“Can’t we just not think about such things.” She said matter of factly. “What is it with you and this need to always know? Can’t imagine your knowing helps settle things anymore than to guess.”

“That’s just it, though! You can’t imagine how my unsettledness bleeds into it all.”

*indistinct muffling*

“Not so sure I have ever been satisfied with these small moments. There, this teasing reminder is and it creeps up with me becoming dauntlessly petrified - struck with loneliness at my separate existence; that to others I am just dust in their wind. How entirely subjected I feel to this external process. You don’t feel important. Not even to your self. At some point you become next to nothing.”

I live next door to a 53 year old mentally ill man. He used to have a room mate but he was arrested because he was using meth, went crazy and tried to assault my neighbour with a hammer. I told him this would happen, as the roommate was both an imbecile, as well as a habitual heavy drug and alcohol user and as a result had the brain damage that comes with it. I can hear him next door, he is coughing every few minutes because he is smoking the dried resin from his many plastic bongs to get high because he cannot manage his welfare pension more than a day or two after he gets it every two weeks and has been broke for a few days now. I am considering murdering him because no one in the world would care or be negatively affected by it, and I’ve always wanted to take a life.

Oh definitely I’m like the guy who had a fake anxiety attack on camera. I’m no criminal mastermind, I’d absolutely get caught. I’m not trying to be a tough guy or edgy or anything I just kind of reflected on the bizarre anger I felt when I hear him coughing and smelt the disgusting resin smoke.

I always thought that the idea of "cultural appropriation" is fake and gay, but the more I think about it the more it kind of makes sense. But obviously taking inspiration from other cultures isnt a bad thing and there are times when its done very respectfully and tastefully but also times where its not, and what separates these? And the conclusion that I came to is that cultural appropriation is only bad when you use it as a crotch for being uncreative, for example there are a lot of wigger rappers that come off as being really cringe and distasteful, but then there is someone like yung lean, who being from Sweden, was much more disconnected from any rap culture or tradition than an American wigger, but when he took up rap he shaped it in his own way, and created rap from a perspective that it hadnt really seen before. Its all just a matter of doing it tastefully really, no wonder wogs get mad at stoners wearing dreads or music festival goers wearing those native American things, those are simply crass and distasteful.
The response I used to have to hearing anything about cultural appropriation would be to say something like, "well maybe they should stop appropriating white culture if they dislike it so much". But this response is stupid because it goes both ways and a lot of the time when non whites adopt white culture they do it really annoyingly, think of the pretentious high caste Indian who comes to England and starts speaking like a faggot. Westernization can happen tastefully and I think Japan is an example of a culture that did this.

I give up. I hate everything, and everyone. Nothing I do works and every time I try to improve I give up or fail. I'm tired of faking my personality to get girls/friends. It works but it's not worth it. Slaving away for other people infuriates me and pretending to be happy for family relationships is torture. I failed at life, please just leave me alone. When I talk to people about this they just say "you need to improve yourself, make changes, put effort in". Changing your personality and opinions to make people like you is fucking gay and seeing other people do that is infuriating, because everyone fuckign does it. I don't want to put in effort for a life that I barely enjoy while watching others just live life and pound puss and go to work without hating themselves with minimal effort. It's not worth it. I wish I could go about life without questioning "why, what is the meaning of this?" every 2 seconds. Some people aren't supposed to make it I guess

Pt.1
Well, most restaurants are closed. I don't feel like eating pizza or pasta or any of that. I wanted some Venezuelan or Mexican, some of which are open, but out of reach, and it's late and rainy (when it should be snowing... how depressing. A winter with three snowstorms where the snow melted the next day.)
I'll just drink PBR for dinner. It's a liquid entree with a side of excessive pissing and liver damage. The dessert is liver failure.
As if I'm gonna cook up, literally: rice, broccoli...and that'd be it. No spices. I have a can of tuna, but ick! Maybe add an egg? No. I'd rather not eat. I usually do a poor man's combo of rice, veggies, chicken, beans and cheese, but I work too late to hit the grocery store. Like I'm missing much anyway. Fuck I am an insanely frugal peasant. Anything to not be broke.
It's become the norm for people to ask me if I'm okay. Usually twice a day at work. I'm upbeat at times, but when I'm down I'm Eeyore. I'm Eeyore but physically fit. Fitness means nothing.
I've been trying for a month now to pull myself out of this hole. This hole of what? Idk, manic depression? Oh that term's no longer in popular use. Bipolar II? That's just a term that means you match up with certain symptoms, or better, characteristics, literally by checking off answers on a questionaire to see how you score (you often don't need to even take a questionaire). Same works for depression, ADHD, Borderline, etc. It's all a sham and a word game that helps pharmaceutical companies keep and expand their enterprise. So no wonder the DSM is getting bigger. Pretty soon, jaywalking will be a mental disorder. People will be given Lorazapan to stop jaywalking, to heal themselves of their "error", their "mental disorder."
Pfft! Fuck all that. I look at my life and I see that I'm the most likely outcome of the life I've lived. I'm exactly as I should be, because of my life. There's no 'disorder' other than the natural chaos, disorder, of Being. Bad luck. Misfortune.
And to try to mask that up with medication? Eh, you can put gauge over your scars but it won't heal them.
So I don't take meds. I do self medicate. Alcohol. That's literally it; no other recreational drug use. I only drink at night. Sometimes, lately, on my days off I'd go on lonesome benders. I stopped doing that because I think it added to how bad I feel. It fucked with my physiology, making my body weep at the intake and return to 'normalcy' was very taxing on how I process feelings, leading into side effects after I regained my usual schedule.
I hit a new low a couple weeks ago. Without giving direct detail...I'll say I was surprised. Have you ever seen a parrot in distress? They pluck their feathers out, harming themselves to feel relief from the frustration of their being. A new low.
I'm certainly 'better', but only by decimals, and altogether I'm just kicking my feet at this life that is beating on me like I'm a slaughterhouse cow.

