rene,
my confusion results from my long conviction that if you bracket out
bourgeois egotism (its midas-like reifying), the remainder subjectivity
is not only not virulent, but necessary to being, and being authentically.
At the same time, open-ness to the other, is as necessary.
it's clear you have to step back from, or out of subjectivity into the
stream of being to experience/think/discover ontologically; but that's just
specialist methodology, no? To discover the Other existentially requires a
subject. You say

again there's clearly somewhat of method, pragmatism, here, that's
unexceptionable, ...at least for nietzschean heroes. but the-past is what
is finished, determined, ...how can one execrate the past? ...without
autoemasculation, sychosis?

you're gainsaying the agonic? isn't the desert in me, my pusilanimity,
inauthenticity, separate from the case where an Other forces his will to
caste me into determinations that convulse my sartrean self. i think one
only finds his self mirrored in abu ghraib when he acquiesces. and
absolutely, wolfowitz and the bush nazis are filthy curs (pitbulls at least
have courage), ...only look at their works, ...and one were free to use them
as he saw fit, only that it be according to one's own dignity
