Man seeks to satisfy his desires with the least
exertion.
Spoken like a true 19th century
rationalist. But if that is the way you practice sexuality,
it would mean that your partner wouldn't take much away from
it. Considering your moving story of your life and
love, I can't imagine you finding the practical side to what you are
professing. Ritual process and the pleasure of repetition does
not seek to satisfy with the least but to get more. Perhaps it is the
vulgarity of what you say that is the problem. On might say
instead that one should pursue the desire only to completion instead of
pursuing it into excess. However political economy makes its
money on excess. The excess is called "profit."
But this is really an empty exercise in
semantics. Instead I would rather return to the issue of the
Science and aesthetics of communication where I was with
Brad. Do you Henry know anything about Information or Code
theory? Like Entropy, I can write about it but I'm not that
coherent. If need be, I will but I would rather someone who has a
lower complexity level than mine be the one who writes about it.
On the other hand, rather than
wish-full thinking you work from a premise of disire-full thinking, which
seems basic but not very adult. Indeed it almost seems sociopathic
and I'm sure that is NOT what you are talking about, are
you? With the statements about desire, it seems almost
obssessive if taken into the realm of human action and the desire to get it
for the least effort also seems like a form of cheating. (As in
sexuality) A form of cheating which is allowed, in capitalism, if it saves
energy which takes me again back to a sociopathology and maybe even into the
next level of a psychopathology. Sounds alot like the old
Broadway show "Clue" where the game eventually makes life meaningless except
in the theatrical artistry of Sir Lawrence. Underneathe
it all can we make a case for the followers of modern political economy being
lousy lovers since they try to get their satisfaction with the least
effort?

P.S. There is
another side to that old movie "Clue" which is never mentioned.
While the Brit was blaming the "Dagos" for all of the problems that he was
having, underneathe it all Michael Caine who played the Italian is really a
Gypsy, well known in the Romany community. So in the end
where he is satisfied in death does not play so well for me if he is Italian
however if the prejudice is against the Romany, I find that more believable
and Caine's willingness to "get" the Brit at all costs a parable for what
is happening today in the Middle East.
