Hans Visit


Hansheng came to New York and we met up for dinner last Sunday. It's extremely excited to see him again, I guess what strikes me the most is the content of our conversation. Or to be exact, talking to Hansheng that evening turn into a self-clarification session for my own self and it confirmed and, at the same time, denied some of my earlier thoughts on beings. The initially conflicting notions of result oriented practicality and discursive dialectic progression in life somehow intertwined together, forming a path leading to a more desirable and universal end result for humanity to me. In fact, such conclusion has always been with me, it's just that it was somehow consolidated into a clearer mass that evening. Between the preplanned and reactionary dichotomy, there ought to emerge multiple of possibilities that give answers to the kaleidoscopic phenomenon. As for which answer to subscribe to, it is, again, another idiosyncratic decision that, somehow, lead to another groundless horizon. Nonetheless, the sense of groundlessness is, indeed, a ground floating above a vast field of different possibilities, I guess as Ranciere sees it, and not without a ground.
