Chip and I talk on Gmail chat pretty often. I'll give them to you as I get them from him.
10:37 AM
Chip: self-cherishing is a form of extreme neurosis.
10:38 AM
Me: It's too early, don't start. Have you fed the cat?
...and later....
10:44 AM Chip: so, there is this philosopher alan badou, who talks about the essentail human condition. So, he uses this analogy of two children in a sandbox, but there is only one toy in the sandbox, and one of the children grabs it. But what Badou says it's not the actual toy that the child wants--it's the "other child's" desire. It wants to consume the other persons desire, just because they desire it. It is an essential human predicament.
10:47 AM Chip: Firmly rooted in our attempt to establish why human beings can't be good.
10:48 AM Me: I knew this kid once that pooped in the sandbox. Talk about human predicament. I would hate to clean that up.
