Proto-humans, having been
transfixed by the stars and their patterns of motion, took a while to bring such clarity down from heaven, via reflection, exact measurement, geometry, industry, differentiation of metals, telegraph and telephone, tele-market; close monitoring of social substance, television like a blur, in a moment a thorn pushes you forward out ahead of your lagging behind, eventually the results were mixed, illegible;
anyway we have and we are ourselves now a whole new conglomeration of problems without measure…

What else is consciousness, Schelling asked, but the self’s revelation of itself to itself?

If this self-revelation is indirect or deferred in some way*, then there is the possibility that some moment, some aspect of the process, the event itself, is unconscious.
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
* which of course it is,–– and such deferral is exactly the object of philosophical knowledge; i.e., along with the problem of what might call forth such self-revelation in the first place.
