>From demonstrative science to monstrative science. The mathematics of The Horror and the monstrative display of the GENETIC GENIUS (Virilio).
Monstration, the show off, the show out, the blatant presentation of itself – The Horror. The Horror, the new monster, because it is the non-local * eidos* of the gore show. Sickness and pity, the Virilian self-feeding cycle of the spammed inverted grace. "We shouldn't condemn this world so much as feel sorry for it. *The world needs pity*. Only pity has a chance of cobbling its pride." (Bernanos). "We are familiar with *extreme sports*, in which the champion risks death striving for some pointless performance – 'going for it'. Now we find the man of science, adept in *extreme sciences*, running the supreme risk of denaturing the living being – having already shattered his living environment." (Virilio). The Horror is naturally, endemically, epidemically hysterical, the real time of The Horror replayed in a loop is most definitely 'hysterical'. The time required for reflection has been outdone (Virilio), and the time for the conditioned reflex is the order of the day, the order of the discourse, the order of the thought that gives up thinking, and replaces the question mark by the '!' that inevitably follows a scream and a screen filled with blood, at which time the monstrative exercise ends up with a simple Q.E.M.. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cosmology, Mathematics and Philosophy" group.
