anarchist miracle

[bandwraith at aol.com]

I was thinking that their respective "sand castles" are of the distinctively humanoid type of construction, and therefore, rather than credit them with revealing "eternal truths" beyond the ravages of Time, which might have been the tendency in the past, those constuctions reveal more about how relative even the most refined of our abstractions are. We are stuck in history- unique and contingent. Time is real and not completely generalizeable. Similarity not Identity rules the day. Otherwise, it's too easy to exclude the middle between two less than perfect premises. Or so it seems to me. Mavbe I lean towards Aristotle? Determined anarchy?

Your question of chicken/egg presupposes reaction. But which side is the rebel or the defender?  I think times make neither more than sand. Context is ultimately Time.
