deleuze and [chat]tari

simonwolf

every so often in this chat I will be posting a quote from Deleuze and Guattari

there will be a prize for the person who best embraces the nomadic thought of the rhizome by the end of the chat

Thanks guys. We'll call an exterminator tomorrow to be safe but we haven't found any other one in anything and we've torn the house apart.

Hot take: continental philosophy is balls

I don't believe in human consciousness either.

There's awful continental philosophy out there and also some really thought-provoking stuff

The more I integrate the work of D+G into my own theoretical frameworks the more I appreciate the kind of approach they develop in A Thousand Plateaus

Geth roll 1d3 for what i should do after taking a massive dump

1. Play a bideo gam
2. Watch a Steven
3. Read smut comics about sex-having criminals.

I'm less interested in the stall-less toilet than I am in the fact that they appear to have installed urinals designed to work for a broad spectrum of genital configurations.

The trailer for the movie about P.T. Barnum is... hmm. On the one hand, it looks fun. On the other hand, I dunno how they're gonna do old-style circus-freak exploitation tastefully.

I think, being slightly more serious for a moment, that I have an aversion to continental philosophy due to my perception of its effort-reward ratio

Every piece of continental philosophy that I've read (which admittedly isn't that many) starts from such a radically novel framework both theoretically and linguistically compared to pretty much any other philosophical or scientific discipline, and requires a huge investment of time; even in my undergrad philosophy lectures, my lecturers warned me that to properly understand Sartre I'd probably have to read Husserl and Heidegger's key works first, and so on, and so on

I have a lot of stuff to read anyways! Unless continental philosophy is going to expand my mind more so than work from any other discipline, I would receive considerably more benefit by focusing on work from those alternative fields

@Elki I used the urinal in @Organichu 's post

I am not a brave man, and the experience was nothing short of harrowing

Masturbate instead of reading philosophy is my unironic suggestion

I mean, I think that's a fair assessment of how a lot of the chains of continential philosophy operate. I appreciate D+G more because of their generally stalwart resistance to those chains, and a more general desire to eliminate every last trace of Hegelianism.

My thesis's whole deal is making a case for studying media outside the aborescent line and set pathways of subject/object, signifier/signified, so of course I'm going to view that field as being more valuable than others.

I kinda hate patriothole because it's so spot on.

Which I guess means they accomplished exactly what they intended.

continental philosophy is insular to an extreme, but at the same time you can read analytical analysis of Derrida and Hegel and critical theory readings of Rawls.

As much as I believe in reading the original text, I think a lot of authors benefit from learning about what they are doing. Perhaps continental philosophers more than analytic philosophers.

You joke but I read Nietzsche the other day and he just attacked Descartes for just supposing an "I" all up in here.


Which is fucking fair. The shit ends with "thinking is happening". Going to ""I" think" is an assumption.
