THERE IS NO META LANGUAGE
[I've got you under my skin]
"Waking up in the shadow of the unseen power of hyperobjects is like finding yourself in a David Lynch movie in which it becomes increasingly uncertain whether you are dreaming or awake. Humans are forced to confront phenomenological sincerity, the truth that ´there is no meta language'. [...] We have not traversed the curtain of illusion into a world of certainty. [...] As Laurie Anderson put in her song [...] 'What is behind the curtain?' THE PLAY OF ILLUSION AND CONCEALMENT IS A SYMPTOM OF REALITY. [...] The further into the Great Acceleration we go, the more we shall need to confront feelings of unreality."
Timothy Morton, Hyperobjects
