Language is separate to the reality that it refers to, which renders language incomplete non all. A signifier never fully corresponds to a signified. But there's always a surplusthat produces the dynamic. So yet, language is an attempt to a describe reality, the world, and ultimately insufficient to fully describe the world. If it did, it would be the world, it'd be the world. Ye ah. It still functions as a way of describing the world. Yes?
This week the fellas talk Žižek's use of the Möbius strip. Žižek writes that "the Möbius strip stands for the basic dynamics of the order of being, for what was traditionally called the dialectical 'coincidence of opposites'". While working through the concept, &SoOn talks art, Top Gun, and Midnight In Paris.
