A text to appear slowly which, if I find the time to return to it, will be heavily corrected.

It is clear that society has no room for these thoughts.
Tasks surround us all, leaving no prisoner.
Some task involve survival and kindness, and may be more urgent than others.
BUT there is one “super-task,” ignored by all: asking what do I do?
Désœuvré is the French pejorative term for someone who has nothing to do, yet it is specifically there that “something” may be found.

I call it something for the sake of expediency but its name is closer to “.(point)” – I will return to this later.
So, something which is scary because, like an elephant in the room, nobody addresses, and thus, without a language, has no road-map to engage with it.

To guide me in writing this, I would like to outline some key points:

  • Unlike the common concept of nihilism which implies negation, this is a form of affirmative realism.
  • We are nobodies – as Debord and Jodorowski have pointed out – the identities we assume have nothing to do with reality.
  • Besides sciences which can provide us means of surviving, most of the concepts we are involved in betray a lack of foundation.
    It should be obvious here that I am trying to go beyond small talk.
  • Even though this page is full of words, these do not constitute arguments, ready to be debated. What is described here corresponds to an experience – and off-limit to some kind of remote discussion.
  • Most survival modes carry with them a knowledge that goes beyond language. The arts have tried to approach it but, at this point, I refuse those approximations.
  • Affirmation starts with negation (emerging from “being a vegetable” involved the strongest refusal – shouting “no!” to the nurse pushing one more time a tube down my throat.)
