Some notes while listening, very rough but willing to share: I stand corrected in the first lecture, as Harvey tells us he is not a philosopher in the...
Deleuze came to mind because of your mention of code, and his notion of code is the first thing I thought of. Given that colors are "in themselves" wi...
Cool. Thanks for the opportunity to think about Deleuze. It's a rare treat. I'm going to try to pick apart this sentence in the manner I started. if y...
I'd say that your proposal would count as a dyad within the series of code. . . . libido::will-to-power conformist::schizo Or, an alternate code libid...
I think the Body without Organs is one pole in the description of productive desire, where the Socius is the other pole. I agree that the individual b...
Well, that's not for me personally. But I'm OK with being the guy who measures how far the pup went. It is an exciting sport, after all, that brings p...
Got my account up and running at Action Network, and spotted the reading schedule as I was getting prepped for tomorrow. I haven't read yet, I was goi...
Theodicy in the abstract, perhaps, but I've no doubt that a theodicy complete with ethical calculation could be devised if proximity is the only diffe...
True. To be insane in this culture is to be excommunicated not from a personal religion, but from the civic religion -- one is considered unfit for so...
There's definitely many more steps. I think of code like a bike-chain, or a string of DNA/RNA, but more abstract -- which is why you can have desiring...
I'd say that this is the nature of human relationship. Commitment, what was, ideals -- the stuff of conversation, but not the stuff of a relationship....
Interesting tactic! I hadn't read, but having given that article a quick look-over-- To contrast the theodicy with "Every event has a cause" For all e...
I can say I've read him, but that has more to do with my eclectic way of gathering anything I can find that's related to what I'm thinking through (in...
I don't think the theodicist can be convinced, no. I'm not sure under what circumstances I'd say it's even a rational argument -- I agree with you tha...
Hrrmm... isn't it also the case, though, that there's been a lot of crossover between these two disciplines? I always find the two disciplines fascina...
This grabbed my attention -- as a means for understanding "code" one could say x::y However, I want to say that this is only a step in a code. So wher...
Right! (And aren't these speeches, in fact, somewhat magical? Pronounced man and wife, and with a kiss, a social bond is started) I think there's some...
See, this is why I wanted to mention Liberation Theology. I grant that orthodox Marxism, which I think Marxism-Leninism is the canonical case of (with...
Yeah, fair. I'm pretty sure we're all confused at the moment. :D I'm guessing we're using general terms in close enough ways that there's a sense of s...
Heh. OK. I am using "Marxism" broadly. Same with "atheism" with respect to states. Maybe it's the assertion that I'm OK with, but a causal link I'm no...
True... But I think I'd say this has more to do with the way we use words. I think the implicit claim, at least, is that since there have never been a...
I'd say the atheist countries count as atheist countries. So, in a broad sense, I agree with @"Hanover" The New Atheists had people in them who were j...
With respect to neoliberalism -- I can see the connection between economic policy and gun sales, but in addition to Heller (though that certainly coul...
After attempting to express a place for the atheist, I'm now tempted to preach for Epicurus. I think that's the extent to which I care. As the tetraph...
Hrmm.. I'm not so sure about this. Unless I get a raise I guess. That seems like the sort of thing the profeist pope would say: "I did it for the mone...
Good stuff. I'm particularly intrigued with where you end -- but I'm having a hard time digging in. I think I'm attracted to apatheism because it has ...
This line of interpretation is always super interesting to me. It reminds me of Hegel. I think I'd say that the atheist is skeptical about all of the ...
So Socrates, one might say, is the basis for philosophical reflection as an actualization of the process by which we can attain divine knowledge -- if...
So, for instance, atheism -- at least as a term -- is significant to me because it explains a difference between how I was raised, and how I am. It's ...
That was the phenomena I was trying to think of how best to put. I kept getting stuck on possible uses of arguments for different teams, but I think t...
Probably a discussion for another thread at least. I don't mind simply drawing lines or marking positions. From my background what you said just seeme...
Cool. Thank you. I'm hesitant @"frank" -- the language in those paragraphs is very market-centric. The forces of the market, while I don't deny them (...
A corollary of my understanding of history is that the best way to learn history is to keep track of what is said, who said it, and generally see wher...
Asking whose analysis it is isn't calling bullshit on you -- it's just a question, an inquiry to see more. You could say it's your analysis, and I'd b...
A standard analysis by whom? *** "Unions", for instance, isn't as specific as the AFL-CIO. And even supposing this big picture story is a true story -...
Heh. Well, I'll note that I'm also OK with just having different views. You certainly don't need to accommodate my thoughts, I'm only voicing them. Me...
Like removing a band-aid, or receiving a shot... I like your description of this trick -- attachment is as easily removed as it is attached. But that ...
I think for me the vivisection example is still enough. That takes one hell of a disconnect from animal suffering to be able to rationally do or obser...
Unfortunately, the Wiley article was pay-walled for me. Gone are my days from always being able to access anything. Cudworth is the kind of example I'...
