Was happy to read another great, delightfully great essay, Natasha-thank you!
While I fully agree(or feel as if almost "my own") last two quotes-I've more questions about some other ones, and several of their basic assumptions, but as you might know by know I love having questions. I'll continue to think, no doubt.
I'll need to get back to the matryoshka scheme as well-because when I was studying it again yesterday, I saw a couple new things that I've missed before-one, being, looking at it-would it be true then to suppose that in certain instances, one can skip anything mimetic altogether to arrive at prophesy?
I also have another question -related but not sure fitting this discussion. Maybe afterwards sometime.
I also was reminded of this song-too simplistic, I know, yet I still love the video
Maybe I missed something… there are plenty of times where people engage in creative endeavors because the very doing of it brings us pleasure. There are aspects of being a person that thrive on self affirmation through doing pleasurable behaviors.
To the mimesis/prophesy question, absolutely—our fascination with the prophetic holds in both hereditary & mutable status models.
