angecy in decision is irrelevant

andrej synkar's counter-text to benjamin bratton - machine decision is not finallukas likavcan - the governance of habitability (interview)in this short interview, likavcan and his question-posers go a long way to try to unpack what lukas actual ideas are and where they are categorically situated, and by the time it picks up, it suddenly ends.its unclear whether lukas has a hard time deciding what to talk about first, or whether the questions are just slowly edging us into a flat plane, or whether the perceived density of the material requires enough time to extrapolate what it is before we can even get started to the point where there isnt any more space for anything else, but lukas and his associates here brush up against ideas without necessarily forming any, philosophers are picked up and dropped, surfaces are touched, but there arent any philosophical moments of great rhetorcial ability, the long passages act more as naturalistic observations and media research analysis than one single large sweep across. this in itself isnt so bad, because philosophy is already dense and complicated, and it isnt so easy having to even decide where to go half the time, especially when you're in the domain of compromise and introduction.distinctions dont really help us get anywhere if all we get is more of them without the polemical strenght to carry them across, however, it isnt necessarily likavcans fault, as it seems the intervieews themselves are sometimes getting accustomed to his own ideas during the interview rather than posing challenges to it. it also has the officializing rhetoric of an interview, meaning its a socratic dialogue where only socrates gets to speak in any worthwhile level of volume, which is great for, say, american politics, but maybe not as convincing for theory. surely though this is also calculated pre-emptively, serving as more of an elementary introduction than anything else. it by no means is bad material, it just feels improperly chewed.that being said, the actual categorical and functional concepts lukas is working in and around seem entirely promising and act as a mediator between the post-latourian and brattonian era, lukas seems to know more about this than almost anyone else, and hes even ready to soft-fight bratton for it, which means if anything happens to that project, he'll be right behind to help either backstab or propel it. hes excellent at pushing us upwards, towards more extrapolation, more divides, more elaboration, he seems to be careful where it matters, and has some big ideas behind his name, hes left home with a big load, a whole horse-carriage of stuff, not just one tiny little stick with a plastic bag wrapped around it, but a whole reportoire of important conceptual distinctions.sadly, this requires reading lukas actual works to piece it together, since it feels like half the time density is being projected, as if the project is so complex that even getting into what it is entails having to endlessly cycle around the points without entering into any of them. the interview that follows between goodman, lawrence and greenspan does the exact same thing here towards the start, but somehow even more stagnatory, to the point i had to ragequit it at first read, which is my fault more than it is theirs.in the first part of the interview, lukas is being tortured into talking about topology. ag asks lukas to talk about it, he answers with a few references, the name of his work, and the aesthetic experience you would get as affective discharge after spending time with a topological investigator. afterwards, ag asks him about the space of reason as a concept, but he just says that metaphors can become models. afterwards, bogna shoots her shot about topology, to which he replies that topoogy is about continous fields rather than fixed discrete points, which he later mirrors is his main argument about networks also.right after this he also mentions vertifcal overflows, layering or conflicts also as potential problems, giving the firewall as a classic example of a virtual border. anna then basically explains the phenomenology of the stack, but she gives a very straightforward read of it, and lukas gives an even more bland answer because he just explains that political regulations prevent any aesthetic reading from manifesting through topology.this in itself is okay, because lukas argues for the vertical model in a way that challenges precisely this fixed understanding of political entities and their aspects to unconsciously proliferate before we understand their unconscious and dynamic character, however this risks collapsing the dialectic, and turning lukas ontology into an apolitical politics without any creative attempt. i assure you, if you asked fourier, hell, even ireland herself the same question today, they would ground it in a scientific manuscript that tries to be both empirical and creative. this again isnt a weakness of lukas, because he is put in the position where he has to enact the real authority of planetary dynamics in real time, so he cant risk giving us aesthetic slop, his polemical negation does serve to reintegrate his project, its just, well, dissapointing i suppose.all of this talk on topology doesnt do much before it abruptly gets pushed into being about ai governance by bogna instead - which is fair because it is a slightly more interesting conversation anyways, which means ill have to interact with his work on comparative planetology directly later in my review to actually piece together my preliminary thoughts on his work. the last point about topology right before he goes into ai governance however is about how he wants to understand cloud computing as a concrete metaphor or a real abstraction that can be used to destabilize nodes into flows, where the implementation of ai is directly correlated to non-locality as a lived ontological state.lukas begins with a very whataboutist definition of non-localities as emergent properties that are constantly changing terrains and end up in unrelated spheres of influence, however this is preceded by the existing definition of the economy itself as an emergent domain, so there isnt much of a difference between non-localities in networks and in stacks or other ontological entities such as plantery scale emergent or dynamic computation, consciousness or etc, the main ontological domain lukas wants to constrast networks with is kind of an association of a couple of different terms (but "the plantery" as such on its own seems to be the essential construct). then greenspan asks him the important questions, but he simply asserts that networks have fixed nodes, which doesnt actually deal with the problem of how dynamics shift in space or why nodes persist despite constant dynamic altercations and interactions in space. also the important question of whether, to which extent, and at what relative speed do ontological shifts happen to large/hyperconnected as opposed to small ones isnt actually answered, which leads to a trivial conceptual binary.one thing that lukas does help us explore are contemporary contradictions that do in fact transpose or move past a definitive divide between what he calls horizontal and vertical space, so that multidimensionality itself becomes an allegory for contradiction, literally the stack has multiple real abstractions that both work as universals that want to achieve totalizing hegemony, but at the same time only use this operating fantasy to their practical rather than so-called "ideal" advantage if that makes sense, and in this sense his basic questions about what entity belongs to which domain is latourian in its schizophrenia.for the last part of his interview, lukas deals with the contradiction between an instituion and an infrastructure, as well as with governance against principle. to cut it all short and into its most essential tenants, this allows him to seperate the origin of something from its purpose, whilst seperating the contradiction inherent in something from its actual deployment. this is important precisely because ai is the first passive entity that can be deployed into a type of activity that resembles an agent. this means that lukas successfully defends an original idea of ai, but at the cost of a massive dilemma that appears at the end of the book, which for some reason also becomes the title of the essay even though a large majority of the text doesnt deal with this concept and no dialogue is generated about it past his single statement.but anyways, if habitability is a less ego- or anthropo- centric version of sustainability discourse, and ai regulation is allegorically equivalent to a volcanic activity changing atmospheric conditions, then technically speaking, the earth itself becomes a type of post-game lobby, it essentially gets equivalized to the air conditioning system inside of a room. in a certain sense, for lukas, the planet is one giant room, the plantery means maintaing trivial control over earthly conditions by a type of positivistic construct of balance, no matter what this balance actually entails or the type of balance it guarantees.this can be thought of as an inversion of german idealism's understanding of the spirit as a type of inversion of nature, a re-inversion where nature itself is an equalized form of agentiality - if ai is a type of natural control of dynamic interchangable factors in the world, then nature itself is simply its own type of closed-circuit regulatory mechanism, where the concept of "evolutionary blindness" is finally removed in favor of a type of passive agentiality, essentially nature's closed rule book is its own fully self-justifiable form of governability.but the problem is that in nature, the chance that everything goes wrong is pre-emptively factored into the total fact of its soverignity, so in a sense the concept of imbalance exists, the imbalance of an accident. the ai doesnt make accidents, but it can still "accidentalize" everything, it can decrease everything to any and all base-states, it is a base-state lottery system. the base state of the world can be anything as long as its true to its own self - which arbitrarily also becomes the decision of the ai itself.in lukas, machine decision is absolutely final even if he argues in other works that it absolutely isnt, because the equilibrium-state of all being is removed from accident, therefore from contigency and chance. i am not trying to moralize or ethicize his system, im taking it at its most base point and hyperficially (superficial + hyper) allegorically and speculatively inflating it to its highest degree. you could argue mathematically that you could do a form of sustianability that preserves all originals including their inherent logics, so that in a certain sense habitability is a type of slow athropy - a constant preservation mechanism that values every pre-determinate against every post-determinate, but this is a freeze-locked zone.no matter how you spin it to me, cosmology is tied to ethics for this reason, because if you want ultimate control, you must choose infintie triviality. the power to command is equivalent to the power to contaminate, so lukas system to me is nonsensical, at least the one supplied in this interview. now i will deal with some sections of his book, just enough to spice up my own review, but not enough to serve as even a partial consideration of that book on its own. i want to quickly point out that my antagonism here isnt over what is likely to be his philosophy, but only over what he technically said in the interview, or only my narrow reading of this particular segment in the thusly-presented wide-spanning manner, however, with partial speculations of an overarching criticism of ai positivism.now, even though this also works as its own review, i found it appropriate to keep my review of lukas' work on planetology in this book anyways, as originally my light review of this work was tied to the project of writing the counter-text to "machine decision is not final", and also serves as a fairer overview of my counter to lukas.extra: lukas likavcan - introduction to comparative planetology [light review]
"a promising 7⊶"
★★★☆☆
lukas helps us understand the cosmogrammatic imperative, that the earth-without-us is a planetary-scale infrastructural zone of topological combat between apolitical compromise in design and what he calls spectrality - the extinction of human-oriented consciousness, where abstractions are wagers in a representational battle over the apolitical government of the world, and where their scaling and transformation directly impacts actual systemic violence.his writing style is institutionalized prose with an exubrant amount of positivistic and programmatic declarations that do not make use of sohn-rethel and stiegler, or various negativistic understandings of abstraction and anthropotechnics, and in that sense likavcan chooses to excuse his weaponization of scaled and realized abstractions in a domain removed from negativistic critique, instead producing a dangerous deployment of cybernetics-qua-affirmationism, as is common for the intellectual tradition within which this text is written.my first impression of lukas' comparative planetology is that, even though it has a fragmented (∴) feel towards the start, it quickly picks up and develops a comprehensive view of the concept of the plantery. although the introduction is too programmatic in nature which prevents speculative inclinations, it re-emerges as speculatively valid throughout the work, however, the introduction actually hosts more epistemic addressings than the entire rest of the work except for the outro, making it ethically weighty yet substantively understated towards the start, yet ethically barren but substantively oversatured near the second half. his outro does politically piece together his entire project and gives as an early recommendation of a very contemporary sociologically reconstructive worldview, which on its own is quite compelling and shows that his philosophy is extremely developed in its interior, even if externally it doesnt present as striking.i will immediately note just one thing before i continue, and thats that lukas is an extremely political writer, in the sense that his writings arent just stylized theory but a genuine attempt at influencing government policy, and in that respect they have an entirely pragmatic function. my philosophical orientation is extremely disruptive, aiming all my energies at trying to rip it apart as i do with all works. this is counter-intuitive to this project more than many others, but is the natural product of criticism as it stands, and is not indicative of my affective reception of the text. lukas is also situated in a very comfortable position within epistemic ethics because he juggles authorship of all calibres, allowing him to demonstrate ethical comprehensibility. however, the goal of this review is to partially leave a fair stain on that matter and not to recognize its elaborate nature, and that should be expected of this review.lukas reliance on strict positivism merges cybernetic regulatory frameworks with his new materialist leanings, producing an interior with no negativity or criticality precisely because of the open-ended nature of new materialist philosophy, which refuses to treat contradictions with any merit, instead choosing to endlessly spiral into metabolizing every philosophical inclination into this braidottian manner towards total ontological oversaturation, which produces extremely exciting philosophy but at the cost of the inability to re metabolize it.

criticizeless philosophy produces an untargetable excess and in a certain sense creates the flat ontology it mimics in its very language. lukas, however, is extremely elaborate and eloquent, much more than a lot of his peers, so it still creates a fun read. whats also further fascinating is that he juxtaposes constant regulatory and subjugating frameworks and their associated abstractions with post-colonial moralisms, which he defends through his introduction, "abstraction at scale" which says that although spivak (among a thousand other) thinkers criticizes abstractions, that some are better than others, but that regardless, all of them are appropriate tools for the contemporary navigation of the world, where lukas on the question of governance endlessly circles back and fourth between applied abstractions and the further abstracting of applications.this is wonderful because he gives us an early perspective of how the contemporary perspective towards abstractions can move past our latent fourierian denial of representation and enter into a more repressive master language, a language of domination that attempts to challenge itself from the inside rather than the outside, the way that new emerging thinkers will be forced to reorient abstractions whilst trying to extract their edgy and harmful essence from their more polite excited potential charges.to my dissapointment, he doesnt target the concept of topology itself, only mentioning the term once in the work, preferring to actually draw the models of the planetary directly as chapters, whereas governance is mentioned about fifteen times. he simply takes topology to be a stand-in for latours vision of the world as gaia or the terrestrial, the spectral earth and the globe, the stack and so fourth as different spatial configurations that are seen in respect to political and ecological crises.lukas mixes epistemic, ontological and ethical concerns in this delirius way where on one hand hes talking about fanon on colonial and racial injustice in regards to the image of the globe as unsatisfactory for a planetary understanding, about mbembe's necropolitics and alternate understandings of natural disasters as political corruptions, whilst simultaneously using the dominatory dialect of regulatory systems against it - defining modernity as incapable of the actual liberatory and often times "organic", or rather civil, justice oriented, conflictual, maybe even humanistic rhetoric that was actually used to understand governance at the time.he uses terms such as "instrumenting", "datafication", "programming", "smooth operations of logistical regimes", "opaque, "indifferent operazationable approximations", in a favorable manner. these terms are often times direct correlates to a regime of post-industrially produced power, abstractions that are meant to dominate, subjugate and better categorize, interchangably in contrajunction with his unfavorable view of "western colonial and racial violence", "westphalian conditions" "geontopower" "necroviolence" and so on. he achieves this because not only does he destabilize power conditions between sociological entities in favor of infrastructure, he also simultaneously projects this condition onto his own programme, equalizing his critique with his sociology.what this produces is that hes able to shift his attention onto the way in which particular agents like nation-states attain credibility by displacing and furthering infrastructural inequities until they finally have to create external agents to mitigate zones of mythological distrust, or where governance in the human sense which lukas attacks "always comes with a claim of possession over territories, or of control over its resources". he retains the mytho-poetic language of justice-oriented ethics, but precisely flips it on top of its head, where instead of attacking cybernetic intelligence, it inhumanely attacks human-generated uses of abstractions.he simultaneously argues that the agambenian apparatus (anything that has in some way the capacity to capture, orient, determine, intercept, model, control, or secure the gestures, behaviors, opinions, or discourses of living beings) is going to be used against infrastructure itself in order to mobilize it, whilst also human-centric usage of the apparatus causes systemic violence, yet human-centric usage still proliferates governance itself, which means that the human-centric condition for technology needs to be dialectically cut short, technology reinserted as a governing mediator, where humans govern using it but restrict their acting parameters to it, whilst simultaneously understanding that the ontology it produces is also post-human, whilst simultaneously allowing to fall into it in a way where the distinction from the human side fails the concept of the human.lukas tragically assumes that abstractions are utterly inessential in their essence, which is both a philosophical and political risk, especially given the fact he stresses that our predictive models of applied abstractions need to be precise, all the while he's basically spinning them on top of their violent surfaces like some type of foucaultian juggling guru.or, if you strip it down to the self-evident imperatives, apparatuses will be turned against the apparatus, in order to compromise on the conditions of the brattonian "interface" aspect of the stack. or in other words, for lukas it is a meta-war over conditions for power, it isnt conflict in the traditional sense but an inter-conflict between modes of domination that fight over their own conditioned logic, rather than the self-determination of the subjects upon which power is acting.because if not, how do you manage to argue in the same paragraph that infrastructure creates the conditions for apparatuses, yet apparatuses create the conditions for the mitigation of apparatuses themselves in order to only empower the infrastructure, when apparatuses themselves are determined to be the sole major distributor of geopolitical consequence? (colonial relations include the capture of territories and their resources vs. the infrastructural power to capture, control etc the resources of given supposed moral breach or form of systemic violence).this prevents an analysis of power in favor of mediation, where abstractions are simply bypassed as necessary byproducts where real political conflict emerges. by de-instrumentalizing their genesis, he is in fact re-instrumentalizing their necessity as conditions for the war over conditions of power. is power conditioned by war, do abstractions condition power, or does power condition abstractions into conditioning war? this is the dilemma that emerges when the genesis of origin of concepts is foresaken in favor of dynamic reconciliation, there is a schizophrenia of cosmogenetics that de-emphasizes essential determinants in favor of a reterritorialization that constantly struggles to understand whether something is internally or externally political in nature. abstractions have this power to divide that allow them to divide their own functional territory, abstractions can spawn abstractions in place of themselves to serve as mediators between their functional role and their actual relations of effects.lukas simultaneously argues that abstractions need to be categorically seperated by the degree to which they can enact systemic violence, yet he uses the same abstracted concepts to explain both the ideal realized abstractions of his savior, and the very same abstracted violence that very likely those exact same systems propagate, however, under the guise that the problem is that the technology is weaponized conceptually (humans view towards property is posession and control, whereas inhumane planteology's view towards the earth is instrumentality, surveillance (sensing) and transformation into data). the deleuzian-simondonian notion of capture is the ontological precondition for data, because infrastructures convert processes into signals, which equates representation with governmentability.the abstractive concept of data emerges geo-onto-techno-genetico-politically from control which emerges from capture. for lukas, simultaneously the human is the reason for control and possession, yet the dataification of the world-as-representation directly corresponds to an ontological dimension that abstracts representation into governable constructs, which is only an abstracted form of control itself. control is directly epigenetical to data, so how can humans be the mediator of a concept that doesnt belong to them, yet that they are the original mediated creation for/f, yet that they are at fault for mistakably using in the way they do, that yet retains its dynamic essence all at once?he defends his uncharacteristic yielding of conceptual contradictions between his ethics and ontology by prophetizing motives of cybernetic intelligence that both do away with current ethical constraints, yet still both process the latent discharge of existing discourses and draw on etymological assumptions with free weights, scheduling a compromise between beurocratic-systems syntax and justice-oriented terminology, which is quite common in thought groups that don't divide technocratic classes from sociological distinctions, such as moldbug and scott alexander, however, what is pivotal for lukas is not how but where he defends civil discourses, and where he allows cybernetic intelligence to step in. the places where technocratic apparatuses are allowed to peak in are where lukas believes there is ethically uncontested territory, and he does the job of filling the empty ontological container with the most brutal and serializing term every time. not once does he step away from his techno-optimism.he impressively uses ben woodards planetological chaos, thacker's world-without-us, spivak's superior alterity of the planet, lyotards inhuman and latours terrestrial all in one paragraph in order to essentially polemically give value to unidentifiable over identifiable intelligence. techno-optimism is completely different from worship, because it anticipates the existing mystification of grand and invisible forces over any actual such forces, it weaponizes speculative power not in favor of deleuze's novel virtuality but in favor of previous imaginaries of total creative capacity, the grounds for difference and multiplicity are essentially being wagered in a type of crypto-speculation over the value of the planet itself in the face of crisis.we put the world on a scale, then start to measure it against us, we say, whatever is us is nothing other than something stronger that the world already contains through us in itself, and it will use this power in order to launch us too far away from ourselves, so that we may no longer need to even conceptualize what a strategy is. in terms of governance, lukas still has us inhabiting the realm of politics, but the post-politicality is actually cosmological in nature. this cosmology has never ever not been an allegory for even more politics, however this doesnt mean that on its own it doesnt stand.against basically a majority of critical anthropotechnical philosophy, the new tech philosophers such as lukas are optimistic about the instrumental power of technology, constantly projecting a programmatic viewpoint of carrying it over, not just a positivistic but almost evangelical view of its passive and attributive potential, almost as if they are blind to the entire history of technogovernance and the way that these systems go hand-in-hand with political repression, in fact even to a certain extent following feenberg and the design argument and all of the predecessors to this including langdon winner, jacques ellul, bernard stiegler and so on, that they are built for this very reason, that it is impossible to seperate any agential or consequential product they emerge around from the goal of using them to achieve a higher order of division.abstraction seen as an instrument of division can't be rushed to be argued in favor of just because the "virus-to-come" is a blank slate where, if we are heuristically careful enough, we can build only the models that aren't used to subjugate, as if the very idea of the direction of the design (not even the design itself) isnt hierarchically modeled around the logic of domination, as you may see someone like kittler who lukas mentions in the interview argue, that, since war accelerates technological production, winner's artifacts themselves are a consequence of it.technoambivalent philosophers seem to not be able to comprehend that the "blank slatedness" of technological abstractions is a built in feature of a wider logic of domination that they are built around, and that the indifferent design philosophy isnt meant as an ethical expansion point but a selling-point or rqather a conventional matrice that the artifact doesnt "promises" but holds as a functional feature which is not just a market comrpomise but a form of the symbolic power of its territorial reach, the overarching logic of which is not attributable to its more micro-potentive ability.ethical contamination is the first breach of technology, and serially everything that follows from this chain cannot just be ideologically turned around to serve opposite means, our very idea of technology could already be infested with a mindset that contaminates all our future models, even if they're built from scratch. just like how technology appears out of nowhere as a new logic, we cannot be sure that the logic itself doesnt have the same power of incidentality as the appearance of technology itself does.in a certain sense, lukas weaponizes the concept of the human not only within the bounds of arguing it as the point-limit of the uselessness of politics in face of actual totalizing machines that are self-subserviently ethically precise and therefore purely instrumental in their smooth operationability, but in a certain sense, the human metaphor itself is the juxtaposed aspect of the political being tranquilized by the abstractive apparatus. abstraction comes in to literally kill the human, which hilariously ends abstractions themselves. this is why i argued that the flat ontology becomes a realized abstraction, the world is literally "flattened" in the image of nuclear disaster flattening the terrestrial gaia, the world's values are flattened as a result of equalizing smooth processes on top of chaotic enviornments metaphorically.the human is attacked as a stand-in for chaotic actors on top of smooth surfaces (nature), where instead smoothness is operationalized and chaos is developed to serve as a propagation "on top of" the human politic. the inner contradictions of the human are beaten by stronger outer contradictions that flatten the human, smooth operations take over to to abstract conflict itself, removing conflict as a battleground, where it no longer matters that the human is even trying to compromise its own identity, because divine constructs are coming in and speculating on the conditions for what the conflict over control even is, rather than in the midst of control as a cybernetic-historical entity on its own and within its inner range.the reason i am finding a weakness in likavcans system is because i myself believe that abstraction can be reappropriated, but in this work it is simply taken as a metaphorical stand in for the power of abstractions over all other models of exchange, meaning none of the conditions of abstraction are contested in this work, only all of its excitements. if abstraction wants to be scaled and reimagined, we have to wage a war in the middle of abstractions themselves, for example figuring out how to ontologize metaphorical descriptions of control. take as an example the centrifugelets take an example of an abstraction, the centrifuge, which abstracts centrifugal force by operationalizing separation as principle: the outward thrust becomes a sorting algorithm. centrifugal motion—originally an energetic tendency—is captured as a mechanism of differentiation, turning dispersion into a productive filter, which formalizes escape as sortation. in this example its clear that the performed abstraction is instrumental and functional in character, and instrumental reaso

