>your abstractions are worse than speculators notepad files
how dare you. i spraycan all of my posts on the sides of bridges before i even think of transferring them to notepad

>however you legitimate your views, real power will choose and implement what is to be known and what is worth discovering.
i wonder if real power knows what it's doing tho. if it's intelligence explosion, ok. if it's intelligence explosion twisted through a lot of meatbag unconscious haunted by crazy dreams and mortgages, maybe kind of. i'm not sure what the relation of reality to power is. my guess is that it's a lot more complicated than we know now. the real power you're referring to has nothing to do with anthro-politics of 2018, that's for sure. if you're referring to Land, sure. that's true, in a sense.

>the opposition to any acceleration is a natural force that revels in the sacred violence of existence.
violence is not the sacred, and the sacred is not violence.

>your lives as philosophers are to me the same as the abstract painters in that I might turn my eye to a strange scene or even look over an interesting historical fact or two, but who cares about these channels, these agents of self-deception who crave so much what I give that I may choose amongst them, make them my own, and then forget them
>just as history will forget the sides
>as in the mad pressure a crack appears or a piston turns, and I move on
that's quite poetic, really. i'm fine with this. was unironically worth it to read this

>I believe it was "adjacent possible" along with a bunch of biology we're likely to want to make sense of next. I mean, while time remains.
what did he mean by this tho

good book list, also. very nice. don't really know where else i could put this image, so i'll put it here.
