Reflections : May & June 2009

Issue Description

From among the facts available to us (Debt is bad; Visual art rules; Yodeling makes the heads of aliens explode) the truth emerges, as a rule, only in hindsight. One minute out of every ten that we speed down life’s highway is spent looking in the rear view mirror, and symmetry, being the most beguiling of distortions, leaves us rapt, as Kubrick knew. Lacan believed the self to be forming only when mirrored back to itself, while the proprioceptively minded begged to differ, and we, at the end of the day, remain as we were: in a brown study.