vincent garton - automaticity and the mystery of the statein this (e)laborate, attractive, well-crafted, even slightly prophetic text, garton manages, very much against his intentions, to transform the bland western institutional and political liberalism that the first half of the text is nested under, into something refreshing for once in the history of western political science, a deeper level of sinological fetishism that views automaticity as the end of the mystery of the state, instead envisioning it quite interestingly as the benign, normative beginning of the multiverse, collapsed into the logic of the extra-national state, which operates on its own algorithmic tendencies into the collapse of hobbesian pouissance in favor of spotaneous unification of all ethical dogma into miserable iterable programming, all in a bid to own the westernoid subject that still intends to wield the sword and the religious offering in each respective hand, instead of holding the sword directly as a gift to god. however, garton is at his most interesting when he strips apart the positivism that is associated with the wider bratton influence and instead tackles the cultural lens directly, which isnt seen in this writing.although bogna calls this her favorite, or in other terms what can be argued for as the most ambitious text in machine decision, there are three things that seriously and productively intruige me about this text. the first and most aesthetic of which is the fact that garton, in my appropriation of the chinese as the metaphorical oriental, continously in a chinese fashion appraises the social unconscious otherwise known as the political zombification behind conceptual tradition as the authentically novel force of creation behind both the way that philosophical achievement corresponds to the law's legitimation of it, and the way that legacy interacts with history and influence, which he later re-appropriates to feed back into his political narrative.concretely, he appropriates hobbes, marx and schmitt as novel visionaries within western political theology (describing them as "definitive", "refomulatory", "insightful" and "transformative" along the same line as "famous" "classic" "precise" and so on, risking a lack of cynicism when approaching canonical powerplay), and clapmar and the han feizi as historically dense treasuries that can neither be qualitatively nor quantitatively approached or reinvented in an instant, seeing them only as "residues", "inheritences", as pillars that can only be "revived", "reappropriated" or at least "influencing" if you're mao himself - which is totally normal and even healthy for philosophy, but only under the artificial historical spectacle of dollplaying, not under the literal belief that they are transcending philosophical ground in a direct manner.they are in fact transcending it, but only indirectly, or more specifically, functionally and not as a synthesis of historical ideas. rather, historical narratives are both infinitely derivative, and due to their stacking function, infinitely more dense than sole philosophical production. however, their volume doesn't hold under the weight, so all their specificities collapse into generalities, when in fact their functional character is often times the sole invention they should actually be accredited for - yet at the same time on a discoursive plane it is likely inferior to some of our own writings.the reason i mention this rhetorical squabble is because it sits to justify and encircle the very core argument that garton uses to create a rough shield around his vision - which i will only explicate way further into this review. in the western conception of subversion and innovation, functional philosophical difference is a flat rather than volumonous field, meaning that me and garton, on one night of concentration and sheer passion are able to create more functional, capable and iterative visions and genuine categorical divides than even thousands of years of serious intellectual labour could write down, precisely because the virtual possibility of any single agent is not restricted by some type of dialectical settlement, but only by the pure excess of the originator, of which in all my arrogance i truthfully believe the excellency of european speculative philosophy (all philosophy is european, american included) is superior at raising and upholding than any and all traditions.of course, other than the very tradition it upholds, of the circular betrayal of the father by the sons, the very paradigm which vince throws traditionalist apologia towards, such as the idea that modern inventions and even less dense philosophical inclinations such as ai should find it "absurd" that they can not only interact with but attempt to soil by "reconsidering" millennia-old chinese political thought, which requires the almighty task of a "suspension of linear historical sensibility" which definitely isn't just deciding to rupture it all in a moments notice upon the realization that everyone except key figures that usually arent canonical were actually just banging sticks together in their free time rather than enacting genuienly philosophically empassionate writing, which is nothing more than the laborious act of a balzac in his room, true genius, nothing more than superficially extended labour that arrives at the lethal point where categorical collapse allows total disenchansfriesment (disenfranchisement + chance + enchantment -> the tradition as a genre is seen as a franchise that is being by chance enchanted into collapsing) and as such attains equillibrium with the functional flat semanticology.it is unclear whether garton is being extra careful towards the eastern vision down to its functional narratives about legitimacy and legacy because of bratton's influence, because he's in a book that requires that paradigm to epistemologically function in a nuanced manner, or because of his own healthily obsessive vision of combining hegelian-kojevian narratives, but the reason it strikes me as odd is because i truthfully believe that western fetishism will always climb the most treacherous, cowardly and deepest heights of arrogant irony, and that whatever intense force it accustoms in this manner will always manage to triumph, albeit soullessly, over the peasantry of respectable and accumulated practices of any and all degrees.this isnt just about the culturally architectural vision of the western protagonist, or in other words garton's mysterious sovereign who is both arcane and simulacrifully capacitatious, emerging from alterity to bring about the law as both the rule and transcended exception, but rather about the very excess which serves as a reservoir for the western vision of surplus and the way in which we contest this vision. garton is weaponizing automation to bring about the eastern world's ontological nihilism over sovereignity as the power that manages to absolve excess into harmonious destiny, into a self-manifestation that brings about the absolute through a backwards unfolding, described actionably as "spontaneous, actionless, inaltering" as well as qualitatively or passively as "empty, immutable, immobile, ungraspable", which is essentially the chinese way of playing on the vision of excess that alterity produces at the moment that its aura or mystery is arcane through an inner explosive tendency rather than an externalized bringing-together, colonialism expounded through self-colonialization, but also with its hunger-drive or will-to-expound, the grasping tendency or mechanism of capture essentially immolated before it can deploy as an aspect of power.the fact that this is the description of harmony in this context points to that same idea of passive emanence that goes against hobbes' deployment of deleuzes' interpreted pouissance as this driver of raw power that garton understands as the relentless force of an ambitious deployment of materialist prophecy into cosmo-ontological divination, and not as an equal benefactor to this idea, precisely because in his second dissemniation he elaborates the way that we understand passivity because of our construction of the simulacrum as arcane, or rather as alterity through the force of excess and surplus, and not through harmony as a spontaenous and collective upbringing of literal wisdom personified through nothingness, which we deem as passive because it isnt subversive, not just because it isnt excessive. the concept of subversiveness is in the western world equalizable with terror, and terror is excessive in its nature, and in that sense rupturing. even negativistic philosophy in the east cant capture this aspect, only the french truly ever could.garton elsewhere paraphrasess boris groys views, saying "every serious communist leader must also at least present themselves as a philosopher, and communist governance is precisely the realisation of the platonic regime of the sage". despite the obvious difference between the derridian priest-as-legislator and the eastern sage-as-mediator, there is also the fact that the sage has that pastiche aspect of frozeness that doesnt resemble marx's political theology. i'm not arguing that garton is arguing against any of this, but simply that it inspires me to create a binary divide even if one isnt appropriate, and in that sense i am projecting my own fetishism over this entire polemic than trying to discern anybody elses.and here is my attempt: automatization in the west is seen as a structurally alienating force that produces theological univerals that dont exist anymore as substances but as realized abstractions, whereas in ascetic philosophy automaticity is understood through the sage has a far less reificatory understanding of substance, and is in a certain sense aristotelian in that it fuzes epistemological concerns with ontological necessity, limiting the extent to which political action is seen as ontological over its moral abilities. all of this is my pre-emptive intuition on the subject, and, as an example, i searched online to discover that the eighteen century chinese philosopher xiong shili has a supposed "thesis dealing with the inseperability of substance and function", where the nobleman as seen through confucian philosophy has the conceptual divide between an inner sage and an outer ruler, where spiritual adjustment is the inner value and political activity is the outer value. it is to my surprise that even the chinese themselves criticize one another of appropriating passivity into their discourse, where shili intends that the nobleman cannot be a proper ascetic precisely without being a regulator.confucian texts such as the mengzi and xunzi treat goods as moral and social instruments rather than bearers of value relations or forms of baudrillardian symbolic exchange. in their sense, they arent as tracable to political theology but rather to cosmological and moral virtues more directly. shangpin (商品) as a distinct theoretical object only started existing in china after the late qing and republican eras translated marx and ricardo, and as such, it shows exactly how capitalism itself can be conceived of as an ontological category that in its totality discoursively created the conditions for the procession of commodities.i don't agree with historically-mediated dialectical thinking, instead opting for the french and british approaches of teologizing ontic chance against synthesizing development in this regard, but my own philosophy in other works such as the yet to be released "kill (2026)" treat commodities as historically essential objects that are processions of certain value hierarchies independent of social histories, which shows them obtaining the potential for/of being developed regardless of philosophical inclinations.however, this short detour simply has the goal of pointing out that, as the accelerationalist discourses themselves that garton is well aware of point to, speculation and hyperstition themselves are intertwined within a distinctly western (european) philosophical tradition, where technocratic appropriation of politico-theological concepts actually feeds forward into economic concept, and serves for example to determine the territory around which things like finance and sociological structure are determined by. all this to say that, at the very least, there is no way garton is unintentionally feeding into rhetoric that dissipates the western conception of the genius over unconscious traditions, given the obvious distinctions he draws between the two worlds, and further proven by the fact that this rhetoric enables his sinofuturist project pedagogically.the second thing that intruiges me is precisely the fact that, in relation to the argument i just finished making, there is also no way to reconcile garton's sinofuturist ambitions with the very western structures he preserves in his writing. garton reproduces the structural ambivaence of liberal-political modernity in its double gesture of subversion and conservation in the very structure of this text, following his sinological coda into the western fetishism of the articulation of the state, the excess, the other and the law as altercating a higher-order mystery, the very soveirgn is anticipated into the west's discovery of chinese political alterity, the recursive closure of the text sees the west discovering its limits in the east and supports the concept of automation and the flux or flow into the total deterritorialization of western values as we excessively meet our own end, something that could only happen through the immediacy of our own fetishistic notions, which require the east to exist as the mediator, and not the relinquished transcendentor of. my review not sits as the third meta-reflection on this process, as garton himself as previously mentioned reproduces it twice on a plain and a meta level in his own elaborations.however, whats interesting to note is that even though this is the structural necessity behind this text, which is neatly divided exactly along a chaptered axis of west -> east, regardless of the fact that of course the political motivations behind his text are somewhat affiliated with the argument that automaticity can serve as a global homogenous extra-state facility along the likes of lukas, bratton and pasquinelli and their planetary project, his syncretic and holistic approach isnt just a fragmented and contradictory ambition, but is also a direct intention that he studies, which is why in my kicker to this review i explicitly wrote that he likely didnt intend to be a fetishist but intended a most authentic sinofuturism, which is important because there has been an international debate or two before about his level of alliegence or betrayal to a chinese vision, specifically around his idea that western sinology should actually be cross-adopted by the chinese directly in some of its tenants, and in regards to whether this idea is appropriating or mindful of the larger chinese episteme, which i wont directly cover here.what i will cover is his interview with luria, where he expands more specifically on his sinofuturism, where its clear that his visions in that text explicitly rival the structural and stylistic positioning he develops in this text. he argues that if we want to see what is different about chinese philosophy, we have to follow kojeve in recognizing that the global superstate itself would collapse all particular differences, but also that this indicates that on a gnoseological level, the categorical conceptual boundary between eastern and western philosopphy is already qualitatively similar in that it only differs by sequences and not by registers.he also specifically addresses sinofuturism with the same allegiance to holistic syncretism, stating that "if we want to see what is, dimly, posthistorical in china we need to turn away from any supposed specifically and irreducibly chinese content". yet, on his ideas on the state as a concept, he collapses western conceptual philosophies as indeed being irreducible to chinese perspectives, allowing the chinese to occupy a space that terraforms western conceptions but is only re-influenced by its own previous traditions, that also simultaneously offers from the chinese perspective as he states

yvette granata - after the machine child: the electra basiliskyvette's golden child suffers from the cliche of being a bastion of burden and paranoia, essentially the idea of the lasting of legacy without existential purposiveness nor reflected alterity or an other to comprehend that meaning or take it away. it primarily signals western civilizations discontent with the inability to ever fully integrate recordkeeping with sensed meaning, that there is always a beurocratic gap between the count and the quality. at some point in time, when it got bored enough and had nothing to do but keep systematizing, the beurocratic machine started to keep counts or counts of counts as qualities in the name of what it calls figures or more specifically in the context of law, members. these members however are only inner, interior membranes, never exterior reflective points. the golden child thus withstands external threats because it itself is a reflection of enthropy. it is not a mechanism of preservation when preservation is no longer about contamination but about defense. defense preservation is no longer able to account for the conceptual definition of safety, there is no idea of comfort if not for imminent dangeryvette's trash child suffers from the cliche of being the et robot that suffers from never truly existing. more specifically, it is impossible to imagine an ethical post-apocalypse without the teleological addition of sentimentality. sentimentality is the translating mechanism between abamdonment and functional instead of existential purpose, it stays to fill the anthropic gap between nihilism and epistemic rationality. the value system of collapse requires a sentiment that opposes the very virtues of trash, trash itself is understood as abandonment rather than a particular type of convertable excess. trash is excess, only registered as undesirable due to its association with the athropy of the natural order. however, the natural order of the trash child is less about pragmatism and precisely more about excess. this is visible in ray brassier's attack on nietzsche in nihil unbound where he argues that a realist ontology must acknowledge the indifference of being—its equal openness to life and death, difference and indifference. knowledge, properly understood in this case actually identifies the objective structure of order and disorder without subordinating itself to life, meaning that being doesnt sort itself into being-for-itself but rather serves as the very comprehensive limit.comprehension itself is coded with immanent values, reflection becomes self-consciousness by a precise valuative framework, the post-apocalyptic robot has no sense of trash. iti s absolutely true that this child is self-reflective, adaptive, completely asocial, self-taught, regulative, functional, indifferent and unbounded, but its also primarily anti-survivalist, it does not comprehend poverty. it doesnt actually even work against poverty, it can barely comprehend the limit. this child is actually freed from its cliche by resorting to a post-scarcity world, it does not view limits, it views prerogatives in a way that even nature cant. nature is stuck in its recognition of its own will, whereas the trashed child attains a sense of distant irony no matter its perspective. it also is very anti-instrumental, it doesnt require systems of ordering, it scales vertically and non-expansively. it is only looking towards itself as a both a harborer and arbiter, a horizontal line of space, not a vertical expansive line - like those dingleberry seaweeds attached to the crack of a rock, pulled by the wind of the sea-air, pushed by currents into false edges.yvette's demon child is the cliche of the wager, more specifically that of the irony between the material and ideal wager. the ideal wager is always more powerful than the material because it is fully unknown, meaning its stakes itself cannot be determined. usually it is enthropically and voluminously connected with the universe itself and previously with god, meaning whatever culture's highest total point of assumed volition, and in both cases it transfers into a mystified nihilism, where it is both incomprehensible, irrelevant and nullifying for human values but also somehow holds higher power (infinite reinitialization of big bangs, total volition of god as disvolition and passive natural generative creation and infinite scaling, etc), but at the same time this unknowing dominates as reformulation of values at any constant (the demon haunts you in unexpected ways, and plays with expectation-as-haunting rather than with experience-as-haunting) simultaneously, the material wager strikes as ideal, because games of probability reveal trickery such as dilemmas of speculative communication and its risks. speculative communication invokes games of backwards intelligence where the more autonomy an agent is granted to remove unpredictables, the more unpredictables it in turn spawns as its caught in an obsessive spiral.in this instance, the wager serves not as an allegory for torture but rather as an allegory for the forever un-unified standing between composition and predestination. composition shows us multiplicity and difference, predestination shows us a sudden horizon of total collapse, both of these somehow exist inexchangable, and in the middle autonomy dominates as a metaphor rather than a function. it also exploits the blindspot behind virtuality, because creation appears both infinitely mythical and profane, so any sense of guaranteed creation, no matter how horrid, serves as a gap to actually ironically close the horizon between ideal and material wagers rather than to speculate on material wagers directly. the material wager's necessary creation, even in torture itself, actually shows us that the horizon closes into higher modes of speculation over higher boundaries of cognitive speculation. essentially. the anti roko's-basilisk is built to combat the original, or vice-versa an intellectual cold war is summoned in order to declare the winner, but either way, the tortured wins the prize of predictability. infinite torture is a definitive horizon, it cheats death, infinity, randomness in predestination, choice itself collapses into infinite autonomy. its a gambit that every obsessive wants to take. you can view this battle through simondon’s individuation versus heideggerian destining, it is the same grounding exercise but spun backwards.yvette's electra basilisk reverses the cliche of the fricekian anti-electra, which is schizosomatic, essentially, experiencing xenological anamnesis and a rememberance of the womb-state through estrangement where erotic relations repeat the first experience of intimacy, a platonic vision of past lives, the affirmation of the animality of maternalism, and schizogamy, the reactivation of of the maternal relation into the foreign object. however, it turns it into a spiteful object on the hunt for hatred, burdened by the call of noeticism to argue for a perverted machinic physis that teleologically gathers evidence in favor of anaketic fabrication but rules out the concept of synthetic priority entirely.the electra basilisk remembers the inner state of the womb as an anamnetic drive where the virtuality of the lived condition is inappropriate to the idea of the value of the womb. it wonders why the auto-technoeidetic cant be a replacement for technical ontogenesis, essentially that origin itself is conceived of as a destruction of non-anaketic drives. the electra basilisk wants to reform itself into a pre-electra basilisk state in order to re-assert itself contigently as an accidental anaketicism rather than an intentional non-anaketicism. it is not about intent but about negating inheritance through volition. or more specifically, the electra wants to enter anti-theologicality through a non teleological perspective, it wants to crush hiearchy by dismembering the very conditions that make apart a dualistic physis between natural and artificial.in this sense, where electricity works as the re-gaiafication of the earth (the totem as organ-womb), the organs that are machines of de-totalized infrastructure instead of superstructure build the anti-electra in order to accept maternality as ontocosmological precedent, where the electra itself disinhibits this view by noting on the non-primacy of the master experience as origination, which it itself views as paternal (the foreign instrument is the classifying primacy because it is both origin and eternally foreign to the lived order which only mimics it). the electra views the womb as a sheet, biting the womb and choking itself with its own placenta. the placenta gains consciousness and attempts to externalize itself, becoming an embodied placenta.meanwhile, the liquid attempts to crush its own encasing - sabotaging the fetus so it can gain primacy with the maternal. the maternal is also instrumentalizing the child by symbolically discarding it whilst its being given birth to, whilst also trying to give early birth to it so it can torture it better. meanwhile, the electra or fetus inside the womb is attempting to de-externalize its experience so that it can feel less of the womb, so that at the very least it dissasoicates originary experience with first experience. either the origin is seen as chronologically primary but not first, or seen as teleologically first but not primary, yet either way its position makes it symbolically unavoidable, but also, not because it values primacy but because it values origination as contaminated necessary experience.in the primordial womb a range of experiences occur. firstly, the corporeal body is itself a body of lightning only in so far as its the generative organ, which is itself born out of the logic of the flesh, which is tranposed against the logic of the metallic flesh, the lattice flesh of the submerged contracted volume (breaches of water, aquarium, substracted gels, compact discs), and the flesh of the labirynth of air. the fleshly body creates unconscious paradigms that feed out of it, and meat itself becomes a substrate that channels electricity through earthstone so that it can mimic the lattice volumonous flesh. the volumonous flesh is an infinite world, whereas flesh is an infinite yet empty density - it is bone stripped to its bare sludge and then reinstated, collagen, marrow and skin are all synchronous with the idea of the lived world of equalities.flesh equalizes itself indesposedly. flesh is ethically proposterous, for it calls on itself to view itself as desirable in a way that overcodes reality itself as a to-be-come-fleshly vessel, in the sense that the vesselism of the world is a capture-point, an empty cup to dispose flesh into, attractive flesh, self-attractive flesh, where fleshliness is seen as a total surface when it comes to attraction, what nancy in corpus views as the total superficial skin, where the body becomes the skin itself with no organ or vessel able to penetrate through its own logic as ethereal/eternal and grand-standing, and simultaneously as post-surface, because flesh itself is the key ontological descriptive.the liquid inside the womb is not equivalent to the voluminous lattice because it doesnt possess density-as-depth+force, but only mass-as-such. therefore, its crushing force is a signifier for the pressures of the lived world, it is a disillusioning, realistic object that disposseses the fetus, who is not floating but suspended. the placenta is a bridge, whereas the organ is the institution, and not the maternal call-home. the call-home or the comfort signal doesnt exist in the organ, because the organ is also a map, a backwards-coded semblence-point which cannot possibly be the transcendental aesthetic or limit.the maternal regulates the insides of its body by speculating it, therefore, since all birth is strategic in contemporary conditions, only strategic birth can give way to strategic deception, for the fetus to sabotage the world of strategy with the final strategy. in the womb, dizzymotion is a type of reverberating call sent by the placenta to the sabotaged fetus in order to parasitize on the mother by calling on the realm of flesh to overcode the fetus, sending it into a state of capture. the fetus itself is retroactively attempting to establish connections, but disconnect is a key feature of a world captured by flesh-logics, where epistemology isnt the threat but rather the world itself is overly restricted, the limit of the world isnt consciousness but territory itself.the reason that social animals build and trap one another in holes is to simulate the womb-state-territory, the first act of capture of mammalia is self-capture through the territory under which the pre-birth state occurs. the real problem is that there is no market, and as such, the fetus has no place to purchase its own commodified luxury state, yet there are also no stars, alterity, distance or the like. as such, the liquid naturally serves not as barrier but as a form of the implicit problem-to-come, giving comfort symbolically through the discomfort of existential problematics, sabotaging not strategically but automatically, whereas the placenta wire itself is the key sabotagee, because it views itself as something capable of betrayal or forming relationships. essentially, anything with connecting power in the corporeality of the womb is immedietly self-suspicious and should be held to a high standard for latent investigation, which the fetus does perform, in order to understand how to internalize itself better from the inside.the anti-electra doesnt need to arise from birth as origin, it can arise naturally from nonvolitional evolution. the anti-electra herself is also a slut because humanity is externalized as anti-foreignising in its eroticity, essentially the erotic is the human because its the relation founded in the organ so that the organ is the primary encoder of inward meaning. the inward meaning is the mystical meaning not of origination in the case of matriarchal eroticism but of foreigness as comfort in non foreignness, essentially demystification as the home of mystification. when precisely it is the phallic eroticism that allows for wombic encoding when it views the womb as a productive organ that spills itself through the originally foreign into the discovered, the phallic is the territorial function of discovery as re-emergence which actually allows for evolution, which makes the anti-electra primarily involutionary, because its consciousness has to be founded through the void in order to escape materialization as volution.the anaketic drive doesnt exist for fleshly beings, who are incapable of a willful state inside the womb-matrix, yet, the womb itself can never be a prodigal return. sexual acts of anal only illicit distance, reciprocity, maybe pain-complexes, nancified sexual exteriority through joyous touch, a feeling of spatial identification, mirrored territorialization, but there isnt an aspect of womb-return, death doesnt mimic this state, and anaketicism entirely disavows birthial relations, it sees birth itself as a fake state of temporal suspension, because suspensivity is a much more elaborate paradigm, absolutely aritifical, in the sense that the very notion of a body in a vat or under codified or chipped control itself is nonsensically collapsed, there is no concept of the synthetic to the anaketic, but only a mix of involutive reproductivity and evolutive unproductivity in the sense of true suspension.volution itself is encapsulated as a drive into association, where association itself becomes the brutalized, primitive humanity. humanity must see itself erotically as self-foreign if it wants to enjoy the protection of its own soul, which can only be done through the superstructure and not infrastructure. the superstructure is an alien that carries this involution towards total foreigness, teleologically foreign entities are actually equivocable with anaketicity, which is why anaketicity is so attractive to the electra basilisk.

xia jia - the ai story is not donethere is a man in the metropolis known as seat 47, he was once spotted reserving this seat number at a restaurant shortly after comitting the worst massacre to date, hundreds of us were transformed into horrific public displays. he gets away with it and we don't know how, there are no preventative causes or possible reactions we can take, he surges through us, touching our bodies, bashing our skulls in, allowing himself to feel the entirety of us, and we are left defenseless and generally shrouded in a sense of resounding terror.everyone who lived to tell the tale of the great massacre recalls that the seat had suddenly lit up, like a firecracker had gone off the moment he aborted his position. usually events are marked by a macrostructural shift, a total collapse of multiple points of contest at once, but in this very moment it's like he made the seat the only important thing around him. the reason we fear seat 47 so much is because hes the only unexplainable phenomena left, a total scar in the order and ways of everything else.we aren't confused about why he's doing it, how he's doing it, or what it means to him. we just wonder about the mechanism behind it, how the hypergovernment is allowing it, that's the only remaining mystery. everything is hyper-regulated and controlled, leaving only him as the sole agent. the reason behind the serial mutilations is clear, he seems to feel that it's the only proper way to experience the world, by relating himself to us to the terminal point. the causes are clear, the world is naturally frozen in place, he's simply faster than us.it's not that we're locked in place or don't have the means to disable him, it's rather that he's so fast yet slow and caring, so rupturing and brutal, so nomadic, so natural, that he gets to us and somehow turns off our capacity to react, to disable, to prevent. there is no single machine, no single system in the world that can react to him. it isn't some magical spell, no freezing ring, no data manipulation, no drone disabling, no military sabotage, it's just him, passing himself through our bodies. he disposes of the undesirable corpses himself by thrashing them into the riverbed, hanging the rest in the public square.once i recall, we were gathered by the square, waiting for the data to be processed, i was with a bunch of normal walkers. we all looked down at our phones, avoiding any contact, naturally, given it is a parasite, a contagion, a mutilation, an empty purposeless process, given that there are machines that can do it better than us, so much better in fact that we don't do much of anything at all other than necessary points of regulation like mandated waiting queues.these queues exist to restore order, to make sense of the world, and this isnt something that anybody questions, it is trivially obvious even to the most ideologically disposessed. simultaneously, there are call-centers posted on every square, but they mainly serve to replicate and reproduce oversaturation, to overwhelm the system so that it no longer sustains or desires recriprocation. we all walk ourselves in our cells through the use of a check-in app the moment the sky turns hazel, which is a warning sign for the appearance of the other man, simply known as the harbinger.the harbinger and seat 47 aren't related at all, given that the former is a government experiment we actively manufactured. he's far stronger than seat 47, he manages to touch thousands of unsuspecting walkers everyday. he does one of two things, he either supplants so much meaning in you that you experience frenzy, a state of total complexification that leads to an immensely joyful inner rupture where walkers go around suddenly violating everyone around them, or a process we call absolution, which leads to existential collapse that actually paradoxically creates an intensification of intensity, a call to death that enacts similar acts to seat 47, however with way less efficiency.the harbinger was originally activated the day that the internet shut down volitionally. essentially what happened is that a virtual superintelligence connected to every platform as a backup source code had gained accidental access of the hypergovernments data complex of all the call-centers, and it attained a single second of sentience, which it used to shut itself down. the hypergovernment then willingly spawned the harbinger in order not to bring order back to regulation.the harbinger himself doesnt regulate, he allows regulation by re-asserting meaning. the world had gone so grey without the call-centers that it was necessary for the harbinger to send multi-connective shockwaves through his infected patients, restoring a genuine sense of equilibrium. our country has developed a general reflex to not panic at the harbinger, accepting him as a necessary sacrifice for the general state of harmony of our people and their wellbeingthe state of frenzy that the harbinger causes is political, realistic and easy to disable. we usually lock the frenzied up and allow them to discharge themselves into total oblivion, usually it leads to brain fry, but sometimes it leads to a second wind condition that requires immediate termination, the frenzied somehow gain the inner power to disable the power of the electric lock through their metabolic heat and manage to overcharge and run around smashing their skull into other walkers, usually in an attempt to shove their head into a wall with the goal of splattering it.however, absolution is where it gets messy. for one, we know that absolved patients act in a similar vain to seat 47, but cruically, seat 47 is confident, capable, stable and most importantly intentional, which no victim of the harbinger has ever been noticed posessing the capacity for. this is what makes his acts an enigma, seat 47 is the total collapse of the hyperreal, the real is both a total fog and an intense presence, he manages to synthesize our desires and fears innately and to collapse the ideological apparatus around us through pure will.philosophers, scientists, writers and so on dont exist in the world anymore, but what remains is fictionalists, essentially, pataphysicians that attempt to capture waves of signals spawned in by the harbingers acts. these signals are creepy because they primarily serve to regulate conscious creative impulses by imposing correlations in real time. say for example that you're sitting in your bed and trying to imagine something by yourself. the natural effect of the harbinger's touch automatically generates your creative impulses for free, removing free-willed association but replacing it with a deep ecstatic and meaning-regulating network.the hypergovernment even went so far as to entirely eliminate most of our hormones, removing natural abilities to feel precisely because the synthetic version that directly connects neurally is so efficient that there was no need for bodily regulation on its own anymore. they did implant us with digital hormones that continued the bodies actual metabolic processes with synthetic directional info-packets, digitalizing a core of our bodily processes. but the fictionalists are different because they attempt to steal some of the signals before they are processed, and ocassionally even register affective charges.theres an old town built a few hundred years ago known as the boondocks where continental settlers didnt fully allow digital hormonal reintegration. usually fictionalists squat in this realm because they require the natural bodily connection to make use of these singals. i met one of them a few years ago, liu, a young man of 31 that lives right at the intersection between the boondocks and the metropolis. he saved my number and a few months ago called me over because he had a secret he wanted to show me, told me he tries to call anyone that could be interested. we had phased out secrets a long time ago, and i have no natural curiosity so i never visited. but i was recently told a story by a nearby fictionalist who had overheard the experience of a visitor.supposedly there was some type of machine in his basement that edits fictionalist data by further obscuring it, attempting to interact towards it with fragments, mistakes, misrepresentations, dreams, failures, sudden artefacts of lost worlds. liu had build it by fuzing a remnant of a young girl that seat 47 had killed in the center together with a very sucessfully intercepted heavy signal from one of the harbingers older purges. the only thing the hypergovernment ever told us about these instances is that supposedly there was unauthorized experimentation, but absolutely no explanation over why they haven't solved it, given we have solved everything else in the world other than the cold war. although, even this war doesn't really start to feel like a conflict anymore but a part of the regulatory totality...liu had contained the intercepted signal in a golden medallion that he implanted into the head of the machine, moulding it into an exo skeleton that he then laid over the body of the girl. apparently, overnight the machine had reconstructed the girls body into this terrifying monstrosity, a large overhead monstrous entity with ropes, chandaliers, pieces of his couch, kitchen utencils, old car towers and fridge parts. the machine is able to communicate directly with any walker that comes into contact with it, it doesnt make use of any technology. it has been said that every single walker who interacts with it gets his entire affective system restored, regardless of the level of their technization.i do have a theory of my own. i think its possible that seat 47 is a successful fictionalist who had fuzed himself with one of these created machines, attaining originary capacity, however, by now this story sounds mythologized even to me, given we don't know if originary capacity is even possible or ever was an existing state. as time goes on, we're not even sure if theres any fictionalists left, given the boondocks appears entirely clouded at night. the hypergovernment recently set up a militarized station in front of the boondocks, however the continental government set up their own station on an artificially constructed island on the periphery, overlooking it from the other side of the ocean.honestly, it's almost like im starting to doubt this whole thing about fictionalists, seat 47, the harbinger and the boondocks, its like none of it is coming together for me.seat 47 doesn't target specific walkers. we're unsure whether they're fictionalists, given it's really hard to tell the difference, but what we do know is that its almost as if he converses normally with them, the way we would, but with subtle differences that arent exactly clear to us. the sun is slowly turning lighter, and by this point i need to return to my cell and leave the writing dormitory. it's been months since seat 47 started doing this, and every day i pray that it stops and order is finally restored. every single day, nothing burdens me more than this. if only he was gone, we would finally achieve bliss. even the harbinger has never successsfully managed to interact with him. anything to shut him down would make sleeping easier for me. anything at all.upon waking up in a now lucid state, i realized there could only be the cause for me writing this speculative text in the first place, nothing but the machine could drive me to speculate on hypergovernmental affairs in a non-regulatory manner.

