Joe Fish & The Immaculate Conceptons

Could Joe Fish conceive of WET?
It would have to be immaculate or
traumatic, yes?

Listen:

The Joe Fish problem aims at generating
a mild  cerebral shock & awesome small
improvised explosive device intended to
expose the uncanny notion of being totally
unaware, unconscious of, unable to conceive
of the atmosphere or environment or cultural
habit and conventional habitat, the cave,
closet, box, bubble that any ONE of us might
be said to “swim” in—alma matrix.
 
Unaware. How could a fish know WET, for
crying out loud. Swimming in it, permeate,
pervasive, all soaking within and without.
 
It’s take something LIKE an  immaculate
conception (information from beyond) OR
hooked and hauled out of the wet to flip
and flop on a dry dock. The Trauma of
the ab-solut (out of solution)
 

 
The point:  how can we know anything
by itself, without contrast, comparison,
figure/background.  We swim in culture and
convention and convenience—unawares
Not even seeing it.  Or hearing.
 
Disobedient.
 
Go ahead and mess with my metaphor.
Come up with a better image to show how
we don’t know what we don’t know because
what we do know is so enveloping—our focused
schemes  eclipsing all the REST, know what
I mean.: the liability of lucidity. Counter intuitive
yes?
