Thomas Nail defines a flow as a fundamental concept of ‘a new historical ontology of the present’: “Flows are an active and creative process that one ...
Time cannot be solely attributed to the primordial activity of mental faculties or the outcomes of the learning process. Such a position would inevita...
There is a paradoxical co-existence of time. On one hand, only the present moment truly exists. However, the nature of the present moment differs from...
Formally, you are correct, as the incumbent should have defended the status quo. However, let’s reconsider Reno’s lecture. Doesn’t his thesis—'we are ...
Space and objects co-exist momentarily; they are co-present. However, for us, the present time is shaped by the current virtual time horizons of the p...
I’m referring to a situation where a system of values becomes the foundation for large-scale political struggle. There is a threshold that separates a...
I would like to elaborate on the point that I believe Nietzsche’s style of value critique can help us understand the affinity between 'conservatism' a...
Thank you for sharing such an interesting lecture. At the 49-minute mark, Reno presents his thesis that 'we are on the cusp of a new era marked by a c...
Nietzsche is a philosopher of power who managed to conceive of power without relying on political theory. Foucault, rather than Deleuze, has become hi...

I support and share your emphasis on the synchronic dimension of an assemblage. I would even like to broaden this perspective by considering your exam...
It is a good quote. But one might get the impression that the molar level lacks autonomy and primarily reflects the derivative effects generated by th...
It looks like you place strong emphasis on the synchronic aspect of the assemblage, where all its workings and functioning are fully realized in the p...
I agree that various types of causality can be relevantly applied within different assemblages. Moreover, some causal relations can even be universall...
What should matter is how a particular theory functions, rather than the historical associations that can be made with it. Indeed, at a ‘molecular’ le...

Foucault's philosophy of language provides a compelling example of this idea. Let me begin with @"frank" quote: The assumed, precise meaning of each w...
Yes, it is interesting. Deleuze developed the concept of an open whole. It refers to a dynamic and ever-evolving whole, where the parts are interconne...
The pre-given whole exists prior to the emergence of its parts. The consistency and stability of its unity prevent the development or recombination of...
The assemblage theory helps to emphasize a social entity's contingent and constructivist nature. It allows us to conceive of it not as a unified whole...
It is a relevant brief account of recent U.S. history. I would just add that what you refer to as ‘oligarchy’ is likely an extremely complex agglomera...
You make a good point. The media will undoubtedly portray Trump’s administration as a chaotic mess of incoherent policies. Nevertheless, I believe tha...
Do you think that 'the whole 'MAGA' thing is a mess,'? If you think so, does your second quote explain why Trump won the popular vote and became the s...

The relation between the signifier and signified has become an object of a rigorous research and critique in some postmodernist theories of language. ...
Derrida wants to say here that the old ontological metaphysics, built around the notion of ‘presence’, is over. It means that the present that eludes ...
Overall, I share your position, and you developed a high-quality argument. I want to add a few remarks. You could strengthen your argument by emphasiz...
