THE GHOST RESEARCH GENERATION

Oh yes I totally agree. Although, if you look at it from a different perspective, maybe I am not right and I am just imagining things. I do not believe in objective human beings, that is just a contradiction, an oxymoron. Objective human beings who can research upon facts with their minds but without eyes and with facts but without memory. No brown glass in between to dirty your perception. The truth out there. Do you know what oxymorons are by the way? Well, an oxymoron is something like boiling ice or happy sadness or transparent glasses. Something which supposedly cannot exist but which does. Everyone knows melancholy.

Everyone is like wandering away and crossing the road and producing stuff and editing and cooking and eating and meeting important people and reading and repeating and losing critical capacity and building networks and going and leaving. And leaving. And I wonder whether we are just wasting our time. Precious time that goes before you even have time to notize and to live it, to use it. Use it, produce it, take it, smash it, learn it, erase it, show me that you are alive.

Be objective, judge, produce, write, edit. Show me a hundred-page curriculum with a thousand publications and I’ll give you the job. Wasting time to get money. Wait wait. Wasn’t time also money. Then that is an oxymoron too… Wasting time to get life. A life written on paper. Neat facts about yourself. Never forget to be objective, to let others know how productive you have been. How often you have wasted your time to be famous, to appear in reference lists for other non self-centered researchers. Did I explain what an oxymoron was? A kind of altruistic thing I guess, like giving your own time to others. If they cared. Write, read, wonder, crytal clear, do as if, take time to breathe, ready? Go! Wonderful research community.

I like the colour red.
