a scandal wrote the concrete smoke up and down the wall I turn my head before I’m dead and spoke against the law one last word until I’m heard I dare you call a draw you haven’t lived until you give a brick without a straw
As a child I hunted for sickness. Eat food off the ground, lick the door handle, stick my fingers in my baby brother’s sick mouth. To be infected by what was out there, waiting to choose me. Now a pain, even fear. But some delight in being pushed down by a body much too light.
Authoriality and authorization are the same for the child. For the adult who has forgotten childhood, they could not be more separated. The first play, the second business. One sees how perverse reunion can be. But the child authors the law the adult occupies, that‘s his duty.
Kill the child in you. Means become a child. Remember thinking for the first time. No one wants to kill a child like a child. Monsters really do so on the excuse of collateral damage. But nothing is collateral for a child, everything is available, only your immaturity blocks it.
The marcionite church was a group of ascetic scribes (sound familiar?). Intent on executing the end of the world. Celibacy, against the law, married to God alone. Marcion even provided a reason to extend time: a big difference between the end of the present and the new aeon.
When Marcion opposes love to the law, he does so after recognizing the Jewish militants tear things apart on the basis of a conviction that the wrong law is in place. Marcion says, it was never about law; you are perpetuating the world that you admit will be swallowed up by God.
Norms are provisional, especially for Draconians. The rebel’s belief that the law is itself a dogma chains the him to the law. The tyrant does not believe anymore than you. He’s an expert in unbelief. And he surely doesn’t believe in your capacity for indifference or curiousity.
The child searches for authorization, but not for itself. The child wonders about and guesses at the locus of the Other. ‘Why does s/he say that?’ The need for a reason is not given by an enforcer. The child is as much a source of authorization as the adult. Rebels know this well
A teacher designs a situation and leads to a differentiation point. The child grabs onto a referent. The truly difficult aspect of teaching is not getting a child to follow or even to intuit directions. This is provisional. You must create the need to integrate their experience.
Children exist. If you presuppose human beings come like a pistol shot ready to revolutionize, transvaluate, save, redeem, whatever catastrophic positivization you like, you’re fantasizing about a trademark. But the child is in the business of creating intelligence by forgery.
on the archway to Twizzy’s Academy, a haiku is written: IN THE AUDIENCE DARE TO KNOW AND LOOK AT WHERE THERE’S A FACE REVEAL
in the audience, if you know where to look, there’s a face reveal but, obviously, the best place to look is directly at Purple Kiss really such an amazing concert
The market place of ideas has determined a new consensus: we ought to teach our boys how to properly masturbate as well as provide the necessary conditions for proper masturbation.
As time converges on year 0, essene-style Judaism undergoes semiotic catastrophe. It starts to fluctuate wildly between strategies of liturgical consolidation (Qumran sect) & theurgical unloosening (Therapeutae). Only the latter had a chance to survive the emperor’s madness.
Judaism initially saw the psychotic potential of polytheism (even incarnational surplus: the Pharaoh, also the Caesar) but instead of loosening (as later Hellenic gnostics do) anxiety is absolutely localized. Now, a god wants something from us rather than wanting us for something
However, both are implicated in the same moment, though no compliance is required, for both seek to address the radioactive decay of polytheistic religion. The latter produces the messianic need without being able to signify it. Metaphysical excess is the psychotic compensation.

The difference between Valentinus and Marcion is this. V smashes the fragile cosmological guarantee of Hellenic metaphysics with the theogonic motif otherwise folded into mytho-ontology by Neoplatonism, while M repossesses Judaic covenantal providence by apostolic faith-work.

Hypothesis—. Marcion was a convert to purist Judaism, deeply disappointed with the providential function of Hellenic gnosticism. Sinope: a fertile cemetery for Platonic legacy (eg Diogenes). Finally Marcion rejects Judaic providence for the apostolic notion of action (scripture).
Philo folds Judaism into Egyptian-style magical healing. Marcion folds Judaism into Palestinian-style scriptural mediation. The former preserves the law by dissolving it in providential fluid. The latter brings the law to ground by an apostle of (a) God who persecutes himself.
