Eidos of History
In America’s Pragmatism,
the urgent question is "of" individual sanctity
now can be tweeted as:
“what is the Pragmatic or Aesthetic function "of"
******** or PUSSY, anyway?”
and "of" the 2 types of Humanity:
the Good Dudes and the Bad Dudes—
in the view of this “Trash Culture” or “Pseudo Culture”!
In European Phenomenology,
it is about "aboutness," about, for example,
the 4 kinds of people:
the Ass-holes, the Ass-wipes, the Ass-kissers,
and
those who **** all over the world and
come home as “Sir”!
some of those exist in the understanding,
some in reality!
Phenomenologically speaking,
persons should be explored
like an uncharted wild terrain—
a person reflects the society he/she lives in.
In an African Perspective,
there is only one Human race
in one Home called Dachii, Oikos:
Ume Walaabuu baate—
Creation began at Walaabu!
Nutu kana, natu akkana—
We are, therefore, I am!
safuu! oofuu! ubuntu!
We Africans are not uncivilized
We are civilized differently—
and maladjusted
with different thought patterns!
Simply put, it is
too much a "Progress" folks
too much to cope with
one is too shallow, the other is too deep a "Civilization"
to figure out
and too hard to focus.
Africa, oh Africa
land of Love&Light
happy to be maladjusted?

Operational Definitions of "Eidos" and "Oikos":
Eidos:
-for Ronald Barthes "eidos" = appearance, idea, constitutive nature,
-or as a Greek term, it means "form" "essence", "type" or "species".
Oikos
-is a Greek term for English prefix: eco- for "ecology" to refer to three related but distinct concepts: the family, the family's property, and the house
Who said the ancestry of human knowledge is Greek or Latin anyway?