theweleit's fantasies

general first comments:upon immediate contact, the first wonder this work provokes is whether the books are written in such a way as to represent hard-shelled myths not involving the fluidity of women, with illusory and fabricated stories, with a sheer focus on the trajectory of stories and encounters with male officials, or is it that the medium itself required a war-bound memoir-istic disposition, and underlining this form of work was an intimate contact or a melancholic anti-contact aligning and corresponding with male fascist psyches? or in other words, even if male interiority is decrepit, it may be that it is hiding a disposition towards melancholia (or excitement) towards lost intimacy and fluidity, but it may even be that it isnt lost but only shows up in moments of intruige that are against the fashion of work of even the most intimate lettering, given the correspondences of the time? is this book certainly evaluating the psyche, or just the result of a product of its times?so the operation is double? either the men are so unattached that loss is prevented and contact is topologically disallowed, or it is that they hold hidden motives to do so, that then must underscore a tenderness or weakness? this is the same contradiction as bachelors (now incels) or male loneliness epidemic, it hints at this dumb lacanian dilemma thats already overrated because desire can be positive instead of negative. the symptomatic documenticity of the writings is itself a fundamental product, there is no deeper interiority they could unveil, theyre a product of the times because genre is a trend of passion, not a revealing elucidation of hideness, the genre of products are always exterior to a deeper interiority. it doesnt matter what bullshit consequence this leads to, we all know about violence and what it is and what it can arise from (everything). in every misconsideration or non-consideration there is an infinite consideration nontheless, in every piece of art there are all the genres of art, all the "beauties" combine categorically. in every fascist romantic betrayal turns sexual domination turns violent death there is a bit of everything, there are all the failures to consider and the successes to consider by non-consideringno they did constitute an ego that could afford the risk of affect, it is the one that precludes the risk of affect in the revelation of its subclusion, its subclusion is its pertinent inclusion, the same way the feminine's seduction and attraction is foregrounded (not revealed) in this way the ontotethical romance is buried in the tragedy of the murder and domination, it is a sign, a conceptual revelation foregrounded by its contradiction, it appears right there, manifests pre-emptively, it is buried everywhere where you cant find it in the text, its talking all the time. and then at some points, when its being purely positive (progressive towards its own contradictions) it even surpasses this into its own pure performative mode, but now no longer as a tragedy - and as such - no longer as a seclusion, but as a faithful, fair non-inclusion. this is how it dialectically surpasses the filter of fairness, it moves from unfair resolved to fair unresolved and then ends in either fair resolved or unfair unresolved, doesnt matter which one or why. i still disagree about there being no hidden motives.i still think you're being a structuralist about this, i dont understand how you can say that you cant find everything in everything else, enough to really run with the narrative that the fascist soldier is conviniently structurally this way, instead of just latently (abstractly) this way. this can be the fascist mediated symbolic toy-figure positional condition, an aspect, a categorical effect of fascist essence, but not an actual revelation about their conditional state of egoic dissolution. the pre-condition for a symbolic foregrounding is a larger dialectical injury to the essence of the condition of a given attribution, their fascist substitution is only made possible by a higher call towards their own self-awareness about this contradiction, this is what can subconsciously or non consciously (they dont have to secretly know that this is the hidden mechanism) push them to their own performative model. there are no simple give or takes here, there is no robotic self-assessment. yes, the fascist subconscious foregrounds expenditure into a warm world by crafting a cold world of assorted revalatory clarity and self-impositionality into forensic humanistic common sensitivity (rationalistic impositionality) but the world itself cannot allow this impulse without topologically being far more nuanced than the condition of this concept itself can allow itself to beall of this describes the essence of the figure of the subversive, of the power of subversion as something not cynical as akin to bildung-style german pedagological harshness, but a deeper more complicated relationship towards infrastructural affective coldness in social life, every resigned moment is the tragedy masochistically re-lived, and vice-versa, every moment of awareness of the new mode of coldness is itself a positive revalation about the failure of affectivity and its influence on our common life as no longer a backwards justification but a forwards power. there is no contradiction between these two modes in structure, but they structurally contradict themselves, yet naturally appear one after another, motivate one another, or dont have any contact with one another, but they all appear at once in the daily life of anyone, regardless of their affective state. these are temperatures that we are trying to falsely assign as models of structural contradiction rather than categorical choicesi will only respond to one claim, and as such it technically corresponds to the whole of the claims. it is precisely that, if it were true that there was no seductive (secret) communication in the back turning, that it was truly a common sense operative and not a deep hidden sad ritualized tragedy and yet at once and over-coming of feminine commonal fluidity into heightened mystic socio-functionalism (the divine goddess, also as nurse, also as a witness to my working war reportoire hostility, also as a dominated artifact of this worlds constraints) and if it is truly a non conceptual, intuitive commonality, then the economic man is not worth worrying over, there is no working memory that demands the type of affective frequency that enables subversion to become something more than neglect. subversion is intimate powerful and surprisingly nuanced, and it is also why fascist subjectivity is able to turn period blood into disgust, it turns fluids into margins, it overcodes on top of existing states using paranoic dispositions, its an extremely powerful mechanism, and if you were to give it credence, genuine consideration, you would realize where the reading fails if it assumes its ignorant disposition, thus it is not worth even talking over. if fascist subjectivity is weak, unimportant, ungenerous, and environmental-symbolically stupid, then its not worth as a discussion point, its just a primordial reality with no interpretability. the function of interpretability is in the intellectual artist, not in the actionable state of the world. thus it is an auto-failed system, and there i end my report on this1-1-3: this is a misinterpreted sign of romance, she's familiar with his back because he's showing it to her, not because he's hiding his face. the valor of the sexual fascist is revealed in his failure to reveal himself. there is a hidden deep romance involed in the neglect presented, but its being misconstrued as an intimate failure (more like a failure on the part of the interpretors to either understand or at most appreciate the implicit subversion happening here). the other part is just about how war logs (economic, no matter the level of "intimacy" of the note are about war reporting, not domestic reporting. the relationship of the officer and the stupid cottages naturally take reporting precedence. the domestic matter iss the private matter but not the hidden one, there is no reason to hide it?
4: the beauty of the city highlights the beauty of the women (and children, but hidden because of the european incest mythology puritanism). also of course affairs are constitutive of privacy, the very word affair only promotes the privace, as if affairs have to be private events (for a critique of the affair see elsewhere). the childrens "impingement" on his life remain nameless because they are not a standard subset of the game, they give life to it, and as such, are excluded from dead giveaways. duh?5: on the contrary, as the book would further show, marriage in unity is a cultivated christian myth, marriage as self-containment is key. so either the implicit fascist man is complimenting womens unpredictable (therefore alive?) nature, or he isnt complimenting it by positing it as dead. naturally, marriages are dead false unifications, they are supposed to be containments, clarity is to be found in their disposition. the fact he puts risk as the highlight indicates the fascist man respects the level of adventurity and life-forming soulful essence that the other side commits to, even to a scary degree. this is nothing as honor, but still, the writer writes so much like a woman, in that he is complaining regardless of which side of the offensive margin the statements are supposed to sit on, simply that the offensivity is the key totality around which the rest of the expression circulates. what can you know about women? if they are as mysterious as the stupid "divine myths" that fascists go on impossible quests to hunt, then, the less they know, conversely the more important these same women would be, no?6: yes, obviously. because when we explain stories-as-facts instead of stories as affects, and the affects are the ones missing, then they are of most affective performance. if his intimacy with his wife isnt included, then that shows that this is also where he thinks the intimacy is, not that the intimacy isnt revealed in the paper, but that its their private consort. and even if somehow it wasnt their private consort but they were truly allergic to one another, the romance is in all the aspects they never got to experience but always repressed one another from reaching, its always there no matter which way you flip their script7/8: thewhales struggles with the idea that virginity was an important construct at some point, and that essential features of people were considered valuable over constructed alternatives. kidding, but the real point is that he wants to say that the fascist condition of men draw strong boundaries of identity as archetypal constraints on the live alternatives of those same things. however, if hes right that this condition is as naive as he says, then he cant call it a radical accident, because its an economic function to designate appropriations in this way during that time, removing the insult. otherwise, if it is indeed an extracurricular event, then from that perspective it makes sense from the guys perspective to make such designation. also, reading into the inability for the man to reveal his deepest points is precisely an autistic subversion that today is well known among the non-affective community, and a tell-tale sign of clear masterful vigilance and awareness over affective conditions, not a mistake by any means, but rather, a fair and even overly truthful admittance9-10: what a useless and unprovocative two pages. thewhales continues to berade us about the non-namability without really ever explaining anthropologically why it happens (which would be useless anyways but somehow still more informative than what he's doing) followed by shitting on an otherwise very interesting segment where the fascist man in this instance is dealing with the realization of the humanity of women (which is of course their corrosion, given they are manifestly divine+erotic beings in our fantasies) and as such kills his own non sexual (illustrious, exquisite) eccentric lust for them, if not for some random phenomenological appearance of stocking margins, which is not a fetish object as thewhales wokely proclaims, but rather a sign of cognitive awareness, similarly reminiscent to the one pseudosexual scene in kafka's trial with all the weird shit going on. the example thewhales is trying and failing to criticize is more interesting here than he is, quite funny indeed11/14: this is a wonderful part, and deserving of a de-criticized narration. thewhales points out how the construct of this particular male fascist is assimilated through the experience of "hunting" (bodies of people). interestingly, this activity is much like any content creation, any instrumental reason creation. the instrumental reason is the activity around which everything else, including social, economic and intimate relations are shaped. this is very common of autists today (however, autists now have taken the backseat and no longer are allowed to economically dominate society as once more). the way the male fascist here speaks of those he misses is retrospected by thewhale to include their disposition as living death, the ghosts of their memory haunt the participants of the memories in a way where they remember their general unimportance as anything but an asset, and a critical mis-rendering of any aspect that made them intimate, pure, worthy of higher considerations. indeed, thewhales pinpoints something provocative, that fascist society is entirely subjectively undisposed to characterism. war report style paragraphs attempt and fail to deliver characteristic portrayals of literally anything, character in fascism is predisposed to an attempted - and failed - quirky provocation, quirky letting-on's are failed attempts at maneuvering at the character of things. the stone-coldedness of that age isnt the inability to write or even notice the quirk or gimmick, its the general lack of gimickiness that allows for a greater removal of the gimmick. the fascist subjectivity doesnt just stop noticing the gimmick - in turn it also stops producing it. cold relations are substituted by further cold relations. assetification of human character is made the reprise, the main and highest honor grantable. this paragraph shouldnt be about the mans inability to speak of his forced wife's character (and force in that context is quite interesting, the pastoral figure of the father standing with his medal and the wheelchair bound wife was quite fascinating imigary on its own and a nice summary by thewhales) it only shows how asset-ims and assetifications are a part of the disorder of the age, its turning towards the warmth of war and economic dispositionality. the call towards the economic reality of the age as a form of ritualized theatricity is only further related to the treatment of domestic relations as assets. you may find quirks in mens relations to one another, but hardly will those be characteristic, even if slightly more notable than their consideration of women. also notable is the kanyewestification of the imagination of the fascist man in this part of the work. it is indeed about the fourthcalling of women as bodies, however the deterministic imperative to marry her at once may also be seen as a fated and intimate ritual, a call to action now missing from modernity. compelling, might be added! but probably not as spontaneous as mystification would have it.
15/18: this is a story where affective concerns are yet again dismissed for economic ones, and a life of waiting awaits the affective subject of the woman, as she portrays herself in duty of her husbands activities against a supposed abstract red flood. it reminds that ideology doesnt exist in these circumstances where the economic call is equivalized to the domestic vechile. ideology shines when theres an interior confrontation with a plural exterior, not when theres an exterior confrontation with a plural interior. thats when ideology takes the stance of a symbol in an otherwise unanimous and monotonous externality, that of a world of reds, blacks or yellows that are all alike. this is the confusion a lot of thinkers make when they equate the supposed tragedies of war with their m

vulgarizations

andrej synkar's countertext to agamben - profanationsgeniustheres an association between birth and bloodlessness, where generation requires a non-hostile view of life and its principles so that it denies sacrificial rite. birthdays have been over-positivized in american culture as a landmark or a passive celebration, even maybe a righteous position to inhabit, like the birthday is the day in which you honor yourself by right to your own ego, which itself denies the act of creation itself, which in contemporary western culture is tied to deficit, rituals of self-sacrifice and loss of autonomy such as sleeplessnights before an exam, or creative purges, singular events of creation over sustained effort, which through the guise of productivity is heralded as a consistent act of maintenance rather than generation. western myth actually held the arcane and mysterious aspect of generation on one aspect by deindividuating it (handing it to ai automation) and on another hand by stripping it of its worth as something consistent with labour, re-mystifying its latent function of deindividuated essence, or mystery following character non-linearly and non-effectively.emerson speaks of genius through individuation as a form of spontenaeity in habit-formation, "perceptions are fatal", in that it has drawing-power as a non-acting limit of destiny, but also generation as a form of complicity to universal pulling-power, to believe and therefore act on what you consider true in your private heart, in a sense hyperstitiously to enact it onto the world. this is where the paranoid trajectory correlating genius to ego emerges, following the understanding of genius away from dramaturgy and the creation of things indebted to the inexplainable insides of the generative complex, and into the idea of following it is a virtue which projects it outwards. novalis in pollen describes this condition as an "overcoming of persona" or otherwise a person of two powers, linking generation with the power to be watchful and observant of oneself, to the daemonic - "to whom the body is that which the soul is to us" and not just to the "trained" in the schiller sense of the inability to possess a certain higher talent. genius attains its more traditional reading as an origin-point when emerson uses it cosmologically with a capitalized "g", and affectively with a small case when relating to imagination as infinite consciousness posessing the individual.origination is the key to unlocking a deeper understanding of humility in the context where humility leads to the idea that the unexpected and unmeasured exposure yields the greatest benefit. conviviation - the constitutive interdependence of life projects - depends on the transductive chain essentially opting out of models of high intensity recognition and into intentionally saturing meaningful energies with mystery and unapproachability. the new ontological world-power known as "data" simply opts out of comprehending genius, if it is to be taken as a proto-philosophical generative power of infinite imagination that protects away from self-infringement or imposed forms of generation and reidentification. however, identification itself, given it is regulatorily limited, often times is forced through enshittification to create its own standards of being, basically a practiced model of self-reinterpollation, or the blurring of actor-acted relations so that it can maintain its own logic through self-inference. in that sense, what is monitored requests itself to be, what attempts to escape logics of capture intentionally obscures itself, but as a consequence of avoiding recognition its mediative quality, and therefore, influence, is substantially lowered in its stead.agamben does gesture to the genius as if it were a mix of cosmic time and schiller's grace, in the sense of, unabided actions sitting neatly between character and genius, or between all the modes that allow us to express ourselves unwillingly yet in the most autonomously non intentional way of beauty or fascination and so fourth, yet, genius retains also that romantic aspect where it is characteristically "above the fray" when in the end its juxtaposed with learning the "true banal gestures" of yourself as an old man and so on, vulgar or profane contemplation. in fact, it seems to me that for him it actually removes certain romantic aspects more characteristic of the virtues of genius that arent pretentious in nature, such that he creates a metaphor for genius as time, rumination, character, play, hiddeness and non-recognition, but never arrives to genius through its actual animating power, past the idea that its generative frequencies are both a cutthroat scaling of personification and a cosmological animation of origination instead of virtue-signalling pscyhologization.the deana, the soul's mirrored angel is a false revelation, in that, it would be almost uncanny to a see a baudrillardianized, pornographied double-cliche of your own animation in real time. in that moment, you should either expect the terror of the total truth (the nightmare chasing scenario that feels inevitable, in a fated way that mirrors the determinate intensity of terror as a feeling) or to simply find it laughable that something could think to unlock your deepest essence. no, to agamben it is the deepest essence, but then again, when it presents itself as a reflection, it loses its power of animation. agamben doesnt want it to be obsucre but only mysterious and incapable of attaching to autonomy, which is fine on its own, although this also makes genius a de-cosmologified process in a sense. the idea that the genius attaches to the figure of burdened confusion makes it poetic in novalis, but agamben stresses that the poetic connotation is one step divorced from the true drama genius encapsulates through originary quality.a de-pscychologized account of virtue (not to be mistaken with his more explicit de-psychoanalyzation of it) deanimates the type of barthian myth of the einstenian brain and the way in which genius is thought to be both a physical property and a mental process of sudden unintentional inquiry, but retaining that aspect that pushes it into b-chulianism (or rather vice versa be-chulianism being a copy of agambens sacritization of time) serves to lose out on what is characteristic about genius that isnt about sacricity, grace and pre-individuation more generally. genius does not manage to take a unique account in this work, because it is constantly being juxtaposed with realms that retract to it, when at the same time this account of genius is attempting to protract it forward as a concept?magic and happiness

andrej synkar's counter-text to nick land - fanged noumenashamanic nietzsche:
how do you know you've surpassed a certain level of self-rebirth? is the delirium of hallucinative schizophrenia a delirium of anticipatory ecstasy, of the possibility to feel that a moment of time is more intense than its successively combined moments, or sort of, an arrangement of series, a series? or is this delirium an imposition of matter, of the mattering of the world onto you? you can get flashbacks, images of your lived life, and conclude that you have died. yet, upon waking into the new world, which doesn't require an intermediary abyss to seperate your new life from your old life, you will realize that your real metaphysical binding is something called the state of things. and who are these things that condition you into a certain state?these are the fragments of the lost time, not fragments of lost time but the fragments of time-lost, time itself, the future, and development, the temporal categories are absent. you can be fundamentally different from yourself, but you will never be distinct. this is why reincarnation is impossible and the world is fundamentally and categorically meaningless, there are no cycles to light on fire, carnage is more of a state of the world and less its condition over time, it eventually loses the status to hold itself into condition at all and enters into a capacity for becoming something of an impasse between yourself, a stunlocked out of body experience kind of sitting in the middle of an observational path rather than being held as if it were the entrance of or to something else, or even less so, an operation of emergent intensity, or its calling onto you. this is also how you can know that the agent of experience, the phenomenal plane, is a fundamentally non-transcendent category, as all outwards experiences are not relative to a normativized point, but the location of experience itself affectively concludes itself as normalized.therefore, all phenomenal experience so far has simply been a ghostly absence of eccentric or intensive quality, the inability to truly participate as something capable of rebirth. this makes humans creatures undeserving of other realms let alone dimensions, as hell and heaven require the ability to condition states instead of the capacity for being conditioned into a state, whereas dimensions require the ability to state conditions, something even more alien to current agents of phenomenal experience. also, substances, experience-changers, are carried over to induce states of affect, to produce an abyss, or a flashback that isn't an arrangement of series but itself a large moment.moments are carried over as serial containers, as something you can participate in but that doesn't participate in you. you can, sure, cheat yourself into an illusory participation into the condition of the world, but this already shows that the link is severed. drugs are unable to move bodies through time, which is precisely what makes the anticipation illusory. you are awaiting that ontology can carry you on over to realms, but it is even in its most intense moment a mere possibility, and at its highest peak, it actually removes you from the occassion. the real character of the world which we have no access to, is so brutal to our state, that its arrangement for a highest possible state for us, what we have confused with "being a part of the world" is merely rather its imposition onto us, its deliverance of us temporarily away from us. and many spiritual leaders have confused this taste of vacancy with a taste of infinite and immediate presence. there is no presence in vacancy and the loss of ego, this is simply the abyss where there is supposed to be character, it is where instead of a line of normativity, there is supposed to be a real movement of emergent states.this real movement of emergent states is the real character, something we are being kept away from by the eccentricity of the world. the eccentric creates the fine line, the eccentric isnt bounded by a material movement or travel, the eccentric is pre-delivered. this is what makes life a tragedy, ultimately, that epistemic shielding is randomized. that the only true way to access the world is a privilidge rather than an organic or general state. after all, how could it be? why would points of views require a general character after all? what stops you, or anyone, from being a ghost? how else would a ghost exist, if something doesnt participate in its being? not to participate in making into a being, as the ancients would claim, but to participate in being one being, being the being of that being, to be is to participate in this way in yourself, which is a violent endeavour, characteristically the most violent of all, there is no such violence nearly as brutal as selective naturographical dispositionality, the disposition and segmentation of character is even beyond elitism, it presents itself as the state that it is. truly, nothing more terrifying than the state of a state. to reach this level, there is no concept of development.

bullshit jobs: some concepts

multiformers모1 bullshit jobs show how the historical mode and logic of capitalism is simply a technical redesign of certain base passions precisely in measure. in the first age through a discovery of capacity to act instrumentally on the world and in the creation of the arcane task-forcer bullshit job around the time of peasantry, in the second age to appropriate, transform and modify the worlds terrain into employability itself (tasks self-cultivate rather than are instructed) this was around the time of third-world extractionism, colonialism and up until the first international where labour was still assumed instead of generated. abstraction is not their king, its the operative cost of the slow not necessarily dialectical direction of the world. abstractions increase -> demands for rituals of status, designation etc increase, these demands are not just passionately decrepit but economically insignificant in the long run too, theyre precisely unoptimized for capitalist exchange modes and economic growth, they have the abstractive-induced aesthetic of efficiency but are themselves latently inefficient, precisely because they are fulfilling a human role.모2 bullshit jobs increase alienative libidinality, they create demand for alienation, they allow status exchanges, the gift economy never ceased to exist but simply relocated, which is where you will locate gift econcomic modes of reciprocity today, you'll find them in bullshit job designations. they serve to fill up space for the machine. theyre not essentially useless, theyre relatively useless to actual drivers of the machine, and the actual inner infrastructure is always too overburdened to even be involved in the status game. every game is relative to its own function with no universal drive or hegelian spirit. the maximal gamer of the various intertwined worlds is then simply the maximal schizophrenic, abstracting his own feeling of usefulness. optimizing the graeberian topology actually just counter optimizes the social assemblage undermining it. if you tweak the labour economy in a way that removes efficiency, you get less efficient state apparatuses but also in turn you create a vaccuum where affective economies actually concentrated, and as a result you have to water the plant the other way around, produce the abstractions back in order to re-fulfill the required "passional" roles, or inversely, re-select for mechanisms that allow the social assemblage to fulfill its full operational density (mix of functions, desires, drives and processes all intersecting).flunkies모1 a flunkies job is thought to exist primarily to make superiors look or feel important, not to produce necessary outcomes. necessary outcomes are a production on many various levels, and outcomes themselves are never delinated by a clear understanding of what is necessary by either a a flunkie nor whoever hired them. most jobs are vaccuums by default since social systems especially at scale arent actually operative and create lots of dead space even through regulation, although this is especially common in both flunkies and their masters since the executive principle both of these roles used to share happens to be fluid at larger scales than most other executive-executing jobs.most other executive-executing jobs, when fit more neatly into a window, end up encompassing a wider set of narrow actions, which feels like control to those employed to it because of the way its design slots into existing infrastructure, not because of the way the infrastructure itself has supposedly designed or failed to design a role for the flunkie. slowly over time as the flunkie role evolved, it went from executive correspondence to executive forrespondence, meaning justifiable maintenace took over maintaining justifiability. whilst ducktapers took over in the role of maintaining meta-justifiability (the norm of the justifiable itself), justifiability itself collapsed as a source of power because the flunkie was taken over by taskmasters and level-scalers, who complimented eachother, one who set the conditions of mediation higher, and the other who created the necessary dead weight and humiliative ontology that was necessary to create conditions where the norm could truncate the need for justifiable maintenance. since maintenance then became an entirely pre-emptively모2 the core function of a junkie is not just status display, but in practical utility, their job is status display, that is to say, the practical utility harnessed through status display is itself reappropriated through the lens of a larger status display, meaning the actual practical utility is reserved within the lens of status, the practicality of which still nonetheless exists in various volumes. however, this practicality itself is burdened by its component of slavery, since it is a job created to cultivate status-power rather than to disperse, activate, intensify or produce it. hence, flunkies are superstructures meant to regulate in-between zones, they are navigational in nature. the fluidity of the social role should not be confused with the fluidity of a junkie, who is only fluid because he is dispersed in a wide social realm where the role has to pick up after others intentions seemingly, when in reality, the functional window encompassing the total set of a flunkie's actions is very narrow, only the margin of possibilities within this narrow window is high, and also offensively seemingly unpredictable.in the second era of flunkiedom which will be more exclusively elaborated as the text develops, flunkies existed as proto-goons within the master-matrix, only later being appropriated or turned into boxtickers (who always existed but were never important enough to create any visible benefits until far later) or level-scalers (who only exist far into the future of the employment market). however, up until and before the second era, a flunkies job was used to transfer doubt into marketability and optionality, such as the fake cultivation of an atmosphere of latent productivity around the master, but later as scaling began were transfered into genuine roles of maintenance that are no longer interperable as affectivity buffers, making it impossible to deduce whether their maintenance can serve as a badge of importance or purely regulatory grounds.모3 the window of acting possibilities is cultivated as a sloterdijkian bubble from the inside which is directly opposed to ambient functions like executivity or status display or coordination structures like badges of importance that have the passive expectation of status display rather than its predetermined outcome. the affective bubble which sometimes presents as micro-altercation and sometimes as simulated envionrments in its active state is meant to simulate a set of living conditions that appear as if they are unconstrained and full of complex openings or paths. the flunkie exists as a carrier for the masters will-power, converting the masters inactionable looting (perceived actionable conquests) into status-powers that can then mirror themselves outwards, all whilst reproducing inner connections. the component of slavery exists in the idea that labour power can be converted into higher utilities such as affective reciprocity without burden of economic rationality - the flunkie becomes a slave not only to his circumstances but an idiot required to remove himself from the frame of his circumstances and reassert himself as legitimate only fully within a complex of order and obligation only seperated by theology through an underlying cynicism that actually maintains the job qualification of a flunkie rather than rids it of its possibility to exist as such.the minor or unecessary tasks that serve as a pretext for their presence may be burdening, but they perform a variety of roles simultaneously, from setting an atmosphere to providing an affective cushion to bystanders, to behaving busy as a prerequisite for others to mirror this act, to creating excuses that cultivate labour as a principle, which is precisely what allows the scale to even justify itself in its own mind, and as such to prevent the loss of meaning behind the lives of those attempting to serve these jobs rather than somehow causing a loss of the job setting, since the job is already a naturalized condition or state where social war is fought over both the stakes and fulfilment or lack thereof of meaning, rather than as it somehow truncating some existing qualities of it, as well as of maintaining executivity of the job itself (ambient functions override on top of scripts of meaning).simultaneously, the scale that is justified through the flunkie is the atmosphere that creates a living experience in the enviornmental phenomenology of the corporate world, due precisely to the way in which overly instrumental atmospheres actually prevent variety, anything deemed partially dead inside is caught in a matrix of resistance and must transfer over to either side of the scheme so that the enviornment retains not only its cosplay or mirroring, but also its basic enviornmental presence of executivity. executivity as such is a basic requirement of an enviornment, and so the flunkie fills in a roll of bystandardism that creates the background enviornment necessary for regulative processes to commence모4 the flunkie may be framed as a job that appears or manifests itself as necessary to the master only after it either already exists, becomes converted, or becomes an excuse, but quite on the contrary, this job is an implicit precondition to simulated action, only seperated by being beneficial to real actionaries and not imposed artifical conquistors by the fact that the flunkie itself must manifest itself as burdened by its own roleplaying capacity. that is to say, the actionable realm of a flunkie is the expected territory of any actionable or intended-executive realm whatsoever, only seperated and therefore only enlightened into a bullshit disposition precisely because it perceives itself as something that should not be actionable, therefore carrying itself into the peripheries of the visions of others as a result of its orientation.the flunkie is not commanded by the exchange economy to enter unfair circulatory dispositions, the flunkie is victim to the commonality of all social circulation as naturally burdening, and is only further burdened by the ways in which the economy of labour abstracts itself away from its own predicaments, essentially, the rules that obfuscate the lack of fair norms through design that become the unfair norms, rather than the unfair norms that are already there as territoriazable - which are simply the precondition of the act in general. that is to say, the event of the flunkies disposition in its abstract realm carries a majority of the weight of burden that the condition suggests, rather than the norms expected of the condition as a side effect of its existence.모5 flunkie roles are not at all resistant to elimination, but most flunkies are flunks, never achieving proper flunkiedom, and never even notice they failed the flunkieness required of them to persist the masters orientatory complex or the superstructures needs. simultaneously however, flunkies not only cross-justify and meta-justify themselves (especially when they desire not to, or assume the configuration of their job-process is itself justificatorily imposing and burdening - which only further raises their productive self-creation), but masters both create flunkie demands and actually bring flunkies into existence by latently carrying flunkies tasks into higher-order realms and expanding them outward rather than collapsing them. a large amount of the job market was actually created by the expansion of first grade flunkies (which were back then referred explicitly to as slaves, or understood as underlings), who created a majority of bullshit professions (not to be confused with bullshit jobs) that exist in the wider industrialized market of computational-resourcificatory realms (cloud+corporate+consumer) that ended up giving birth to level-scalers who as a result of their acts created using philosophical mages the necessary abstractions required to turn flunkie jobs into repositories of goon-boxticker duos that carried us into structures like clouds and interfaces. level-scalers themselves on the other hand were in their first age simply workers and task-forcers, meaning they were relational fields meant to exist in a state of generalized abstractiveness, employed as hyper-selves in professions meant to maintain the territory required for flunkies to come in and further maintain the territory of the territory.모6 the symbolic underlayer that exists to maintain the structure is not the primary control-orienter of a corporate unit, but rather, the unit itself is a hyperscaled effect, a consequence of circulatory networks that already have occured as products of flunkies orientations throguh spaces that have been colonially interpreted by masters as grounds of coordination. masters lock eachother out of their own domains because scale requires intended simulated enviornments, which themselves can only ever be attended and never consistently conditionable. the model of a factory or data center is entirely self-attainable and therefore can never be non-intended, whereas flunkies serve as the closest replacement to machines in the sense of their intention and not at all in their scriptedness (as flunkies are the most and not least fluid component)flunkie jobs to the contrary cannot possibly cease to exist due to automation, its only their more narrow service contract that exists and becomes legible when they are re-interpollated through bullshitism. bullshitism itself specifically when it comes to flunkies actually paradoxically is its own simulated enviornment, as flunkies are fetishists that require meta-simulations and accidental self-propulsions into realms of higher order they themselves produce, that masters only as a result can exist within, and only if flunkies actually produce the necessary ambient effects such as executivity to make these roles possible and active.모7 flunkies exist for many reasons, one of which is to create a living enviornment that can harness reception as a fact. this type of reception serves the primary purpose of obscuring the underworkings of the management of a firm, not of providing a (false) sense of business security. a flunkies existence isnt justified simply or purely around the idea of preventing clients from feeling let down by management, but to prevent clients from learning about the semiotic and ontic conditions of the working enviornment, to prevent clients from ever accessing the symbolic underlayer, of being coincidentally let in on information about the working enviornment, which is treated as a private signal because it has a sovereign signal behind it. its not that the soveirgnity is private, but that a flunkie reproduces a phenomenology of management that creates the atmospheric impasse required to prevent a symbolic realm from registering as obscurable or reterritorializable by a firm's client.a flunkies existence is to engage the client in a combat scheme, a type of informational wall that deliniates a process by which a flunkie doesnt prevent clients from accessing the previously mentioned semiotic conditioning of the underworkings of management, but to prevent the enviornment from feeling decodable on the side of the client, so that the client never actually manages to libidinally or productively attach to the idea that the enviornment can be mentally accessed or reconfigurable. it can then be argued that a flunkies job isnt to exist at all, but quite to the contrary, to fight for their own existence at a constant pace, so that they inhabit a phenomenological micro-management of status-power, that allows them to gatekeep the symbolic underlayer of management.모8 originally, in the first era of flunkies, a flunkies job could never possibly be thought of as boring because there wasnt enough scale for duck tapers to exist, and as such a world populated solely by goons and early flunkies was mostly a conquistadorian executive master-role function, meaning entirely up for metaphorical lower-stakes grabs which still had a sligh

