@rebeca6169 @holdengraber Forms of eternity. "The revolution, the revelation, the apocalypse, is vision; which pronounces a last judgment; and brings about the end. Aphorism is the form of last judgments; sentences.” - N.O. Brown, Love's Body, 1966

Quoted by@holdengraber @rebeca6169 McLuhan's "mode of broken or syncopated manipulation to permit inclusive or simultaneous perception of a total or diversified field." N.O. Brown: "Truth, a broken body: fragments, or aphorisms; as opposed to systematic form or methods." The tweet, the thread, the Dionysian form.
