Maybe that was the story of the first, lonely life form. Things got better, or more heady, or maybe things went to our heads. There is a reverse interpretation of this stamp: headstrong pride that ignores the needs of the body. Well, it's just a little stamp. I made it on a whim, in a dozen minutes. Probably, I wasn't thinking of all these things.

haha! men don't exist! It's part of the nothingness paradox: to be a female requires: reproduction in time, space. Technically, all livings are a female argument. There's Mr. Outis from the Odyssey: Homer says his name means No Man, No Nothing at all. You can argue that there are subsets of femaleness, but then, that would just be more divisions of physics--electrical divisions, magnetics, biology.

Not passive, active; life begins with swimming lessons, and the first living soul (a female by definition) would be mostly body, or most entirely body. That's chemiosmosis.

Maybe this is all about the difficulties of Feminism organizing its own ranks? The Passive Lady Syndrome?

Very good, Ian!

Haha! I suppose that would be very small axons. Very short protein strands. Bourgeois grande? Like a latte with more complex, well-funded proteins? Ah, life is very income related, and there's always some kind of food banking.

Critics of philosophy? That is just more taxons within philosophy. Some maintain that philosophy is a headless academy of logical procedure, a learned Turing success but no more: AI with LaMettrie. And the counter would be perhaps Harry Frankfurt's restatement of the Freedom Paradox that we are actually headless, or at least pretty brainless in the department of responsible phenomenology. The stamp portrays what could be female figures: is this a comment on the seemingly small number of women in academic philosophy? But then, what would be the definition of female as a logic of inclusion? Anything that reproduces itself in time or at least contributes thereto? All would be feminists, derived by individuating circumcision--in this case, class illogic itself.
