Our house is on fire. Join the resistance: Do no harm/take no shit. My idiosyncratic and confluent bricolage of progressive politics, the collaborative commons, next generation cognitive neuroscience, American pragmatism, de/reconstruction, dynamic systems, embodied realism, postmetaphysics, psychodynamics, aesthetics. It ain't much but it's not nothing.

The tilde
Following up on this post, in the previous discussion we
discussed the slash (/) as being a boundary separator/connector
between words, concepts, things. But in the "Practical Mysticism"
article it says Deleuze used the tilde (~) for such
purposes to indicate the included middle. I now prefer it over the slash, which as a straight line still
hints at dichotomy, whereas the curved tilde is basically half of an
infinity sign. The other, invisible half rests in the virtual while the
actual half is visible, thus indicating with this symbol the immanent
yet transcendental (spiritual) aspect of the actual. There's also some folds in this symbol. So if I use the prefix 'syn' instead (from this post) we get a synbol, since the symbol is itself in a folded relationship with what it symbolizes.
