Bring it on!

What is meant by metaphysical experience you will, of course, only gather more precisely from what I am about to explain in some detail. I will not be giving away a big secret – and will perhaps just provoke a laugh – if I tell you that, for me, there seems to be no possible treatment of the question of metaphysics other than the dialectical one.

very smooth Adorno

In a letter to Grzimek dated 23 April 1965, Adorno wrote: ‘Would it not be wonderful if Frankfurt Zoo could acquire a pair of wombats? I have fond memories of these friendly and cuddly animals from my childhood and would love to be able to see them again. … And may I also remind you of the existence of the babirusa, or the horned hog as I suppose it is called in English, which was also one of my favourite animals during my childhood; a delightfully bizarre little pachyderm. I hope it hasn't become extinct in the Malaysian archipelago? And lastly, what is the situation with the dwarf hippos that they used to have in Berlin? But I do not wish to bother you with too many questions.’

Everyone wants to critique zoos as products of 19thc colonial imperialist domination over nature until the wombat yearning hits

His ending is more conventional than Brecht's but still remarkable on its own terms. Miraculous & bitter all at once.

Pabst's Threepenny is delightful & full of great looks

I downloaded two different translations of Negative Dialectics and they are both bad. But then... trying to glean truth by contrasting two corrupt versions of it is very much in keeping with the spirit of the work...

Stanwyck is very sexy in The Lady Eve but the psychological shallowness of the film is hard to take in a genre that includes Bringing Up Baby (most truthful movie ever)

German driving practices, in contradistinction to those in the Anglo-Saxon as well as the Romance countries, surely belong to those national characteristics in which something of the spirit of Hitler’s Reich visibly survives: the contempt for human life.

Adorno was an early adopter of calling drivers Hitler

If I actually wanted to spend my time partying with young women, it would be trivial for me to do so without the help of a creepy loser like Epstein and I would still have 99% of my mind available to think about other things.

"I can be a pedophile all on my own" is not the flex he thinks it is.

Woodworking is probably the hobby with the highest ratio of beautiful aromas vs hideous sounds
