Blind Speech

POGING #3:

– What would you prefer, being completely understood or understanding someone else completely? Are you able to communicate on your own? Can you understand someone when you can't think with his mind, can't feel with his body?

“Speech is what’s taking place here right now. There’s a mirror. I’m speaking. There’s a camera. You pose a question, I repeat it. So I’m acting as both Narcissus and Echo at one and the same time.

…

And as always with speech, one is blind. To speak is to not see. So all speech to some extent is blind.” – Jacques DerridaPOGING #3:
