Page 52 jbml thln 81 "[A] physically reasonable
THEORY:"
Your point
that a prediction of the way things will be in an hour
might be perfectly valid for the first 59 minutes of that hour
calls to mind Mathieu Kassovitz's film La Haine. An initial voice-over
tells the old joke about the man who falls from a high building and, as he passes each floor on his descent,
calls out "So far, so good!" We the viewers should heve been forewarned by that story, but none of us believed
that the tale's sick Jewish "hero" would actually die ... Surely, Kassovitz's is speaking to the French state here,
reminding it that no matter how long it has preserved an aura of permanence,
no one knows what will happen in the "end?"
Page 54 jbml thln 81:
You write of human telephonic practice as retaining traces of the paradigm of the face-to-face conversation.
But curiously, the format we have chosen - long entries with long interruptions - makes this much more like an epistolary interrogation than an e-mail exchange, and in almost no way does it model on face-to-face presence.
Even less is our format like traditional Talmud study, in which,
as my brother once put it, time stops, so that
"a question asked in the 16th century
is answered in the 11th."
Fine,
this seems to imply
that Talmud Thorah makes sense in an Einsteinian universe,
but how does it articulate with your notion of "historical" time,
and what purchase do we have
from the answer
to this question?
