@crypsis000 Hello! Would you happen to have a pdf?

Brassier's "Concrete Rules and Abstract Machines" is a devastating critique of A Thousand Plateaus. The book essentially fails to bridge the abyss between what is says and does. Just saying.

@haugejostein I understand your embrace of the paper is pretextual, but did you think we all forgot your tweet? It's SO funny that at one moment you'll represent it as causal, and then say that it's strange to read it that way. I guess we should read this as an admission you misled readers?

Philosophers and economists who are blamed by historians of ideas for various evils: 1. Isaiah Berlin/Jacob Talmon: Rousseau to Stalin 2. Karl Popper: Plato to Totalitarianism 3. Allan Bloom: Heidegger to the Closing of the American Mind 4. Anne Norton: Leo Strauss to Iraq War 5. Giorgio Agamben: Carl Schmitt to Patriot Act 6,. Tamsin Shaw: Carl Schmitt to William Barr 7. David French: Carl Schmitt to “MAGA Morality” Other connections: Hayek/Friedman to 2008 financial crisis; Michel Foucault to Neoliberal Revolution; Pat Buchanan to Trumpism; Hayek to Trumpism: Frankfurt School to “Cultural Marxism”: Frankfurt School to CRT (Rufo)

The choice between enthusiasm and contempt for democracy becomes a choice between, for example, Walt Whitman and Robinson Jeffers, rather than between competing sets of philosophical arguments. PasAA p.30 #Pragmatism #Rorty #Democracy

Habermas wants to preserve the traditional story (common to Hegel and to Peirce) of asymptotic approach to foci imaginarii. I want to replace this with a story of increasing willingness to live with plurality and to stop asking for universal validity. CIS p.67 #Rorty #Pluralism

Lots of people responding to this saying "we already had George Osborne." The difference is, Milei has slashed pension spending (good austerity); George Osborne introduced the triple lock and slashed investment spending (retarded austerity)

@AndyMk_83 Absolute ridiculous. Utter 🛎 ends the lot of them. They could have at least threw a few punches when they heard the result. Pricks

Two years of The Rat - what you won't read in United's official programme👇 (Link to article is in the next post)

It literally suggests a policy ─ "cities should reform their zoning" ─ it's you who insists on taking a maximalist interpretation of the book's framing.

By 1930, some 7,200 musicians lost their jobs — 30% of the pre-talkie total. In some markets, such as New York and Cincinnati, musician unemployment reached 50-75%. Over time, all theatre musicians were eliminated, and recorded soundtracks became par for the course. 4/

Fernand Braudel on the freedom of mountains: mountains are "primarily an obstacle, and therefore also a refuge, a land of the free. For there men can live out of reach of the pressures and tyrannies of civilization: its social and political order, its monetary economy."

It's real.