Pt.2
It amazes me how my problems are the toughest problems. It often feels selfish: introspecting to come to a conclusion about myself. I figure out myself anew everyday. It's all so boring and torturous. It's as though I can't shovel to the foundation of myself and be sturdy there, build from there; or, I build everyday and am exhausted from the weather ruining my sense of self.
Meanwhile, any issue someone else has is like a fun and meaningful boardgame to me. I solve their problem, or moreso hint at certain moves that should be taken in order to alleviate their problem.
It leaves me in that state of, well, that Neitzsche quote, which I'll paraphrase: 'Here we are in shackles. I have the keys to your locks. And because I have the keys to your locks, you suppose I have the keys to mine?"
I start to gag at the reality of hanging oneself. It's just another unpleasant feeling. Okay, so it's a burst of pain and then relief? Is death a relief? Do the dead answers questions? If the dead answer questions, they only do so symbolically, in dreams, in occurrences strange and unavoidable. As much as I'd like to kill myself to leave this place, there's a fear of 'staying' after death that makes it all seem too much of a gamble.
While being a conscious entity on earth, at least I'm surrounded by people who 'know' that's just what we are. And at least, if I do keep on living until my natural death not taken by my own hands, I'm aware of the vast possibilities of that death, though they're given to mystery.
Suicide is the easy way out? It seems a bit more daunting than that. You kill yourself then you're dead. You're dead...but what are the dead? Inanimate. No longer moving. Thinking. Feeling. Seeing. Hearing. Smelling. So that ends but does it end? When scratching nails at that surface, too many questions are raised, and too many questions have no answers.
That's why I joined the US Military. And you should too! Find a recruiting office near you!

Philosophy and religion are the hammer with which our brain is tenderized. Their only purpose is to prepare us for frying: when it comes to cooking, the Hammer of Deep Investigation is put aside. What do I understand by cooking and frying? A wordless decision: whether you look at the world with happy or with unhappy eyes. "Good or bad, everyone is redeemed," is one of those hot frying pans for which a lot of meat is hammered. When someone talks about fundamental issues, you can hear the fat sizzle behind the hammer blows. "The Buddha says this, the Buddha said that," wham wham wham – and inbetween the blows: "Rejoice".

Hegel laid out the fundamental laws of dialectical thought and Marx put it in the context of the economic question. In every dialectical analysis, the main contradiction that arises is a conflict between two corresponding extremes where the tensions and contradictions must be resolved, which then creates a new whole leading to progressive change.

It still was the same as the original, it had same turquoise glare and the same taste, it even burned in the very same exact way as the original. It is in almost in every way just like its template, a perfect copy. And among the countless other copies and originals, I forgot its name.

you could've replied to the post but instead you're a schizo start's started talking about walmart as if i'd somehow excuse them? am i supposed to sit down and list every single corporation i disapprove of because you're too autistic to figure out i chose the most popular one to make a point?
also, importantly, there's more to amazon than just the commercial aspect, they literally provide services to our security agencies
and more importantly, amazon is A SCAM
amazon was not a profitable company (and i'm not sure it is even now apart from certain areas) and the only reason it could exist is because people kept dumping money into it
and the reason they kept dumping money into it because amazon held the promise of basically taking out any other competitor and establishing a monopoly
if you don't think that's behavior that is psychotic and should've been shut down by the government immediately, i don't know what is
we have gone from a system where corporations existed by making profit to one where they exist by taking rent
it is not that they offer better services to you so that you buy from them exclusively
and it's not that they hold a monopoly over a particular product so they can squeeze you
it's that they take complete control of the market as amazon does to the point that amazon is the actual market

