I believe that dolphin thing was related to early research on LSD, some time before MK ULTRA. Bateson also worked on propaganda studies for the CIA apparently.

I had a professor who was very interested in the Palo Alto school (Watzlawick, Milton Erickson and others) and touted them as being very underrated at least in most of the world and also important for fields from psychology to semiotics. At the time I had no idea Bateson was associated with them as well. Maybe I had heard the name and thought nothing of it since I wasn't as familiar with Deleuze back then.

You're reaching /x/ levels with those last sentences. But I agree that there's a lot of shady stuff going on there.

Klossowski's book on Nietzsche was dedicated to Deleuze. Deleuze was a high schooler or something like that when he first met Klossowski, who was 20 years older than Deleuze. I wonder if there was any buggery or similar going on, given how sexual both of their works can be at times. Although Deleuze was more of a family man later in life so maybe not.

Not who you were replying to, but my question would be: what's the point of a plane of immanence if everything is already the same substance differentiating itself? Is the plane of immanence just an epistemological notion then?

I haven't heard anything on the topic for ages, but I think there was some famous book written by some friend and/or editor of his who made some claims about Foucault being enthusiastic about neoliberalism in his later years? I think I also read that those passages were misunderstood or something. It was all very convoluted either way and my faulty memory isn't helping.
