Insolubility

What does one do when confronted with a problem which brooks no response? Cope? But coping is absurd. If I cannot respond to a problem with praxis, or at least with the possibility of praxis, then it returns to face me with my own impotence in tow.

One of the lesser-known Freudian defense mechanisms is called intellectualization. I have relied heavily on it, as I continue to do now.

Fuck you, philosophy. You cannot offer me consolation now.
