posted a translation of Adorno’s letter to Scholem on his reactions to reading the Zohar—tying in Gnosis, Benjamin, Kafka, and yes an extended comparison between reading the Zohar for a sense of its “topology” & the search for goat-antelopes over mountainous terrain (Link below)

when Adorno & Horkheimer were sending each other letters full of insults in 34, Adorno—probs the single real reader of the recently published “Dämmerung”—writes a letter like ‘I hate you right now but I unconditionally love this book if you even care. We are destined to be friends. Give it up’ lmfao

sometimes you will find yourself staring at a computer screen for half an hour having to repeat out loud “actually 300 dollars is not ‘a price you can’t afford NOT to buy a 1st edition Verlag Oprecht & Helbling hardcover printing of Dämmerung. Notizen in Deutschland von Heinrich Regius’”

You can't parody these people. They want Trump's results, but by a more procedurally palatable means.
