"we see the things themselves, in their places, where they are,
according to their being which is indeed more than their being perceived,
at the same time we are separated from them by all the thickness of the look and of the body;
this distance is not the contrary of this proximity, it is deeply consonant with it,
the thickness of flesh between the seer and the thing is constitutive for the thing of it visibility,
it is not an obstacle between them,
it is their means of communication."
"the flesh is not matter, not mind, not substance.
To designate it, we need the old term "element", in the sense it was used to speak of water, air, earth, and fire, that is, in the sense of a general thing,
midway between the spatiotemporal individual and the idea,
a sort of incarnate principle that brings a style of being wherever there is a fragment of being.
The flesh is in this sense, an
"element" of being
not a fact, or a sum of facts, and yet adherent to location and to the now."

the lived body/the lifeworld.
"when we speak of
the flesh of the world
we mean that carnal being, a being of depths, a being in latency, a presentation
of a certain absence
is a prototype of Being, of which our body,
the sensible sentient is a very
remarkable variant,
whose constitutive paradox already lies in every visible,
a quality pregnant with a texture, the surface of a depth,
a cross section upon
a massive being,
a grain or corpuscle borne
by a wave of being."

dedicated to helping people end their lives and they allow foreigners to enter their country to legally kill themselves.
much criticism from lawmakers that the Swiss rules surrounding assisted suicide are full of legal loopholes.
Exit International, an assisted suicide organization said in a statement that a 64-year-old American woman with “severe immune compromise” died Monday near the German border in one of its devices."

🤣🤣🤣elon. so much for producing a winner.
math news.
new class of shape that characterizes forms commonly found in nature — from the chambers in the iconic spiral shell of the nautilus to the way in which seeds pack into plants.
the mathematical concept of ‘tiling’: how shapes tessellate on a surface.
the researchers deduced the principles of tilings with a new set of geometric building blocks that have rounded corners, which they term ‘soft cells’."
"the stage of training in the
application of the equality of existence and quiescence:
marks the beginning
of the unity of both the [application of] all aspects and the progressive meditation.
The sixteen conflicting views based on holding the two truths to be distinct are abandoned
and the meditation and post-meditation of the application of all aspects and the progressive cultivation become indivisible.
Wisdom and samādhi are evenly balanced.
the manifestation of instantaneous wisdom."
fascinating history and summary of the various schools of Buddhist logic and repudiation of such.

"The world is what we see,
nonetheless, we must learn to see it
say what we and what seeing are,
philosophy is not concerned with "word meanings," it does not seek a verbal substitute for the world we see
does not transform it into something said,
it does not install itself in the order of the said or of the written as does the logician in the proposition.
It is the things themselves, from the depths of their silence, that it wishes to bring to expression."

"how the spirit of the depths considers the soul:
as a living and self-existing being, and contradicts the spirit of this time, for whom the soul is
a thing dependent on man, which lets herself be judged and arranged, and whose circumference we can grasp.
what I had previously called my soul was not at all my soul,
but a dead system.
Hence I had to speak to my soul as to something far off and unknown, which did not exist through me,
but through whom I existed."
