- Summary:
- "People sometimes get irritated if you ask them the same question again, especially if it happens in the same conversation. Yet sometimes they provide different answers immediately, or let's say two minutes after the first (think of the Oracle in The Matrix, or Bill Clinton during his trial). However, when there are forty years in between two identical questions, there's a big chance of getting the same answer. This does not a priori mean that nothing has changed or that things have remained the same. The same answer could mirror a totally different fold of an arrival from the previous attempt. To illuminate this trajectory is an intellectual ride through a number of possibilities that otherwise might remain mutually exclusive: which is why an answer could be considered as a typical media type of event, while the route toward it is a terrain where things are always happening, but only occasionally "live." The fact that you one day might be studying Hegel is, of course, not as interesting as the path that brought you there: maybe it happened via Heidegger or perhaps via Spinoza (as you may land on 1970s disco via house music or ... maybe at Spinoza via disco). But let's face the fact that the ultimate choices and slips happened before the arrival. Therefore, each new entry point and route generates a new destination and a new arrival point. So the answer is never the same, even if it is the same sentence. Thus I would like to share several sentences from the "Letter to the Editor," written 2011..."-- provided by distributor.
