The machine teaches you how to generate the rhythm, though. The machine is the master that the pupil surpasses. In this case, considering an abstract ...

Thanks for defending Absurdism. Camus gets a bad rep, partially because of Sartre, because he postulated that philosophical pessimism was just simply ...

Yeah, I suppose that's the case. I'm, perhaps, just ultimately a little too paranoid.

I like what you have to say about this, but still contend that there are apparatuses of social control. Deleuze and Guattari came up with abstract mac...

It's so very like how it is, but it does have it's moments.

I figured that it was Gus. Gus seems like a certain character depiction of mine, but I think is probably pretty alright. I'd doubt that he's in league...

I just deliberately put what out there I thought could alleviate the recent plight of Nihilism within the Anarchist movement and didn't want for it no...

You can have this thread back now.

Nihilism is born out of extreme social alienation and it is tragic that it is, but I fear that you give it too much ground by highlighting the poignan...

I try not to be too condescending towards Nihilists, but that is what Existentialism is. They'll bring up Renzo Novatore or some other obscure, probab...

I've spent a lot of time thinking about what waitresses think about as a dishwasher. Managers often don't like what I did to feel welcome among the st...

I don't think that you're correct about this, but it doesn't have anything to do with innate femininity. Women have more of a need to analyze social r...

In a way, they're all in on it. It's why they just never want to let me bail. They're afraid that others will follow. Others will follow, but we will ...

...international relations, racial injustice, environmentalism, all of it. Mistake this not for a plea for radical change. Radicals play part and parc...

I suppose that we should try to have faith, shouldn't we? Should we?

There are other circles and sets of society for the word to travel in, though. Perhaps, I'm just being overly defensive? Let's hope that it doesn't be...

That was what I was referencing. I'm kind of like a pool shark, in a way. It always seems like I'm just kind of out there, when I can be fairly percep...

So as to leave off here, I'd say that an apparatus is akin to cult pathology. Pathology can be compared to a set of ideas that become as if they were ...

I haven't actually tried to organize a protest, and, so, don't think that I could. I did leave art in a bunch of places, stage a series of "Industrial...

This is as much of a rhetorical question as it a plea for legal advice. I am an Anarcho-Pacifist with a former interest in Communization and there see...

The contemporary Anarchist interpretation of Nihilism is somewhat dangerous. In Blessed is the Flame, Serafinski highlights a poignant poverty to resi...

The first message transferred over the Baltimore-Washington telegraph line was "What hath God wrought". This, to some, may seem as a historical curios...

I like the general sentiment of what you have expressed, but am not entirely sure that it applies. In so far that there is social control, something o...

For all of the critiques there are to make of Marxists, it's not as if they never have perceptive ideas.

Situational awareness is definitely key. I know that I often forget that there are conclusions that I have drawn because of the thought I have felt a ...

I read some Habermas ages ago, but can't remember any of it as of right now. Maybe I should look back into it?

Though I am not trying to perplex anyone, I can understand that I might. I'm glad that they generate interest, though. I think that social deviance ki...

I like your description of an apparatus. I've included my warning against believing in the metaphor too directly as I went quite mad a while ago and s...

That's actually a pretty good idea. I suppose that I'll just have to organize my thoughts.

Fair enough, but I am just leaving this thread open to a conversation as to what I have highlighted as Cybernetics. As I don't think that anyone else ...

Okay.

Those right-wing intellectuals have just been making a joke about how it takes forty years for them to figure out what they've been up because they ju...

I guess that I'll just leave you all with that, I guess. In so far that no one else responds to my thread on Cybernetics, I'll say, "so long!" So long...

Upon discovering systems theory, I finally got a certain joke about quote unquote French intelligence.

In a way, the actions of the LPA were kind of like the Hippie plan to levitate the Pentagon. What, as theatre, such an act shows people is that suspen...

I haven't actually read this text by Giorgio Agamben, the text where this idea is outlined by Michel Foucault, and am somewhat hesitant to use Gilles ...

The idea, I think, is that social control is primary to socio-political activity and that it is primarily maintained through the regulation of the rhy...

You're not incorrect, but there's a certain poverty to that line of reasoning, though. You spend an extraordinary amount to time to produce some great...

I also wonder if Cybernetics is the correct term. What I am attempting to describe could be considered to be akin to Biopolitics, but I don't think ha...

Okay, but it says right there in the article that Libertarianism originated in Anarchism.

I'm just going to continue to elaborate on this as I, at least, feel like I'm onto something. When a-political types take a jab at the politically-min...

The problem with Capitalism is that it rewards shameless opportunism. While I'm only discounting so much as to your claims of Rockefellers, what I'm s...

I'm sure that this law firm, given what information we have of it, has had a fairly decisive influence over American politics. Previously, however, yo...

The sheer number of plights that have been created because of the so-called "War on Drugs" ought to be evidence enough of that the full decriminalizat...

I am not disputing that Allen Dulles was the first director of the CIA or that he was as a corporate lawyer and partner at Sullivan & Cromwell. I am d...

I see what you're saying then. I don't think that it's fair of you to allege any indoctrination, though. They've been involved with a number of coups ...

I'm not saying that the Rockefellers haven't ever been involved with what you might call "progressive" initiatives or even the intelligence community;...

Things are better now, but under the previous administration, ostensive Tea Party Republican, Michael Richard Pompeo was the Director of the Central I...

You had claimed the Rockefellers had set up either British or American intelligence, I don't actually recall, which is what I was discounting. Perhaps...

In the beaten way of an explanation, I will try to explain this again. The Anarchist Library, regardless as to how well written or theorized anything ...
