#t0640 All kinds of signs are symbol. However they are not sign in the usual sense, namely the dualistic contradiction sensationalized as enlightened paradox or woke farce, the real and imaginary, or physical and metaphysical, or earthly and heavenly phenomenon/noumenon. They are nomenon. The three varieties of nomenon are icon-symbol, index-symbol and symbol-symbol. Icon-symbol, index-symbol and symbol-symbol are word. Everything is word. That word then is everything (awesome or awful) is the absolute non-sequitur (the comic literary device or the formal fallacy root to all fallacy) “existence.”
#t0657 Dressed up and made up in how and why it is “The doctrine of the association of ideas is, to my thinking, the finest piece of philosophical work of the prescientific ages. Yet I can but pronounce English sensationalism to be entirely destitute of any solid bottom.” Charles S. Peirce, Collected Peirce 1.5 ~1890 Association of ideas as a mental or psychological process, one that exists, i.e., in terms of that, how and why it is,* is sheer sensationalism. It is the dichotomous swoon-and-bullshit (awe at and about) that dominates informal and formal logic riddled with and steeped in informal and formal fallacy *What it is, vs. that, how and why it is. That, how and why something is, are the error, “existence,” which is exactly not what something is (word), but is the error “nothing” (utter, utter nonsense) whose euphemism is nothingness or uncertainty, which, once settled, for its absolute error is holy paradox. Thus “nothing” is solemn sensationally ritualistic mindlessness as enlightened mindfulness (East) or woke synthesis (West) dressed up and made up in the rhetorical chaos and order of political snot and tears. |
