TAKE SIX EGGS!

 

I

Common-wealth mediates social-ecological belonging (or not) but is itself mediated by common-being its sense, a veritable chicken and egg situation, mediation of mediation: intermediation. Put imperfectly and inexactly, reproductive human relationships with nature are always mediated by social (institutional) relationships that are always everywhere mediated by human relationships with nature since humans never step outside of nature.

 

II

Common-being is the sense, memory and aesthetic embodiment of common wealth as a mythical animal; Something that erupts into the state of the situation under certain contingent circumstances (of crisis) as contradictions of capitalist property, and so thereby pointing beyond it, negatively.

 

III

Common-wealth is historical and various and virtual; without it no socio-ecological reproduction nor any capital accumulation; its seeds and eggs are everywhere and can be tended into flourishing.

 

IV

Common-being appears and disappears, is remembered and forgotton, (like love is broken, betrayed, never enough and failing, or, on the run, a feeling less than nothing) the way of the earth, the way of Gaia’s lost sisters . .  . . . abyssal foundation!

 

V

The poesis of common-being and the assemblage of common-wealth are predicated/ dependent upon each other without being reducible to each other; they both mediate practices/praxis.

 

VI

Nature without humanity both exists but for that reason does not; since “existence” is irreducibly given to us by Gaia’s sisters, the meaningless meaning of meaningless being.
