but, Kenneth, you have to *mean something* don't you, even in your speech
that seeks to liberate thinking from the head? you still end up with
concepts, thus turning something thinkable into something objectified, a
sphere of objectivity, which requires... [pregnant pause] ... a subject. One
does not shake off subjectivity by thinking new objects or by thinking from
the hip (e.g., Juddification); is not this the attraction of Heidegger at
his best? Mayhap his is a thinking from the chest, the heart, the realm of
the open...?
