More From Lena Dunham

The western approach to reality is mostly through theory, and theory begins by denying reality - to talk about reality, to go around reality, to catch anything that attracts our sense-intellect and abstract it away from reality itself. thus philosophy begins by saying that the outside world is not a basic fact, that its existence can be doubted and that every proposition in which the reality of the outside world is affirmed is not an evident proposition but one that needs to be divided, dissected and analyzed. it is to stand consciously aside and try to square a circle.

People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. you come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality.

This is an important distinction, because most of the modern philosophies that deny that we can know reality, and ultimately truth, make the mistake of constructing epistemological systems to explain how we know reality without first acknowledging the fact that we do know reality. after they begin within the mind and find they can't construct a bridge to reality, they then declare that we can't know reality. it is like drawing a faulty road map before looking at the roads, then declaring that we can't know how to get from chicago to new york!

Being often with many leading politicians, i feel frustrated that they do not listen. they already know. they fully subscribed to the idea that talking about 'saving the planet' is an effective way to show their 'caring' for humanity and that it is the easiest way to maximize votes irrespective of any relevant activity which would aim at the real needs of people. the global warming dogma has become a very easy form of escapism from the current reality.

Fashion should be a form of escapism, and not a form of imprisonment.

When a man spends his own money to buy something for himself, he is very careful about how much he spends and how he spends it. when a man spends his own money to buy something for someone else, he is still very careful about how much he spends, but somewhat less what he spends it on. when a man spends someone else's money to buy something for himself, he is very careful about what he buys, but doesn't care at all how much he spends. and when a man spends someone else's money on someone else, he does't care how much he spends or what he spends it on. and that's government for you.