>you don't order from barnes and noble, walmart and target instead of amazon not because those places are more expensive with slower shipping but because amazon is a rent seeking monopoly?
it is a rent seeking monopoly by definition, the fact that it offers better services depending on what's being sold in no way changes that
the question is what the cost is for those services being better
if a restaurant is giving you meals that cost half-price for 10 years until every other restaurant in town runs out of business, just so they can buy their spaces and then ramp up the prices when they have complete control, you probably should've stuck to the normal restaurant

that's such a psychotic view that i don't even know what to say
so the cost of how you get to the low prices and free shipping doesn't matter? it doesn't matter if it makes the country worse?
i also don't know why low prices would matter if you aren't a poorfag
technically we should aim for standards of living where basic goods would not put any financial strain on you
>not putting some local small businesses owner's kid through college
this is just pure projection and delusion, unrelated to anything we're saying
i would rather have a store in my town run by a local than a corporation, you know why?
because the chances are that even if it's more expensive, that guy is going to be spending that money at other places in town, including my own establishment
that is literally how a healthy economy works
what you get instead with corporations is foreign capital that's paying shit wages to the locals that are poor as fuck, extracting all that they can in profit, and then spending that money in already wealthy foreign states like california
>also cities are filled with small businesses aka "bodegas" and they are all dirty and overpriced
so because the one time you went outside you went to a shitty small store, that means we must support complete evaporation of small businesses and give it all up to an international megacorp?
you are so retarded that it's incredible
btw what happens when the handful of megacorps that control everything decide you're an undesirable and stop refusing you service?

For some context, I wrote this bit when I was still a freshman, (so 15/16 if you forgive the poor writing) in HS. I journal periodically, and was reading through some past entries; the mind has been jogging since then. The writing is shit, but the sentiment is there.

>But, my dream was about this girl I started to notice in English class. She sits directly to the right of me, and probably has a massive crush on me. Really kind of cute, brown hair, relatively pale skin, very distinguished features In the dream, that I barely remember, context tells me she was a GF or something. It's getting difficult to remember because this dream ended well over 12 hours ago. But what I do remember, is walking with her, and she holds onto my waist with one hand, and and kind of uses me as a crutch to help her move, because I remember feeling the weight of her person, but then I moved my hand into the same position by her waist ( if that makes any sense ). Then she stars wholesomely laughing, in response to what had just happened, and we continued to walk while carrying each other’s weight. But this is when it happens, I start feeling super happy, like drugs, kind of happy.

>I just have this amazing feeling rush over me as I hold this girl’s, knowing she loves me as much as I love her, as I could feel the warm, smooth, and soft pale skin, and then the dream ends. I wake up, and for a split second of ignorant bliss, I think to myself, that I cannot wait to go see my wonderful girlfriend, and feel that again, I could not wait to hug her, and pick her up and hold her close, and see and feel her love for me.
Reality then kicked in, and I realized I had no girlfriend, and had no one to hold, and those feelings were just artificially produced in a dream. That rush just evaporated, leaving a depressed shell of what once was. I could feel the oppressed and ignored pit, drain and feel as raw as a new wound.

That dream messed me up for a good few days after that.

If they own properties and charge rents, they aren't. If they participate in the standard American pension system where some of your salary goes into 401k so you have some money when you're old, you are. Marx did say that the material conditions change, but the distinction is still existential and decides whether your entire livelihood depends on being fired by your boss tomorrow or actually owning means of produciton to make money without depending on your employer.

People like you who use "middle class" to mean "bourgeoisie" are just watering down the distinction and contributing to creating internal class struggle.

I think it shouldn't because most people still don't own any means of production and it's what unites us. If you saw the GameStop event, people joined from all over the world and all parts of the internet because the hate that wagies have against the elites transcends borders and ideologies just like Marx said. The power of this distinction is that it harnesses a natural source of unity that worked then and continues to work now. When people start attacking a random wage-earner for being "bourgeoise" because they have a smartphone and goes to starbucks, they just fail to realise that living standards changed but the distinction remained. There just aren't that many factory workers anymore in developed countries, but wealth inequality is only increasing.

There's a sense of thrill to large-scale developments like the telegraph and railroad infrastructure. You mentioned before that mankind is uniquely able to create- they expend that effort on what is most-easily conceptualized. You're right that it's all a vain and spiritless endeavor, but the pursuit itself is enjoyable, even if it's at the expense of mankind's spirituality. The pale hope seems to be that solutions can be found that will someday allow men to focus on spirituality, but you and I both think that the "solutions" instead catch men in the cogs of the machine, thereby destroying their connections with nature and spirituality.

Sadly, even in spacious America I think it'd be incredibly difficult to find each household the room to homestead in the way you describe it. It seems that without colonizing the stars, mankind will only expand on each man's sovereignty, stealing their space and freedom in the process. This can only go so far until mankind breaks its respect of sovereignty and culls the weak to make room and hardship once again.

I just came so very close to shitting myself. when I finally made it to the bowl it felt like I shat a fat eggplant. amazing how much a sphnicter can stretch. I feel completely exhausted, this was a real ordeal. I walked about 5 miles. starting at around mile 2 I was negotiating with myself whether it was acceptable to shit in a bush or not. ididn't want to wipe with snow, that was probably the main reason I kept going. I almost went once, I was gonna go down by a little stream by the path, maybe shit into the water, but as I went down I saw that I would be visible so I went on. By the end I was stopping every 50 meters or so to just clench my butt (maybe to give my sphincter a rest? physiological question). Now thank God all I have to do is rest.

