the state of doubting

We researched doubt by doubting it.

This is an of how everything can be

something and therefore creating value is a decision you need to carefully consider. All things can be important in this way of not knowing what you are looking for until you find it,and therefore doubt is possibly the most important tool.

The next pages are a guide in the process of doubting. We did not make any assumptions and tried to include all usefull and useless moments. It was not the goal that was important but the way of getting there.

ullshit is when somebody starts talking about something he has no knowledge about.B

Never make work you do not believe in.

Unless it is bullshit.

We can read the same text and understand something completely different.

Or: The object of reasoning is to find out, from consideration of what we already know, something else which we do not know.

Or: Doubt is an uneasy and dissatisfied state from which we struggle to free ourselves and pass into a state of belief.

From: The Fixation of Belief Charles S. Pierce (November 1877)

The irritation of doubt causesa struggle to attain a state of belief.

Everything is connected;

Uselessness and the unexpected can make you doubtYou need doubt to find your belief You need belief for self-actualization

The uselessness becomes usefulThe doubt becomes your beliefYour belief becomes your need for self-actualization

Now I am aware of my doubts

ME

I just had a coffee with a friend

and could not stop asking myself:

Do I actually want to drink coffee with you?

Would you share your doubts with me?

Am I good enough?

Am I everything I want to be?

Working hard or enjoy?

Does she want to be with me?

What am I doing here?!

Does she like me?

The web is an extension of the brain, it tells me more than I want to know but now I know.So it is already too late.

We zoom in and in and in and in and in and in and in and in and in and in and in and in and in and in and in and in and in..

Until the little things start to talk,

like the shadow of my kitchencabinet.

Until everything is Aa

I do a lot of ineffective research. ‘Maybe it looks like I’m doing nothing, but I have been really busy.’

Musical object found at home #1

From: Lecture on Nothing John Cage

What I am calling poetry is often called content.

But actually, unlike the snails, we carry our homes within us.

Once I saw a cardinal and at the same day I heard a woodpecker.

Clearly we are beginning to get nowhere.

CHAOSORDER

even order is chaos

When do ideas become actions?

There was too much doubt to choose the best idea.

“I’m not sure if I still want to be a toothbrush”

After a talk with my tutor about my plan to make ‘doubtfull objects’, I was not even sure what an object was anymore.

These are our beliefs so far. But all beliefs are fluid and change over time by experiencing new things (...).
