> The books, the texts, read and discuss them.

  for some texts, and nietzsche's nachlassfragmente - which have been abused so 
  heavily by the nazis and others - surely belong to these, you need the right  
  edition to discuss them fruitfully. but i seriously doubt that you're really  
  interested in discussing nietzsche. or heidegger or rilke. or pynchon. you're 
  just interested in plundering these authors for your all to simple views. of 
  course, we all do this to some extend. but in your special case that's all 
  there is. "objective perspectives", eher einfach. and so it's not really 
  (- though still a bit) astonishing that you're not interested in the fact that 
  you, at least partly, have been fooled by an edition which is, in last 
  instance, still the product of right-wing manipulations. it's not just your 
  intellectual sluggishness, it's worse ...

  hegel writes in the "phenomenology of the spirit" that truth is not a coin    
  which you can simply put into your pocket.   

  that's it. i am not interested in discussing texts with you. anymore.
