I think I may have understood the "Substance as subject" and viceversa aphorism

Hello there!!

I'm quite euphoric, since I think I may have finally understood the "Substance as subject" Hegel so frequently mentions.

During the dialectic of reflexion, both appearance and essence are shown to be "split". Appearance indicates an essence, which conceals by way of concealing. It seems to lead to an essence, but the essence is this inner split, the fact that the essence is the split between appearance and essence, which makes appearance essential.

This shows that Hegel goes further than Kant, since, for him, there is no Thing-in-itself, for already knowing about something unknowable is far too much. There is nothing beyond representation, the only thing beyond representation is the fact there is nothing beyond representation. Nothing is beyond phenomenality.

External reflection is characterised by the fact that essence is alien to itself, and split because of that. Essence shows itself immediately as something alien to the very essence. This is what makes it possible for us to see the distinction between essence and appearance, for if essence weren't split, if essence didn't also show itself as alien, the "mere appearance" from which we start wouldn't even be a product of all of this reflection.

This is why we must think substance as subject. In order for there to be a substance, the substance must show itself to be external to the very substance itself. This movement, this thing alien to itself is the subject. Therefore, substance is subject, and subject is substance.

I do not know if I may have oversimplified or misunderstood this, so feel free to correct me!

How would Descartes think of the G spot given the pineal gland?

Hello there!

I was thinking that, given that the pineal gland is the point in which the two substances meet, wouldn't it also function as a sort of G spot as well?

Hello there!

I do not know why, but once I export my videos out of Resolve and view them either on YT or the multimedia player connecting my laptop to my monitor through HDMI, there are instances in which sudden shifts in hues occur. One second the greens shift to greens with a slight cyan tint and then back to the original green. Does anybody know what could be the cause of this?

Thanks a lot.

Hello there!!

I've recently started to use Cullen Kelly's "Genesis", and I wonder if there's any site or list in which all film negatives and prints are listed and show their look.

My problem is that I would like to have a place in which to determine which out of all the film stocks has, for example, a blue tint and the green and cyan dessaturated without staring endlessly at the more than 40 options the tool offers.

Thank you for your time.

Hello there!

I am no professional at all, but I regularly shoot some short films (if you can call them that) with friends. Anyway, pulling focus and not having waveforms on my camera is being quite annoying, so I'm looking for a monitor.

I've got a very lightweight camera (a6700) and I tend to shoot outdoors quite a lot, so I'm looking for something near 2000 nits. I was thinking of the Viltrox dc-x2, but I've been told to get the atomos shinobi 2 and safe some money to buy it.

Any suggestions from you guys that may be useful?

Requirements:

  1. Bright screen for outdoors

  2. Either 5" or 6" at maximum

  3. Preferably, 200€, but I know that's difficult, so I can go up to 400€. Not more, unfortunately

  4. If possible, I'd like it to be lightweight

  5. Touch focus would be nice, but not mandatory

Country and currency: Spain, euros (€)

That's it, thank you!!

Hello everyone!!

I shoot sony apsc and I love 28mm (40mm equivalent in full frame). I've got the Viltrox 27mm F1.2 and I've decided that I'd like something manual. I've seen there are many 28mm, and I do not know which one to pick.

My priorities are good build quality and not a lot of weight (sub 400 grams at minimum). Decent sharpness would be nice. I do not mind slow apertures.

Anyway, would any of you mind tell me which 28mm to pick and how does Voigtlander's nomenclature work?

Thanks a lot!!

Oh, by the way, I shoot landscapes and portraits. Just in case it helps for the suggestions.
