The Asemics of Winning / EZE, 2026

The urine in the trough flowed freely.

The stench in the pigsty was awful, but the wisdom was that there will be pretty things that sparkle.

"That is a stream that sometimes shares its color with the sun," said the government official.

"Only when the light returns," said the oracle. "And it reeks no less."

The prisoners in the parking lot pointed to the sky.

"What are you listening to?" asked the spy. "I hear nothing."

"Hello people," said King Midas. "I like winning."

Indeed, King Midas, everything is golden now.

For winning makes a golden calf, but brings no meat to the table,

And bread alone is outrageous.

The prisoners in the parking lot, the face of malnourishment.

Noli me tangere echoes a Latin Jesus.

Asemics of a Political Self / EZE, 2026

~ Disjunction! ~

It takes finding a certain sameness to define a political self, but self often implies an actor with purpose, and yet, for the actor-narrator, politician or not, there is a power in the ability to keep telling stories, whatever other purpose  the stories may have.

Community

Profiling

Political Self

Transformational Politics

Stochastic Self

~ Disjunction! ~

Definition is a return to a certain sameness.

Direction is about a path.

A development is a path through time.

Teleology is a path with a time-bound end: the egg, the caterpillar, the chrysalis, the butterfly.

The relationship of these states requires a sense of connectedness:

Butterfly

To tell more stories?