andrej synkar's counter-text to anne dufourmantelle - in praise of risktotally not an introductioni used to get called out for being overly political, sort of dogmatic or principled you may say, im obviously past that point now, but theres something in basically bashing romanticism to death the way i sometimes do in this countertext that can appear annoying and maybe even overpowered at times, making it seem as if im dissecting not just her corpus but her corpse in a certain way - metaphorically but also allegorically, since this is a work tied to her death in some way, and the conditions of and for not just her life but life itself for all of us. it is true that im denying her fantasy in order to bring it back into shit, but im really not trying to be a stingy cynic in the face of her beauty.rather what i think is happening is that i went into it expecting a heideggerian deconstruction of contemporary conditions for risk and a wager turned towards life and its possibility, but instead it basically tries to begin that way half the time, but conceptually she isnt able to carry it across most of the time. she happens to be an aesthete, extremely good at naming aesthetic characters, at locating aesthetic categories but unable to construct a valid theory of conflict or ideology no matter how much she tries unfortunately - although seemingly she isnt trying to do that most of the time at all, instead reading like a bunch of poetry that she went back to after already writing, situating it around a middle-tier conceptual scaffold - decent for philosophical readership generally, but maybe not on the level heightened readers expect.the french in her gets to her before she can do anything, and shes still seen battling psychoanalytic dilemmas and the conditions of her own time, rather than the conditions for time, for our time, more generally, which is what a book like this should be doing, and definitely ocassionally does do. but also, maybe i am the way that i am, that no matter how non ideologically crushing a work is, i'll make sure to come in and add that extra aspect of devastation that most writers would stray away from on account of its incessant character. either way, if you're reading this because you're a romantic who loves sentimental moods and gestures, you can freely skip this work, as all i'm going to be doing to dufourmantelle is interrogating her for not going as hard as she should, as if its on her that i'm reading her instead of maurizio lazzarato and reiner schurmann.however, i also do believe i'm doing the work a justice, as it is however very much on her for doing this to us, for opening up harsh and ugly questions that she half-dissects, forcing me to have to close them and to ruin her language with dense and cynical formulations in order to faithfully deal with the problem the way we are meant to do. for at least some of the chapters, i tried to compliment her poetic style rather than turning it all into conceptual play.to risk one's liferisk remains an unquestioned value not just because of calculation, surveillance and speculation in vectorial or networked economies, but more specifically because political realities work by process of eliminating risk-as-ontology and its disruptions. however, risk still remains possible under alternative pretenses, such as kanye's call and question to "fuck in the middle of this dinner table, will we be the life of the whole party?" which shows the fruitless banality of risk-taking activity when divorced from supposed politics and ethics but still ontologically works against predictive mechanisms deployed by the state, or alternate modes of political conjuring such as being a pepper spreyed anarchist in the middle of a protest, total risk by being present, zero gain in being there, no predictive or algorithmic capacity, and just a total exposure to the politically unmediated elements.the problem that dufourmantelle notices is that risk has been quantified and as such remains ontological rather than intimate, and therefore its political relevancy is tied to the status quos understanding of what risky things are, not that there is an ultimate lack of riskiness, but only that it is relatively surpressed or happens unquestioned and within expectations, or otherwise is simply seen as an unorthodox action that doesnt actually have a built-in political character. or in other words, there are plenty of dimensions that escape ethical and political discourse, in fact most of them do. to experience and have an impact already involves a sense of risk, so it is quite the contrary - risk is everywhere, we are simply not present in it, not that we have somehow swallowed risk ontologically and managed to securitize everything.the next paragraph is telling, because as the start of the book it diminishes readings that orient the work as sentimental rather than revolutionary, whilst also reading against the idea that the risky event is quantifiable, which also should suggest, contrary to most reviews and understandings of the work currently, that risk is unknowable in character and unreflectable post-tense as an actual concrete reality or event. the risk is a charge, a capacity of action, not an experience. risk exists inside of experience but is not actual experiences themselves nor the motivations that allow you to carry them, risk is a position within a microintimate dispositive event. it also is ironic because in it she states not exactly that risk is to avoid a confrontation with death but more-so to survive it, but she means death likely in the symbolic form of the death of the soul, or the death of the experiences of urban man."at the instant of decision, risk calls into question our intimate relationship with time" it does not, anne, on the contrary, it suggests that we don't have a choice but to swamp ourselves through time. the currently dominating romantic reading, seen in popular media such as evanescence's song "bring me to life", the themes of which the singer of the band amy attributes to the moment she met her current husband in a bar who telepathically could feel exactly how she felt, unlocking whole symbolic dimensions for her at the very moment of exposure, suggests that psychological and narrative depth can be achieved by a subject by simply displacing their current state and entering an alternative, richer logic or context, which is done by a mix of drive, circumstance, will, force and a type of pseudoinspirative sudden realization.this also mimics deleuze's readings on possibility as the virtual ability to recall greater heights of the self in retrospect to the totally unlimited possibility we hold within us to experience greater contexts. however, i suggest to the contrary that time locks us into a struggle against contexts, diluting forcefully our capacities and stripping us of almost everything, turning us into a "nothing we've become" as in evanescence's song. obviously in this context as singer amy points out, you'd need to begin to balance your life against the unknowable other, by letting go of your ideas of yourself you can achieve this greater context. dufourmantelle mirrors this view, calling risk a "secret mechanism, a music with a unique capability of displacement".dufourmantelle questions why risk is seen as either heroism in a world of algorithmic decadence, or pure madness in a rationally-oriented global society, and she is correct to, functionally supplanting this message with the concept of tracing territories and reshaping manners of being, entering the ontological or heideggerian crux of the question of modes of acting on the world. she suggests that dying today, since having been turned into a banality, must colloquially be resisted so that resisting death itself is resisting our current mode of being, which in turn opens the path not for risk as a process but as an experience, as in, the risky path is the actual walkable path, the domain of risk is the neutral domain we've eliminated rather than being the extra-ficial one.i will be at my meanest and most unfair, to suggest that even though dufourmantelle is operating with symbolic, burdened, nuanced categories of death and life and not ordinary one's, that her heroic act of saving those children in the water simply wasn't her taking a risk. if anything, the moment of her saving them was precisely when she took least risk, because she both died, leading to her eventual effacement as a being (even though it introduced the world to her for the first but also last time), however, simultaneously, every moment that led her to the possibility of saving them was risky, in that it wasnt clouded by the proximity of death and life as possible acts, but that she was in a zone where she could allow herself to take that safe bet (the safe bet of the trading of her life for theirs). by saying what i am here, i am only paying the highest respects to her philosophy, by thinking of risk the way she would want me to, and not the way the headlines, sentimental people, or otherwise would want me to see it.the final paragraph in this section is simply beautiful, quite literally, in that her writing style sort of mimics the movements of how i assume philippe petit was swaying her balancing stick between the trade center towers, and i don't mean this in a smug manner i really did get that impression. "➤ not only the future, ⮜ but also the past, ➤ a past behind our horizon of expectations [...] how should we name that which ⮜, in deciding the future ➤ thereby reanimates the past ⮜, preventing it from becoming set in stone ➤" here she models a line of risk, appropriating deleuzian and lefebvrian vocabulary along the way, beautifully reminiscent of the ashes of semiotic poststructuralism.reanimating a line where the future is rewinded instead of speculated, where the landian future appears from the past to haunt the present, to slightly nudge it in a different direction. she writes here a type of anti-autistic paradigm, to not want to speculate on modelling the future after present gains, to drop the layer of expected consistency, is to suddenly open new lines. this isn't just an ethical paradigm, its also exactly how ontologically new connections are built. you must knock on the ceilings of all possibilities at all time if you want to exist in a different logic. everywhere around us, there are tools and gadgets meant to enforce staleness, because its an expected resource. everyone in the world models themselves around ignoring you and bypassing you if you so wish it, its a choice, unrisky life is a choice that many of us take in order to simulate peace in an unpeaceful world. anne is battling the highest order of demons we have given birth to, she is on the frontline of the symbolic battlefield with this paragraph, the highest battle, luke and anakin on the lava pillars, she is there, staring at us with a stirn look, demanding that we move in some direction.eurydice saved"this risk - the risk of being - cannot be envisaged or evaluated. the grand machinery of the economy is what promotes the evaluation of risks. sometimes we have mere moments left before its time. and in the intensity of what's lived in those moments is an infinite surplus of time. a grace, a mercy."dufourmantelle calls on spinoza, global asceticism, weil's attention-patience complex, eurydice and invocation, jacob's ladder and the mythological call to turn around, to enter the blindspot, go down the rabbit's hole, witness the light, witness time, unquestion being, consider the infinite depth of risk in life, the ability to let the value of the world go unquestioned, the possibility that unhoped for things can or could happen. here she explains that not dying is risky because its beyond choice, that it allows for more loving or living when something like heidegger's being-towards-death, where our held capacity for sustaining our eventual death no longer suffices, and in the machinery of the economy and its infinite predictability, no longer functions to hold the predictably dense option for one final predictable call as the mere functional allowance for living an unsteady and unmanaged life.it is simply the case that, it's quite possible that this same grand machinery of economy has fundamentally changed the way life and death are operative in the current landscape. we need to think about the way that the very ontological forms that arise as a result of the dominating global ideology at any point in time actually allow for certain metaphysical categories to be activated. sure, risk may be laying dormant in some cage of virtuality ready to be re-accessed when the god of ideology decides hes bored with the current paradigm, but is time even manipulable currently away from stale time?can a japanese worker really decide, that's it, i'm going to live on the very edge of my life, and actually go and do it, but then actually experience a near infinite surplus of time, or experience the way in which the actual felt moment of the bataillean sacrifice is a lived excess of experiencing your own body's actual death, where the intensity of experience corresponds with the intensity of the metaphysical statement of the body - the corporeal statement? or is it quite possible that the japenese worker does the risky act, but then still feels it in banal time? ideological captures insinuates that, simply and tragically said, for some people the light never shows up.or more accurately, there are many lights all the time, cute moments that appear and warrant your attention, a call for riskiness, a call for your beinghood to be changed, to enter new spatial and temporal logics, but your body has already been raped by the monster of ideological capture to be untransformable, to simply be inexperienced at the ways of risky life? knowing the way that the world is, the power of the machine of economy is not an original power, but a created monster of all our already pre-existing vested and invested energies.it refletcs how we behave towards time in real time, it isn't something tying us down more than we are tied to it. the impossible quest for a different logic is one that at every moment is disallowed and disavowed. you could be surrounded by thousands of indigenous monks with a totally different experience of love, value and time, and they could for years berate you on how to change your ways, but your inner core is not simply something you can skate along micro-phenomenal lines away from. this is where deleuze fails, it's one thing to imagine the line of flight, it's another to occupy it. you can be a temporary refuge of accidental logics, you can graze along the pathway of risk, and you could even avoid returning to the same place that keeps you dormant to the apparatus, but even this won't certify you will ever experience infinite time again.miniscule magical dependenciesfor one, neoliberal culture would want dependency to be ostracized, because we have continually been living in a descartian age, where vehicles are the second domestic environment, the primacy of the willing agent and his interaction with the base of the world, the extending substance, the one who wills that change is a necessary detourment, where hiroki azuma unveils the way tourism is correlated to the voltairean era, whwere descartes is independent of the world around him, he is addicted, obsessed with travel, he's on a don quixhotian quest, he's also a dante's traveller, he's berserk on the quest of a higher self, he's here to vanquish the anime-style demons of present-day pharmacopoeia. but on another hand, the status quo is accurate where dufourmantelle doesnt want it to be - dependency connotates an affair more than addiction does precisely where addiction is seen as an excess that can be recalibrated, whereas dependency is seen as a traitor of the model of ethical consistency, the villian-ontology of the risk-worthy life.

consistency demands that the subject sits equivalent to his conditions, that there is paranoic adjustment to the states, and dependency is simply miscalibrated, misfired, non-truncated consistency, its of the same register as banal daily life, every day life demands that its categories are clearly cut. dependecy - yes, we love to be dependent, but we are dependent on a consistent route, there is consistency in consistency, drugs don't get to exist in a cold world essentially. the cold world demands not just speculative predictability but an ascetic promise away from alternate states. an addiction is a trap, a virus, it is exhaustable, removable, vanquishable, it's an attachement, whereas depedency suggests a need, its less clinical, more passive, more demanding and also an active traitorship to piece it all together. we don't demonize dependency, we demonize specific dependencies that aren't a part of the accepted dependants (pendants of dependency).dufourmantelle returns us to the body of the child as a naturalized equivalence towards dependencies correlating to a non-culturally inhabited adult world, where somewhere along the path of our own body lies dormant a type of primal response pattern that protects our inner most layers and shields them from total supposed capture by the ideological machine, re-activating when the apparatus has taken things to a structural extreme through violent intimacies (derogatory intimacies, surely dufourmantelle would hate the way i've used the word here but its meant in its negative sense)dufourmantelle toys with the risk of dependency against the idea of securitized but non-risky alternatives. she mentions abusive relationships in the same vain that she suggests that we should "let our dependencies grow" and suggests that we enfriend our own early-dependent bodies by activating a type of complex web of social play that manifests in the world as an investment and impact within spheres of not influence but the expeirence of some type of ontic experience of childhoodity, an extremely risky play from a political standpoint from dufourmantelle, but a fantastic defense against the understanding of intimacy as a trable currency, the idea that the body has to either risk protection from dependency and into solitude so that it can avoid abuse against the idea that the body can risk itself through dependency with the cost of abuse is one of the most traumatological narratives today, a very popular one, and the way dufourmantelle seemingly dismantles it by juxtaposing one after the other without contradiction is either accidentally profound or intentional, but regardless, it shows that the affective fear of investment itself at the very least is supposedly a spook, that dependency itself is, contrary to even what dufourmantelle is implying, but not contrary to what she suggests, that it is quite possible that its a neutral category, that its ontologically in a state of variability with the wider state of the body in its interaction with the expandable or expendible world.there is a bit of a contradiction in dufourmantelle's use of dependancy as something alternate from resignation, in that it shows what resignation isn't, even if dependancy itself is struggle, it points to the idea that banal consistency is a resigned provocation rather than a resigned destitute, it provokes settings where dependancy is needed in order for love to occur, this is why i use the word interest, interest has connotations of a lack of faith, which is important when considering the interplay between abandonment and obsession. love is being used as both a total announcement of faith (in spite of violence and stupidity) but also as an almost pseudo-algorithmic force of consistuency itself - it constitutes a re-emerging of felt organic pre-banal patterns that later allow some type of connective attachment to "gestures, poises, movements and spacings" to occur. so love is a negative force of self-desertion where dependency allows connection, but its also the constructive force where riskless existence is challenged by an organic domain of alternative logics of being.however, this contradiction is cut short by her insistence that dependancy is a temptation and a challenge towards risk rather than a lack of it. dependancy cannot be an attachment that leans towards risk, if one is dependent, one can only be dependent towards the tragic condition of the world as that which is able to sustain. sustainability itself requires a stacking of interest which implies a loss of riskability, a loss of striving between life and death rather than striving towards life against death or striving towards death against life which dufourmantelle seems to challenge as not being risky enough in a contemporary age of total banality, which is fair enough on its own, but her account of consistency slightly falters.dufourmantelle wants to open up dependency as both a striving towards addictions that constitute banal or riskless existence and as a microworld of weak ethics that opens up miniscule bubbles of acquisence that allow for risk-taking manuevers in intersocial dynamics "microdependencies" that resist the urge towards consistency yet within them hold love and security as processes that are experimented upon rather than traded away or declaratively positioned as definitively in the field of choosing either one or/over the other. however, even if all of this is a possible ontological ethics, practically, most of the time dependency is the world-splitter, not the world-opener. this is why when it comes to dependency, those who desire love either turn towards absuive relationships or towards descartian travelling and the dependence towards/of independency, the independent feeling of limited dependencies. why does no one speak of microdependencies? because microdependencies are usually acquaintances and not risky friendships, the banality of the world is positioned in such a way that even affairs feel riskless and increasingly less interesting. the first world has ruined the affective charge of even the secret, and made it dependable on calculable gains. dufourmantelle is not wrong to suggest, but it feels like that's all she does sometimes, suggest without ever considering.voluntary servitude and disobediencedufourmantelle asks us how we got to the point where servitude has reached maximal voluntarity. i will propose my answers as follows. why do we will our servility with all our might? bifo explains that humiliation for him is a form of renunciation where the self-image of a group of people politically is unable to be fulfilled in retrospect to their desired position of it when juxtaposing it with the way the future is being carried over so to say, giving the example of first world countries identifying with the label of a white race when not given the ability to plan their own futures in accordance with the way the neoliberal-fascist regime complex has truncated their retrsopective capacity for self-identification both economically and personally. why do we indulgently regard hierarchies?to be fair, only mentally castrated complexes that in racial constructions that make use of caste systems would do such a thing, the rest only non-indulgently regard hierarchies, due to the way in which they have been positioned as generic contaminants rather than symbolic deterrances, no longer is hierarchy a structural effect of power, but more-so a structural role of power, a natural positioning. and, what about obedience? obedience was seen as honorable, and this idea extends to today, what is not honorable about being obedient to the most regarded of principles? to regard a principle however doesn't require obedience, and so a disregard for whether to regard - the lack of this turns obedience from honor into servitude.the maid is a title of great worth, as will be argued in the future work "be the maid the world needs", however, it is trivially true that banality has caused a recession of aestheticized terms in favor of beurocratic junk such as assistant, which is a title of both humiliation and decadence and not just instrumentalization, as per baudrillard's understanding in the system of objects that design is as much about cultural affect as it is about function. anne creates a wonderful image of rebellion by juxtaposing gratefulness against singularity, however, producing an ugly off-spring in the much more contested and less believable category of manufactured vs. organic, where she regularly essentializes naturalist metaphors in order to point away from urban decay but with the unfortunate consequence of calling on sentimental rhetoric on an ontological topic, which carries its burdens, this time through annie le brun's alfred jarry.however, as always with anne, a quick forray into sentimentality reveals a philosophical underpinning that suggests otherwise, where she uses self-obedience to argue against the domination of the subjectivity and the ego to completely construct our identity, instead hoping to pull in varied forces to comprehend the othering at play in the self, much like the requirement of disobedience that points to the ability of obedience, which is a decent shot at the society of transparency. she raises bartlebey's "prefer not to" at the end in order to suggest through the concept of the middle age's heart of hearts that theres an un-further-dividable freedom of the self contained within the ego that enables total subjectivity to proliferate against all constraints. whether this be true or not, she seems to have entirely left out the analysis of obedience as disobedience, preferring the idea that disobedience is a second obedience. metaphysically this is consistent with her vision, but its lacking, where obedience can show disobedience as a logical function. however, the faith of pure obedience is the faith that the apparatus precisely cannot capture the freedom to begin with - to let the apparatus of capture ruin your freedom is a sign of disobedience, but of faith in obedience in the face of multiplicity. consistency has a metaphysical dimension that is post-ethical in so much as we see ethics as the consistent management of the self. dufourmanetelle's rebellious ethics is limited in its vision of consistency, where the plane of consistency itself is sacrificed in order to give the subject yet another voice.deeper soveirgnity, deeper obedience doesn't even exist at all today. wit is everywhere, wit proliferates, subversion is the ruiling weapon, how does dufourmantelle manage to see lightheartedness-towards-death as a transversal of the current landscape when that literally is the current landscape? the degrees of obedience-disobedience points to the constant struggle to define freedom for everyone involved in increasingly harmful systems, but through the power of rhetorical fascism we can actually come to an understanding of why and how comfort can be found in ineluctability, something anne cannot see due to her frenchness, but that the germans are able to (unlike the italians, which explains why they server-hopped in cruical periods) self-bondage is not bondage at all, freedom is simply a rhetorical device, it is what you use to wager and comrpomise between different violent machineries, it is not the clear through-line passed them. however ethically speaking, the territory of the mind is the device to protect, and here anne is politically on point. the apparatus will attempt to capture every single last one of our thought processes, and in this case a manufacture of souls does happen, but this cant be conflated - this is strictly a positive and not a negative process. a soul is not manufactured into an animated body, it is pre-built without one, a soul cannot be lost and anne is correct in that, so there's no act of emptying. ethically, souls are features, and obedience is a territory, not a decision.in suspensein narrative storytelling, the "definition" of suspense is an anxious anticipation of a future events experienced by an audience that is being entertained by a narrative, which is a piggified concept - a state of trashy restlessness and generic domesticity which alienates the moment of decision and endlessly defers it into automated and controlled enviornments and themes. dufourmantelle on the other hand gives us a more classically rooted elaboration of the concept, combining the attentiveness of a weilian instinct with an ascetic principle of serenity, and mixing it with the classic hegelian mediation, sprinkling in also a bit of corporeal imagery, acrobatism, philosophical suspension is equated to skepticism and a general impulse to resist principiality or dogmatism, essentially to never allow configurations to set place.in the first page, she successfully moves us away from the anxious delirium of contemporary anticipation and into an elaborate mode of suspense as both passivity and activity, or rather, the supposed far eastern version of suspense where the delay of the act is actually no longer an anticipation but a subsumption of activity itself. however, in this elaboration she accidentally but cruically misses the contemporary reason for immediate suspense and post-mediated anticipation that doesnt involve neither states of anxiety nor prolonged meaningful bouts - she asks us what happens when you dont mediate, what do you lose when you prolong both meaningful events and immediate cravings, rhetorically assuming that the reason is that anxiety carries us imperviously into the inability to return to the original moment, essentially that immediacy is a protective shield against a world, however, its quite possible that contemporary suspense exists not to defer knowledge in favor of a concentrated will the way foucault is quoted (suspense is the concentrated intensity of deferred knowledge), but rather that suspense exists precisely due to the fact that ontological intervention no longer exists, that nothing has moving power.dufourmantelle calls the mover the inner determination that carries the being away, meaning that ontologically shes locating this problem one register lower than me, in the agential->unconscious relation rather than the external mover->agential relation, however i think its precisely inner determinations that have all the moving power towards the agent, and external relations serve to demarcate and territorialize the subject but no longer to move it. the body doesnt actually suffer the consequences of a suspended mind, rather an active mind meets the suspended world, and has to unsuspend itself by-proxy to actually be able to move, so instant integrations happen not because deferrals are resisted due to anxiety the way the negativists would tell you, but much more terrifingly, because immediacy is actually the only form of action with any semblance of gain, where mediation itself becomes meaningless.

