Hannibal S03E01 (Antipasto)

Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) dines with Bedelia Du Maurier (Gillian Anderson) and Anthony Dimmond (Tom Wisdom).

“Dante wrote that fear is almost as bitter as death,” he says, thus referring to the 1st Canto of Divina Commedia (verses 4-7):

Ahi quanto a dir qual era è cosa dura esta selva selvaggia e aspra e forte che nel pensier rinova la paura!

Tant’ è amara che poco è più morte; ma per trattar del ben ch'i’ vi trovai, dirò de l'altre cose ch'i’ v'ho scorte.

Listen to the sound of wikipedia

This is a way to listen to changes to wikipedia. You are literally listening to knowledge being added to the world.

Pluck sounds are an addition, strings are subtractions, and the pitch says how how big the edit is. My heart shudders at this I love it so much.

Anything You Want

by Matthew Dickman

My living brother is treating us to dinner. He opens the menu wide like a set of wings across the table. Anything you want he says. His voice glimmering above the shining heavens of the silverware. The other one, my dead brother, is sitting in the dark in the graveyard, his back leaning back against his name. I’m walking by with my favorite drug inside me. He’s picking at a scab on his wrist. He looks up, opens his arms wide above the grass. Anything you want, he says. His body beginning to wash out, his voice slowly crawling back.

Epistemicide can be broadly defined as the destruction of knowledge systems and the knowledge that they generate. The Latin American sociologist Ramón Grosfoguel explains how epistemicide played a crucial role in Europe's colonization of the rest of the world, including the settler colonization of the Americas. It granted European philosophy an “epistemic privilege,” allowing it to become the “new foundation of knowledge in the modern/colonial world.”

In other words, it created a world in which only knowledge produced by European colonists and settlers was deemed legitimate, while colonized societies were compelled to construct new systems from scratch — often mirroring those of their colonizers — because their own systems had been destroyed. As a result, the structural conditions of knowledge production that facilitated the mechanisms of their colonialization also imposed constraints on their liberation.

duration has no value. how long do sacrifices last? thinking about the aqedah, the sacrifice of isaac by his father's knife, about how the biblical text tells us when it begins (וַיַּשְׁכֵּם, in the morning) but not when it ends. or, thinking about the red cow of numbers, the sacrifice that cleans one person only by ruining another, about how this has only terminus (it ends in the evening) but no beginning. duration has no value, but neither does an unattached terminus, or an opening left atemporal. i mean that biblical sacrifices, for those on the altar, or those with hands covered in blood, don't begin, and definitely don't end. isaac is always tied up. the red cow will spend the rest of her life dying. your hands, bloody now, won't feel clean for a while

#sacrifice #the main course a tragedy
