reccing this but it can take a while to really sink in

I just marathoned part 1 of this. Is all of Deleuze this fucking good?

not that guy, but Deleuze is in fact much more relative than your ordinary boilerplate relativists, which is part of his genius and enduring appeal. for him *everything* is a question of forces and intensities, and he gets some of this from you-know-who. that is what separates the bullshit postmodernists from the actually interesting ones. the bullshit ones always posit a lot more absolutism than they let on. the interesting ones recognize that even the enframing categories we use to talk about these things are just another form of reified Platonism. social constructivism is a way of actually shoehorning in old-fashioned master signifiers under the sign of relativism; it's actually just as modern as what it claims to be criticizing, which is exactly why we have the cultural war we have today.

start here. one of his best books, imho.
