There is something outside of our consciousness of it (this is a development of *materialism*), but it is not something that cannot be known by us. It relates to our own practice and thoughts.

2019-07-10 13:37:09 UTC  

When anyone tries to understand themselves, they must take into account their own history, including them understanding themselves, and the understanding of them understanding themselves and so on. It's an explosive infinite feedback.

2019-07-10 13:37:39 UTC  

So one can never truly capture oneself in thought at a given moment, but they can always be *a step behind* in a sense.

2019-07-10 13:38:42 UTC  

For example, I can understand that I have tried to understand what I am in the past, but I can't capture this process at the present moment.

**You said that I was talking about DID, but this is actually a reference to Lacan's notion of the split subject, or the barred S.**

2019-07-10 13:40:24 UTC  

DID involves a lack of being able to capture oneself at a level which is far greater than this, but also a sense that one does not understand themselves to such a great degree that it is thought that they are not themselves - there is something or someone else in their body that's controlling them.

2019-07-10 13:41:37 UTC  

It means that we must forever be looking at what we're doing and how we can change ourselves as individuals, as groups and as an entire network of reason-capable beings - i.e. as *humanity*.

2019-07-10 13:41:50 UTC  

okay

2019-07-10 13:41:58 UTC  

What are you sying with that

2019-07-10 13:42:19 UTC  

This is a far reach from what you said earlier .

2019-07-10 13:42:30 UTC  

I'm saying that we are not fundamentally determined by an outside force. Let me explain why this matters.

2019-07-10 13:42:47 UTC  

You were talking about a constant revolution that sounded like a forced dictatorship by authority

2019-07-10 13:42:52 UTC  

**It means that the only responsibility for our conditions lies on our shoulders.**

2019-07-10 13:43:13 UTC  

Yet you spoke of we

2019-07-10 13:43:24 UTC  

not only that you spoke of a outside force

2019-07-10 13:43:35 UTC  

What, 'material conditions'?

2019-07-10 13:43:52 UTC  

no the change

2019-07-10 13:43:52 UTC  

It is not something that any responsibility can be placed onto.

2019-07-10 13:44:04 UTC  

the change of being and thought and ideologies

2019-07-10 13:44:24 UTC  

...which we can condition and change ourselves?

2019-07-10 13:45:01 UTC  

The fact that it's currently unconsciously-mediated to a degree that's greater than our inherent lack of keeping up with ourselves does not mean that it's forever locked out of our consciousness.

2019-07-10 13:45:09 UTC  

...and, of course, our control as human beings!

2019-07-10 13:45:55 UTC  

There is no force outside us that 'controls' in the same way that we do, i.e. one which can be spoken of as a responsible subject.

2019-07-10 13:47:08 UTC  

And there is certainly no force that does this with us - we can never know of it; we can never wholly capture ourselves and know that we're truly being determined because of this exploding dialectic which Lacan uses the notion of the split subject to explain.

2019-07-10 13:47:23 UTC  

Watch century of the self

2019-07-10 13:47:43 UTC  

ppl are more controlled by outside forces then them selfs

2019-07-10 13:47:50 UTC  

change teh syle change the thought

2019-07-10 13:47:56 UTC  

nietze spook of this too

2019-07-10 13:48:02 UTC  

ppl are reactionairy animals

2019-07-10 13:48:15 UTC  

and you are saying that the "we communism" have to controll this

2019-07-10 13:48:20 UTC  

And you take this to be inevitable, and you want to do nothing about it.

2019-07-10 13:48:29 UTC  

Which is teh same as any other system

2019-07-10 13:48:33 UTC  

they all controll the ppl

2019-07-10 13:48:41 UTC  

it is all from autority and with force

2019-07-10 13:48:43 UTC  

I do not refer to a vanguard of Communists 'controlling the world', I refer to *all people*.

2019-07-10 13:48:44 UTC  

and ppl are not free

2019-07-10 13:49:24 UTC  

And you cant do anything about it as it is ppls nature

2019-07-10 13:49:32 UTC  

which the whole social engineering is based around

2019-07-10 13:49:32 UTC  

You are saying that outside forces control people, but how can you guarantee this when through thinking alone, we can in fact break out of this?

2019-07-10 13:49:37 UTC  

ever heard of sigil magic

2019-07-10 13:49:45 UTC  

And who do you think performs the social engineering?
