By Maxim Zhestkov: Usually things can be made slightly better, a few percent at a time. But some challenges require something a hundred times better. In those cases polishing is not enough. You have to hack the system, rethink its foundation and search for a completely new logic. Linear reasoning leads to small steps while true breakthroughs happen when you change the frame. TRIZ, the theory of inventive problem solving, begins with imagining the perfect system and then works backward to make it real. Seeing problems from new angles opens paths that did not exist before. Only hacks, those radical shifts in logic, can solve truly serious problems. But to do that you first need to see them differently, through new framings and unexpected perspectives. This is what TRIZ makes possible: it defines the ideal version of a system and then challenges you to make it real.

What I'm saying.
A screenshot of a twitter post by Jesse Brenneman: My theory is that all the data centers being forced on us aren't for future public demand, they're for current military/govt demand-that Al is the backbone of the new surveillance state but they can't say that so they pretend it's because people love making videos of Pikachu.

But the female body is not the problem here. It is the guilt and anguish derived from this symbolic attack against the mother that entraps the daughter's development. Hoping to master her rage, anxiety, and sense of loss at separating from the mother by directing these feelings toward her own female flesh, the woman coming of age today involves herself in an intensifted act of self-destruction at the very moment she is seeking to evolve a new sense of self. This is the tragic paradox the new woman must resolve.

"…within largest cultural context which allows us to rage because of how terribly we've been mothered but including in this rage our mothers as daughters with their own despair. Then we shall liberate an anger that indicts not the mothers but a social system that has never ceased to suppress women."
Thus, a woman of any age becomes a modern mother, a woman in serious if hidden crisis, when she cannot efface and sacrifice and live through her children. But the same woman, at any age, becomes a daughter with an eating disorder the moment she steps out to seek her own development and must pause to brood upon her mother's life. An eating disorder can be resolved only within this largest cultural context, which allows us to rage because of how terribly we have been mothered but including now in this rage our mothers as daughters with a right to their own despair. Then we shall have liberated an anger that indicts not the mothers but a social system that has never ceased to suppress women. And we shall be able finally to set free from the tangled knot of self-destruction and obsession the radical and healing knowledge that an eating disorder is a profoundly political act. I am describing generations of women who suffer guilt: women who cannot mother their daughters because their legitimate dreams and ambitions have not been recognized; mothers who know they have failed and cannot forgive themselves for their failure; daughters who blame themselves for needing more than the mother was able to provide, who saw and experienced the full extent of the older woman's crisis, who cannot let themselves feel rage at their mother because they know how much she needs them to forgive her.

On the wrath against the mother [parent], the denial of the self and the destruction of the body. May, one day, the understanding of the psyche and its interconnected systems help you see the whole.

"Who, then, is there to blame?" — Kim Chernin
A daughter faces the issue of surpassing the mother when the older woman is no longer able to accept her oppression as inevitable or to efface herself as a persona and to live vicariously through her child. For then the daughter, if she seeks her own development, faces two intolerable possibilities. Suddenly, in coming of age and entering the world, she is in danger of calling up the older woman's envy and resentment. And even worse, more painful and disturbing to consider, she is now in a position to remind her mother of her own failure and lack. Who, then, is there to blame? The wounded mother, who was once a daughter? The angry daughter, who may one day, as a mother herself, become the target of her own daughter's reproach? We must progress beyond this tendency to blame the mothers. And we must at the same time become conscious of our anger and frustration, the sense of abandonment we have all known at times, daughters of women in crisis like ourselves. And then, having lived through the shock of acknowledging our rage at the mother, we must learn how to place it in a social context, taking the personal mother out of the home and setting her in that precise historic moment in which she gave birth to a child.

Nagende Zweifel, mit der stetigen Erwartung auf Ablehnung zu treffen ist allgegenwärtig; Scham, ihre fragmentierte Psyche zu offenbaren, die ihnen im Vergleich zu anderen so unvollständig erscheint, ein Kernelement. Das verkümmerte Selbst, ewig hungernd nach mehr. Ein endloser Abgrund, gefüllt mit allem außer Substanz — die Essenz des Seins, ertränkt am Boden.

Missgunst, endlose Vergleiche von Moralvorstellungen, Kompetenzen und Werten - geteilt in Diversitäten, die in Wahrheit einem fundamental gleichen Prinzip folgen. In diesem selbst gewählten Zerfall fällt es leicht die durch Verwirrung zerstobenen Fragmente zu lenken. Gleich einem Meer aus Trümmern, mit Treibgut auf hoher See, das ausgesetzt den mächtigen Wellen des Meeres, dankbar jeden implizierten Richtungswechsel durch eine äußere Kraft annimmt. Die perfekte Hingabe zur Konformität.

"We long for the mind because it is unknowable. The body can be mapped, claimed, exhausted. The mind is infinite."
some of us are wired this way-unable to separate attraction from perception, from conversation, from the way a single phrase can send a shiver down the spine in a way touch never could. to be known in this way-to be undressed, not in body, but in mind-is the kind of intimacy that lingers far longer than touch. and maybe this is the great paradox of intellectual seduction: we long for the mind because it is unknowable. the body can be mapped, claimed, exhausted. the mind is infinite.

The individual loses his quilt and exchanges it for infantile innocence; once more he can blame the wicked father for this and the unloving mother for that, and all the time he is caught in this inescapable causal nexus like a fly in a spider's web, without noticing that he has lost his moral freedom. But no matter how much parents and grandparents may have sinned against the child, the man who is really adult will accept these sins as his own condition which has to be reckoned with. Only a fool is interested in other people's guilt, since he cannot alter it. The wise man learns only from his own guilt. He will ask himself: Who am I that all this should happen to me? To find the answer to this fateful question he will look into his own heart. C. G. Jung, Collected Works, vol. 12, par. 152

C. S. Lewis
Those of us who have been true readers all our life seldom fully realise the enormous extension of our being which we owe to authors. We realise it best when we talk with an unliterary friend. He may be full of goodness and good sense but he inhabits a tiny world. In it, we should be suffocated. The man who is contented to be only himself, and therefore less a self, is in prison. My own eyes are not enough for me, I will see through those of others. Reality, even seen through the eyes of many, is not enough. I will see what others have invented.

Gloomy atmosphere. A bordeaux colored book, titled "Eros und Gewalt" (Eros and Violence) by Hendrik Goltzius, on a black table. Next to it, a deer skull with antlers and a tea light that creates a playful candle light pattern.

Like a spitting image, exactly how he asserts focus on the here and now. The same tone, the same stare, the same intensity behind his words. A force that collapses everything to zero. Time. Alignment. Identity. Who is he? Who am I?

"In God, pneuma and soma are one." — Carl Jung, Aion
"I would like, in conclusion, to mention the peculiar theory of world creation in the Clementine Homilies. In God, pneuma and soma are one. When they separate, pneuma appears as the Son and "archon of the future Aeon,"' but soma, actual substance or matter, divides into four, corresponding to the four elements (which were always solemnly invoked at initiations) From the mixing of the four parts there arose the devil, the "archon of this Aeon," and the psyche of this world. Soma had become psychized: "God rules this world as much through the devil as through the Son, for both are in his hands." "God unfolds himself in the world in the form of syzygies (paired opposites), such as heaven/earth, day/night, male/female, etc. The last term of the first series is the Adam/ Eve syzygy. At the end of this fragmentation process there follows the return to the beginning, the consummation of the universe through purification and annihilation."
