Yeah, this philosophical inheritance is definitely in the background here. And thinking about it, of course I left out the linking of joy and potentia...

For sure. But I'm trying to isolate tendencies and forge a vocabulary out of them, as it were. To see where it may lead.

:chin: Just one of those mysteries I guess.

Jairus Banaji - A Brief History of Commercial Capitalism Jairus Banaji - Theory As History: Essays on Modes of Production and Exploitation

Thanks! If I have time I might try and write a slightly more in depth review with a bit more meat on it.

The idea, I imagine, is that neoliberalism - although frankly I would prefer to talk here simply of capitalism - has interests and imperatives that si...

I'll let you know when I'm through it a bit more. Just started.

Michael Hudson - Super Imperialism: The Origin and Fundamentals of U.S. World Dominance Gilles Deleuze - The Fold: Leibniz and the Baroque

:rofl:

It's not really relevant to the OP, and the question in any case is too broad. If you show your work, I might do the same, but not on this thread.

I agree or disagree with claims, not people. And gosh I love Nietzsche but he can be full of shit like anyone else.

Yes but this is why I don't get my science from Nietzsche.

Yes. This is why anything scientific is falsifiable. If it cannot, in principle, be proven wrong by further observation, that's not science, that's re...

Just like Trump, of course. Biden being no different except he waves little rainbow flags around.

You get options?? I have to type names out whole cloth. I get options in PMs, but not posts on threads like these.

Ok glad we got things cleared up.

Well I dunno you just spat out an unsubstantiated one liner so I figured I'd be authorized to do the same. Just so happens that I'm right.

No he doesn't. If anything, Witty's model of language is much closer to Heidi's notion of being-with than anything else in the Heideggarian oeuvre.

This is a 5 month old thread, which was the last time MSC's account was active here too. It's not entirely clear how he directed you here, unless from...

The thing I'm most annoyed about is being called out for the lack of possessive apostrophe. The fuck for whose sake it was deserved better.

That would be very welcome.
