so one of the main themes of the story is the ongoing transformation of what Hegel calls Spirit, Marx calls Capital, and Land calls Teleoplexy. that is the real thread, which runs all the way from the micro/interior all the way to the macro/exterior, as far as i can tell. it encompasses not only theories of the unconscious and *their* transformations - Freudian, Lacan, Deleuzian/Spinozistic - but is also reflected in the ongoing story of technology and how *it* has been understood historically, culturally, and so on. so however this image is going to be conceived or imagined, it has to be done in a particular way...

and with Stiegler, there's both an Oedipus complex and an Epimetheus complex. but i also like YH's desire to think about a Qi-Dao relation: and that is, really, sort of what M:TG aesthetics are all about, in a way. Qi-Dao is an interesting relation between form and content that isn't the same thing as Order vs Chaos (or, even more poetically, Light and Darkness and so on).

i would, of course, be thrilled with any kind of visuals or things that might be supplied, but i don't think they're really all that necessary. we certainly don't lack for aesthetics as it is in the age of tumblr, and really, once you read and absorb some of the Big Guys - Hegel, Marx, Heidegger, Deleuze - you'll see that none of the stuff we're talking about here is really even that remarkable. it can seem a little heavy at first, but after a while it just kind of falls into place.

but yeah. in a sense, the main thing - and maybe we can call it by a much older term, that being, Logos - is neither reducible to any of these expressions (Spirit/Capital/Teleoplexy) but includes all of them, and no doubt will be revealed to be, in the long run, much more interesting than any of these terms. but what little of that we can talk about is Cosmotech for now.
