dialectical procedure. it is salon
relativism.
the purpose of contradiction is that it is natural history's way of asking
you, subjective receptacle of cognition, to intervene--that is, to mediate.
And you can't reside in the mittel without doing the werke.
when little Ms. Lifeworld (who analyzes sheep-stool for Archer Daniels
Midland), decides she is taking part in a process which no longer demands
mediation, the ghost is given, thank you. Her stupidity--as everywhere, an
opposition which no longer includes its opposite within itself--still
proceeds dialectically, down into her like a hole. And the world becomes a
dialectic towards the end of dialectics: an object free of subjects.
then, all that is left are cat-food disturbances at the express-line.
