🎈…zu sagen, das Seiende sei und das Nicht-Seiende sei nicht, ist wahr. (Metaphysik IV, 7; 1011 b 27). European Anesthesiologist with a Master in Philosophy, great love for Literature and Art. Politisch verzweifelt. Ich poste auf deutsch und englisch.
![“Here’s the unadulterated text: “Your dead child. Prepare him for new life. Fill him with the earth. Be careful! He should not over-eat. Put on his golden coat. You bathe him. Warm him but be careful! A child dies from too much sun. Put on his jewels. This is my recipe.” To make sense of it, I’ve inserted my own crude references: “Your dead child. [the chicken] Prepare him for new life. [bone] Fill him with the earth. [stuff] Be careful! He should not over-eat. [stuff lightly] Put on his golden coat. [brown before baking] You bathe him. [prepare the poaching liquor] Warm him but be careful! A child dies from too much sun. [cooking temperature: 130 Celsius] Put on his jewels. [once cooked, pour the sweet-pepper sauce] This is my recipe.” Many Persian recipes, I’ve since learned, are couched in such poetic language. And they are meant to be recipes: how could they possibly work?
This is a recipe conceived entirely in metaphors. ”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xvgde73o43ektoe2rvzcn6qh/bafkreicm4as2hewkeptzwghntz3ku3v5zzzpg733jtog3hmne5ozystomi)
