Starting from the Narrative#
I have written several blogs sporadically, all of which have been left behind in the hustle and bustle of day and night. Let this blog be the final scenery.
In the past year, I have read many books, most of which are in the humanities and social sciences. This has many benefits; humanities and social science books have largely overturned my worldview, and my mind no longer dwells on some kind of unified order or fragile beliefs.
The greatest gain has been Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit, which truly made me feel a certain sense of fragmentation in the world, and the clear world has finally begun to become 【blurred】.
Why is it a good thing that it becomes blurred? Because of transformation, a shift in perspective, a change in dimensions, and the filling of information. Although it seems chaotic, this is a more real world.
Believing that the world is a whole is a kind of human laziness, and it is also a rational violence.
Hegel has a very "right-wing" saying:
What is real is rational
Everything that exists is rational
In understanding this statement, I went through three stages:
- Everything that exists is rational.
- Humans can make things not exist; rational things are guaranteed by humans.
- Everything that exists is irrational.
These three stages correspond to three mindsets:
- Because there are no worries, one can freely contemplate mysterious causality, and a solid logical chain governs the world.
- Because work is about to begin, there is some inner worry, believing that human effort can overcome nature.
- Learning from previous work, seeing various irrational cracks within individuals and the collective, clearly recognizing one's own laziness and cowardice.
Starting from the narrative, no matter what, bring it on.
