The first grand federalist design...was that of the Bible, most particularly the Hebrew Scriptures or Old Testament... Biblical thought is federal (from the Latin foedus, covenant) from first to last--from God's covenant with Noah establishing the biblical equivalent of what philosophers were later to term Natural Law to the Jews' reaffirmation of the Sinai covenant under the leadership of Ezra and Nehemiah, thereby adopting the Torah as the constitution of their second commonwealth. The covenant motif is central to the biblical world view, the basis of all relationships, the mechanism for defining and allocating authority, and the foundation of the biblical political teaching. ↗
In conscious life, we achieve some sense of ourselves as reasonably unified, coherent selves, and without this action would be impossible. But all this is merely at the ‘imaginary’ level of the ego, which is no more than the tip of the iceberg of the human subject known to psychoanalysis. The ego is function or effect of a subject which is always dispersed, never identical with itself, strung out along the chains of the discourses which constitute it. There is a radical split between these two levels of being — a gap most dramatically exemplified by the act of referring to myself in a sentence. When I say ‘Tomorrow I will mow the lawn,’ the ‘I’ which I pronounce is an immediately intelligible, fairly stable point of reference which belies the murky depths of the ‘I’ which does the pronouncing. The former ‘I’ is known to linguistic theory as the ‘subject of the enunciation’, the topic designated by my sentence; the latter ‘I’, the one who speaks the sentence, is the ‘subject of the enunciating’, the subject of the actual act of speaking. In the process of speaking and writing, these two ‘I’s’ seem to achieve a rough sort of unity; but this unity is of an imaginary kind. The ‘subject of the enunciating’, the actual speaking, writing human person, can never represent himself or herself fully in what is said: there is no sign which will, so to speak, sum up my entire being. I can only designate myself in language by a convenient pronoun. The pronoun ‘I’ stands in for the ever-elusive subject, which will always slip through the nets of any particular piece of language; and this is equivalent to saying that I cannot ‘mean’ and ‘be’ simultaneously. To make this point, Lacan boldly rewrites Descartes’s ‘I think, therefore I am’ as: ‘I am not where I think, and I think where I am not. ↗
I love the big scale and immediate impact of posters. They're my favourite things to design. ↗

With a Luxury Chauffeur Company for Your Executive Needs When we think of the directiechauffeur service we might typically envision a motorist in a smartly pressed uniform and a limousine - a big, important-looking automobile to drive us to someplace essential, on an essential day. A short but swift burst of speed and luxury from one point to another point on the vacation that means more to us than most trips ever will, and will certainly remain with us for longer. Of course, it is all of these things. However it is actually a lot more also. It is, really, a bespoke experience completely tailored to your personal requirements, with each aspect of-the service both designed and performed solely with your expectations in mind. There is a whole lot of reasons why one might choose to utilize a limo service, but basically they boil down either to party or to convenience. If one is being driven to a point of destination by a chauffeur it's commonly either an once in a lifetime event, or alternatively it is because there is no simpler or less stressful way to travel to a particular port of call. It is trivial to organise a limousine for-a wedding, a motorist who's dedicated to getting you to-the church on time and without forever stealing a glance at his wristwatch in expectation of his next customer. On such an once in a lifetime affair no other style of wedding transport comes anywhere close. When convenience is what you're looking for allowing a seasoned chauffeur to take on the weight of organising your transport needs would be to alleviate your own self of the pain of being diverted or upset by peripherals when all your focus needs to be upon the job with which you have been entrusted. Airport transfers and excursions outside to company meetings are also instances once the traveller actually has to be with his or her thoughts, considering what will be occurring during the hours ahead and focusing on the events of the day. As a possible source of strain travelling and all other peripheral activity needs to-be eradicated. ↗
Loneliness is designed to help you discover who you are…and to stop looking outside yourself for your worth. ↗

There is no 'eugenics' in Nietzsche - despite occasional references to 'breeding'- at least no more than is implicit in the recommendation to choose a partner under decent lightning conditions and with one's self-respect intact. Everything else falls under training, discipline, education and self-design - the Übermensch implies not a biological but an artistic, not to say an acrobatic programme. The only thought-provoking aspect of the marriage recommendation quoted above is the difference between onward and upward propagation. This coincides with a critique of mere repetition - obviously it will no longer suffice in future for children, as one says, to 'return' in their children. There may be a right to imperfection, but not to triviality. ↗

He likes his work, dear. Let that be a lesson to you--always find a worthy job that keeps you happy. ↗
