The necessity of structures, especially for meaning, occurs after the initial separation of individuals from the unity of reality. Lacan used the dynamics of the family to describe this separation, with the developing child growing apart from the total nurturing of the mother and having to resort to the structure imposed by the father in order to relate to the mother. Heidegger described the structure of existence as a process of elements of reality hidden or revealed for individuals. The attempt to reunite with reality requires structures that order this reality through inclusion and exclusion in a way that is very different from the initial non-conscious unity with reality.

 
As the presidential campaign is coming to a close, it might be important to shed some humor into the situation. This also illustrates that Ralph Nader has a wonderful self-effacing sensibility.

 
Wes Anderson is a contemporary director who has developed a very distinctive style where he is involved in every aspect of the film production. He has been influenced by a panoply of important films and in turn has influenced some recent films to create a unique sensibility in movies.

 
Interior design can have the same purpose as the design of software in order to help people navigate and make use of what is before them. At a certain point an overall design can have a certain logic but be too distanced from human action in the world to be functional.

 
In the opposition toward the state and its power there is the conundrum of what should be done away with, especially in the area of social services. Supporting the cutting of public services mistakes the parts for the influence of the whole. If the overall system is one of exploitation, then these parts are meant to preserve the system from internal collapse. However, when pushing back power, the main target should be the overall system rather than social services that may only increase exploitation if they were repealed.

 
The world is made up of parts that form wholes, and in turn those parts are made up of other parts. Any sense of causality is due to the separate objects being part of a larger overall whole that allows interaction. For humans, there is an overall structure of interaction between the objective self and the subjective perceptions of other objects. Objects in themselves will always retain aspects that are outside of the various structures of causality and interaction.
