not “oh! la la”
but AWE la la.com
words to get away from words…
Repeat after me...
With incantatory redundancy, the repetitive and predictable behavior of words (and images & sounds) act as formulas and cliches…
We are shielded...
…. formulas and cliches which ensure that the tautology (“it is true because it is true”) – a form of personal and collective idol-worship, – will function ad infinitum.
I know what I like...
We disguise our addictions as interests, and assume WE speak and like on our own when everything is already described and prescribed.
Silence and awe are connected.
WEBSITE IN CONSTRUCTION!
Dr. SANDER GILMAN
In the tradition of Abraham, the iconoclast… Pier Marton…
ARIBERT MUNZNER
Pier Marton rakes the virtual screens and the tablets of our hypocrisies with the sharp claws of the avenging angel, piercing the complacent facade of the status quo to reveal the underlying agonies of our conflicting moralities.
Dense & tense
& immense
How small can we be?
AWE "outside"
2,000 billion (only what we have counted so far) galaxies.
"inside" AWE
HOW many cells/chemicals/elements interact in a coordinated fashion to allow us to function, and heal? “Matter: flesh, skin, organs…. ,” brain, nervous/digestive/sensory systems, any kind of consciousness!!
AWE for what IS
Awe for the mere existence of what is: us, the other animals, “nature…”
AND the fragility of it all.
WHAT we "know" (SO little) covers up...
Awe for WHAT(?!) we don’t know is “tremendously ” larger than what we know, without even speaking of quantum reality, dark matter and black holes, and multiverses.
So, awe at what we don’t know vs. what we think we know, to start with. Which covers up what we don’t know.

NEW WEBSITE STILL IN ITS INFANCY
We use them nonchalantly because they are part of the language we speak.