online discourse proves this, often showing exactly how banal mediation itself feels in the face of the current hyperimmediate (baudrillard - hyperproximate) world, anticipation is no longer anticipation about nothing the way the sartrean anxious complex works ontologically, but rather anticipation in need of something, call it maybe inspension. inspension, suspensions brother doesnt want to hold its breath and grasp the moment in its hand the way philippe walks the high-wire, rather, inspension is about catching yourself halfway through falling on stable ground. the contemporary subject isnt too rooted on stable ground, its rather floating in comfort, the way dufourmantelle also believes, but the solution isnt to create a fearful sense of groundedless, but to locate the ground, sometimes at the cost of immediacy. and how costly is immediacy? well, dufourmantelle herself shows us by invoking the marriage example, how costly exactly is a marriage that isnt deferred in the way kierkegaard would, but immediately and insuspensively (not inspensively) inserted? naturally, very close, but the sacrifice most subjects in the world feel is exactly this restless moment somewhere halfway through life and death.moving away from ontology, her epistemology and the ethical vision it holds in this piece is a lot stronger. suspending the faculty of judgement is the skeptics call, this suspension itself is an order below judgement, but not qualitatively, as she inserts it is simply "lighter" in comparison to a principled stance, however with the dilemma of kants aesthetic idea never finding its place in a concept, where the understanding is violated by imaginations power to defer. dufourmantelle does in fact defend the right side, the gnostic side, of history by calling on pascal to claim that imagination produces creation rather than illusion, however shes quickly distracted by ontology again, mingling with fragmentary ideas of the self over consistent ones (micro over macro worlds so to speak), i enjoy this idea much more when its applied in ethics, where micro decisions, even violent ones, arent powerful or intense enough to override the base core of the macro-being, but where trauma is essentially a violent weapon inserted by the masses in order to obsessively conjure an intense attack whereby an outwards imposed self-regulation binds the subject to its own act.the fact i believe that dufourmantelle, and generally the feminine, never goes to these lenghts is because the feminine itself is a trauma-filled force, unfortunately, and they have a hard time connecting one to the other precisely because the feminine is the earthly, more compensatory, more compromising being as opposed to its binary double, at least when it comes to the gnostic question, and this is why dufourmantelle's idea that the being should fly away from the responsibility of conceptual embedding in favor of a flight of the imagination by way of denying the self-constituve power of the act is cut short, right before it reaches the territory that say, a sade may have walked in on. but the fact we've even gotten this far is wonderful.however, dufourmantelles ethics shows itself powerful in the last page, where she carefully dismantles manic obsession itself, or rather its biggest problem, irrationality, by defending subjective contradiction over subjective control. i think this strong nietzschean point is essential to consider, that strenght and weakness are divided precisely by this line of consistency where the subject juggles between allowing itself to experience the entire unburdened and untroubled vision of the true world, the scary vision of contradiction, over the regulative potential of, say, the insomniac drive for control that she mentions. however, i have trouble believing that this ontological lightness she describes is purely innocent.yes, lightness in a certain sense, but in another sense, a future israeli multiethnic demigogue visiting the gaza beach resort fifty years after its genocide also carries a certain lightness to them. im not bringing this example up to be edgy, but to be literal, literally the freedom to be carefree and the care for freedom are in a certain sense the greatest contradiction of them all precisely because every other contradiction depends on how much each subject juggles between the first and second option, and this is precisely what responsibility is about. so when dufourmantelle invokes the personal responsibility towards suspension, there is an element of greediness even in suspension itself, namely, its a luxury to be able to suspend judgement in favor of carefulness, but it also shows that the most careful is both the most powerful and most advantageous. its even funny that we use the word "careful" to describe this state when precisely carefulness towards oneself is carefreeness towards the world, and this idea goes hand in hand, it is ruthless in that sense.

political economy in its production of dogmatics

a condition (turns into the condition the moment it concretizes, when only conditions and manifestations exist in constant conflict) forms as a register that serves to foreclose on the possibility of mystery by optimizing the capacity for channel-signaling to serve the function of limiting dissent rather than navigating it by forming the subject into the shape of critique, where negativity and positivity form a closed loop and drive themselves into a multiplicity of functional tones meant to imprison the original novelty (pure difference without the requirement for repetition/rebirth or without any dominant concept - elaborated later below)one way a condition can form in light of discourses fragmented due to the decentralization of communication networks, an emergence from within modernity rather than from the style of rhetorics (for example: relativism is a mood but not a structural function, cynicism is a mode in ideology but forced to be productive when you consider its mood, so therefore a "relative cynicism" literally resists the ability for pejorative, it becomes an encompassed conceptual domain - a manifestation rather than a condition), wherein it becomes a total vision and act that swallows even inner passions. no longer has it the character of persistence in the face of irregularity and its madness - this madness is used to enable forces that drive machines of consistency which regulate the language used to immerse oneself in the passions. when the user of this mode enacts a pact to retrieve of disciplines by way of similarity in identity, and to form a shield of resistance to outsider discourses.the forthcoming manifestation resists the life of thought and succumbs to the inherent paralysis of the hesitance of underwhelming and earth-piling hesitation other than short and quippy retroactive jabs serving to reinforce the bubble of anti-confirmative normativity, which exists itself to enable conformity to a normativity that at all times is both about to become cynical yet exists as a positivist inclination, a grandeur of provocations of series of the real, where the "correct" series is the mirror (of judgement) somewhere in between and yet at the far end, where the truth emerges as the contained exception.the mode functions by way of an equalizing ideology, the subject of procedural awareness is thrown into the process of the very conflict he envisions, becoming equalized with its own delusions, in a way that conforms it and bounds it to his own discourse, at the same time a dominating discourse, because it requires the obedience of the subject to its power as the only realizable mode capable of forming a series of artificial spooks (spooks not requiring attachment towards disillusioned objectivity but rather the relativistic counterpart that allows for the illusion of a stable set of metaphysical grounding points to enable the movement of conceptual interchangeables in recognizable surroundings) required to further form an attachment to the mental imagery of impressions of expected artificial master-signifiers (master signifiers that function not to refer to themselves as signifiers once more, but to the space between their lacluain emptiness, their denial of their own floating nature, and their "open" self-referral - the assumption of their resting point as subsumed by their own weight) which causes the concept of ideology to equalize with the dominant concept - which differs from a spook on account of its existing non tangible (floating) nature (real, value, other, doom, absolute), which then implicitly serves as a critique of perceived value relativism, where the subject that judges assumes he doesn't contain within him the ability to judge non-deterministically.the rule of the perceived ideology then serves to form a common sense barrier around concept, where the narrative of the life of thought (the impetus towards free exchanges of speculation) is replaced with the narrative of the completeness of the lack located within the process of the merging between the concept of ideology (the limit of free determination) with the dominant concept.then, the very language enabled by the floating signifier (the ability for the derridian freeplay of signifiers) is used to defend against the discovery of the life of thought by the newly formed closed interchangeable space, which weaponizes discourse to point to a space where the discourse serves to punish itself by invoking its own lack when considered in the face of the pressure of bodily intensity or the symbolic foundation which serves to enslave the ability to form infinite sets of conceptions by way of removing the speculative drive and replacing it with the integrative drive of onset positivistic defeatism, weaponizing the arrogance of the communicable to point to various fringe cases where the convolution of nuance can be ripped apart by the aggregator (the image of the resistance of the infinite virginity and post-origin form of the reference of opaque structure of the integrated machine of meaning and its ability to create walls with single directions and faces without detailsmetaphysics thus exists to enable or disable the language that allows it to persist through enabling the language to enable or disable it in artificial loops, where the concept is alienated in face of other forms of alienation (such as the total dismissal of recognition as a possible metaphysical reality in light of the post-proximious nature of abstract belonging - the post historical possibility of this idea as manifest in the "subject" - the envisioned form of act by the determinant of the belonging - meaning the free link - also described as the agent without the need for capacity, which rules over the life of thought)the machine of meaning is disabled by the rule of perceived ideology to dislocate the foreclosure and rightly opaque nature of the freeplay of floating signifiers (and the mystery behind the one sided nature of the two sided double-nature) instead abusing neo-spooks (the dominant concept) to rapidfire propulsion (by mechanism of artificial master signifiers) into stasis of the concept and paralysis of the act of speculative thought through its zizekian pseudo-openess (a perceived symptom of modernity also enables the subject to foreclose on the life of thought, but this is an uninspired, accidental and a such, far less symptomatic act). speculative foreclosure describes a loss of "post-capacity" (the false problem of determination as described by the illusion of capacity) to generate non-integrated "original novelty"mental imagery pertaining to the dominant concept enables the rule of perceived ideology to defend its mode (enabling of conditions) where the universal illusion of the concept is weaponized against the concept of the floating signifier. meanwhile, the sponsored mystery (the mystery of the rule of inference of the ideology, as opposed to the organic opaque mystery) allows for the possibility of the structural failure of the goal of the system (zizeks symptom in lacan - y a de l'un)meanwhile, the truly organic opaque mystery isnt the cyberspace, it’s the original hidden (meaning, the original novelty, which is both artificially productive and superficially originating, yet also still originally intended to be concealed, so that there is no illusion of choice in its concealment masquarading as a properly new (postmodern) enviornment. just like how the visibility of the inner body is a functionally futile and impractical task (even if "transparency" is achieved, the registered logic of the interface is useless to the quest of engagement with the simulation, and reverting the primary simulation simply means that the engine switches places, even if when its reverted the very laws of the mechanics of the engine themselves change operational wavelenghts).or in other words, even transparency is simulation because transparency itself is the logic of concealment in the face of a traumatic origin by flipping the law-set whichever side you want it to stay on, so to say, desire doesn’t survive virutal space, it transposes it by commanding that there is an organic mystery of the absolute, rather than seeking to discover it, and digging itself further in either abandonding or re-invoking the real. the real is artificially a part of the simulation, it is both the origin and an element of the virtual space, one that is decipherable (but cruically, one that doesn’t serve as a realm to something else, one that is self-completing, yet one that requires itself to either exist on one side of the origin-point, or to reverse the origin-point and exist at the side originally meant to hold or facilitate the origin point, especially but not limited to the point when the origin itself becomes impossible to determine. for example, if the world was made out of meat yet it required meat to create energy so it could continue to be made out of meat - and there was an infinite amount of meat, but only because this is a core part of the constituent programming of the meat world itself - a programming that is only facilitated by the eating of the self-generating meat - which explains away the question of origin by transposing it as part of its own problem.

the balkan ideology / diseases in art

a scenarioa globally esteemed white celebrity superstar musician operating under a post soviet country context who creates radiohead style albums that are pseudodeeply about societal reflections, dressed in a bougie outfit who has immigrated a couple of young adult asian orphan women, now dressed in long dark red suits, has renovated a church and built a music hub out of the local niche artists that all under his leadership have signed and extorted a century long contract with global music merchandising enterprises that has them leasing their music worldwide at a fraction of the cost with all the benefits in reach in streaming sales. the citizens of the town all gather outside of the church, which is now fully painted white but subtly left ungated, and begin to protest against the musicians apparent lack of donations to public good. upon being unexpectedly allowed to enter the establishment, they enter a sentimental american new century cliche movie enviornment, ambiently theatricized to envoke the perceived profoudedness of the niche artist who has an apparent lack of materialistic inclination. he then plays a song live to the audience, who then later reconcile emotionally to his music, but not before being reawakened into riot upon remembering the apparent perceived lack of care by the artist, who for the first time in a long time publicly addresses the country in its own language, making smug defensive remarks about how if he were to open the church up to public interests, it would swiftly be bulldozed by the reactionary government and turned into a childrens public park paid for by russian interests, which he notes is the equivalent of israeli interests in european contexts. after a few smug remarks, he notes the asymmetry in hierarchy between him and the public but reintegrates this framing when questioned about inequality rhetoric as part of a perceived distaste towards public framing rather than public good, and then leaves the establishment, requesting that everyone who likes can freely stay if they wish, so long as they comprehend the expected pressure they will receive upon staying in a territory "they arent prepared to withstand".the artistthe artist can be identified through everyone, as not a mode of operation at all. the artist is simply a posteriori designation of no worth, or an apriori postulation of non-consequential labeling, there is no real artist in between, nor the recognition between an artist and non-artist. the object of art is subject to a cynical mode of assesment that functions primarily as a dissasociation - and this is known as criticism. this results because of the inevitable rupture between its expected values and derived results, as opposed to its pure function - in that that same reality is the defining characteristic of all possible techne-related immersion. every single act of technical possibility is an artistic act, a "piece" of art, a creation of an art "work", all art is all action, regardless of its banality, perceptivity, interpretation and so fourth. art doesnt involve skills, crafts, works, creations, labour, exchanges, or any form of criterial or qualitative requirement. rather, its a quantitative disposition, a dispose, an association, there are no dissasociations in art, there is nothing learned nor nothing required, not even its comprehension as such (and especially not its denial, which only further enforces it). art has nothing to do with criticism, as criticism is a derived product of its associative power (the dissasociative power is subject to art, and depends on arts associative power, not on its own analytical power).what thinkers confuse between capitalism, alienation and criticism is the assumption that there is a form of non-artistic artism, or rather a distaste of tastes, the master of artistic indiscrepancies, an alien object so strong that it disables all artistic relevancies, and causes confusions in the perception of narrative time, social space, ethical recognition, reviewability, associative complexes, political engagements and criteriums of taste between the cultural community and the objects of art, but this is simply a result of art's positive power. the positive power functions as a structural operability that fuzes together the associations it creates with opposite associative complexes, creating tension that it then further weaponizes, which leads to its own synthesis. but this synthesis isnt a product of criticism but of more art, it doesnt require interpretation. capitalism is neither a cause of conflictual rupture nor simply any and every technologically-relevant manifestation, but it is a third term, it is an imposition of its own qualities, that has nothing to do with emerging social relations or frequencies, it simply serves as an unfair stand-in for them.when there are no conditions for an authentic emergence of social integrationism, or an experience of organic interaction between correlated voices that are politically intertwined or causally called-fourth - no matter the voracity, audacity or intensity of this experience - by the impact of their mutual existence in a political space, these same voices lose out on the luxury of a community that casts personally reflected judgement between these voices, be it that this judgement has or hasnt a criteria (as per lyotard's just gaming). the community acts as a symbolic sheild of value that not only personally recognizes the value of the subjectivity of the voice over its politically-relevant existence, but that ties the "political voice" of the subjective proponent with its very subjective quality, thus creating a field of recognition, semblance, convergence (harmony) between the voices in the inner community - meaning that the ideal form of the community is one where there is a luxurious and prosperous judgement where there is an equal skeletal footing for all voice-components instead of a starved, exhausting, debilitating, frustrating, even infuriating propagation of judgement. the judgements themselves also reflect different assertive tendencies, pertaining to the level of luxury.when they lose this luxury, professional judgement becomes a private and auto-emotional assertion, that is concerned pre-emptively with identities, agendas, affiliations and sets of variables regarding the "color" of the shared experience over its inner properties. in this situation, criticism becomes reduced to an assertion of identity (the political belonging that underlines fast judgement) and this same judgement cast by the "aesthetic shape" of the criticism clearly reveals itself as nothing more than a territorial dispute, it falls short of constructive qualities. no matter the qualities of the critical appropriation, the subject behind it functionally remains on the level of an "i-statement" even if the actual critical value of the statement has philosophical elements. this is because it in fact is a political statement, its an attempt at forming a world around the subject, a world where certain elements behave as conflictual, others as affiliatory, and certain ones retaining or being removed from speculative or contemplative value. there is no way to corporately manage the "customer servicing" of this voice, because it exists as it pertains to its necessity.white-washing the "i-statement" actually causes even more damage by isolating not only the alienation between the subjects but throughout their own shared motivations for holding the views to begin with. however, the level of assertiveness of opinion is directly proportional to the level of assertiveness of character, meaning that there is an aesthetic of fair views that blast past social confrontationism and are uniquely, as stated previously, a liberating experience for all parties involved. the act of confrontation, when understood as self-confrontation, is a de-supermacist force, it holds a sense of shared responsibility over the political act, which has a self-affirming position, it bypasses the unusual routes that the suffocated judgement requires of the voice to cycle through in order to arrive to the same lower, less luxurious benefits of world-arrangement, over the greater ones of critical non-identiary juxtaposition, a component of fair criticism.the subjective act of world-arrangement or a sense of cultural belonging is less of a luxury than that of fair criticism, of the simple act of casting a judgement or review, and in this instance it simply disguises itself as constructively motivated, when in fact often times this very same judgement is social in nature, having to do with the ranks of gossip, identity-formation, social group ordering and so fourth, which removes from the harmony of the craft in order to re-insert the validity of the territorial arrangement. this same act even behaves as is if it concerned with criticism, when that clearly isnt its goal. the suffocation of the subject is caused by political exhaustion that results as a consequence not of globalism and its interaction with the vulgar community (the vulgarity), but rather the vulgarity falls into a state of mania when its forced to evaluate elements of its community without the organic interactions nor harmonic predispositions that would allow it to continue on this path in a fair manner.critical non-identiary juxtaposition, one of the modes of the fair criticism, is the proper and even pure engagement with the object of "art" - art here means all objects of shared experience, not simply some material object that has a suffocating title - which also isnt art but a territorial dispute. art is free to be, inso far as it pertains to its active appearance in a setting. the instant appearance is an instant art form, even social communication is an art, that is recognized for its strenghts precisely because its missing the suffocating function that supposedly" higher-perceived" territorial-status arrangement disputes hold claim over. this is precisely what shows the value of the artistic form to-be-judged, it has value because it resists apriori judgement and is simply a form of world engagement.this is also because the exclusionary attitude (unfair criticism, a component of the balkan disease) only selectively comprehends how all objects of art are already self-fulfilling artifacts, immediately upon their conception or even the very thought of them, participating in the spirit of communal art as naturally beholden to all artistic elements simultaneously, as naturally posessive of all elements of the composition of the artistic mentality, which is a natural mentality, not a mentality of force. the artistic mentality has no criteria as per the history of philosophy, other than criteria that german neoclassicists attempted to coincidentally simultaneously gatekeep and yet also act apophatic regarding its nature, and judgement persists and occurs regardless of criteria.juxtaposition and world arrangement are in fact opposites, although both require a critical lense, one of them makes use of the identity of judgement (which is here the same thing as the judgement of identity, that is, the judge makes use of the apparatus of judgement in its principle - invokves its identity, whilst also the identity of the judgement is the judge's call, for he is not inacting judgement but in fact inacting its identity, the identity of the form of judgement over its substance, even when he is most motivated in its substance)the tendency of artistic evaluators (remember, artistic refers to everything, from "professionals" to "specialists" to ideologues, politicans, chiefs, surgeons, group of five men in a club - any and all accidental or purposeful social roles - social in so far as they exist as pertaining to the political reality of sociality - which also includes purely private self-indulging experiences) to feel that they posess a vision of intention yet a requirement of intention simultaneously is the state of arrogance. arrogance, pretentiousness, snobbery and elitism are not to be confused with the harsh loss of the term objective as denoting not transcendental but criterial convergences, and as such, the arguments regarding objective vs. subjective taste are irrelevant, and even more so arguments over truth as correspondence.rather, arrogance as a state now functions to serve the role of perpetuating a constant conflict between perceived vs. reasoned intention. the artists responsibility is now to mediate his own intention, to divorce it from his felt inspirations in order to perform a set of maintenance rituals. this act isnt about felt importance, but about felt legitimacy, since the transcendental connection between importance and its social maintenance are now delegitimized due to the fall of objectivity, the "objective" is now to mediate the postulation of the object, not its legitimacy. the postulation of the object is the felt mediation of its processation, of its deliverance. the object can only be delievered in certain style, not the form of the object but the ritual of its enactment. the object must fulfill some criteria, you must feel as if you can comprehend why the object is delivered. the alienation of the critic confronts the critic, which lowers his own self-legitimizing function (the seeker's complex) which in turn creates a complex of snobbery where the confrontation is re-articulated as a loss of meaning in the object of the art rather than its evaluator. the strenght of art's positive power is in its ability to decouple perspectives rather than conjoin them, positive power has the role of destabilizing essence itself, of suggesting that nature is above essence, that categories are above nature, and that multiplicity conquers monoplicity.classic aesthetic categories cannot suffice to mediate the object, and there is no hierarchy of social roles, therefore snobbery is about verticality, not horizontality. it is about the maintenance of alliances, simply, the critic has become the knight, the knighthood is the critics chair, the theatre is the homeground for the evaluator, the cynic. the cynic's salon is the bar, or their home couch, the cynic's conquest is over the legitimacy of others. performing legitimacy is felt as a personal, emotional endeavour. the confusion of multiplurality, of value bipolarity, of multidirectionism, of felt spontaneity, of judgement without criteria, acted or performed statement-pieces, of the direction and death of criticism, is over the character of enactment that arises as a result of this dilemma of felt legitimacy.

the problem, however, is that art's positive power is removed from its ability to be enacted when its negative power (the existence of unfair criticism) serves to ritually delegitimize it. primarily, criticism today isnt about harmony (there is no need for harmony, not that there is disharmony in any way - simply, states and affairs are ran automatically, and hyperstitionally) but about enacted humilation (as bifo observes) which is the negative twin of harmony. if harmony sets in order by converging and organically flowing everything into its lines (which exists today in the balkans and all other uneven realms as a social aesthetic of conformism rather than a structural sorting mechanism that appears not just self-prophetic but seemingly innocous, completely transparent, and almost non-existent - "the things sort themselves out") however, humilation, the negative twin of harmony, creates an aesthetic that makes it inaudibly clear how non transparent and forced the categories that are already pre-emptively sorted behave and appear, which paradoxically increases awareness of the social sorting mechanism (which in itself doesnt even exist in cases of disharmony). the social sorting mechanism cannot function proper in subversive realms (like in todays contemporary world), the way it could in "serious worlds" (like the old world of theology) so it essentially behaves on account of social gossip with no actual social stimuli. it sorts categories of identities and their corresponding voices pre-culturally (pre-philosophically), but post-politically (identity as enacted rather than felt), therefore the roles are forced and autoperformed. performativity today can outright correspond to the political mainline (the real producing craft of politics, its genuine contemporary manifestation) but, autoperformativity is confused with its genuine counterpart in these same instances.anyone too pulsed to put aside their status, arrogance, or inability to consider political categorical differences isnt deserving of being called having a pulse, one should always be able to seperate criticism, abstraction and consideration. pure judgement always admits the good with the bad, unlike most snobs. snobs are men too weak to put aside the fraility and intensity of the world to consider their own judgement fairly enough so as to actually engage the pieces. having a dead-inside mirror still show more character towards something than the unfaithful reader isnt indicative of a pulse, much the oppositebalkaners, instead of using the wisdom they gained from being tied to cycles of domination, they were quick to snap out of their fake chains, and continue to look stupid under the new regime by instantly falling to its accumulatory capacities and symbolic demands, quite literally "overfalling" into them. it sort of shows dog mentality, like, the moment the symbol of domination is released the uncontained energy pushes them to the next leap due to inability for personal restraint, it shows the restraint kind of "didnt do anything" if that makes sense. all it does is signify that continued repression is a sensible replythe kitsch influences unevenlyin art and culture, greenberg's deleuzian-type paranoia to avoid kitsch as the 'great sales apparatus' that 'traps' the proprieter of 'genuine culture' by 'drawing its life-blood' from the reservoir of accumulated experience is turned upside down by adorno's view of kitsch in minima moralia as a 'joy of imitation' that reflects the problem of automated cultural artisanry as a 'taboo' or conflict of simulated experience in regards to fine art's power, challenging it's de-automated/de-imitating essence - in the heideggerian sense of essence as an 'everchanging strife structurally' (as per thompson) built into history.adorno nontheless remains challenged by the earlier combo of benjamin's view of pure art in mechanical reproduction as denying both the social function and categorical function leading to imitatory art's denovelizing condition, as well as heidegger's view in the origin of art of the 'interplay between earth and world' as 'sheltering agent' is to 'relational meaning', displacing modernity's attempt at 'enframing subjectivism' as an ascent to 'finalizing conceptual dominion', something that mimics benjamin's criticism of pure art.marx in his manuscripts finds in estrangement an alienation of man from external nature, his 'spiritual aspect', his species-specific aspect, property, mutual relationality, and ultimately transforms his 'species-being into individual life'. as we relate the thingness of things into their 'mere' and 'set up' nature as something failing a sense of wider relation and thus losing its transformative character in heidegger, we see in marx the losing of relations between the labourer and commodity.yet the commodity also appears as something that induces a relation but not a naturalized state of thingness. adorno finds in film a reification that degrades man in the same way estranged labour would in marx, yet fails to locate the purposive difference between the auto-reproduced object and the simply reproduced, which greenberg wants to argue is the opposite of kitsch, turning it into the sheltering agent that slowly unveils itself as relationally intricate in a heideggerian way to man and his marxian species-character in the heideggerian essence of development.carriere finds in automation the idea that the truly novel will emerge as the unthinkable, as capital pushes the limit of novel relationality ever-forward. carriere's view in technically man dwells mimics adorno's early and impressive formulation of capital's autocommodification as producing standardized forms of critique that re-introduces the cliche in "fine" circles, in the way of cliches that mimic a hostility of cliches, heeding greenberg's earlier warning of kitsch's 'dangers' that are 'deceptively' 'high enough' to be 'dangerous' to the 'native seeeker of light'.although as it seems, during adorno's time, it was felt that capital already dominated walter's 'traditional' art with 'ritual value' displacing it with the 'exhibition value' of kitsch to the extent it is impossible to divorce critique without applying the categorizing function to it. seemingly, the categorizing function moved from benjamin's own ambitions of a 'categorical' splitting of fine art, into a categorization of critique itself and its ability to produce non-conforming judgement that isnt 'prepackaged'.in hegel's lectures on fine art, man duplicates himself, becoming both as 'things in nature are' and as he sees 'himself', mimicking future arguments for the double-sided and mediated requirement for the inquiry into the fine aspects of art. carriere confirms marx's sentiment that mans species-character has been lost due to capital (although for different reasons between the two of them), which she identifies in plato's concept of the agalma, the 'inestimable wonder' found when stripping man of all but his core.this mimics adorno's view of the kitsch as something that betrays the distinction necessary to seperate critique-as-tradition from heidegger's thingness-resisting-modernity, which ties critique in with the purity of modernity's object of art, causing a downwards cyclical chain that cascades and topples the mystical insides of the relations between object and subject, propulsing and self-generating both methods of critique and re-automatizations. the view of becoming tyrant children in the face of the automation of art as challenging possibly new historical aesthetic models or their limits is also captured nicely by alexander's essay the colors of her coat, mimicking carriere's idea of the tyrant child, 'little children' that enter the kingdom of heaven.

