markov_particle: Meanwhile, I'm considering merging Guattari, Berardi, and Federico Campagna's Magic System into a deep dive of Shestov, James Hillman, and Whitehead only to then do nothing but write poetry in purely Dionysian fashion until my final breath if it doesn't work out in the end

markov_particle: Further (possibly) deranged thoughts: James Hillman talks alot about myth and fantasy in myths of the family and I just wonder if epigenetics systems (of course tethered in relation to other systems) can imagine, fantasize, and consider the virtual as well

markov_particle: I want to know much more about James Hillman's reading of Dionysus
