@zuumerstil @pissvortex Neither of you are wrong.
Enjoy and/or cringe.

@pissvortex You're making it out like Rumsfeld was "reading Baudrillard" in the sense that twitter intellectuals "read Baudrillard" and he isn't referencing a highly popular widespread mainstream shortform essay
English
One thing about the old academically trained fascists that used to run this country is that they could read Baudrillard, metabolize it fully within their worldview, and spit it back out to the public, castrated and inert
Brendan James@deep_beige
In 2003, next to footage of the US bombing Iraq, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld said on TV that the footage was a kind of postmodern, subjective non-truth that was "not taking place." I don't think the Trump people have someone who can operate on this level

The Boomer Network has been activated.

Nick Land is the serious thinker. In early days very sinister. He is responsible thinker.

@macy_skov It really is a great book, and must be read. Boredom truly is the final frontier.
But I have got to give a shout-out to the original Pale King, Michael Stuhlbarg as Arnold Rothstein: a great man.

@pangmeli You can tell The Food Professor only cares about vibes and appearance because he did not point out the actual problem: untied shoelaces.
English
I think suburban life produces an expansive sense of what "home" is – the house is home, but the SUV is also home, and the big box store is also home. a continuous chain of contained, privatized experiences, like never leaving the womb. why not wear pajamas
The Food Professor@FoodProfessor
One of my pet peeves at the grocery store: seeing people shop in their pajamas. Call me old-fashioned…

@drugNietzschean Every community ends up a promoted/guaranteed community.

@drumm_colin "Some days I make 20 bets. Some days, I make none...so I wait, plan, marshal my resources. And when I finally see an opportunity and there is a bet to make, I bet it all." ~ Arnold Rothstein
English
it's a funny experience to be transacting and paying for things multiple times a day. normally, on most days i don't even make any transactions at all. interesting cuz i've been talking to the students about "unpacking" velocity of money

this is so funny because now he just hangs out at lower east side dive bars with girls born after is this it came out

@drumm_colin I've only read The Birth of Physics. What are your favorites, and why?
English
People ought to talk more about Michel Serres why don't they

iggies in sweaters always make me think of Foucault

@Orthon_Spaceman Thus, Mettray marks the obsolescence of the carceral. The effects come before the cause. Yes, the world has been under something worse than lock and key for quite some time. The hoes will be scared with or without the walls. The medium is the message, you have nothing to fear...
English
@Orthon_Spaceman The latter took two hours to get Napoleon to learn of his child's birth on the other side of France. The feasibility of light, the effect of light, began before the electric telegraph. There is less need for enclosure when messages move faster than what typically transports them.
English
People speak of McLuhan as if he is this secret esoteric key, when every annoying gen-Xer in media has read him. It is the most pedestrian theory of media ever made, and arguably the most publicly known and accessible. Read Niklas Luhmann if you really want to scare the hoes.
English
@Orthon_Spaceman What is the Law of Media of the "scared hoe"? Its use here seems to imply that: it extends algorithmic biases via surveillance capitalism; it obsolesces the lady's own intuition; it retrieves panic; and reverses into apathy.
English
Responses to this prove the point beyond a shadow of a doubt, full of people confidently advancing childish misreadings of Nietzsche and asking me if I’ve ever read Nietzsche.
Lol, I’ve forgotten more about Nietzsche than you kids will ever know
essentialsalts@untimelysalts
Nietzsche never wrote a work of political philosophy for good reason. He had no interest in kindling a political movement, because he knew what would become of it. If represented in a partisan form, masses of people would reduce his ideas to their stupidest possible variation.
