>Feminism between Fish and Future AI: A Geotraumatic Critique of Posture

>For a long time in the West, the horizontal has been championed by feminist critics of philosophical rationality as the exemplary mode of non-patriarchal, discursive and sensory styles of counter-subjectivation. This critique often takes the form of an indictment of the auto-reflexive, solipsistic, and self-sufficient ‘neo-liberal subjectivity’ (to borrow a term from Adriana Cavarero’s Inclinations) inherent to the vertical construction of what has been posited as a properly ‘human’ way of founding autonomy. But has it also fallen into a set of traps that see its committed horizontalism recapitulating the very form of the arguments it nominally understands itself to be fighting against?

>Part performance, part theory, this talk seeks to complicate this basic, biaxial political geometry in two ways. First, by interrogating the distinctions it implicitly makes between the vertical and the horizontal in order to show how traditional forms of biopolitical and social critique threaten to repress a more complex, feminist understanding of biological and material thought. And secondly, via a theory-fictional performance work that combines contemporary digital art practice and additive manufacturing technology to communicate with a deeper substrate of simultaneously archaic and futuristic artificial intelligence.

These. Fuck off from muh STEM, you vampiric charlatans. I've seen people abuse philosophy in this manner too, the most abundant is saying something is 'metaphysical' when it clearly fucking isn't.

I don't understand how these people don't kill themselves out of shame and self-disgust, they have absolutely nothing in them, no thought or skill or knowledge or originality. It's exactly the same as """innovative""" entrepreneurs nonsensically spouting engineering and economics buzzwords/terms, both are deceivers and devoid of anything in themselves. They may as well be shadows. They're like a formless blob operating along a directive, assuming anything and everything in a vaguely structured manner. They're literally the simplistic AI we have today, they have no thought or understanding, just emulatory use of bits of info they've inferred are somehow 'key'. Truly the best example of an NPC if they were ever one.

Also, this has been happening for a while. I think Deleuze made it trendy. These people -- including Deleuze -- cannot be considered intellectuals of any sort, arguably they're anti-intellectual. If you want to be generous, they're a kind of artist, if not, then they're just death-of-thought promoting charlatans, the worst of them, really, as they've promoted and cultivated a culture of charlatanry within academia itself and within the notion of intellectualism.

It can be surmised as: nonsensically/incoherently/uncontextually/wrongly using terms from everywhere, but generally the intellectually prestigious or relevant, is a valid substitute for actual thought. Throwing about nonsense basic terms in mathematics/physics and getting a rise out of their contemporaries (and 'internet intellectual' retards, usually students) only shows the ignorance of the whole lot, if such words invoke notions of prestige and weightiness.

"Horizontality" is a fashionable meme concept among jurists, sociologists et caterva here in Brazil who think releasing our prison population on the streets would be a heroically humanitarian gesture, and not the completely retarded and disastrous gesture it plainly is.

In order to do so, they use the same kind of embarrassing abstract, latinate words OP's greentexted quote is infested with, because to defend it in plain language would be impossible. And everything that can not be defended in plain language is not worth defending.

Whatever the hell she is talking about it is fucking pap and you know it. "Horizontality" is a fashionable meme, it's the kind of shit a pseud can write an entire verbose, quote-heavy thesis about and get applauded for.

Seriously, read this again:

>For a long time in the West, the horizontal has been championed by feminist critics of philosophical rationality as the exemplary mode of non-patriarchal, discursive and sensory styles of counter-subjectivation. This critique often takes the form of an indictment of the auto-reflexive, solipsistic, and self-sufficient ‘neo-liberal subjectivity’ (to borrow a term from Adriana Cavarero’s Inclinations) inherent to the vertical construction of what has been posited as a properly ‘human’ way of founding autonomy. But has it also fallen into a set of traps that see its committed horizontalism recapitulating the very form of the arguments it nominally understands itself to be fighting against?

There is no thinking going on here. She's playing with Lego bricks. Fancy Lego bricks: "Non-patriarchal, discursive and sensory sytles of counter-subjectivation." That's a fine load of smartypants words right here, and coordinated in an impeccable syntactitcal arrangement. Each piece is in the right place. What a smart girl. "An indictment of the auto-reflexive, solipsistic, and self-sufficient ‘neo-liberal subjectivity’", "inherent to the vertical construction of what has been posited as a properly ‘human’ way of founding autonomy." Again, what a mistifying stream of hundred-dollar words. And you gotta love the "human" between quotation marks there, human is precisely what this kind of writing is not.

But what do I know, I'm just a country bumpkin. I'm sure there is some dizzyingly penetrating shit being said here that I'm failing to grasp.

I reread the thing and she seems to be criticizing "horizontality" and the heretofore orthodox pinko feminist ideas as a whole, so I take it back. She could use more human-like prose, though. Her very face in the picture seems to be reacting in horror the jargon in the text.

I still can't make sense of the second paragraph, and I won't bother to read it again, but the idea "communicating with a deeper substrate of simultaneously archaic and futuristic artificial intelligence" sounds like she wants to summon ancestral chtnonic forces into some super-computer.

Different anon,
the whole first section is just "we live in a society" combined with a pretty undeveloped critique of liberal/kantian individualism. All of this could have been more clearly stated in terms of social relations and the effects of culture on the individual, but these points are obscured by the autistic geometry analogy.
>biaxial political geometry
Anon please tell me in good faith that this is anything other than posturing.
The second part appears to be saying that the paradigm outlined above is an oversimplification.

This is an idiotic critique that doesn’t pan out when you actually examine the texts themselves.

That image doesn't make sense to me. By focusing on survivors they automatically only include those that are victims, so of course they won't lie that they're victims. It doesn't talk at all about those that aren't victims, but instead claim to be.
If they talked about women in the first part instead of survivors, perhaps it would have more validity as a scientifically-testable statement, but as it stands it is just a feedback loop of terminology.

Her set up is clear enough; feminists characterize bad stuff as all belonging to the category of ‘the vertical’ and oppose that with stuff they consider ‘horizontal’, but in this effort they have come to repeat a lot of the stuff they ostensibly stand against because that dichotomy is insufficient to capture the problems at hand.

What I don’t understand is how it’s possible that an artistic performance can do anything like give us new understanding which solves that problem. I had a gf who’s was telling me for weeks that she was working on some question relating to trauma and knowledge but when she showed me the finished work it was an abstract video art piece and I can’t say it gave me any new insight into trauma. I don’t get this approach to the humanities. Maybe it’s my “logocentrism” or some other thing like that but for better or worse I’m trapped in a mode where political ideas need to be conveyed with words, not abstract art, for me to understand them. If somebody could help me on this I’d be forever grateful.

The study that people cite that claims that only 4% of rape accusations are false actually claimed that only 4% of rape charges ended up being false.

Philosophy has always been associated with math, insofar is it trained when to think without reference to the senses. This is why one was not allowed to study at Plato's academy without a thorough understanding of mathematics.
