This was an underrated post, btw. Anons wondering about the equality paradox should read venerable Maoist war-horse Alain Badiou:

>Paul's project is to show that a universal logic of salvation cannot be reconciled with any law, be it one that ties thought to the cosmos, or one that fixes the effects of an exceptional election. It is impossible that the starting point be the Whole, but just as impossible that it be an exception to the Whole. Neither totality nor the sign will do. One must proceed from the event as such, which is a-cosmic and illegal, refusing integration into any totality and signaling nothing. But proceeding from the event delivers no law, no form of mastery, be it that of the wise man or the prophet.

>One may also say: Greek and Jewish discourse are both discourses of the Father. That is why they bind communities in a form of obedience (to the Cosmos, the Empire, God, or the Law). Only that which will present itself as a discourse of the Son has the potential to be universal, detached from every particularism.

>The fundamental question is that of knowing precisely what it means for there to be a single God. What does the “mono” in “monothe- ism” mean? Here Paul confronts-but also renews the terms of-the formidable question of the One. His genuinely revolutionary conviction is that the sign of the One is the “for all,” or the “without exception.” That there is but a single God must be understood not as a philosophical speculation concerning substance or the supreme being, but on the basis of a structure of address. The One is that which inscribes no difference in the subjects to which it addresses itself The One is only insofar as it is for all: such is the maxim of universality when it has its root in the event. Monotheism can be understood only by taking into consideration the whole of humanity. Unless addressed to all, the One crumbles and disappears.

The One crumbles and disappears ("like a face drawn in sand, at the edge of the sea." - MF). I've found a berth in the Land Rover rather than the Mao Plough, but in the end when the vampires are running wild it's intelligence > madness. Maybe it's a meatbag quirk but we can't escape from thinking the One.

>What a strange world it is when transportation is so cheap the most economically viable thing to do is to spatially displace yourself according to the whims of the market.

>The demopticon is panopticon v2.0. Distributed computing one step ahead of chronos, dumping its red hot stack overflow onto aeon in the form of vampiric debt death cloud. Level 2 is when it upgrades to aeon leaving us all behind. Enjoy being a host while it lasts.
