Paradox Equivocation, The Secret Combustion Of The Engine
Evil Clowns Are Not Insurgents
How can anything originate out of its opposite? Truth from error, the will to truth from deception, generosity out of selfishness or democracy and decency from war, invasion, devastation, piracy and chaos?
There are those clowns that say such an intelligent design is impossible; whoever dreams about it is a fool or worse… Do not base such notions in our transitory, seductive, illusory, paltry world, in such turmoil there is delusion and cupidity.
But rather than being in touch with a reality that anyone can share, in the intransitory, in the ‘Thing-in-itself’ (I. Kant) this parody of reason is the prejudice by which politicians can be recognized.
This mode of valuation reveals a lack of logical procedure, through this marketing of belief they exert themselves for something they have solemnly christened the Truth. Is Belief the Antithesis of Truth or Values?
In spite of the value that belongs to the true, the positive, and the unselfish, is it possible that a higher and more fundamental value for life generally should be assigned to pretence, to the will to delusion, to selfishness, and cupidity?
Is it possible that what constitutes the value of those good and respected things, consists precisely in their being insidiously related, knotted, and crocheted to these evil and apparently opposed things? Perhaps even in being essentially identical with them?
Who cares about perhaps?
What is needed is the advent of a new order of clown for that exposition. Perhaps with other tastes and inclinations, the reverse of those hitherto prevalent? Perhaps, 'clowns of the dangerous', perhaps in Every sense of the term.
And to speak, in all seriousness, I do not see such new clowns beginning to appear.
