He-who-shall-forever-be-intricately-named returns to the 2025 timeline with a triptych of singles, including ‘Lifeworld’. At first glance, the video seems to be like just another #corecore mixture of randomly synched imagery, but it actually refers back to the title. “Lebenswelt” is a banger from Edmund Husserl, referring to a layered but unified way of experiencing the world.
Here’s the quote, lifted from Wikipedia:
“In whatever way we may be conscious of the world as universal horizon, as coherent universe of existing objects, we, each "I-the-man" and all of us together, belong to the world as living with one another in the world; and the world is our world, valid for our consciousness as existing precisely through this 'living together.' We, as living in wakeful world-consciousness, are constantly active on the basis of our passive having of the world... Obviously this is true not only for me, the individual ego; rather we, in living together, have the world pre-given in this together, belong, the world as world for all, pre-given with this ontic meaning... The we-subjectivity... [is] constantly functioning.”
Did I create this post because I like the song? Definitely. Did I also do it to make a gratuitous “every day I’m Hussrl-ing’ pun? Possibly.
