God anxiety really is the killer ain't it

I just read Olga Ravn's 'The Employees' and it was really, really good and it could be considered science fiction.

Ann Leckie is on my list! Broken Earth was only OK for me.

Tchaikovsky has some interesting ideas. I've read Children of Time and Alien Clay but fuck he cannot write.

Who are the biggest contemporary SF writers? Tchaikovsky and Weir. Both just atrocious writers.

Reading Project Hail Mary and its such an affront to writing. I'm mildly offended.

Oops! All cats

It is but the first step

Becoming-imperceptible is inherently anarchic in it's movement. It is the modus operandi of sustainable organisational form as opposed to the bombasticness of the mass party.

but conversely society must be like water around fish; it needs the complicity of the entire surrounding society)"

the secret society cannot live without the universal project of permeating all of society, of creeping into all of the forms of society, disrupting its hierarchy and segmentation; the secret hierarchy conjugates with a conspiracy of equals, it commands its members to swim in society as fish in water

D+G:

"every secret society has its own mode of action, which is in turn secret; the secret society may act by influence, creeping, insinuation, oozing, pressure, or invisible rays; “passwords” and secret languages (there is no contradiction here;

"The Revolution emanating from all points should not, and must not, depend on a single directing center. The center must not be the source, but the product; not the cause, but the effect of the revolution."

We, on the contrary, must awaken and foment all the dynamic passions of the people. We must bring forth anarchy, and in the midst of the popular tempest, we must be the invisible pilots guiding the Revolution, not by any kind of overt power but by the collective dictatorship of all our allies [members of the anarchist vanguard organization International Alliance of Social Democracy], a dictatorship without tricks, without official titles, without official rights, and therefore all the more powerful, as it does not carry the trappings of power. This is the only dictatorship I will accept, but in order to act, it must first be created, it must be prepared and organized in advance, for it will not come into being by itself, neither by discussions, nor by theoretical disputations, nor by mass propaganda meetings... If you will build this collective and invisible power you will triumph; the well-directed revolution will succeed. Otherwise, it will not! ! If you will play around with welfare committees, with official dictatorship, then the reaction which you yourself have built will engulf you ... who are already talking yourselves into becoming the Dantons, the Robespierres, and the Saint-Justs of revolutionary socialism, and you are already preparing your beautiful speeches, your brilliant “coups d'états,” which you will suddenly foist on an astonished world...

Bakunin;

"The secret must sneak, insert, or introduce itself into the arena of public forms; it must pressure them and prod known subjects into action. ... A secret society always acts in society as a war machine."

couldn't come up with better PR for transgenders than "underground transgender mafia successfully heisted 12 tonnes of Kitkats"

One thing is needful. -- To "give style" to one’s character-- a great and rare art! It is practiced by those who survey all the strengths and weaknesses of their nature and then fit them into an artistic plan until every one of them appears as art and reason and even weaknesses delight the eye. Here a large mass of second nature has been added; there a piece of original nature has been removed -- both times through long practice and daily work at it. Here the ugly that could not be removed is concealed; there it has been reinterpreted and made sublime. Much that is vague and resisted shaping has been saved and exploited for distant views; it is meant to beckon toward the far and immeasurable. In the end, when the work is finished, it becomes evident how the constraint of a single taste governed and formed everything large and small. Whether this taste was good or bad is less important than one might suppose, if only it was a single taste! Nietzsche, The Gay Science, §290

The longer this goes on the more I turn into a Baudrillardian

Dating is interesting because you get to really understand people's insecurities, their toxicity. Not of the person I am dating, of course, but of those around you. The warped ideas that people have about relationships, love, romance and vulnerability is wild. Everyone tells on themselves.

What even Deleuze scholars tend to ignore is that Deleuze thinks pragmatism is cool not because it’s an alternative to socialism but because, if it’s being honest, it’s *also* socialist—especially clear in essays like the Melville piece in “Critical and Clinical”!

“Whatever hermeneutic violence you unleash on [the] image should be no greater than the violence you unleash on the real world.”

—Munir Hachemi, Living Things

So that the messianism of the nineteenth century has two heads and is expressed no less in American pragmatism than in the ultimately Russian form of socialism.
