not far enough along for that. i was thinking more in terms of his concept of social change. it kept reminding me of a durkheimian organicism where an event inevitably will be and that moves society along. this reminds me of how social change is explained in structural functionalist schools of thought. if society is like an organism, it's operations are geared toward homeostatis.
currently, i'm dripping wet having been out condo hunting. i might describe this as an unfortunate set of circumstances. ugh. yuck.
but it is just my body responding -- homeostatically -- to a rise in temperature. i sweat to cool off.
i was just in the basement of one of these condos, looking at the storage unit. i felt a drip. Oh. Something's dripping.
it's a problem.
but it's not. it's condensation. it's what it was supposed to do. and the event seems to be something that is supposed to -- must -- happen.
philosophers are supposed to step in tounderstand why it did. or something. but that is just my skimming around this book. i should get serious and perform the necessary exegesis.
it is too fuckin' hot.