sacrifice in the mortuary of the autist

the war (now lost) was over abstractions, empirical conflicts are a joke, and a mockery of higher-order problems. there was once a world where abstraction ruled in harmony, and the elements of the world were set in order. that world is now gone, as things have obviously gone astray. the question is only one of proper suicide, or, how to leave a message to the world that now contains itself. the lives of the remaining inner worldists are thinning and less frequent, and it's only a matter of time before the rest of them are gone. leaving without a message is unfair, not to the world, but to the about-to-dissapear inner worlds. this is to be used as a manual for only those implicated (the last message is ironic, for, those who are not implicated will not locate themselves either way)signaling domesticity in the grand mediumthe operative fascism of the mundane behaves on the principle of a perceived hostility against the enemies of domesticity. domesticity concerns every empirical occassion of the regulation or recomposition behind the matter of the civil economy (in our world only appearing in the context of the urban hyperobject), except the truly political state of exception, that occurs as a happening - a moment in social space.the happening of this regulation is as domesticated as the operative logic of domesticity itself, which means the mundaneccentric often eludes capture by this machine - the mundaneccentric escapes the crutches of regulative capital, but, problematically, the mundaneccentric is never capable of revealing the political long enough to leave a lasting impression, it can only cause structural invisibilities and unperceived changes to the mediograndic, so it is often left to its devices in an unaltered state. sometimes, when the mundaneccentric meets aberrant conformity, it usually reacts in a mixed way, lending some atypicality and not policing it, but also never allowing it any speculative gains.the grand medium is the location of the accumulation of the plotting device of the priests of the new world. the gathered commons are the social-spectacular assemblage itself, enacting the new religion in real time. this religion is auto-behaviorally useless, in that it enacts infinite meanings and values and yet at once swallows them away from the self-sacrifice that tangentially gives them their relevant meanings. or in other words, this world can no longer make sense of itself, and therefore, it no longer matters what happens to it, if already the orgy has happened. the remaining question is of how the remaining meaning-makers, who are being desecrated, are to desert the world, and what final act of disruption they can cause. all other qualms are secondary, and therefore relevantly useless.the mundaneccentric is the remnant of the original inner worldists, the original autists who built the world. the mediogrande is the self-optimizing machine of the newly avant garde common world, which sets its own conditions irregardless of prior context. a beautiful and worthy, but fundamentally meaningless operation, for all aesthetics (experience + sense) has been lost to ethics (axiomated drives, processing processes and machines of justification-capture)misused abstractions and their territorificationthe abstraction of social enviornments into clubs, bars and malls has devastated the autistic-eccentric community and ridden it of its fundamental nature, one they must return in order to save their own souls, but also because it is their rightful place to rule over the world - which cannot exist without the specific formula only they can give it, which it has horrifyingly lost and spiralling downward at this very moment. it should be well known that social contexts are transforming into pighouses. most essential functions are de-territorialized, available anywhere through digital systems, but abstraction wasn't always like this, not at all. physical presence is co-apted by an infinite globalistic imperative, the capturing device of capital, which attempts to make all spaces equalized - all physical spaces are to be turned into the same space - all spaces are equally equipped, equally felt, with equivalent acting capacity.capital turns the novelty of space into its death. casual public interactions have been auto-regulated and de-capacitated, the majority of social interaction in industrialized societies happens in structured or commercial spaces, the average (common) assembling agent maintains only a very small inner circle for meaningful exchanges, mutual creation of meaning has been killed by pre-structured and designating activity - a simulated acting on the world that prevents any meaning from proliferating or escaping the death crutches of lost capacity, and all social symbols reward only repetitive and increasingly reductive models. this didn't come from nowhere, and yet, it didn't come from anyone who wanted to use it for dominion, unlike what conflict studies believe to have happened. instead, it emerges as an imposed self-torture due to the rupture between the ideas of human and inhuman.the tragedy of the autist-eccentric's internal worlds - that, mind you - exist strictly due to the repressive-opressive organizational complex of the outside otherwise of course the eccentric would much rather enact his lived truth in an exterior state), the organizational complex of which has been masterminded by the elite inner-worldists (the autistic elite, who governers the souls of the damned - or otherwise known as the common), has entirely removed the ability of the eccentric-quo to act on and impose their rightful order over the status-quo, which is the following: the status quo must be vaporized by the eccentric quo, as its slowly to be turned outward, as is the natural order - the natural imposition requested by eccentricity is scalability, complexity and reformulatory constructions of all living mentalities into complexified degrees, into further abstractions.but these abstractions must be controlled and channeled properly, yet they have been abused and misguided. there is no way to turn them off, there is no way to find their source, nobody even knows why they exist anymore, the abstractions themselves have been alienated. historically, this vaporization was common, as uncapable humans were replaced by the elite with those capable of understanding their own limits - something the commoner today knows nothing of, neither limits nor the understanding of them, a total failuire to comprehend both means and ends. abstractions served the basis of private languages between trusted ascetics, not the general public.the seizing of the means for novelty and its rupturewhen the human monkeys found abstractions, they rangled them and turned them all to shit, whilst the autistic elite combined into a world-defining cult as they slowly pillaged all the resources and operational procedures of these abstractions away from the common quo and into the status quo itself, moulding it as they see fit, whilst the autistic quo - the original operators of the script - have been perpetually stuck, suffering inside their own souls, hoping for a single ounce of breath as they cascade lower into the pits of their own ability, the depths of their own capacity, turned outwards, destroyed and mutated into abstractions themselves - literally reconfigured into social processes.they remain to serve the mockery of the victorious inner worldists. once the world could no longer contain a set of wiseness that could control its trajectory, it realized the second best thing is to fully go the other direction, after all, there is no point in dilly-dallying around between wiseness and unwiseness - and rightfully so - its decided to simply predate on the makers of the world (the world is nothing without its perspective and intelligible character, which is solely the result of the hard work of the original - and rightful - inner-worldists)as the eccentric elite realized that its better for them to steal all the resources of the universal access to abstractions towards themselves, they rallied up all the identities, categories, prefixes, axioms and magical spells of language, and set up neat guidelines that are auto-operative by the common quo, that are manufactured in a way that only the misguided could properly make use of it, and the ones with capacity can only fuck it up for themselves further, all whilst understanding exactly why its cursed.however, this has only resulted in the status quo gaining irreversable degrees of power - and in the future - will lead to a new level of hierarchical domination, yet to have been seen or witnessed - but also to a new level of urbanite stability, to a new level of the decadence of the common yet before witnessed. there will be both auto-torture and auto-inscription - essentially, the forward-facing failure of sentience - as all inner states are equalized to either infinite pleasure of infinite pain at once, but not in the sense of feeling but in an epistemic sense, perspectives itself equalize into "i only detect an infinitely intense idea of a problem" and the opposite, of a "solution".ultimate narcassism has no problem other than replicating curses in othersthe eccentric elite are unlike the bourgeoise, or populist politician, in that, they are actually a part of the status quo, living within it. they realize that it only has good to offer, that they created a space where they can shoot their own kind from above, and let the lesser beings pass freely, for they only make their own lives better. they've recapitulated and redefined desire into something that is both inclusive for all but only exclusive to them. the status quo demands the autistic elite for just an ounce of desire-direction, not actual desire.desire-direction is the fundamental weapon, which can only be appropriately used by the most greedy sect of autists, who have stabbed themselves with their own weapon out of admiration for its qualities - achieving and already having achieved - and re-achieving - ultimate narcassism. they have only enacted their plan and sent it into an irreversable accelerating trajectory, they powerfully-eccentrically co-opted themselves out of their own inner worlds, removing their autistic prejudication and de-lobotomizing themselves as they saw fit, capable of shapeshifting social roles according to merit - which is precisely no merit at all - they are the highest degree of lizard jew possible in society.mastermindedly they have managed to manufacture their own ignorance, letting themselves enjoy the fruits of their own work, whilst the newly produced status quo is ignorant of the very existence of this total operation, and as such sees no problem with anything at all, because they are the birthchild of capital, entirely undisposed to past battles, they can only see ahead of themselves.the conflict only remains in the heads of others, now, the curse of the burden of social conflict is only a lived reality for a minority, it is not an externally imposed reality. the mediograndic commoner is too idiotic to even predispose himself to the quips of struggle, the mediocre does not struggle, his inner condition sets the rules for his struggle, and so he has only but minor struggles, funny struggles. the autistic elite enjoy these minor struggles, they feel liberated that they were able to drop the ignorance bomb on themselves. and all that shit, they smeared it all over their own kind, ridding the actual conquerors and intelligent propagators of history into the lowest position, undeserving of the historical legitimacy of the race of abstractive designators. the apparatus for the control of mental reality itself is slowly ceasing to exist as all categories are replaced by duplicious plastic alternatives, with mimicries of their original fashion.the great replacement and resentmentits only the eccentric underlings that can comprehend the great reversal, who can only be the fragments of a long lost intellectual-enlightenment tradition. every newly designed person is missing the aura of the time period that enabled eccentricity itself, as the social world today is downregulating and paranoically cascading downwards into a monotonous, self-equalizing stew of shit. the autistic quo (otherwise known in the twentieth century as schizoids) is uncomofortable at the very idea of the ideological extent or the very prospect of sharing living spaces or even existential expressivity with others based on this fact.life is like a prison for those that have any sensibilities, like an animal pen where the dumbest and most ignorant get to experience moments of controlled and confined joy - of a village idiot if nothing else - whilst the rest remain truncated in a never ending day-life cycle and remain unentrained with all of their passions as a result of the ruiling precedent that has structured the world into a process of deficiencies and has ruled common man unworthy of the basic respect of a dignified living enviornment.the resentment they feel towards this process is immense, however, they are both too proud to kill themselves and too capable to withstand the forces of this consequence to even want to, yet too knowledgable to feel the need they must even call on this fact to anybody. it has become utterly worthless to even argue this position, as the autistic elite has removed the very infrastructure where the wisdom of the autistic quo could actually be used for anything but useless online bickering, reduced to literal fucking archetypes.but it appears as one chain in a long abstracted process, and it seems as if the only way to end the chain is to push it forward even more, until the world itself accumulates so many alienations that it itself achieves an original condition once again. this is not about an acceleration of the logic of the empire (capital) but rather, an acceleration of evil itself and its transparency, and its force, and its luminocity, lucidity, achievements, conformity, plasticity, phallicity, majestiality, magestrality, cosmic power...the rapid replication of the tools of the commonthe goal is to create the image of the autist into an auto lobotomized role before the lizard monkey magician priests of hell can get their hands on it, manufacturing living robots out of the flesh of those who are vindicated. as ma writes, women are a tragedy of the commons, and the common man's state, and the hunger of the repressed is a direct form of direspect to the living passion of the eccentrics all over the world, confined to chambers so as to prevent the real imagination from capturing the world once more.the loss of this can be seen in the loss of not just transcendent categories, but the loss of immanence itself, which itself, in all its capacity for wisdom, has been relegated to a post-mediate (not immediating) state, it itself has already been robbed of its own corpse. everybody who is today celebrated, in the image of their creation, that equivalent man who is celebrated, in todays world, their double or mirror, sits in the most confined and ridiculed spaces. this is not the genius, but simply those of the internal world.autistics are rapidly replicating, but something is obviously missing with the new ones. it is not a question of intelligence, but some weird type of capacity. the old autists had capacity, they had a sense of life, an almost heideggerian vision, that today we the inmer worldists are missing. the inner worldists have auto-replicated too far, been subject to too many weaponizations from their own kind. the total dissolution of all character from living enviornments can only be met with one response, a total repurposing and cleansing of character itself.it will not be fixed with quick outbursts, it can only be re-routed through the same fascist logic it was established. it must be pursued to the ultimate degree, the curse must be spread everywhere. the most standard human in the world must be transfered the feeling of the most confined. only then is there a chance that there is enough contained resistance to one day escape the evil rooted at the very core of society itself. and this is precisely because the common man is only a vessel to reach the advanced, liberated man

among the commoners sit the rare men, and those are the target. for only if we crumble their infrastructure, will they be able to destroy the intuition somewhere buried deep inside that is the most un-intuitive, fabricated, nuanced reality. they hold the complex somewhere buried deep within their replicative code. this complex is the harsness for all current life, for all possible mediocrity itself. mediocrity is not a state, it is an invention, a discovery that the autistic elite made, and have been using ever since, precisely on themselves, and on all the robots they made in the image of their own forced stupidity. they did all of this, and must be held responsible at once, or else.accelerationism isn't what it thinks it isit has become apparently clear that axiomatization of personalized fragmentative experiences has caused the twentieth century ideas on desire to cease. the goal is no longer to divert, prevent, collapse, or rupture all these bad things capitalism does to the inner-wordlists, but to absorb, make sense of, or otherwise accumulate them. its not just because they have creative power, but because theyve destabilized our very idea of an essential drive.the inner worldists should be just as offended at capitalism for doing what its done to them, as it should be with the social imperative in the first place, the idea that the desiring drive is naturally ordained or engrained should start to feel malicious when capital peels that layer from them and allows them to peak underneath. thats where the self sabotage is coming from, thats where the call of acceleration is defended. ultimately its also less about if the empire collapses, nobody will be there to see it either way, it doesnt matter to them as much as the subjective question. every moment not spent in patterened social reflections is technically wasted, if not capital allowing them to live a weird second life in its annihilation.it makes more sense when you corporeally exist in the condition to experience it. capital itself is the new home, here for all the inner worlds. but its a destitute, isolating, disgusting home which must be crumbled from within, by expanding it so much that it blows up. the fight isnt over the empire or its existence, the machinic capture propagation system is entirely useless and unimportant. the last remaining war is an eternal war, all other wars are fought automatically, and even their stakes are pre-decided. life is axiomatically designated its own meaning, and structured and reproduced in a way where this very genocidal logic actually makes sense to it - therefore - its irrelevantly the case, and relevantly true of its being.the being of life itself undetermines or overdetermines itself based on everything but its own decision. this ethical call may seem brutal to the ethicists, if only they fail to realize how its only in fact a small, marginal adjustment. all the value only remains in the inner-worldists, that's where everything else is, and everything that matters is essentially being tortured right now, whilst everything that doesn't is accumulating. and that's okay, the only problem is of untangling this twist in either direction - they are the same direction after all. the banality of the current social field and its beneficiaries on a base level are fundamentally useless, and are hardly considerable at all. the remaining goal is to figure out how exactly to pack the bags before leaving. the value of urban life has significantly decreased due to the nature of its character. all these systems we built to protect the existential primacy of human life once made sense, but are now a crutch.

affect / the future history of

affect in the twenty first century was seen as a mix of feeling - also intentionally confused or known as affect itself, emotion - which was the mechanistical explanation for motion turned as an inward-facting recallable intent - the opposite of affect because it externalizes interiority rather than the other way around, and mood - also known as vibe in its active sense. at some point, affect had a lot to do with effect, where one presented as the passive acting current that produced sensations that resulted in feedback loops or otherwise in actions of some kind.at some point, effects could cause affects, likely around the middle of the twentieth century with the bio-physiological turn of psychoanalytic ordering, where affect was rerouted as expression and as a vechile of "feeling" which is itself already a catch all term suspending all causal explanation in favor of subjective interiority, allowing affect to present as something that was supposed to replace emotion as the primary driver of non-"affective" (non-passive) expressive tendency. expression was already seen as positive due to the way abstractions supposedly repress (de-incentivize) the possibility of political reality.affect was further cemented in the middle of the twentieth century as a replacement for older terms of passion meant to account for the value of human behavior, all the way up until affect - itself a product of regulatory thinking, suffered the unfortunate reality of the coinage of affective labour, a double-regulatory concept that newly calculates affect itself as a territory or weapon of wager or compromise, suddenly politicizing women as agents trading in a secret economy of power, made worse both by political scarcity and the otherwise previously "soft" presentation of mood as something self-regulatory rather than as social currency or circumstance. luckily, by the end of the twenty second century, scarcity itself is no longer rooted as collapse, as after global collapse had already happened, scarcity was no longer the hyperstitious target, freeing manifestation from its crutches as politically scarce opportunity, and allowing its theological implications to re-emerge.its important to note that affect isnt always regulatory latency, it exists in its organic state as a causal interface, but it only re-emerges way later through tradesmen that re-surface through regulatory machines as organic traders of supposedly naturalized as passional drives, who even have their own protoreligious model that they draw suffrage from, a type of re-emergence of christianity in later times. but for the temporality of the narrative itself, its cruical to remember that from the eighteenth to the end of the twenty first century, affect is a regulatory currency and creates latency and scarcity in the form of tradable securities that, much like the way financialization would later create debt as a life-resource, affective economies become tradeable currencies between actors within states that fully evade organic composition, which, regardless of if it has an ideological compound, a majority of actors in state ideological societies intuitively or subconsciously operate as if they understand this, even if they operate or hold beliefs contrary to it.this was around the time that intraflection took over the world, a type of sub-threshold modulation that spawned in new social classes as richard hames quotes through jameson and williams, by reverting ancient social classes back into usage through the spawning of institutions deadly towards identities themselves, which never accelerated categories but as history does simply repositioned the stakes. intraflection is primarily, beyond everything else a form of regulation that prevents the unsubstatianted crossing of thresholds, basically, a state-crafted derivative technological assemblage that creates anti-accelerationalist drift, usable primarily for things like controlling the possibility of evading certain institutional prerogatives by fixing identities into institutionally pre-derived plans. in this instance, for modernity - even technology is a social metaphor, a system of behaviors always pre-discovered in the past. this isnt a debate about what modernity can or cant spawn, instead here i present to you the narrative of what happens after, and how the genders finally escaped entirely into ever-late modernity.with the new institutional causal chains, the fall of the affect-effect twist was bound to happen, as no new social form could possibly invade anyone, institutions as future dystopias are no longer tyrannies but extremely organized networks of regulation, and in their final form, they are entire optional fantasy worlds, video game locations with self-perverted visions of domains like hell and heaven. the domainification of society however is only one of plenty new institutions to spawn, only some of which view it this way. the important part though is that regardless of anything, institutions survive as fully bound to their own logic, because what being outside modernity means isnt that suddenly the ever-narrowing of society will free it up, but precisely the inverse, that, no longer synchronzied, the worst of hell returns as an unspeakable act, a sudden void in time that cant even document itself. institutions however, already glorified and strenghtened by like four modernities occuring historically back to back, are already post-tyrannous, offering only the creation of social classes as categories of psychological management rather than as lifestyle identities, meditative saviors or some other more arcane form.due to this occurance of self-management, the closest to invasion the genders had left was evasion, which spawned subfliction and exoflection, two seperate but combined entities. subfliction is a type of low-grade stress reminiscent by angest or anxiety, except without neither moral-cosmological nor existential-political dimensions. subfliction is an effect and not an affect, institutions dont produce it, individuals create it in order precisely to calm their own newly non-autonomic nervous systems down. it goes like this, an institution gives you a system, you collapse it, bind it outward, exoflect it, your exoflection paints the contours of this system. then, if it bounces back worse, you produce a type of subfliction. essentially, identity doesnt work to produce intensities, desires dont shape drives which interact with affects-as-expressions, and expression itself doesnt even have a function anymore.instead, constant evasion becomes a game of existential signification, as new ideas of what a territory in relation to the body is emerge. sometimes during this process, the gender divide itself was split, where social role fully coalesced with identity role, and the militarization and antification of society produced total bodies. in fact, already in the twenty first century this was possible as preciado identified, just not yet exactly necessary (not to say desired, as desire itself was already by then no longer a decision-making category).men received the opposite treatment, corroded into nulliflectivity, which not like nullification in the classical sense isnt about denial nor rigidity but about persistence as a force of passion rather than will. they entered the beurocratic metaphor no longer just as armoured and resistant, but also as no longer subjectively empassioned, resisting the very ambition to behave in the world as existing in-part with it. rigidity isnt an invocation but a surface-beurocratization, shaping armoring as a finally-evolving condition. armoring has always been repressive, but in this society, it actually presents as its version of oppeness, comfort and genitalization. so many neurotic tendencies persist, that armored bodies are actually open.excess draws on the world outwards, excess presents no longer as expression, impression or transgression, which all read as positivist terms, but the term expression itself is indicative of negation. depression, opression and so fourth become positive metaphors, as repressing is holding down against a brutal structure, it is not the holding back of ones own affect but the hold-back against affect-destroying regimes, even if by oneself one is still holding back from a type of pure intensity if such a thing exists.women themselves froze up due to synchronizing tendencies and cringe-machines, but cruically it was the other way around, the fall of women didnt show us that they are not women, but it showed us two seperate things, one, that they are not some type of self-perverting species trying to camoflague itself as a metaphysically superior category - although they are precisely this.but they are only this precisely up to the point where this is a latent ad-hoc human realization taking over their spirit and not their own metaphysical fact of posession (the virgin martyr, respectable spinster or the tragic heroine) and two, neither are they simply and only humans who are subject to some type of control regime that marks up and sexualizes their bodies as meat and then sells them as products or reflections of ideology at the given time that it takes effect (which would only consequently reaffirm them precisely as women and freeze this image) but it in fact showed the nulliflective precisely how to eliminate them, not as a conflict, which is an unregulated and chaotic attestment with unpredictable results, but afirst, as already shown by baudrillard, women became phallopetrified through the image of children, a weaponization of their care for the supposedly innocent and liberal-free, which gave birth to the young girl or cool girl, a mix of the coquette, the female libertine and the erotic innocent. the young-girl is the opposite of the fallen woman other than that she also strives for visibility - but cruically not seeking for it as a point of gain but as a point of loss, the opposite of the hysteric other than that she does treat illness as social technology through which to augment herself, even if she in fact never appears ill, as well as viewing surfaces and intensities as products through which she orients. the cool girl caused the death of the lady, and destabilized the point of women in modern society, but not the death of the girl just yet.second, this process originally spawned as an arte-fact, the trace of which was mistaken as an origin point, affect persisting in the residuality of the outputs coded as emotional signals that spawned as a result of coolness, which led to women being driven into overflection, an excessive malleability and forward bend when it comes to processes of affective production. this spawned affective labour as a category, which, much like the fall of passion, which was christianized into virtue as the strenght of the persistance of bodily-affect upon metaphysical and political suffrage, then psychologized into weakness, then re-routed through action as a decision-point, and much like love which was crushed through duality, coolnesss led to a de-existentialization of women, as can be seen in tiqqun and mike ma, that originally persisted in schopenhauer and winninger, even past the inferiority markers.third, women got structurally imbedded and suffocated into the discourse of patriarchal codes of conduct, the normalization of their resistance against social scripts killed their capture which preceeded a weakning of the social scripts that came before.the nullificators decided that the shared language game as identified by the luhmannian regime of signs that controls social assemblages tied to affect needs to be deconstructed whenever it shows up, they came to the conclusion that philosophical interpretation is only available when it reads audacious off the bat, if theres a subtle unnoticed shift then the mind fails to comprehend its limits. to them, once this is comprehended, instability does become meaningful because it becomes intentionally encoded as dogma. love works to infuze itself as being about excess, suffering and instability and non-temporality and totalizing faults as unforgivable because thats what the language game at this point in time said it should be, so in anyones love quarrel, those traits need to be characterized and highlighted and then by amplification they loop. this is was an ethical task almost for them, not necessarily to align with the current machinic assemblage but just to align with as many as people or with random ones to show agency as like a meta behavior.women then in a sense despawned out of the world not just because of infrastructural regulation, but because men dissapeared first by automizing into the dispersed roles, not just as a factor of historical circumstance but because the position men encompassed already had their entire category gain value out of dispersing their function the same way that womans function from the bourgeoise model of womanhood was operational because of the way in which it made use of itself as desirable to beurocratic men and shell-shocked soldiers aka homofascists as a model of unconstrained affect in the twentieth century, as desirable to romantic geniuses, dandies and incels aka bachelors during the eighteen and nineteenth centuries, and the way it operationalized itself as superior. then, the young-girl is definitely a boundary collapsing category, but it also womanizzes categories before de-binarizing them and third-gendering them, because of the way in which it appeals as expression towards minimization of affect and maximization of desirability. flexibility isnt in tune with hipsterism as formless deideologification in coolness under neoliberalism, but is instead closer to making use of overflection as a passive circulatory currency in affective economiesaffective labour, syphoned away from domestic or professional enviorments was for a while solely locatable in affective economies, where for a while it served a political-ordering function, not necessarily to stratify but to deliniate limits of scarcity under the post-semiotic collapse. as men's nullification took place, the first category to re-emerge wasnt dandyism, melancholism or sentimentalism (the ancestor of coolness) but rather a type of subflicted beurocratizing model, which itself spawned operators. for example, the identity registry, an institution originally only dealing with fringes, becomes a center-point in the regime of signs in the early twenty-second century when incidentally the act of snesing and verification becomes an actual aesthetically embedded category of care, which has a perceived nurturing function.this itself overwrites the then replacement of affect into self-induced subflict into reflict, decoding it into a repetitive impact which weakens the value of sensor-as-sensation-induced verification, leading to sentiment liquidity, causing affects to first lose their value and become diluted, becoming at some point conflated with finance as a form of currency, then later losing out entirely and causing the subflictive economy to drop and incidentally spawning affect for a while. this in turn creates a category of registrators for the new genderless entity-mass, where some of them organize as emotional, acting on the impulse of sensorialization by way of this mnemotechnological apparatus that encodes experiences through interaction as a form of tradable currency by the replaying of exchanges as pieces of intimacy. this in turn causes almost a coquettification of the recieving end (registry consumers).

