i think my favorite part about Whitehead is the subtle implication that a lot of what we call philosophy are so many psychological attempts to grapple with the irreducible nature of physics. and yet neither art nor politics saves. what is required is a more encompassing sense of theology. science is a good look, but scientists too need to grasp the role played by perspective also. this is i think what is both hilarious and terrible about feminist glaciology: they're not even wrong. but left to their own devices, they will wrong-ify the entire process.

Heidegger knew a lot of this also. science ultimately is a product of instrumentation and enframing, and Landian BTC-driven teleoplexy takes this line of inquiry as far as it can go today. Land's perspective by the time he gets to Crypto-Current isn't even radical anymore, it strikes me as being absolutely normative. that neoliberalism finds its completion in the automaton isn't even all that surprising.

'the total relativity of the unconscious mind' is more or less the dilemma. it's not a question of who watches the watchmen; it might rather be a sense of skepticism about anyone who sets themselves up to be the watchmen-watcher.

they've got some good ones, it's just that quality memes depend on the size of the user base. /acc is still fairly fringe stuff. Nyx was trying to get slime molds trending not so long ago.

>This is love as a drug, the substance-abuse of love as a seeking of the mere object of its experience and thus the simulacric image of its resemblance.
desirers desiring to to be desired desiring. it's *orgiastic,* but therein lies the problem - at least one - with orgies. Baudrillard asked once, 'what are you doing after the orgy?' it occurs to me sometimes that, if it were a *really* good orgy, the question would be nonsensical, because there simply wouldn't be anything left. that is the whole point.

objectified love is what gets commodified, but it's ultimately self-commodification, fidelity to illusion, that destroys. it's why Smith might have been Cypher's reckoning, rather than whoever it is that incinerates him with the lightning gun. Smith should have been the one who deal with Cypher, because Cypher's cynicism is what has given Smith his own complex. the things that Cypher loves about the Matrix are the same things that Smith hates about it: the inability to distinguish reality from illusion. and *collapsing the structure of illusion itself* is not enough. what you want is something much more about the nature of your own desires: that is, that they stand for *calcified* love.
