TASP 2003 at UT Austin: The Mystery of Creativity



reasonably remarkable



Friday, August 22, 2003
ahh... sorry about E peeps. Hmm... concerning what I said earlier... After much deliberation (that would be me in the bathroom taking care of... ehh... yeah), it occured to me that perhaps the officer to die is the squeaky wheel in the penal colony society - but that interpretation doesn't work out too well. What works better is if we were to interpret the killing maching thingimachig as the officer's perfect society, one that functions with some aim, where all people work toward the same goal and are all wheels in it. In that interpretation, one could say that Kafka argues that it only takes one person to go against all of society to make the whole thing fall apart (which may also be seen in the actual scenario concerning the officer...) I really don't know. I'm just a twit, but I'm going to keep rambling until someone says something!!! so please, if you want to spare me from further embarrassment or just completely trash what I just said, do it...
