“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Transitions

Moving all my stuff to the new machine has proved far easier than last time, since I have Dropbox with 100 gigs of memory. That way everything except the music (260GB, 75 days worth) was easily ported just now onto Dropbox without having to do any copying of files. It also means happily that all the family pictures and so on will be automatically available on all our computers.

Meanwhile, I continue to be impressed by this Schellingian Zizek. It's really too bad that he blows it every ten pages by announcing that it's all about Hegel. His Schellingian phase is one I can definitely live with.
