i can only place a marker here (not to be a tease ;-), because i am already going to be late, but this i think is wrong? or maybe i want it to be. i think singularities are precisely made. they require an effort of will. or maybe that is only the event. here is where it hurts not to have yet read B&E, so i just have to ask the question -- is singularity different from event?

the four conditions of philosophy, is where love comes in. another is politics. and science. and art. those are the four. there is a nice essay on this that is quick. but i can't recall the title off the top of my head. more later.

i admit the four still seem arbitrary to me. it has me thinking of heidegger.
