Short Circuit Quotes - Page 2

• Being young and trying to catch a glimpse of the depths, of the true self, of the soul, or whatever human beings have called it over the centuries, we often find ourselves surrounded by bossy, hectoring voices trying to short-circuit our personal experience by super-imposing their own disappointments. Much of this bossiness masquerades as an education.

• Abuse manipulates and twists a child's natural sense of trust and love. Her innocent feelings are belittled or mocked and she learns to ignore her feelings. She can't afford to feel the full range of feelings in her body while she's being abused-pain, outrage, hate, vengeance, confusion, arousal. So she short-circuits them and goes numb. For many children, any expression of feelings, even a single tear, is cause for more severe abuse. Again, the only recourse is to shut down. Feelings go underground.

• El momento de la verdad, la aparición repentina de una nueva intuición, es un acto de intuición. Tales intuiciones dan la apariencia de brotes milagrosos o cortocircuitos del razonamiento. De hecho, pueden compararse a una cadena sumergida, de la que sólo el principio y el final son visibles por encima de la superficie de la conciencia. El buceador desaparece en un extremo de la cadena y reaparece en el otro, guiado por eslabones invisibles.

• Sellars's "myth of Jones" is deployed against what Sellars calls "the myth of the categorial Given": the idea that to be aware of something is to be aware of it as something. This short circuit between "awareness of" and "awareness as" inhibits the project of self-understanding because it perpetuates the assumption that there is a point where being and knowing coincide.
