j reacts to astrology (and the amazing concept of the anarchist capricorn)

astrology...

you might expect that i'd think it's nonsense. and, you'd be right. but, it's a useful way to describe yourself in terms of being an imperfect copy of an ideal form. it's limiting, perhaps, but a decent starting point.

so, i've struggled against the designation of capricorn, broadly arguing that the fact that i'm so obviously not at all like that is just a demonstration that it's pseudo-science.

but, can you be an anarcho-communist capricorn? how absurd is that, actually? a contradiction in terms on first glance. maybe less so upon deeper analysis.

but, then, it doesn't help, anyways, because i'm distorting the form into something unrecognizable. this isn't converting a donut into a coffee cup, anymore. i'm no longer willing to acknowledge the isomorphism.

contradictions in terms aside, i like the description for it's apparent absurdity. it's a nice juxtaposition. if kind of creepy.

an anarchist capricorn.