Fuck I want to feel the warmth of the women, I've gotten to the point where we were about to do something and just spilled my spaghetti and folded although I got her to take the blame. I just don't understand the dynamic behind it, how people move from kissing to fucking, I've kissed someone but never made out. I don't get it and my inability to convert my swindles over a women to some sex has just crushed my wanting to try anymore. I'm becoming more and more anti-social I have not seen my friends in some years and made some new mutual friends that I'm scared to see them in person. Idk what to do man, covid although giving me so much time has actually killed my motivation, sure so much time but I don't even go outside and work out, I hardly go out. I am damaging my brain badly with this lifestyle and I don't know how to fix it.

Every time I start a book, I stop reading it 1/3 - 2/3 of the way through. Well, for non-fiction at least. Too often I feel like, "Sure you're right I agree" and there's no point in finishing once you get the gist of the author's message. I enjoy learning about the world but I won't have misgivings that my knowledge of things will have a huge impact, or that I need to remember the supporting evidence for X after I've decided the argument makes sense, and I'd rather just roll with the conclusion. It varies per author though. Some will sum up the entire book's message in the intro, and my urge to stop once I get what he's at is pretty high, while fiction always demands you to finish by necessity I think. It's my laziness talking, but those are my excuses anyway

When I was in high school I took a french class and one of my grandma was french. So she would call me and talk to me for hours with me and my father. She would ask me what we were doing in class and all. I already knew french from home so that class was a walk in the park. She was a passionate reader and had rooms after rooms in her house filled with books. She would send me one by the mail after speaking to her on the phone and then when she would call again she would ask me to summarise the book to her. So since I didnt read the book I would start improvising and invent the plot and say a lot of inventions. She would laugh and she sounded amused. Back in the day I had a feeling she knew I was making it up but now in hindsight I perfectly know she knew that I didn't read the books.
I feel a bit bad tho guys. Now I love reading and I would of love talking to her about french litterature. And also I lied to her about reading what she would send me. Yes it was innocent but still maybe she thought those books were good and helpful for my young spirit to grow. What would I do to find what she use to send me and I would read them to honor her and pardoned my lying sins.

I reconnected with an old crush after many years. We got along well and she openly expressed her willingness to enter a relationship with me. I was enthusiastic but I realised long term, our relationship is perhaps untenable. We come from different cultures and she is irreligious and I am not. My family is important to me and my mother and sister outright said they do not approve of her so after a lot of mental anguish, I decided to let her go. I don't know if I love her but it's been so hard. Of course I could get over my future orientated thinking and just enjoy the moment but we are 24 and perhaps it's not time for purely aesthetic love anymore. I think there is a difference between entering a relationship with marriage being a distant but entirely possible one and one where that option is very onerous. I think she would take me back since we ended on good terms I think...but I still maintain it would be too selfish of me.

I have developed a multi step plan in order to get a slavic gf, hopefully a trad virgin one, if not I also have more backup plans

Plan A: Teach english in russia near rostov, I would also take the one hour bus ride to ukraine often and approach women there

Plan B: Im applying for a russian scholarship that pays for your school, housing, and meals in russia, you just need some money for clothes

Plan C: If for some reason I can get a physical teaching english job, which is possible because the virus, I would get one online, save then move, salary for both is 1k a month

Plan D: This is the code red/nuclear option, join the russian or Ukrainian military, you get citizenship after some time in both, specifically the navy/sailor looks good

Plan E: Lets say I spent xyz years in russia and cant find an actual good girl, then I would convert to islam, go to chechnya and find one there

Im obsessed with slavic women, such plans are much much more detailed but these are the basic summaries, if im being honest im the most confident in the TEFL job

Leavis stresses energy as a chief quality in his great novelists. ‘They are all distinguished by a vital capacity for experience’ (p. 17), he says; and he speaks more than once of the ‘energy of vision’ (pp. 29, 232) that relates Conrad to Dickens.

However admirable the pursuit of beauty of form and style, an addiction to art too often masks an inner hollowness of human significance, Leavis feels, citing Flaubert, George Moore (pp. 16-17), and much of the late James. Similarly, Joyce’s ‘elaborate analogical structure[s]’ represent a ‘dead end’ (p. 36), for they too signify an intensity of art for art’s sake, and not for life’s sake. For Leavis the noblest art deals with the stuff of human experience; the truly great writer creates a vision of life; and the energy of his vision is a moral energy. The art of the great novelist is distinguished by a ‘marked moral intensity’ (p. 17). Evidently life in Ulysses is at the mercy of art.

having a crisis of confidence lately. i've been working on something that's pretty experimental, but it feels experimental in the wrong way. it seems bad, like bad writing. but that's partially the point. i've never read anything like it, and from there one of two fundamental assumptions can be made:
>what i've written is unique and genuinely new
>what i've written is so incredibly commonplace and neophytic that it has no novelty to anyone but me
and i don't know which is which. there are some very real criticisms that can be laid upon me. i know this because i make some of the best ones myself -- the hate you can only muster up for yourself. at the same time, there are bits and pieces interspersed throughout the utter fucking nonsense which i think are some of my best work.

this is kind of the part where you sack up and have some confidence, right? because i'll be goddamned if i don't, on some level, love what i'm writing and believe in it.

