THE WILL TO IGNORANCE (December 5, 2015)
My book about yoga, which is nearing completion at a clip, has long acquired its title (“Who Is Yoga?” November 26, 2008). It has recently acquired its cover image, as well (“The Cover Image,” January 3, 2015). Even more recently, it has also acquired its motto from Friedrich Nietzsche, which has long been a part of my Residua, a commonplace book for true (“Beyond von Hayek,” June 22, 1986). As of today, it has its subtitle, too, which comes straight from the motto: “The Will to Ignorance.”[1] Having acquired all the trappings of a book worthy of this name, all it now needs is the fulfillment of that glorious will. Or its decisive attainment, as well as a few precious words nailing it down for good. A piece of cake, dear reader. Nothing but a piece of cake.
