Generally, I'm fairly unaffected by seminar readings. I enjoy them perhaps, or find them boring, and enjoy the discussions that they engender, but I leave seminar feeling rather distant. Not last night.

Pascal fucked with me. He has so many observations that seem very astute and very right, but I refuse to believe that we are as wretched as he claims. I got angry about it.

I also figured out what I'm going to do with myself.

I'm going to build instruments, teach classes on basic acoustics and woodworking and music theory - nothing in depth, just trying to get people to do things. I'll get an arts grant from a city and establish an experimental orchestra. I'll sell pretty instruments in art galleries.

I think I had a similar experience with Pascal as you. (Mr. Braithwaite called me a -- what's the phrase Pascal uses? -- arrogant philosopher?)

Hilariously enough, I'm starting to go through a sort of weirdly parallel experience with Heidegger. You can take your angst and anxiety and shove it, mister. ;)
