As ‘freedom is to learn’ they are…

The Resistor

Probably.

I don’t dislike it, I heard it and thought it was me, granted I also heard polymath and cried out in need, I think it probably sums it up but I want so much to be more than the emotion of anger. To be more than a simple emotion generally, but resistor. It’s a delight of a term. It’s highly specific, isn’t it?
Enormously so.

I couldn’t comprehend Nigel ever attempting to encapsulate our essences without an excessive amount of careful, deliberate and exaggerated thought. He simply would not be able to do it, it would be fundamentally impossible and as such I think the term requires further deliberation.

Resistor (n.)
Late 14c., “one who resists;” 1580s, “that which resists;” agent noun in Latin form from resist. Late Middle English: from Old French resister or Latin resistere, from re- (expressing opposition) + sistere ‘stop’ (reduplication of stare ‘to stand’).
To hold out against, to make a stand, to stand for something? To revolt against Empire.

It’s a revolutionary, defiant, simmering figure that, in actuality, perhaps I can’t live up to. Am I that encompassment of the Philosophy of Defiance? Am i this magnificence or am I denied access to those behind the gates of the archive of resistance?

But, in the knowledge of Caygill’s to /Run or Resist; or Rather Neither/, I’m not sure. I really don’t know. I’m definitely looking too far into this but that’s truly all I am.
The “‘philosophy of defiance’ marks a stirring and striking break with the prevailing philosophy of resignation.” It’s a refusal of that resignation, never being accepting of this moment, of the prison cell and its window, in this instance, i believe him to have cut to the quick.
“Some inexplicable feeling warned me that the rebellion was fading, flagging, was about to turn into the path and disappear. It would be made into epics. I looked at the resistance as if it were going to vanish at ay moment” Jean Ganet, Prisoner of Love

Granted, if I’m not the resistor then awks.

Quote Dump:
“an ‘affirmative capacity to resist’, understood as an ability or ‘energy’ that links traditional virtues like courage and fortitude with a readiness to hold one’s ground, whatever the cost and for however long it takes. Fully committed resistants are those who dedicate their lives to the cause they embrace, to the point of effectively laying it down in advance and of thereby assuming the position of being”
