The essence of meaning is to be in the world as human. It is not to capture (begreifen) or grab the world. The meaning unfolds in the world. It is a feeling of knowing (zu kennen) as a creative expressiv being. Part of this creativity is to feel the essence of the world. This proves itself by what human care about, when we chooses the essential from what is not worth preserving.

Funeisme and big data
Funeisme is the scientific quest of turning the black box white. To reveal everything about the human life by endless descriptions of what is. We have accepted a theory of knowledge that is no longer interested in the essences, but in the informational complexety. Big data is the new oil, but Ireneo Funes died young. This scientific dead end is alien to all earlier thoughts and will expand in all directions. A superficial absolutism without separating the meaningful from the meaningless.
Truth and Mystery
Truth is about what is firm and essential on earth. What is unchangeable is the mystery of the earth. The truth is part of the mystery, or; the mystery is part of the revelation of eternal truth. For instance, the revelation of Pythagorean theorem. By turning the truth away from the firm and essential, we have turned the truth against the mystery of the earth.
The scientific understandig of truth removes the phenomenon from the mystery of the earth, away from revelation and the eternal. The truth is left to describe the changing earth, expressed as probabilities. It is this kind of truth Cioran calls boaring.
Of all times, human as expressed a lot of belives, but not many truths. As more we express, the more infrequent the truth may apear.
Theory is not Alchemy
Jørn Bjerre skriver: ”Denne uddannelsesalkymistiske tanke – at udvikling handler om at smelte teori om til praksis – er igennem hele læreruddannelsens historie blevet brugt til at sætte nytænkning i stå.”
The idea that practice is to do what we in theory is thinking, is an obstacle against new ideas and action. Theory is not alchemy. Theory can not turn lead into gold, bring human into paradise, make human immortal, or turn practice into a unchangeable existence.
The essence of indifference
the essence of indifference is self-deprivation expressed as altruism. A way to survive by denying the being and how the surroundings influence on you. The indifferent human has only existed in thoughts, not on the Earth.
The emancipation of cultural chains
Existential essentialism is an approach to emancipate from our cultural chains.
What is this emancipation?
Plato called it to know your self as an exercise on dying
Kierkegaard splits it into different stages of life.
First the awareness of your own existence,
later the quest of subjectiv truth,
then the anxithy of being,
and at the end,
the metaphysical or teological leap
Between recognition and influence
The quest of influence outmaneuvers the motion of recognition. Human put aside the need of recognition from other, to have the possibility to influence on others. To rule, to be the reinforcer of other mans action and feelings are a human impetus. Even smal children do not accept the feeling of being ruled by others. Skinner did not read Kojève.
The phenomenon of freedom
Free will is not a question of rational determination of our action, but the will to choose our self as being.
Life is
‘Life is not a problem to be mastered or maybe solved
Life is something beautiful to be tempted and evolved
Life is digging ditches while the rain pours slowly down,
or staying in the flow, from your laughter at a clown
Life’s enjoying food while the autumn storms sets in,
or sitting close to fire, the warm sensation on your skin
Life is not to be hunted like a 100 inches deer
to transform it all with words about benefit so clear,
but taken calmly care of, like a drawer with his coal
like these precious little words is soothing for your soul
That’s the way it is,
Nothing more to say
Then you keep your emotions
as the engine of your brain
Human
I would love to know you naked
Slumber my eyes on you
Contemplating on natures work
Firmly form my finger to your flesh
But then
We would just fuck it up
By doing something human