I think my mom is slowly figuring out that I more or less don't think I learned anything worth knowing from her as a child, and that I've found I have to spend my early adulthood re-schooling me because in a lot of ways she never raised me, that I basically think she's a satanist without a culture. That I am actively searching for ways to live that will make it so that my family will not be like the one she failed to raise, that she is not a role-model, that I do not believe in whatever it is she believes in, that she instilled nothing of value in me. And I think that makes her very sad, which feels somewhat unnecessary to me, I don't think I really care that way. She brought up a weird thing from my childhood kind of out of nowhere, trying to highlight it as some moment where she taught me something, and I remember that moment but I firmly remember not having understood shit about what she was trying to say. It was some saying she had throughout my childhood which literally never made any sense to me at all. I was talking to her about what teachings I'm reading now, and she brought it up like she had something meaningful to add, and I got really uncomfortable because the only reason I can think of for her to bring that up would be for her to sort of air the idea that she would have added anything to my moral upbringing, and I really don't think she did, I think she was a confused satanist, and so I just kind of placated her because I was uncomfortable and wanted to say something that would stop her from going down that route in the conversation. But thinking about it now, if that was how she felt, that must be a bottomless sorrow in her. That's just sad as hell. I literally started studying moral philosophy and theology because I realized that my parents had given my absolutely nothing that was going to help me in the face of real problems, so if that is what she thinks, she is right. I think I have to come up with a good lie if it comes up again, there's no need to make her sad.

I was publishing 2-3 stories a year before I hit my junior year, and now that I'm stuck in analysis/critique classes to hell and back, everything that I write is going through 100 filters and I'm finding it impossible to be creative. I think I'm falling into the academia trap.

I used to read multiple books at the same time and that was the reason why; however now I'm better at having one main book, and yet I still only finish a book once every month or so. I think I'm still spending too much time online, reading too many articles & browsing FB and 4channel instead of focusing on my current book.

Why is it that proponents of universal subjectivity almost always seem to be secular moral dogmatists? Subjectivity doesn't entail anything specifically, so they can do this. However, subjectivity doesn't logically entail secular progression, in fact is entails nothing, so anyone can do anything. Of course, they would agree, but as soon as something happens against their favor, instead of fighting back, they use the faulty emotional argument of logic and ethics and eventually resort to name calling. As in, it is only in the perceived absence of objective morality that they are able to establish a 'counter point' morality. Is this what they call slave morality, manifest? And why do the most scathing voices of this idea - they guys that can dump and essay about (I'm not trying to engage in a left/right argument) left-leaning ethics - seem to be effeminate males who are likely to be on the autism spectrum? I know I'm right. But I want a second opinion.

He plans on live streaming him hanging himself or going into a shooting spree. His justification is that his book is his only purpose in life and the final act is a way to gather attention to it. He compares it to a son and the sacrifices parents do for its sake. He clearly thinks only about the end and not the journey until there - and that, as you said, is what makes us real humans.

Then I realized that everything that would lead up to the event was somehow more meaningless, because I was looking at the whole thing as a function of something else, as being subservient to some end. Don't live towards a finale, because you'll find all the lights have long been turned off and you'll be acting in the dark.

“Art is meaningless,” says Baudrillard. He explains that “There is a mutual annulment of art and reality. Before, they used to potentialize each other, now they cancel each other out.” Distinction between reality and fiction becomes blurred. Image becomes real. Simulation colonizes the mind. The foundation is built on ideological dispositif exerting power to promote the capitalist hegemony. Capitalism is maintained by images, simulation, and held together by situations. Thus, an abundance of situations concerning capitalist narrative may be revealed. Debord uses the term ‘spectacle’ to denote a capitalist totality. Creating situations and images to break the illusion is the way to challenge the submersion. Once we achieve the freedom to think we have to think clearly. After achieving clarity, an idea of ourselves are no longer trapped in an idea of capitalism. If one examines semioticist dematerialism, one is faced with a choice: either reject the capitalist paradigm of discourse or conclude that the most potent weapon of the poet is deconstruction, accelerationism, and situationism.

Land, Debord, Baudrillard, Zizek infused and influenced solutions. All explanations emphasize the moment of truth. Each approach is correct in its own way. I believe these interpretations have worthy critiques. We have to abandon the fantasy of the ideal future. Future is occupied by artifacts. It is assumed that our abilities to abandon the fantasy of the future will be available once we develop our ability to utilize weapons against the occupying power. Extend the maximum of our capacities to create situation before capitulation. This will give us the possibility to make a economy for our own sake, to open a possibility for socialization, to coopt capitalist culture and creative powers. The danger is that in our social ecology we're born into a reality in which this class is no longer oriented only towards capital but hegemonical dominance. We're in crisis, isolated, atomized as we have been subjected to by capital. This crisis can no longer be acted against via the instrument of the institutions of old. We must accelerate them to their knees and break the fourth wall, the lull with the absurd and dissonance, manipulate the images, institutions, narratives, apparatuses, and situations holding together the capitalists rule.