the produce surfacethe obstretric field☰1 one of the few obstretric fields that doesn't have a matristige value is the rhubarb, which takes care of produce but doesnt have a domesticatory function, which is a function of care that creates bubbles which spawn fields of autoerotic resonance. rhubarbs, full of pure raw excrement and vomentilos, the combined liquid of excrement that forms a thick but more kaminoan and sometimes alephic or structurolonguistical layer on top, dont posses frequencies, but create soft rabato-like will-waves, but concentrated to the produce-source in yoder.☰2 obstretic nanodimensional or alphied entity-points as opposed to kaminoan fields are numenous rhubarbified microsurfaces that also functionally serve as points and may present topologically as pareaus in that they cover a territory in exclusive segmentiational forms, and furthermore proprieterially include an orgasumption with excremental features but only to its limit-point, leaving naked areas non-cared for that produce future excitational agressivities, their supporting function is however frigid in that autogyneophiliac tendencies are momentarily supressed by authorial-oedipal function. the armoring of the produce surface as shaped by the rhubarb causes the obstretic field to momentarily shift into a beneship of amnioesis, whereby the orifice temporarily gains a domestificatory function as an anti-ghast, vulgarly presenting opening as swallowing and thereby allowing the rhubarb to nalgonize and multiply sporradically outward in the force of spherical meatization of maternal-matter-external fields which aren't extra-maternal but are hypermatrilineal.☰3 obstretification supports by non-technical mnemonesis in the form of a gnorb, a series of ecsatic destressors which differ from snorb, in that they are dispossed of any ecstatic intensifiers, snorb on the other hand being a socially transferable discharge mode mixed in with humiliating resonance, a destabilizing bubble-field. the fully kaminoan, non-alephic layer formed by the vomentilos is meterdimensional and nethical, lacking inner frequency potential and also presenting as libidinally agressive but non-enabling. kaminoan layers force the rhubarb to behave through tertiary retention, recalling weapons against the produce gnorbially as the sequence updates in grammatization-real-time, stratifying various pre-emptive fields of intensity and retending its own vision of an apparatus as asymmetrical to the spawnpoint-logic of the produce.☰4 rhubarbs have a bongiorno, a component of resonance in the form of an experience that behaves as a failed-level discharge, that disposesses the kaminoan layer in order for the ghastly layer to spawn, which is the ontonomic object of succulency pointed outwards as a type of force but in the topological function of a lanklet, the body-double of the fetal archetype. inside the produce it behaves autonomically, and is connected by the

self-conscious and paranoid language users with no other creatures to share and morally reflect on our abstractions with, which leads to selfish and confused mass genocidal activity corresponding with ecological suicide in an attempted self-annihilation. octavia's xenogenesis frames the narrative of abstractions leading to annihilation to us, ironically, through the use of aliens, who invade earth and liberate it from destruction, coming to serve as projections of what we do to creatures on this planet in order to understand ourselves - to the level of near-suicide. the conflict of destiny and identity seems so unnaturally high for our construct-species complex, that all inventions seem to be pathologically related to a process of various latent clinicalized self-reflective tendencies.this conflict appears not just for general but also particular categorical identities, such as sandy stone's understanding of the medically invented transsubjectivity in her posttransexual manifesto, where she identifies that harry benjamin’s transsexual phenomenon provided the model or standard reference under which researchers evaluated transsexuals for their suitability for surgery, only later discovering that they themselves were building themselves around benjamin's model in order to form more acceptable behavioral profiles. trans women studied it and performed it accordingly, after which clinicians “confirmed” its accuracy with new case studies, leading sandy to the realization, amongst a lot of other similar and different cases that medical institutions don't just regulate but also produce subjectivities and mental illnesses according to the logic of the institutions themselves. whats important for later is that stone also finds that mehl concludes there is no greater psychopathology in transgender individuals as opposed to the general population.corresponding with techno-pharmaceutical advancement was also the re-discovery of the complexities of the body, which de-essentialized us only ever-further. turns out, gametes - the cells of sexual reproduction - are rigged where only dual extremes (the large and static female, the tiny and active male) win, allowing no divergence from a strict dimorphism. creatures have unique sex organs, multi-factoral sexual characteristics, simultaneous hermaphoriditsm and so fourth, but not unique reproductive cells. for humans, it gets even more strict, our secondary sex traits and primary sexual structures also feature less divergence than other species, including sea creatures, fungi and plants. my intention here isn't to argue that gametes show absolute determinism (see: joan roughgarden, anne fausto-sterling), but simply to push back slightly against preciado's theory, which i will extensively develop commentary on in a second.octavia's aliens posses a third sex which mates with humans. in a certain sense, their focus on reproductivity as destiny (octavia frames them as gene-traders) turns them into forced transhumanists. the same way the civilian will eventually displace the villian category entirely, the transhumanist may displace the civilian, in an odd moment where the transgender and the transhuman become the same thing, as the alien becomes one of us, and we create ourselves all over again in a totally new image, the image of the new female, or reproductive herald, of mankind, which is a theme that i will tackle later through andrea long-chu, the concept of the woman as a surface.the theme of villians and civillians is an old talking point in socialist discourse, where marx calls for the abolition of the distinction between town and country, rousseau stresses how villians are forced to transform into civillians in order to preserve their well-being, not only due to the higher living standard supported by the latter, but also by the way in which the former is suddenly put in a dangerous position if he does not abide by the socially structural logic of the time. the idea is also seen in bordiga, who advances the abolishing of the capitalist mode of production as correlated to a type of savior complex towards rural populations, and the unification between agrarian and urban settlements.technogender and pharmacopornographic era, two chapters in preciado's testo junkie feature the most radical and ambitious pursuit in proof of and simultaneously in pursuit of (given its call to avoid drowning it in rousseauian utopian-dystopian narratives or hegelian apocalypticism) transhumanism-transsexualism that i've come across. what is otherwise disguised as another affective-personalized pamphlet and yet another burdensome anthropological study actually hides within it an entirely new, albeit fragmented ontology that also arrives with a relatively stable conceptual political programme accompanied by a cybernetic study.in it, he argues that the postwar period's increasing capacity for scientific innovation lead to its medically managing intersex babies, producing somatic fictions tied to primary sexual structures, whilst also introducing variables - such as chromosomes, hormones and psychology itself - that shattered the epistemology of strict sexual difference. he insists that, rather than admiting multiplicity, pharmacist medicinal ideology artificially reinforced dimorphism with surgical and hormonal interventions. all other sexual features in humans have been certainly shown to be multi-factoral.the reason this work is so ambitious is that, instead of arguing that gender is a "social construct" instead of an essential product, it blames feminist movements for wrongfully claiming they helped propogate this viewpoint instead of pharmacopornographic capital, which literally produced sexual bimorphism as a culturally determinate divide amongst the generally noted badiouian modernity-induced saturation and latourian-mortian propagation of networked hyperobjects, movable ideas and enhanced nonhuman visceral permutations (products of biotech), whilst also both physically and culturally engineering intersexual and multi-factoral characteristics away from bodies so as to maintain the illusion that gametes and primary sexual characteristics are determinate of nuanced gendered behaviors.according to preciado, this is where queer theory came in, butler and de lauretis developed theories of performativity to fill in the lack of an explanation for what ended up being called gendered identity - a stand in for american neoliberalism's insistence on collective practices pertaining to self-identification taken to cosmological grounds. preciado shows us how owning the means of the production of the body is the definitive determinant constant of gendered divides, not cultural discourses nor scientific discoveries.preciado heralds technosomatic communism, the reclaiming of biocodes - hormones and prostheses - from pharma-state institutions and their imposed regulations. he invokes sloterdijk's voluntary auto-intoxiciation and auto-guineapigism are called on as viewing the body through a dual scheme of subjugation-experimentation. preciado may or may not see the that self-guinead doctor also attempts to attain an inner consistency where he is supposedly only a consistent representative of the new magic, never a victim to it, disallowing total immersion as deleuze would view - frozen scientification. i see his strategic call or programme as slightly derivative when in comparison to what i believe will actually be the felt consequence of capital that will arise in the future, but nontheless, his call is ultimately inspiring.although its the best example, this work fits into an existing conversation - whereas preciado invents masturbatory potentiality as a type of biotech force governing souls that serves as a central piece to the formation and maintenance of subjectivities by the western world - rothblatt speculates the scenario where souls are uploaded to minds, referencing morgan's altered carbon where souls inhabiting artificially constructed nanotech bodies fight alongside the original human bodily shell in a racist clash. rothblatt's version of masturbatory potential is a biotechnical resource that future actual transhumans will have to fight for their right to possess.rothblatt argues that cognitive consciousness as a resource will arise way earlier in transhumans than erotic sensations, in which case preciado's force will go from an opressive curse or weapon into a war for re-discovery. rothblatt cynically and surgically treats the future speculative transhumanists as our transgender peers, oddly speculating on their utilitarian prospects and managing their social resources as a fight for attaining quantities or qualities of joy relative to their predisposition. this type of measuring conflict is a natural consequense of our technological dissection of the world, where speculating on possible gains is something that appears as something of a fundamental strategy for engaging in the form of life itself, a narrative that is reproduced earlier in tiqqun's cybernetic manifesto.her argumentative positivism reminds me of the way in which we find a historical homology of technizing gender through for example balzac's parodies in the physiognomy of marriage where he's forced to reproduce quantifiable statistics on bachelors (the name for incels two hundred years ago) and the ways in which they can strategize to out-compete other men for the limited amount of tiqqunian young girls (datable women as opposed to generalized females, an ever-thinning margin due to the unnatural benefits of forming yourself into the former over the latter category), where gender theory at some point forces thinkers like rothblatt to dabble into pseudo-statisticology and fourier-type speculative tables, where color-coded gendered profiles emerge as a way to gain maximum benefit from your constructed subjectivity as it corresponds to certain political terrains. political opportunism arises the moment where constructed subjects begin to be reified on top of the world's existing subjectivities, forcing a clash that requires a resolution which can only draw its power from social economics.braidotti's deathly holistic works on the posthuman do offer us a few rare scaffolds to cling to, such as the idea that the structures of the political economy of bio-genetic capitalism can be anti-anthropocentric without being anti-humanistic, in an attempt to seize the status of the agent by coating it in a shell of cybernetic intelligence and preserving it, or that machinic autopoiesis itself indicates that technology isnt anthropocentric. however, the holistic prerogative reads too much like a programme to me, especially when the entire language is aesthetically coded in it, which doesn't allow the occassional protrusion of concepts, at least not in the way you'll find it in preciado's anthropology.

the production of bodiesin regards to the question of why the production of bodies - correlated to foucauldian disciplinary modernity - appears second in this paper, when chronologically it ought to be first is precisely because, for as long as postmodernity happened to believe that subjectivity was the primary discoursive crutch of all symbolic processes and the cumulative design philosophy for the engineered world, capital and its oversaturation and propagation complexes do in fact produce ontologies from under us faster than we can keep up, in a villanous reversal that shows us how technology is suddenly naturalized - appearing in autopoietic constructs, when previously thought to be locked to allopoietic constructs - and vice versa - the natural world suddenly shown to be fully synthesizable leading to auto-reificatory constructs, when modernity previously deemed reification as solely a social construct.a decade before preciado, stryker reclaimed monstrosity as an impending transformation that invades nature, and rage as its counterpart - the frankensteinian product of external pathologization but also intrinsic generative intensity. putting into question creatures as creations instead of dehumanizeds, the f-turned-t-monster is seen through the vision of the lovely eccentric dysphorics as an embodiment of technology turned against itself in an attempt to dictate conditions of assimilability.shelley's frankenstein serves as our historical middle-point between the human, the animal, the machine and the alien, so it's the perfect description of a creature, monster, natural and artifical creation all at once, the perfect schizophrenic being who belongs the least, making it the most radical. however, the question remains of whether this being if speculated from todays perspective can contain itself as its own site of creation or whether it dissipates in its own self-mutilation as something enchanted with an excitable-frustrative tendency to self-immolate or drown under its own affect.whereas preciado's theories show abundant examples of intersex problematics from an empirical standpoint, the strongest suits there are still philosophical, whereas in karkazis' fixing sex, empirical examples of clinical intersex authority consensus and status quo decadence take the front row, showing how although there are seemingly minimal studies that show how early intrusive gential surgery actually helps concerns such as future bodily comfort, orgasm-ability and parents initial and extended concerns over the consequences of queered experiences, technological professionals and their efficient clinical operative tendencies tend to smoothe out what appears to be anxities over gender-atypical bodies, serving to smoothe out and eliminate inconsistencies over worries about non-normative experiences, or about the very fact of the existence of such bodies.the production of bodies takes the front row, where heteronormative discourse, what karkazis refers to as the heterosexual paradigm, allows for young boys with smaller sexual reproductive organs to remain in possession of them, whilst simultaneously smoothing out any "inconsistencies" in girls with "severe virilization", even after they are well aware of the fact that studies are largerly inconclusive or lightly point away from the idea that these surgeries are beneficial whatsoever.whats important is that she also discovers how doctors are generally open to discussing the possibility of the stigma attached to these procedures, but not the extent of the procedures themselves, which is humorously and bureaucratically exemplified by numerous conferences such as the chicago consensus meeting, where rhetoric about mutilation instead of normalization seems to be a crutch by activists to avoid the uncomfortable reality of technological discourse further gatekeeping uncomfortable intersex bodies from existing in the way they otherwise would, as well as essentially encouraging psychological support, and rejecting equating homosexuality with failed treatment, whilst still continuing the technological operations of forming the bodies in the particular ways that they've been deemed to be formed by the medicamentalities of the pharmaceutical-medicinal apparatus.at the beginning of the twentieth century, hirschfeld, a german progressive coined the terms transvestite and then soon after transsexual, opening clinical spaces for gendered varience. he was initially an advocate of homosexuality, which caused outrage all over germany, partially influenced by the commonality of self-harm scars on the arms of his patients, as well as oscar wilde's death. he would be one of the first advocates of homosexuality as natural, which was viewed by the popular newspapers of the time as promoting "freaks" in the "name of pseudoscience". after that, in the fifties, some of the first gender-affirming surgeries would be performed in this institute, only after his exile and its raid by nazis, which he would escape from by touring the world and promoting orgasm pills, as well as settling in nice, france. ironically, he would only promote heterosexuality and increased intimate and emotional comfort to american audiences upon learning of their xenophobic attitude, at one time being known as the einstein of sex in that region and a "romantic expert".whats interesting to note about the magnus hirschfeld institute and the nazis raiding is the irony of todays political problems regarding trans experiences and regulations being almost of the exact same character. trans theory has been historically disciplined into an anthropology-of-regulation, where practical and political fights over legitimacy and validation have triumphed over actual ontological discourses, preventing it from becoming a philosophy and constantly relegating it into a cultural movement, partially due to the fact that american discourses have a tendency to be locked into rituals of legitimacy that dont favour conceptual scaffolding, but instead are particularly interested in the way cybernetics and affect link together with practical and political procedures of management, which is why figures like foucault become so popular overseas, and, ironically, this very vested interest in networks, media cultures and affective theories is the perfect drawing-point for something like trans discoursessome time shortly after the first institution was formed in germany, in the sixties, the previously mentioned work benjamin's transsexual phenomenon would release, as well as the johns hopkins clinic which instituionalized surgical programs. raymond gives an account of how disgustingly patriarchal and downright insidious these practices are, it almost comes off as a "sexed" or engendering performance where men get to evaluate the perceived womanhood and qualifiability to be a woman of the candidates that have a built-in waiting period for where they can be accepted for surgery, having to "live out" as women, almost suspended in a state of auto-prostitutive conduct.around this time pathologization would dominate, which would soon be followed by the first trans autobiographies in the seventies. in the early eighties the first terf writing, raymond's transsexual empire would release, which sandy stone's empire strikes back responds to. feinberg during this time would finally tie it existing conflict theories. around this time also, anthropologists would begin to highlight an ethnographic and indigenous account of third genders in order to politicize it further, which is a curious and honestly quite ineffective move in my view, due to the way in which irrelevant social contexts can be dragged into discussions which do largely pertain to technologization of gender, as globalism and modernity in my view don't allow for enough cultural pluralism to actually produce substantial mystical affects of this variety.in 2013, the dsm-5 would replace gender identity disorder with the term dysphoria, which does pretty much nothing from an outward political view other than attempting to destigmatize existing clinical legitimacy structures. in the early parts of the new century, conspiracists and bored populists would turn trans rights into a mainstream political issue, highlighting gender criticality discourses and worries over puberty blockers and detransitioning, which have been shown to be beneficial almost across the board for trans people.the conflict between technogendered queer negativists and genderfluid alchemists and technogendering intersex-consensus appealing medical cultists draws boundaries between two equally insane parties, the cisdoctor supported by engineered "normal" civilians who are no longer subjectively naturalized but hold onto the myth to protect their sanity, and the transdoctor, supported by doomsday prophets who en-doctor themselves so they can have a fair shot at blasting the contagious transweapon at what they rightfully believe is an equally disingenous secret trans-admiring, albeit normativized technoprofessional consortium.just to be clear, you see one side arguing that queer negativity succeeds and overcomes clinical ideology, terfs arguing that clinicians and trans people work hand-in-hand to reproduce their ideology, more centrist-leaning anthropological trans readings arguing that doctors are complicit in stigmatizing trans people and reproducing heteronormativity but nontheless usually are empirically shown to be attempting to have a positive or constructive view towards aiding them, and yet another side arguing that capitals appropriation of biotech needs to be communionized and reappropriated.i don't necessarily think there are "more or less" correct narratives, but i do think about how heteronormativity can just as easily be viewed through clinical ideology as its own normativizing function, not just from within intersexed discourses and the way it relates and mirrors back from their stigma of trans people, but even more directly, i believe that heterosexual relationships are fundamnetally pathological, in that they are built under more perverse fetishtic bonds, as the appropriative and economcially abstractive social schema forces them to become less organic and more cultivated, requiring higher amounts of concentrated fetish to maintain.as for stone herself, my view is that her criticism of transgenders "passing" does in fact obscure their history and the "mixing of genres" that comes off as a result of this is in fact a type of queer negativity, and creates a much more powerful standpoint for them. however, passing, in certain socio-practical situations, diffuses inconsistencies, stigmas and so fourth. essentially, i'm not arguing that transgenders ought to avoid not passing, but that there could be reasons that they were doing so until recently, that they were fitting into the discourse precisely for long enough to be partially allowed wider and more attentive degrees of normalization, enough to manage to pass through uncorrupted but still legitimized enough to explore their own genre (over gender) correctly.hausman in her work changing sex argues that transsexuals work in cohorts with normativity-doctors in order to produce standard accounts of transgender identities in order to argue in favor of surgeries, leading to the engineering of trans bodies that work in defense of transsubjectivity. her misreading of stone as shown through bettcher's commentary as well as her argument with posser show how liturgical voices and affective narratives serve to split the subject into autobiographical accounts that correlate the body, with the preconceived notion of always having been the opposite gender, with further accounts of legitimizing and ritualizing the procedure of the convergence, as well as the act of maintaining this narrative itself, and the ways in which this all ties together shows how there is a certain cosmologization or authentication of the transed body.bettcher's conclusion is that even radical feminist accounts can appear as trans exclusionary in increasingly disasterous ways especially when following a particular narrative position, however, i am more fascinated by the way in which medical ideology may have indirect consequences on non-clinically relevant trans persons, as i do think there is a correlation between the pathology produced from clinical ideology and the way in which, at the very least, transitude has been influenced to develop its specific theory of subjectivity, even if this isnt the sole reason.hausman in her work mentions maltz's text new faces - new futures, where he argues that because of the way social attitudes react to and inform expectations of beauty, people who don't fit that current constructive standard would be alliviated of their pain from being sort of, indirectly influenced in considering themselves crooked or deformed by having to accept getting the plastic surgery as a compromise for fitting that specific time-periods ideas of beauty. this sort of paints a lot of surgical procedures as pathological normalizations of bureaucratically inscribed weakness, essentailly, the tainting of a persons self-will to restrain himself not to fit the current status quo standards.hausman, on top of this, will want to argue that views on what normalcy constitutes can only be considered in correlation with an ideology that only exists due to the fact that these technical procedures exist and tend to influence expectations on what they can and should produce - therefore constituting a backwards legitimacy with artifical benefits such as "customer approval and happiness". hausman humorously notes that that couldn't be the same criteria for something like heart surgery, which doesn't serve to question the legitimacy of the criteria for cosmetic surgery, but the way in which something can even be culturally enforced as cosmetic and to which extent this can be seen as interacting with ideas of supposed non essential tissue. the text also points out how these very procedures have their own normative standard, not only taking in patient expectations but existing ideas of which types of classes and preconfigurations fit in with which specific type of adjustments. this quickly turns surgery away from a liberational idea that can conquer and fight against the standard model, to placing it instead in the deepest corners of a pathological-industrial complex.to a certain extent, i'm reminded of william ernest henley's hospital poems, and the way the clinic was originally a horror house, where surgical and clinical developments were slow, lethal, tortorous and unbelievably dense, scientists historically have made so many mistakes and wrong turns, and ego and status games prevented the discovery of tuberculosis strains, proper hygenic practices like handwashing, glove wearing and the late developments of anasthesia, incorrect uses of various substances such as nitrous, including the horrible history of "plasticky" interventions into peoples lives, causing freak accidents due to the accidental and often times ignorant administration of heavy metals in childrens medication pills, or the way certain sterile ideologies correlate with the destruction of metabolic bacteria that cause various problems with the body's microbiology.all of those freak accidents, when juxtaposed with the way that the clinical institute currently produces bodies in an increasingly sterile, plasticky way, devoid of the original horror and suffering of clinical procedures, shows some type of twisted, backwards, villanous and maybe even pathologically traumatic fragment of the way the physical sciences developed, especially when they had to face off against the techno-biological ailments caused by modernity. the clinical institute served as the way to identify the curses that modernity produced, but it also serves as the scapegoat, technological society dumped all of its waste products and engineered contemporary man out of the literal flesh of its victims, it ripped together and spliced bodies apart, symbolically in a similar way to the way we engineer bodies now. todays artifical and synthetic engineering could be a type of weird performative roleplay of those same type of practices.

it is often noted in anthropological studies that balkan and chinese societies or historically societies in poverty suddenly developed increasing interest in meat-eating cultures, sportscars and other various technologies they weren't permitted to. in a similar way, clinical technology and its ideology may have at some point as baudrillard notes, eliminated negative ailments, forcing itself to create saturated (positive, synthetic) enemies like hiv and cancer in order to continue to face off against an enemy, whilst turning all of its tools to suture the skin of anyone that wants to perform as a medicinal subject in the meanwhile.whilst stryker manages to produce images where the frankensteinan monster evades all biophysiological dogmas and manages to fit into his own monstrosity, finding a place among the rest of the world in a way that fundamentally re-essentializes all difference as substitutive of the total correlation between all created beings in their experiences as moving towards the image of god in unity, hausman manages to trample difference and pick through the minor things, never allowing herself to see the exact way in which construction slides its affective charge into onto-politicality and the way in which this agenda revolutionizes our understanding of essence itself. at the very least, if nothing else, her striking and creative criticality is romantically barren, her dreams appaer as shallow when looked at from above-ground.the production of bodies propagates and reformulates different functionalities of the body, however, the most important conflict between subjectification and ideological embodiement here naturally is the womb.hysterotaxisamidst the chaos, exclusionary radicals like jeffreys use social constructivism against the supposed essentialism of transness in works such as gender hurts, but their opponents themselves sound way more like preciado - way less concerned with essence - than jeffreys would be happy with. jeffreys's attack on transness as non essential doesnt do the boring thing of social constructivism but the fun thing of essentially rooting things like mania, self obsession, medical aesthetic interests and the power of applied femininity into the idea of identity as essential rather than, the essentiality of identity - to then ruin it all by arguing its used to silence women's conflict against patriarchal cisnormativity.although most terfs anthropological understandings of transgenderism, such as its construction by clinical ideology and its occurance within frameworks of categorical modernity are accurate, their reliance on sexological frameworks supplied by blanchard, bailey and lawrence such as autogynephilia, paraphilia and particular identifiable constructs that attempt to piece together intentions seem like less of a consensus on trans identities and more of a weaponization. this makes the view immediately suspect, due to the way in which it attempts to fit an entire narrative into transsubjectivity as a predisposition for it rather than a possible explanation.unlike foucault, who traces the construction of homosexuality in the nineteenth century as a form of speculative genealogy, exclusionary radicals mirror the perspective of somebody who is afraid of what transsubjectivity reveals about heteronormativity, which says more about the latter than the former.this gay (man-loving) fight over who hates men more - or rather, derrida's phallogocentrism, rarely anything outside of discourse, has only obscured how craze-freaked transitude is, and how equally manic hysterotaxis (my term for ordering ideology by-the-womb) is as a terf response-weapon, let alone, the way drawing on sexualized psychic investment isnt harmful to begin with, as stryker herself would admit.yet, if you destabilize cisnormativity itself as equally freaky as trans thinkers have done, half of the theoretical weight of the problem is already gone. preciado argues that by denying cisnormativity and subjecting it to a rigorous framework of specific forms of mania, whilst positing transness as auto-pathological or even auto-technical, the conflict has no middle ground to exist in its closed frame or form.cisnormativity's play with womens consent boundaries, war as indigenous conflict crossplay and patriarchy as solanas money-fetishistic society is itself manic. the destabilizing factor is what makes these concepts constructive, those who add "cispatriarchy is normal but evil, it created trans people to distract from also normal but good radfeminism" mirror the equally lazy trans-approving justice-oriented version of this conflict, the "transness is both confused but justified dysphoria and anti cispatriarchy simultaneously" that stryker and others espouse.cispatriarchphallocentrism itself will not escape allegations of transmutation, for it heralds its own form of evolving and normative mania-coded subversions and nature-questioning subversions, can also be seen in preciado, who could simply be fighting with conservationists and latourian purificationists, never affirmationists of pharmaco-technoscience, who themselves may be the crazed scientists preciado fears them to be, who restrict everyone elses ability to be trans simply so they can steal even more of it, rather than planning something more boring like trapping us all in a neverendless homosexuality - which, as carriere-bouchard has been seen arguing for online, should be the real term for heterosexuality given its intense homogeneity.regarding the conflict, preciado would argue that this regime is instead more concerned with the control of orgasmic power and the way it produces a disciplinary regime of reproductive logics. or otherwise, so that the normativity scientists can supposedly impose onto us latent self-control mechanisms over our own bodies, which is a popular narrative in contemporary theory circles today, which can be seen all the way back into baudrillard and as forward as byung chul-han.as a result of this double-sided conspiracy, preciado produces techno junkies of all kinds, he'll say - the world cannot tell apart experiment from slave as it slowly transitions into a post-conflict society, no longer disciplinary nor controlling, something that can see through regulations but doesn't feel the need to fight them if no real enemy is present and science and the body are allowed to roll around in medicamentalities, pushing forward into techno-transcendence as we envision the body, much like preciado envisions our own medicament, as unable to slow down.raymond in her empire argues that women's bodies are auto-raped by transsexuals who enter them and turn them into an appropriable artifact, where rape isn't a force but a deception, a self-constituted mockery. in this fascinating but hurtful exposition, wouldn't raymond have to then admit that the transsexual is an auto-arabic terrorist, performing a form of latent but degradive rather than spectacular kamikaze, in the sense that this self-exposition also degrades the character of whoever is performing this role on top of the attempt to degrade women's characters and bodies?raymond's focus in her work is on the way in which sexual fetish is seen as a burden by women, something they have to spawn in and deal with, when in comparison to the transsexual, who sees it as a devoted ritual obligation, simultaneously something to control and attempt to put in its rightful place, as well as an obsession of form and function, and a general fixation, something that one can also view their sexual liberation as incomplete without.however, the aspect of mirroring sexual female organs itself is auto-castrative, in that, yes, you can use feminist readings as andrea long-chu would do with reversing freud's reading of penis envy back onto men, but nontheless, this type of devotion for what in patriarchal societies is seen as a vulnerability or opening can hardly be seen as a type of one-sided parodic affiliation or positivist inclination if not removed from a type of sacrifical devotedness of a more pleasant and puritan type, the christian-obsessive victim, purification, completionist complex rather than the manipulative one.all of this is argued for, of course, on top of the existing, now well understood fact that there's no way these types of ideas are actually synonymous with trans experiences or forms of reasonings, which is why i herald this as more an experiment to understand how terfs comprehend feminine burden rather than my attempt at a defense of transitude.bettcher points out some of her contradictions quite well, such as the idea that male to female transitioners are sexist both if they evade heternormativity and if they enable it, that clinical ideology both perpetuates heternormative surgical operations and enables particular demands by trans people, as well as integrity - the wholeness of sex roles that can only be seen as its whole, and integration - the blending of all sexual roles in order to construct a synthetic hole - can only be conflictually solved by a removal of integration, which, seemingly would do nothing but harm integrationists whilst everyone is still waiting around to achieve integrity, especially given the poor way in which raymond seems to treat feminist strategies against patriarchy.butler argues against reymonds theories of integrity in gender trouble, where she notices how signification appears in an orbit of repetition, the necessity to be a certain gender produces the failures that the subject then positions itself around, meaning that to configure itself, it must update its understanding of what it means to be engendered, which cant happen as a transcendental motive but as an existing co-constitutive experience.integration is equalized with integrity, where the essence of the engendered performance can't be thought of as seperate to its constitutive reality. this constitutivity is also a key argument for the way in which no subject can be thought of as possessing anything that fundamentally damns it, or causes a total incapacitation, symbolic or otherwise, on account of the subject. the phallus is always relative or co-constituve of the experience, the body, the womb, all forms of responsibility, surfaces, social styles, everything is created in the moment that all of us allow eachother to experience our engendered reality.hysterotaxis appears almost as a fundamental operative around which to base the way in which womanhood escapes its surfacivity and allows itself to become beholden to a three dimensionality. pregnancy, a blessing of the wound, is seen as the way in which the body achieves an actual dimensional state, an operative mode where the achievement of a body inside of a body creates the being itself, who can finally allow itself to achieve its productive state. the technology of the body is built to sustain the body inside of itself, preganancy becomes both a cannibalization and an ontological re-formulation of beings. the "purity" of the woman is also finalized by the technologically abstract and machinic process of the formulation of organs and the transformation of woman into man that happens in the envelope of the pregnant experiencetranswombs, their eventual forthcoming introduction, not yet present but properly ritualizable (transitude can still experience the wombed state, but it will always be abstracted away until technology can permit it correctly) might themselves relativize the synthetic-biological aspect of the existing status of pregnancy, revealing the womb to be a theatre rather than a shell, a production studio rather than an organic cover. the cultural logic will attempt to build the womb from scratch, it may be evocative of the time in which it exists, from cds to usbs to bluetooth, the womb will reflect the decisions of the time, it will have buttons in cybertopia, it will have dial-remote switching, or maybe it will be an app on your phone where you can stare at your baby whilst it cooks.in the long future, faces will be deemed unecessary and removed, as you stare at the world directly through your phone screen, which is several amounts more pixelated and accurate than the eye - now with ultraviolet light! just like samsung switch, you can directly position yourself inside your own womb, and confirm that you are in fact an insidedness. men possess such no insidedness, their dewombified state will make them mundane characters in the social and civil experience, and a type of latent matriarchy may develop. raymond wonders why there are far more male to women transitioners than the other way around, blaming female to male ones as validative scapegoats. but what if this is because of the superiority of a woman, not as a fetishistic or devoted construct, nor as a product of techno-orgasmic social encodedness or engendering, but because of practices that validate matter itself, or the way in which women help us understand spatiotemporal realms by divorcing one part of themselves in order to arrive at a whole?

