Can anyone translate this for me? Doesn't it mean "I (The Self?) is an Other"?





Yes, I can. If any of you give a damn then you must know who it is that is giving a swinging damn. Is it your lingual self? That outward self of sensory information who exchanges information and action with the external world or is the self who directs his fleshy robot into mindless actions?

If you forget a name who is it that recalls that name while you are busy interacting with the outside world? Huh?
And who does the dreaming while you are asleep?

Think a bit. Are you merely a biological extention of a self that is you but doesn't speak in words but in biological imperatives?

Or is the we who are but operatives of our own sub-conscious who is the we?

I think maybe yes.

I hope that you all understand and that we, of the cognitive bent, do too.
