A personal philosophy is a farmer’s almanac of the mind. It tracks seasons, weather, yields. A first person philosophy turns the I against itself, the individual into a -dividual (the true or divided self). Constantly. Constant subjectivity. A hatred of objectification; an unwillingness to become a thing, to think like a thing; like a function, a machine-part. A personal philosophy is an antiseptic; cleanses the mind of its complicity with power — its desire to be one of, and with, the powerful. A personal philosophy founds itself on the subject, the subject which thinks it. It is the technology that cognition builds to save itself from the technologies that power builds.
