Egocentrism spinning around egoism and vice-versa
the inner self spinning around the self of the community and vice versa
Multiple forms forming the self
Multiple forms forming the collective


We who are
your closest friends
feel the time
has come to tell you
that every Thursday
we have been meeting,
as a group,
to devise ways
to keep you
in perpetual uncertainty
frustration
discontent and
torture
by neither loving you
as much as you want
nor cutting you adrift.
Your analyst is
in on it,
plus your boyfriend
and your ex-husband;
and we have pledged
to disappoint you
as long as you need us.
In announcing our
association
we realize we have
placed in your hands
a possible antidote
against uncertainty
indeed against ourselves.
But since our Thursday nights
have brought us
to a community
of purpose
rare in itself
with you as
the natural center,
we feel hopeful you
will continue to make unreasonable
demands for affection
if not as a consequence
of your disastrous personality
then for the good of the collective




Hybridism in philosophy, think of Dan quoting Rpm


"Good! The "undefined fittest" they are defending is identical to
Dynamic Quality. Natural selection is Dynamic Quality at work. There
is no quarrel whatsoever between the Metaphysics of Quality and the
Darwinian Theory of Evolution. Neither is there a quarrel between the
Metaphysics of Quality and the "teleological" theories which insist
that life has some purpose. What the Metaphysics of Quality has done
is unite these opposed doctrines within a larger metaphysical
structure that accommodates both of them without contradiction." [LILA
Chapter 11]

Adrie

Hybrid forms...like the hybridisation in Yin/yang, the merging of radical
empiricism/pragmatism.