[Anonymous No.17431060]

Space has been a preoccupation of philosophy since its beginnings. From a from a political point of view, this question essentially relates to the territory and the territoriality. Now, if the philosophers, from Plato to Gilles Deleuze, have looked at the territory, they have left in the shadows an equally immediate constituent element that is the border. It is therefore necessary to go through a conceptualization of the problem boundaries in order to understand their role in the construction of space in general and political space in particular. In this perspective, it is necessary to clarify the different categories of space that make up our immediate experience. We let us indeed start from the principle that it is not a homogeneous reality in itself; that the the feeling of unity associated with it is in fact the result of a synthesis on the heterogeneous data. There are several forms of space, each with their own own terms and conditions of limits. The first of these forms is a material space independent of the one humanly and politically inhabited and constituted. In this hyletic space there are successive layers each representing a variation of the hyletic space. scale in the matter itself. Each one represents indeed a step in the passage from a micro level of existence to a macro level of existence of matter. In this space, there is strictly speaking no limit. This is what we have been able to show Spinoza and Bergson. There are no real cuts in the material. However, there are a certain number of boundaries, i.e. areas of intensive switching, sliding between different modes. If this limitless space is not politically and humanly constituted and immediately significant, it is the necessary element on which will be based the successive strata that will be used to form our experience of space. Each stratum is organized in a way particular with a limit shape of its own.

[Anonymous No.17431075]

These strata; although they organize and absorb a certain materiality; have a tendency to run away to a ever-increasing degree of abstraction. However, they are still in the need to capture a certain amount of material. There is a synaptic surface between the hyletic space layers and the constituted strata. This surface is a technically produced pre-political space that we call soil. It is the condition of the seizure of the material by the stratified spaces. On this floor will construct the following strata: individual space of perception; the territory individual; a social field; an economic space; a discursive space and finally the political territory itself. The first step is to define the modalities of production and existence of each of these strata to understand their forms. limits. Each boundary form is both the closure of the stratum and an interstrate that allows communication with other strata. Any limits must also be the possibility of a synthesis. For the perceptive space exist the limit in the strict sense and the horizon as defined by Bergson. That is to say, on the one hand, the fixed separation between two objects and on the other hand the limit of my capacity of perception. The second stratum The individual is the territory in the sense that Deleuze and Guattari defined it. In this case, the boundary function is presented as a fence with a signature. In these two modalities of the individual space, there are already issues at stake. the question of the meaning of private property and the question of the meaning of private property. the appropriation of the land. The next stratum is the one in which the individual relationships; i.e. the social field. This exists first of all as a abstract hierarchical space of group arrangement. However, it cannot be dispense with material anchoring on the ground. The geographical arrangement of these groups social reflects in part their disposition on the abstract hierarchical field. It is related to the functions that a company grants to each group. The actual borderline forms which result from it are thus the functional axes which attribute their functions to each group within a certain period of time.

[Anonymous No.17431109]

In "What is Philosophy?" The first question and first definition: Deleuze and Guattari extend a Braudel's question by asking how geography to determine the philosophy. Braudel indeed asked the question of how philosophy is determined. geography had determined history. Why does it appear in Athens, what is its genetic relationship with Greece. It is a question that already had a lot concerned Hegel and Heidegger. This still involves the question why philosophy is fading and tending to disappear in favor of theology in Medieval Europe and how it reappears with the development of capitalism in the same geographical area. There is here the assertion of an influence of the social and political organization on the possibility of the existence of philosophy, but the importance of purely geographical conditions to this process must also be stressed. possibility.

If Greece is an environment conducive to the birth of philosophy, it is that it is a fractal peninsula. The sea is accessible in a short time from any point of the territory of the city. This fractal coast allows a relative deterritorialization on the sea. The organization in democratic cities makes it also possible this deterritorialization and the reterritorialization that accompanies it. This double movement has the characteristic of being horizontal, unlike empires. Oriental that border it. These empires impose a vertical reterritorialization on the body of the emperor as socius as they had already demonstrated in The Antioedipus. If these geographical movements are not sufficient to constitute the philosophy, but they are a condition for its emergence. If philosophy can 61 to appear in Greece is that the absolute deterritorialization of thought can take the relay of the relative deterritorialization of geography. "There is always a how absolute deterritorialization on the plane of immanence takes over a relative deterritorialization of a given field.

[Anonymous No.17431123]

This is because there is horizontality in the first one that it also exists in the second one and that the reterritorialization can be done on concepts. If the concepts cannot appearing in the great oriental empires, is that verticality imposes the form as a religious or mystical mode of thought; wisdom rather than wisdom is the philosophy. The social field no longer refers, as in empires, to a limit of "interiority. the top, but to immanent inner limits that do not limit it to the stop moving by enlarging the system, and reconstitute themselves by moving. The external obstacles are now only technical, and only the internal rivalries. A global market that extends to the ends of the earth, and then to pass through the galaxy: even the air becomes horizontal. It is the utopia that will make the extension of this deterritorialization on the plan of immanence of the thought. "Philosophy brings to the absolute the relative deterritorialization of capital, it makes it pass on the plane of immanence as a movement of the infinite and the removes as an inner limit, turns it against oneself, to call for a new land, to a new people. But it reaches the non-propositional form of concept where communication, exchange, consensus and opinion are annihilated. It is thus close to what Adorno called "negative dialectic", and to what the Frankfurt school called "utopia" as "utopia".

