art, a Talmudism?

Who asks me to understand

and what is understood

Where now?  When now? Who now?
Without asking me. Tell me. Without think to it.
To call them questions, hypotheses.

 

Beckett




By asking questions, we usually end up imagining that we hear answers: a big problem here is the "voices" that speak in silence and that have never been short of listeners.
Clément Rosset -  Le réel, traité de l'idiotie.

The first characteristic of the Talmud is the constant difference of the text, the systematic practice of the rooster, the impression of a perfect disconnectedness.
Gérard Haddad

What is consciousness? What happened before the Big Bang? Will science and engineering restore our individuality? How will we cope with the proliferation of the world's population? Do the prime numbers follow a pattern? Can we make a mode of scientific reflection universal? How to ensure the survival and development of society? Can anyone adequately explain the meaning of infinite space? Will I be able to record my brain as I record a TV program? Can humanity reach the stars?
