I'm excited to watch the JBP-Žižek thing. I want to be angry at myself for that but I'm just not. I want the insipid resolution of a boxing match.

Our grandkids are going to be so amused at the idea that we used to think that there was such a thing as objective reality or a universal social consensus, I think. "Resolution" will feel as reductionist for them as fundamentalist christianity does for us, I think.

TBH that probably *is* what I want. The illusion of an obvious winner & loser. Undoubtedly, the whole thing will exactly reproduce modern incoherence -- both sides celebrating their victories and ridiculing the invented losers. I'm just hoping for the unlikely -- an outcome.