Indeed it is the utopia which makes the the junction of philosophy with its time, European capitalism, but already also the Greek city. Every time it is with utopia that philosophy becomes political, and leads the criticism of his time to the highest degree. In this ratio between geographical condition and philosophy raises the question of the role of boundaries and borders. The first role of geophilosophy is therefore to draw the junction line between a concrete geographical location and the very possibilities of thinking philosophical. And this position produces a break with the philosophies of history. This approach acknowledges the existence of history, but the difference between the two is that it is not the same. fundamental is in the elimination of historical necessity and in the affirmation of the that this story is contingent and understandable in this geographical framework.

It is a recurring antidialectic theme in Deleuze and Guattari. "Hegel and Heidegger remain historicists, insofar as they posit history as an form of interiority in which the concept necessarily develops or unveils its destiny. Necessity rests on the abstraction of the historical element rendered circular. The unpredictable creation of concepts is then difficult to understand. Philosophy is a geo-philosophy, just as history is a geo-history from the point of view of Braudel. This is therefore a first meaning of the term geophilosophy for Deleuze and Guattari. Leaving the historical model to bring out its conditions from a model space.

[Anonymous No.17431140]

However, a second sense of geophilosophy must be found in the work of Deleuze and Guattari. They will develop a theory of becoming. Becomes are a concern of Deleuze's from the Logic of Meaning. But then, they are still treated under a time category. Deleuze distinguishes between two temporalities: the aîon as the pure present and time of the event in the continuity of the definition of eternity for Spinoza or eternal return for Nietzsche; and chronos as the temporality of the becoming which is traversed in its two senses that are the past and the future. The futures are also theorized as a logical category that intervenes in the processes of production of meaning.

Starting from the Anti-Œdipe, in its first works with Félix Guattari, the future takes on a strong dimension. space in interaction with the problems of territory. They replace history and become mainly geographical. This is also what will be discussed in the notion of geophilosophy as formulated in chapter four of What is Philosophy? The question of the future will be posed in terms of territorialization, deterritorialization and reterritorialization. This is, moreover, what will allow a geophilosophical analysis in the first sense of the term. They depend on the constitution of a territory, the means of leaving and returning to it or to the contrary to constituting a new one. It is in the question of the territories and the deterritorializations that the geographical form will be able to emerge from an analysis geopolitical conditions that allow the emergence of organized thinking following this or that type of plan as a response to historicist philosophies.

[Anonymous No.17431142]

The constitution of what Deleuze and Guattari call a schizo-analysis is going to be made on the geographical modes of becoming, according to a "topology". It consists in to clear diagrams and to map desires and movements of intensities. The territory is not understood simply as a pure entity space, whether it is social, political or unconscious and pre-subjective, psychological or existential, the analysis of futures is a geographical analysis that exceeds the framework of the territory in its classical definition. All becoming is geographical, because all becoming is at the same time deterritorialization and reterritorialization. The two movements are never totally separable; the first implies always the second.

The existential and topological scope, or properly, the existential space are always inseparable. Displacement in space and displacement in the thought are inseparable. The desire that leads to the becoming is always in connection with the social. The future therefore always has a social and political dimension. The analysis of the future therefore always has something geopolitical. The analysis nomadic movements and the war machines likely to accompany them and the analysis of minority futures always has something to do with space. The schizoanalysis which is proposed in L'anti-Œdipe leads to a cartography of the become through which are formed the subjectivities that mix the analyses of the segments that run through the social space and those that run through the body and the body-organ. Deleuze and Guattari's second meaning of the term geophilosophy is also that of an approach which aims to try to understand the interactions between social, political, thought and organization of subjectivity.

After a long day of work, I turn on the heat in the basement and open a book for a while. The basement is a rather nice place to read. You usually don't partake in alcohol while studying, but occasionally I'll pour a glass of red wine to add some zest to the experience and broaden my perspectives.

It's been weeks since I last spoke to Lena. It must have been something I said. We got along well always and had little problems talking to each other for the time we've been talking. I met her in my college art class. I've wanted to make her my girlfriend and we have a lot of chemistry and tension, but ruining the friendship concerns me.

We kissed at a party pre covid whilst drunk, and the awkwardness from that experience has turned me off from making further moves. Now I worry I have alienated her, as I am quite in love with her. Is it a real crush that I worry I have ruined? Or is it a feeling I don't realise that's a crush on? It will certainly make things awkward if I confess this to her. It's not going to be an easy conversation. I have shown myself to be a friend and the closeness will cause her to reject my advances. It's good to talk to her. She is very pretty, and I hope to one day have a sexual relationship with her.

It’s the notion of the hero, the individual which has driven Western culture for so long and for so many different reasons. This explains, in part, the left’s (and particularly socialists) disdain for ‘traditional values’ in society and the current media vilification of the working class white man. The working western man is the driver of progress and bulwark of conservative Western values, which resist the revolutionary aspirations of communism.

