side note: kriss was a writer i enjoyed reading for years but he has recently completely demolished his own life and future prospects after a story about his sexually harassing a friend of his got out. deleted his twitter, banned from labor, released by all the publications he worked for, the whole shebang. he's basically vanished from the earth. he was a pretty interesting writer, although i was surprised to find out that his parents were relatively well-off. the cynical response would be to say, well, of course: it's all guilt-ridden shit anyways, feminists are all hiding something, blah blah. i guess.

anyways. the world of desire and its discontents. maybe it's a better idea to think that all these things mean something more than capital and acceleration, however much theory is good at explaining how astro-fucked we all are by what we have unleashed on the world, and the only response to which appears to be critique.
>and shitposting
>always there is shitposting

so long as scarcity leads to violence and scapegoating - a reliable prop bet - the future looks bright for RG studies. it would just be nice to think that it might look bright for other reasons instead. how that might come about i have no idea.

>probably education or some shit idk

it seems to me a bad idea though to be waiting for revolution. maybe - to go back to extended cognition - empathy is a better scene. thinking about capital rarely leaves little room for that.

i think i used to be empathetic once. then money got involved, shit got real and i've sort of been in a confused place ever since. now my confusion comes loaded with jargon and weird references but i think it's the same as it ever was. which is to say, mainly just fear. except now i think things really only just get fucking weirder and stranger as capital wakes itself up and we get further and further from knowing why except to say, Wait For The Machines To Tell Us.

but it's all connected...and even the tiniest meatbag microprocessor can no more reject it all than accept it all. so wat do? waste life in meme wonderland?
