one thing tonight was I shared a poem with friends and we each joyfully explained which parts stood out to us the most. we all had different takes and it made us each rethink the whole. laughter, reflection, respect, learning. sociality around art prefigures communism
yes! DM me
I am teaching a seminar on Anti-Oedipus in Chicago this June! this text is near and dear to me, one of the first works of theory that profoundly reshaped my thinking, so I am excited to dive back into the delirium and do some deterritorializing. join us! thebrooklyninstitute.com/items/course...
finally someone is doing something about the scourge of Platonism
thank you I don't even know what this joke means but sometimes that's the way of the world
they're calling me the Clavicular of continental philosophy
the times are not really that unprecedented you're just a little baby bird stepping on an old rake
I want to quote like 70% of the posts on this site with "I know nothing about history"
'K-shaped economy' sure is a stupid and obscurantist way to say 'capitalism'
I miss when the president did war crimes and killed innocent civilians in a respectable manner
can't believe some of you persist in thinking that God has free will. it's like you don't even believe in divine perfection bro
it is hard to describe how disgusting and insane the NYC trash problem is and NYC people have been like 'there's nothing you can do about it, it is what it is, sorry you can't handle how real we are' for 50 years. this isn't socialism but it took a socialist to simply solve the solvable problem
dooooo it I did!
when our flesh burns we will only vaguely take notice, our souls already long since cauterized
obviously the truth is that the predictor and chooser are both determined to act as they do since both are effects that follow necessarily from the absolutely infinite essence Deus sive Natura. practically speaking this means open whichever box you want and be glad you get at least a thousand bucks
yeah nice, this is what I've mostly done so far, and it's productive but limited. decommodification itself seems to lack explicit conceptualization except in negative outline
outside of Polanyi and Gøsta Esping-Andersen, what are the critical or essential texts on decommodification as concept and political strategy? asking for a friend (my own self-guided and unfunded research project that will certainly never result in anything publishable)
anecdotal, sure, but especially lately the correlation is impossible to miss that the most articulate, thoughtful and engaged students are the ones who take notes by hand during class.
now me personally I think that if anything I should be paid less. my work is dogshit and I do not believe in rights
without endorsing or advocating any recent activities on the part of working people against criminally rich billionaires and their antihuman corporations, I note that the 'peaceful protest march' era seems to be coming to an end and I guess we will just see which approach is more effective
I love thunderstorms and I always will
decommodify everything
it's such a layup and the dems are going to absolutely botch it and kill us all
misery limitless
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HAND IT TO HIM
I'm so fucking tired of this boring ass nazi shit
this is obviously correct but it does also risk mistaking feature for bug about what white evangelicalism is
Ben's work has been so consistently good for so long that I expect this will be a definitive document on Christian zionism
this is false. dozens of librarians have told me to kill myself
god bless beautiful comrade @lastpositivist.bsky.social for figuring out how to respond to that insipid Bentham's Bulldog post on continental philosophy in a way that is not only an even-handed rebuttal but also genuinely thought provoking and delightful sootyempiric.blogspot.com/2026/04/ther...
