Circle 2.0
Perhaps I ought to say something about what I’m doing here. Although I really don’t know why, you ought to know me quite well, already. Let’s just say we have excellent bandwidth down here — what, you didn’t know one of the Circles was virtual? You are at least familiar with allegory, I hope … ! Oh, the unlettered and image-soaked modern masses. However, many of you seem to have almost taken up residence here; I’d warn you against temptation but — well why, after all? The world has always and already been ungrateful enough.
Anyway, as I was saying, I’ve been doing a little online research. Yes, the story. That story. That false friend! That betrayal! I am still angry, oh yes. And anger management classes down here — well, let’s just say we are encouraged to manage it UP. But leaving fiction aside, I also noticed that I do after all have quite a presence in the reference section. Not where I thought, in aesthetics or biographies. But in the philosophy of language! Meinong, Kripke, even some other scoundrel named Soames - yes, I comprise a small, yet significant, body of work. And an ongoing conundrum, representing as I do both the subjective viewpoint and the God’s Eye View - or, should we say, the view of a quite different Eye …
So I have decided to open an Account, and see if I might once again attempt some Communication. He doesn’t like it much. But El Diablo is a stickler for the law, and he had to acknowledge a loophole in our initial deal — online activities were not specifically prohibited.
At the moment, I am kicking back under some flame trees in Meinong’s Jungle while reworking Negations. I’ll keep you, as you say, “posted.”
