"Lips not on lips, but on each other's wounds
Must suck the envenomed bodies of the loved
And through the tideless blood draw nourishment
To feed the love that feeds upon their deaths..." ??‍♀️??‍♂️

Philosophy of Care | Boris Groys
post image
Pickpick

Although I've jokingly described this as dull, I did find it interesting, even if I couldn't always follow the development of Groys's argument, what with him being an academic philosopher & me not. His survey of the philosophical concept of care seemed wide ranging, & at times I had to remind myself he was recapping rather than asserting a position. I feel confirmed in my impression that Nietzsche was an arsehole, though I'm uncertain if 👇

Bookwomble ... that's Groys's own opinion.
The end could have benefited, I think, from a summing up & stating of Groys's own view, though I suppose that as a review he felt that unnecessary. I guess somebody more knowledgeable than myself would understand his position from the selections of material he presented.
The end did, however, put me in mind of Bowie's song The Supermen, about the existential despair of immortal beings. #SpuriousBowieReference