I've always found the adage 'be yourself' troublesome. And I get the hatred that incels have towards that phrase. It never really made sense to me largely because I don't really know who I 'am'. I don't feel like I have any fixed sense of identity, at least not one I can clearly trace out the outline of. But as I grow older I start to get it a little more. 'Be yourself' doesn't apply to the big things, because the big things are things you should change. But in the small ways I am growing more comfortable with 'myself'. As in, my attitude to life and conversation, the way I see things and phrase things. If someone has an insurmountable problem with my approach, it's probably true that I shouldn't change myself to please them. I'm a big believer in self improvement and if there are things about yourself that you want to change, then you should. But those parts of you that feel 'right' should remain.

Anyway. The self is ephemeral. Trans people don't exist. We're all gay and language is a big puzzle that you fail to solve each and every day.

she's second generation progressive left-winger. I believe she thought she was equiped, on her own, to stand as moral guardian for her family, without the need of any God or really any cultural markers at all, just her, her imagination, her arrogance. All of human culture stopped before her, and she had to build anew from the ground up. It is satanism to believe that one is capable of such an enterprise. As I said, I can't think of anything she has taught me that I carry with me in my heart. I don't even really have concrete memories of her from my childhood to be honest, she was like a ghost that was just there, doing whatever adults do. If I ever get married I want a far more traditional arrangement, I do not believe that second generation progressivism produces healthy, well adjusted human beings. I can't even understand how she functions to be honest, what it is that she values that makes her tick. It might be sex. Sex and the fact that her children still talk to her.

>the fact that her children still talk to her
I think she might have wanted to imply that I needed to talk to her less about theology because she felt I was trying to influence her. I was not, I can sort of see how it could seem that way. The problem is that there is nothing good whatsoever in my life that does not have a theological root, so if I can't talk to her about that then she is asking me to close the door to my heart so she can be comfortable talking to- what? Some kind of paper cut-out that nods at her stories? If I can not talk to her about anything that is rooted in theology, then I can not talk to her about anything in my life. It is a duty to show her respect, but if she does not wish for me to mention anything about how I view life and what is worthwhile then she asks me to be a mirror for her until she dies, and nothing more. She would be asking me to give up all individuality, she would be asking to be spared from having a relationship with me.

I just realized that it's completely unjustified to accuse politicians for being a "hypocrite" because their lawmaking contradicts their own behaviour and that this is actually a sign of the best politician since he has the objective good in mind and doesn't measure everyone by his own moral shortcomings.

people get upset when politicians try to restrict alcohol or cannabis usage and attack them by saying they are a hypocrite if they drink or smoke themselves in their private lives as if that was an argument against the law itself. But this is the basic is-ought gap and someone can know if something should be a good law while not acting towards it themselves. That makes the politician a bad person but a good lawmaker.

I just needed to dump a bunch of words somewhere. I think the real tention is that she thinks religion is inherently problematic, I think she is against my being religious. I think neither of us is really showing the other proper respect. The only reason I talk to her about this stuff is because it is what is happening in my life and to let her know the good that I see in it. If she wants to be a part of my life then this is it. I think she hoped it was gonna go away with time, but it doesn't look like it. If that causes tention then that's gonna be a problem.

Having someone you love is a tricky business. For one, it's a feeling like no other. There are no substitutes. You can fill them with pets and drugs, but it will never beat true love. It always existed as a concept to me until I found it, and when I found it, it wasn't what I thought it would be. I can't say for sure if what I experience is what was being sold to me. We don't go out and do interesting things or have interesting lives. Dedication to love is purely dedication to someone else over yourself. She factors into every one of my decisions, and I forgive her for everything. You never truly know the other person loves you. You only hope that you've said it enough times before one of you eventually dies. Speaking of that, I often imagine her dying. A frequent meditation attempting to gain deeper appreciation. If I've learned one things, it's that you won't always love them every day and every minute. A good deal of moments arise where I never feel more alone and want her out ot my life. Yet, the thought of losing her would tear me to the bone. I wish the bitter anons could see what I see now. God know I acted exactly the same. Perhaps deal with life not being entirely in your hands and make a move before there are none left. That's all.

>After the stage of heterosexual object choice has been reached, the homosexual tendencies are not, as might be supposed, done away with or brought to a stop; they are merely deflected from their sexual aims and applied to fresh uses. They now combine with portions of the ego instincts and, as "anaclitic" components, help to constitute the social instincts, thus contributing an erotic factor to friendship and comradeship, to espirit de corps and to the love of mankind in general.

>It is not irrelevant to note that it is precisely manifest homosexuals, and among them again precisely those that struggle against an indulgence in sensual acts, who distinguish themselves by taking a particularly active share in the general interests of humanity - interests which have themselves sprung from a sublimation of erotic instincts.

Freud said that repressed homosexuals have a greater love for their fellow man and this manifests in exaggerated concern for society and other man. This can extend to extreme collectivism/tribalism such as nationalism. This can also be taken to the extent that homosexuals will feel a more intense bond with other men and prone to passionate emotion, making them easily malleable to sacrifice their life for a cause in a war or for an ideologue's ends. The repression also leads to increased paranoia, which also attracts them to extremism.

Plato also said something similar about how an army of same sex lovers will share a sense of camraderie and love which will make them more effective fighters.