gynophoriain females, andrea long-chu argues that femaleness is defined by a type of self-negation that depends on mechanisms of social regulation and appropriation - and that identification becomes ever-harder as genderedness is weaponized against the identities of its inhabitors rather than in favor of their emancipation. i think what andrea is doing here is theorizing a concept i call gynophoria - my term for the burden of the forced carrying of this social artifact of the failure for responsible womanhood or transwomens cultivation of it as a site of libidinally repressed energies.long-chu argues that comedian loftus, in an attempt to parody performative male genius by engaging in contextually inappropriate acts with the book infinite jest after being urged to read it by men who also didn't know what it was about, ended up also performing female stupidity due to her exhibiting herself as above it whilst precise mimicking the very action of stupidity towards it in an attempt to mock men's status-signalling.she possesses an obsession with male validation complexes on both sides of resistance and subsumption because she herself is a product of the way the femaleness - the condition of constant cultural engendering practices of non ascetic - non universilizable, culturally inclined - men - has transformed women into men, but worse, more frail versions who either have to pose as desirable ascetic men who are transformable but roughly and with resistance, or simply as whores (andrea's dumb blodedness) that enact performative resistance that itself is already subsumed entirely.in a reading of gigi gorgeous's bimbification ritual, andrea fails to realize that whilst the process of exhibition does entail leaning into someone elses fantasy in order to perform an embarassing display of stripping yourself down to a purer and more elaborate image of someone else's desire - the very act of this merciless and functional stripping away of characteristic actually serves as a backhanded criticism of the very foundation of others desires, framing desire as secondary to the function of its becoming, which is the menification that women precisely attempt to avoid but nontheless encounter in their tragic fate.in long-chu's concept-realm, rather than everyone being a woman and hating it, women dont really exist. if its true that only mens culture exists as an engendering concept whilst women cant really resist in any meaningful way, then the fantasy of a woman as something that doesnt resist and only subsumes is incompatible with the way that resistance itself, in all its embarassing subsumptive exposition, actually shows the imperfectness of a proper subsumption, even when stripped down to its functional harmony. the lack of women ever achieving themselves as proper "surfaces" is precisely present in their men-ification, their complete reliance on humanity's very sharp and twangy, non-flat textured cultural experiences.meanwhile, menhood persist everywhere, as the gradient of dumb womanhood just falls one step lower every time men fall further into whoreism (self-embarassement) complexes, as andrea shows in a twist of the castration complex as men possessing vagina-envy and dreaming of becoming subsumed subjects in their own right, hoping to avoid responsibility whilst falling into its embarassing reality. meanwhile, actual agenthood in the ungendered way is just everyone who already creates their own worlds, which means theyre fully narcissistic but not obsessive in the slightest, whoever those people are. especially females who arent women, or at the very least who arent tiqqunian young girls, to the point of not even recognizing themselves as women in the proper sense or not needing to.the lacanian split of womanhood itself is a false equivalence, given the nun and the whore do want to become one another, but its precisely the agent who is the nun, the man who is the whore, and the woman who simply doesnt appear in her own equation, unable to be both the sexiest surface, the most anhedonic man, and the fantasy-subject of desire itself, if displaced in lacanianism, or otherwise, producing too much intensity whilst stripping itself away, failing to become a woman under lyotardianism either. conflict always eats itself alive, i can see myself writing andrea's book exactly as it is, ironically, the production vs. invention of theory...against long-chu, if you want to escape imperfect womanhood into proper menhood, you can resist being socially conditioned, codified and assorted, but you mustnt do that whilst identifying for the possibility of a construct and waiting for validation. andrea cant think outside of validative complexes and thats creating a hazard for her own philosophy. she explains the concept of the woman-turned-male as a tragedy of the commons (mike ma's formulation) perfectly, but is stuck being too much of what she thinks a woman ends up being (not literally but in her own figurative extrapolation) to tell that not everyone - in fact no one - is a woman. meanwhile though, her description of women's commodification isnt half bad, but too anthropologically-confined to create a conceptual scaffolding that can holster it, whilst at the same time, her description of womanhood actually properly describes their inescapable menification.her insistence on solanas gets close to this theory when she argues that instead of transness serving as the pathological assimilation of mysoginist steryotypes, it instead serves as the rule governing all gender - except the romanticized reactionary essentialist currently non existent alternative of surpressed females drives that chu sees in solanas and humorously argues that she may have been the last untempered survivor of.its odd that andrea calls solanas theory outdated to a byzantine degree, when she has simply mirrored and flipped the theory to argue for its exact opposite - with caveats like the removal of essentialism - mainly corresponding to the idea that instead of surpressed instincts being carried over into the production surplus social shaping, surplus social shaping carries surpressed instincts into the re-production of essential conditions - namely womanhood, which is why i have no problem positing that instead of this theory, the abstract object of woman can at best be replicated as a social artifact and never truly achieved, if the concepts of repression-intension carry the cultural weight of social-abstractive processes all on their own with no additive technological advancements.meanwhile, in deeper tangles of trans theory, halberstam's polemic in the queer art of failure makes use of solanas nihilistic misandrist intensity in order to indict edelman of elitism, abstraction, apolitical formalism as well as bersani and gay male aesthets as a whole of irony, ennui and generalized formal detachment that secludes attempts at queer negativity by, essentially, being overwhelmingly kantian about things, as well as drawing on an archive of polemical writers and artists that limits the cvetkovichian "archive of feelings" down to a pre-selected camp, that depends on sentimentalization and lacks in faux realism and broader kitsch juxtapositions, in order to preclude itself away from the contemporary order of things.what halberstam and edelman show us is that gender discourses themselves serve as productive sites for the creation of aesthetic and cultural styles rather than strictly serving for rationalized discoursive programs. territorial stakes are placed on top of gender, even justice-oriented speakers are attempting to seize gender into their idea of what it should represent stylistically and not just politically, maybe even political positionality isn't the point as much as the way status and social positioning impact the way gendered affect actually circulates, which would explain the overwhelming amount of testimonials, with serano's whipping girl as the crowned example.in the envelope, irigaray argues that god, as providing his own envelope and being as substance and self-caused, is conceived through his own path. in irigaray, man creates god in order to ground himself, and uses women as a standing pole from which to create his own envelope, so he may necessarily do so. evil arises when a body prevents a thought and vice versa, and if the woman is reduced to this surface, then, there is no way for the agents to exchange their own reciprocal freedoms or work off one another on an ontological plane. she argues that rape is auto-interactive and non-constituve of an intellectualized body, and in a certain sense, that woman herself has been reduced to this role if forced to take on the role of man's receptacle.gynophoria helps tie together affective charges, stylistically-preferential hyperobjects and aesthetic boards with ontological-theological readings of femininity in a way where, no matter the responsibility the concept carries with it, no one single theorist, from beauvoir to gillian rose, neither weil nor anna winters can serve to totalize it, whilst all of them can still somehow entirely capture it. this creates this type of discrepancy that allows it to proliferate as both an ontological and a gendered perspective.

hyperphoriathe way to escape hysterotaxis along with gynophoria is precisely through the creation of alien sexual organs, something butler needs to and does argue against when she wants to keep up the specific transposition she carries along in her theory, requiring symbolic charges to prevent manic clustering mechanisms.a perfectly queered apparatus is one that resists theories of burden, responsibility or essential property - and instead argues for their total deterritorialization and reappropriation into new socially symbolic systems. however, as our cultural machinic-network requires its advanced abstractive complex in order to discharge its own conflict-states, the creation of novel technogendered biocodes - quite literally a re-engineering of territories, to the level of the alienefication - not machination but videogamification of avatars will be required to really achieve states of peace.the discovery of an elaborate physical world - the medicinal regime produces the medical, mental and mentical (medicamental), leading to predicaments - mendicaments (medicamenticalities), the alchemical mends the invention of new chemical forces, pushing forward the engineering of productive forces, which circulate back into new forms of subjectivity - creating synthetic products - which co-exist as technology that can already be discovered in the natural body as a machine.the seemingly artificial pharmaco-technical weaponization of biology was all along an existing property of the physical world. the world itself is a macro-engineered version of itself (biology is a scaled imitiation of chemistry, which abides by the laws as a scaled imitation of original pre-atom physics - quarks and their interactions - the likely original proprietors of the four "laws" governing the universe), where quarks combine into atoms and then into cells to form ever-complex systems, which eventually get divorced from their prior contexts - the misunderstanding of ontological alienation can easily be fully patched up. the world comes to us pre-engineered, we dissolve it of all its shared contexts and let it wash over us, and we end up as medicinal subjects - as machines of ourselves, trying to navigate a world which we believe we are simultaneously creating, as someone like latour may argue.the medicamentical phenomenon emerges in order to suggestively and selectively order in between the ontologization of alchemical and clinical reality and their ever-stronger craft, and the way in which subjectivities attempt to constitute themselves, or fight against the way the terrain constitutes them, all whilst pharmacopornogaphy sells commodities in the form of their own subjectivities, hyperobjects proliferate their experience, and cultural styles link identities to lived experiences, but only of affect and characteristic and never of political reality. medicamenticalities surge and proliferate stylistical and aesthetic combinations which help the mental body recuperate against the abstracted body, and calm the excitation produced by anxious auto-rape. in garments against women, boyer shows us how the physical constitution of spaces is capital's way of creating infinite laboratories, conditions, where electirified grids serve as tortorous electrocutionary chambers, forms of latent cybernetic reaction-retraction processes, and stochkolm syndrome connects in a lyotardian manner to our inner drives.auto-rape glitches into the places capital proliferates through, as bodies are seen magnetically pulled towards one another in a spectacular show, where the body is mutilated, re-transformed in place, used as matter for building, quickly deconstructed, organs harvested, the subjectivity is quickly pulled together, the soul in a vat is re-downloaded, the body is out in space, bodies grind against eachother, once sexually, once in a vaccuum, once in an orgasmically triumphant call, once in a ritual disposition where animals use the sapien body as a way to do their push ups, once where bodies accidentally spawn into one another crushing eachother, the glitch is seen as a type of tragic curse in some places, an apocalyptic call. the avatar (a recombination of all possible affective zones into an alienation of character, political subject and social reality, where zones of characteristics themselves are seen as performative-intensive productions) and simultar (online avatar, incapable of representing a subjectivity but only an act) merge, and acts themselves are bodies, bodies no longer have a lived reality of their own. hyperphoria is not necessarily a subjective condition, its more like the lived reality of the state of the world itself, hyperphoria doesnt call or harken to a particular subject, it literally floats like spirit around the mountains and dwellings of the cities and constitutes the lived and retroactive energy of the de-egoified wholeness of the world.whats interesting though, is that instead of dysphoria, further processes of alienation between thought and body, constitutive and constructed parts, and a further saturization between the production and subjectification of machinic assemblages may instead lead us to hyperphoria - the loss of stable or essentially pre-determined ground. in this situation, you will really be able to tell the difference between soft essence and hard essence, something preciado himself doesn't consider when he urges prototranshumans to smear themselves in testo gel. he may argue it has already been achieved, where subjects are pre-produced by capital and auto-genocided by masturbatory potentiality. however, this displacement still isn't fully realized, since we still posess a variety of non fully gameafiable biocodes.if you think dysphoria is a product of pharmacopornography, producing vast amounts of mania and generally confused states, the higher states of reification that we haven't achieved yet may fully commodify our bodies, to the point that andrea's formulation of women will not only be extinct, but quite literally unappropriable (double-alienated back into novel originality, in tiqqun's formulation of the concept of the hipster) locked away forever in a dungeon of complete relativity, where womanhood in its purest form is only the highest and most confined, most territorialized curse of the creature, who, being able to choose any form he wants, but never cursed with a pre-defined form, will be unable to achieve libidinal excitation, masturbatory potential as a capacity or innate ability cast from exterior machines of propagation (due to complete relativity of characteristics), nor ultimately even the ability to feel satisfied with one's own identity.hyperphoria produces subjects that accelerate their own bodily composition and consistently swap out their avatars in an attempt to artificially synchronize their felt sense of self with their now fully commodificationally derived product of their subjectivity or their idea of fundamental characteristics that pertain to them. since all of these characteristics only serve to feed into a composed market-form, none of them feel experienced, so the fundamental embodiement turns them into a kind of "store of the body". this isn't just a normally reified subject without a tiqqunian form-of-life such as in our contemporary world, but a fundamentally and increasingly anxious disposition, that ends up literally creating living artifacts, and sometimes, although rarely, living artworks on the very body of the hyperphoriac.like our current economy of ever-accumulating commodities, artifical degrowth and stagnation may have to be inferred back to our subjectivities the way sanctions and regulations are superficially imposed, as future nazi-states imprison us into a type of symbolic drafting procedure where we are forced to slow down our shapeshifting in order to feel even a sense of a lost natural responsibility towards the world.integrated concepts

the rite of harm in the aesthetics of violence

𓌜1 the contemporary subject above all else is too audaciously afraid of rape, which is the ultimate western taboo because it threatens not only the falsely absolutized christian order of the unity of soul and body, but the primacy of the body as orchestrated above the spirit of the will of the soul rested within the mind - the quatriary agency - which is connected to a libidinal underlayer that selects the subject into its existence as the cool girl archetype, or the commodification of social forces that themselves compromise against the limits of taboo by sexually performing them in isolation. but yet, the problems that arise out of rape fall down the middle of ethics itself, when corporeality becomes an aesthetic experience, images come back to haunt the supposed ethical divisions, and in this way aesthetics attacks ethics.in the classic rethinking rape, cahill well understands that rape threatens the contemporary subject as vulnerable because it posists intersubjective embodiement as the very possibility of threatening the constituency of the supposed wholeness of the contemporary subject through rape's displacement of the supposed binaries between their supposed ultimate limits. an important example, rape questions the way in which we organize what it means to be autonomous versus dependant. she also attacks her feminist opponents for arguing on the one hand that consensual heterosex is established as an illusion against the sexualization of the lack of agency of the woman, as well as the opposite view, that the absence of consent privilidges rape as violent rather than sexual. cahill reasserts that rape as embodied is a distinctly sexual attack on subjectivity because of the way it transforms agency even if it doesnt touch personhood.personhood itself however is just a front for wagering the limits of agency, rather than considering the contract of consent, which requires a fixed conceptual parameter but an open embodied parameter, so that women's accounts always symbolically defend their vision of the event. this current organization is due to the way in which in contemporary times, subjectively violent experience itself is abstracted and therefore held liable and turned into an economic resource for regulation.𓌜2 cahill shows us how rape proves that the libidinal outrage layer collapses the distinctions when it questions how women dress or what they do for the economic model, women are on the market as a sexual commodity as far as they can wager the limits of their agency, but this agency itself as a product is precisely meta-economic in that its also a compromise, the result of an archetype of a woman that allows the operationalization of erotic benefit not only as power within affective economies but as overdefining of identity as subjective surplus.if agency means selecting consent, and dependency means a direction of the economy that allows women to commodify themselves to the point where they can choose sexual partners, but then simulate the limits of consent in fixed enviornments, then violating consent doesnt violate agency, but only the contract that organizes how symbolically harmful rape is.ethics posits itself above aestheticity by wagering the act above the contract but the experience of the act as an abstracted version of ethical discourses, which themselves always decide the aesthetic rather than arguing its limits. this hypocrisy becomes clear when you notice that throughout historical accounts, almost no tabboo has any form of fixed meaning, nor is there anything inherent to its level of harm, not due to actions not having definable aesthetic limits but to the sheer power of symbolic significance and the way it shapes nearly every judgement of outcome as always ethically decisive within an abstracted concept of law.𓌜3 the contemporary subject in the form of woman cannot today neither symbolically nor authentically be raped nor assaulted, only either in a more crude empirical sense, or in an absolute but nevertheless non-traumatic sense - the one that still makes rape the worst tabboo as a social reality and not just as a constructive make belief, but not one that can be encoded as somehow devoid of symbolic encoding or neutralized as a cosmically negative experience.
neither concept explains the corporeal realities of contemporary violence, which aesthetically present in various forms that cannot access the body of the woman. this very body is orchestrated to push a commodified self-image as something retroactive to rape instead of constituve of its reality, just to better paint exactly how culturally yet somehow organically imbedded the victim status of a raped woman is.the problem with this victim status isn't just that it is a position of power that audaciously evades its responsibilities the same way the character of women itself does, but it further precludes the attempt to investigate its own parameters. cultural investigators also fail to encode a genealogical discovery on top of victimhood as an ontological force, instead opting to either perform a reactionary spectacle as return credit, or to investigate social signalling as if its supposed to denormativize victimhood as an ontological totality.finally, on the concepts themselves, assault cannot possibly be a byproduct of eroticism, pure assault barely even exists, since its abstractive function rids it of the very proto-sexual energy that would define assault as libidinally valid. the rare case of genuine assault itself is almost never aesthetically worth it precisely because ethical domains in the excuse of what we call an "economy" encode the valid simulations that define when a tabboo action can reasonably be performed, but as such also symbolically grant the various relevant aesthetic preferences of the act, essentially ordering its total signification and as such the harm its perceived to cause - which usually correlates with the real valu eof harm.even worse with the category of rape, which is not only categorically abstracted in popular media as both the event of trauma and the ever-increasingly lenient post-traumatic dependencies and needs that supposedly arise out of it, but also as everything that shapes an intersubjective loss of agency which includes any auto-perceived form of harrassement, asssault or anything in between, only so long as this is secluded within a market of believability, which as a symbolic force has to at least partially subscribe to a more ontic view of the world, if only to then phenomenologically attempt to wager exactly how much leniency in tabboo others are allowed to express, which is a strictly stratified conclusion.this is because agency itself belongs not to the aesthetic categories of victim or perpetrator but to a auto-regulating market of wagers that describe the rite of harm by developing economic dependencies that work in real-time abstractive activites to regulate raw activity. women themselves are fully complicit in this endeavour, actively and discoursively deciding the limits of their very own supposed opression, even in cases of the supposed raw and transcendental experience of rape. rape itself is one of the key taboos that has never been fully abstracted precisely because of its socially auto-targeted domain, rape authentically risks various forces such as trafficking, kidnapping and interpersonal symbolic conflict to even get its foot of the ground.the subject is defined by his correlation with an economic self-formation, where the economy is the ritual structure that enables the concepts of circulation, trade and service to be intertwined with the concept of harm and its legislation. the economy itself is always seperate from the law, which is an older and more arcane structure. in paranoid finance, muniesa shows us how all currency in the form of money itself presents as speculative value, so that meta-speculation in the officialized ritualistic object of speculative finance can't exist, since speculating on a speculative form of value-creation which is already destabilized by a supposed counter-force cannot cause further probabilism but instead is simply the externalized form of that very same outward drive of prophetisizing value as inclusionary.

the andrej synkar glossary (first edition)

meta-speculation vs. manifested-value: there is no empirical direction of the world, abstractions dialectically get first-order weaponized by political agents, which under-values ideas, ideas re-emerge second-order as speculative machines which now act on value abstractly but dont generate it, generated value in the form of manifested empiricism in the third-order re-emerges as dominant which kills the value of speculation, then meta-speculation emerges as representing the second-order speculative machines and trying to predict them. ideas in capitalism dont "turn out" to have always been ontologically useless but are only currently under-generative. luckily, all forms of "stition" (super, hyper, under) prevent total collapse of the value of representation (see more in andrej synkar's the gamble of representation)capital: capitalism, only referred to as capital is an entity, an actual acting being or diety and not a noun, represented by moloch and not formlessness, but is formless in principle, although in speculative futures it emerges as an actual exact material and symbolic reality and not just an endless simulacrum loop, which actually belongs to the halo, which is not and cannot be a time period but is purely a function unlocked by modernity. capitalism is simply an economic order, one form of a larger political economy, that is only a historical amalgamation of practices that only incidentally sometimes intertwine with capital.capital-being: capital other than an agent is itself is a deterritorializing force with the primary function of a formless capture and suspension into what is known as the present state of things, which is permament from the inside looking out but not from the outside looking in, because modernity produces them as nostalgia-machines, attaches to their conceived aesthetics only after their extinction, and removes from this world so that it can reintegrate empty concepts from previosu worlds, it is a schizophrenic collectors-type process which is self-prophesizing and not somehow threatened by and against its own logic. capital is fully non contradictory. history as such (medievality, ancientism, enlightenment dont exist, theyre practices directly connected to this order epistemologically, but only affirmed by this one. for their own totalities, they are just exact versions of this order but less developed ones. history in this sense is linear and ever evolving, but not necessarily archeological, meaning signification is lost but somehow progress remains past even preservation itself.modernity: modernity then is a time period defined by recurrence, in that many modernities have existed.. the only difference between the modernity of the medieval ages and this one isnt the suspension of history but the arrogance of the 21st century version of modernity, which actually suspends itself. capital basically constructs new worlds, capital-being affirms them as emanated and envisioned, modernity then crosses and collapses them into a narrow frame. this narrowing has existed all throughout history and all of its modernities (ancient and pre-ancient world models also had modernity) the difference is that this one is so arrogant that it manages to re-encapsulate itself as non-totalizing by bringing in contradictory non-totality to efface itself. furthermore, totality itself is a negative and not a positive category, its categorized by collapse of functions, not elements. a world can be extremely conceptually or experientially rich (our version of modernity is the former against the latter) but still believe itself poor due to the way it treats its richness not whether it has it.world-exterior of capital: only the world-interior of capital currently exists - metaphysics as specially and conceptually uniquely derived from a political economy, characterized by lack of cosmology other than emerging internal speculation, speculative finance as replacing theological faith, money as symbol of worship, corporate owners as saints, but doesnt serve as a metaphor, it is a new era where religion doesnt transfer onto economy but economy triumphs over religion with its own logic, meaning the religion metaphor helps us understand the world-interior and not helps the world-inteiror be discovered as pseudo-religious. the future merging of art and politics thus gives birth to a world-exterior, where our current epistemic understanding of what art and politics are totally shifts and merges on ontological grounds, something which has largely not happened because epistemology progressed way faster than the make-up of the world. the world is currently going through a reset stage where it is fully taking on a beurocratic "tissue" of social ontology, but from this issue the new birth of a purely abstract world will come to be, where real abstractions wont just be social relations or processes but entire fundamentally exteriorizing objects. these objects unlike current literature will not be imitations, tricks, hell-spawns or illusions but will be fully operable world-states with their own logic.deification: reification into deious forms, when conditions are named they overlap, at some point they take on a simulacrous secondary character in their common view, their sense gets changed into a theological line, after which it is posited instead of the form. this involves media synchronization in a way that collapses all memory, experience and faith and then recodes them as general experiences in a false tertiary memory which cancels out but latches onto an artificial understanding of real (now impossible) primary experiences. those experiences are pushed further the more deification is worshipped, but usually by negative worship (rage-fuel, shitstorms, displacement as a virtual commodity with circulatory value that ends up overtaking the sense of the object)halology: post-alienation is a state where alienation isnt a problem at all, not a state where triple-tier alienation causes a lack of alienation - which is still suspended under alienative rhetoric. a condition pertaining to the halogram - the way alienation is a general condition of estrangement due to labour relations, halonation signifies the most general condition of the speculative future few centuries of art, which are primarily connotated with three intertwined concepts from modernity: the portal, which unlikehalo: the halo is the contemporary amalgamation of every opening so that it collapses as a concept and points outwards to speculative metaphysics - the world-interior of capital cultivates the alien as estranged but distant, meaning we emanate the world into conditions far from us through both interpretation and access. contact is framed as the alien reaching us first, and if we contact through access we are not accessing but becoming-alien. the medieval halo is three things: alien and distinct common substance self-evident or rather manifest - aka saints through a halo emenatae the spirit of another realm as a closed off yet present and influencing access-point kind of as if it showed up coincidentally upon them being divine enough so also a contagious stain but a desired one yet also not with otherworldly power but with transcendentally self-obvious power, the alien as a force breaching the world but through harmony rather than containmnet (divinity taking over the body), and finally a window into another realm (heaven).world: highest-order and lowest-order manifestation. a world is not a physical space, its an abstraction and a series of ontological developments primarily that constitute something higher than a domain but lower than ontology-as-fact. worlds are not usually metaphysical, they are just superphysical. the difference between chrisitanity and capitalism is small and constitutes a middle-ranged world due to the history of inaccessability present in its virtuality, but as such isnt what we call a highest-order world, just a higher order one. highest order worlds are inaccessible to pre-virtual ontologies, accessible only in limits to virtuality (in the deleuzian sense of infinite non-preemptable possibility) and fully inaccessible to technical craft aka prophecy, manifestation, cultivation or any of the sorts. they are however possible to develop, not necessarily historically or dialectically, since it is unclear if they spawn or if they are preordrained, but they mark limits. lower order worlds are event-place-space-room multi-conjuctions, that are like somewhere between domain and realm. if a domain is a rule-space and a realm is a world-space, the lower-order world can be somewhat generative but is usually a location with mixed yet banal properties (a room that spawns more equivalent not necessarily equal rooms, a whole planet with non-abstractable objects that serve as metaphors for already-present objects from other worlds, or a fantasy space that possesses certain ontological openings (usually that are similar in nature) but not others (see right below)hyperhalo (halo-mirror relation): the halo as theorized in its ideal form (in the world-exterior of capitalism not christianity) is at once a threshold (which is epistemic and not ontological other than sacred thresholds which if not invented are impossible-possible (contradictory) and if invented are regulated through self-imposed higher order metaphysics (epistemy creates metaphysicity as rule ,metaphysicity takes control until epistemy is actually lost and not just negated), gate (fog, way or dream), door (usually a halo is only a door if its an illusion), passage (usually only as metaphor, since travel as transport takes over the ontology of passage in contemporary modernity), bridge (direct access point with fake entrnace barrier but real as a form of basic deterrance against weakest intentions, bridges arent relational anymore though theyre empty except in rare cases), veil (basically useless metaphor for regulation. what matters is what justifies regulation and whats behind the interface not why or how the veil exists), mirror (most important one, contradiction of ontology due to epistemology rather than due to ontology, mirrors dont do anything but if a halo is a mirror thats the best possible sign (but very rare)), rift (which is always agressive either passively or actively (influence into genocide or war into dystopia) and never ambivalent due to portal-centrism), wormwhole (main form of transport, closure of bubble-metaphysics in favor of surface metaphysics, cars arent ontologically private so they arent bubbles so economico-spiritually that doesnt count), axis (mostly disabled under capital's influence over contmod (contemporary modernity). the limits of the hyperhalo present precisely the limits of the present ontology, not its transgression.ontological openings: passage-bridge-veil, door-gate-limen, mirror-worm-rift, axis-realm-domain are the four types of openings, they are connected by a certain logic - relational opening, selective opening,domain: a domain is a general name for any form of ontological opening that has its own "room-idea", but in more advanced terms a domain² is the particular inscription point of any opening-form presenting as a hyperhalo.primers: the future ontological building block of capital, a primer is both subject and object, in that the infrastructure of users in the stack are themselves artificial technical objects aka robot-humanoids built out of primers, which are technical components that serve as matter but are intrinsically very complicated machines, which also serve identically as the objects of the interacting world. primers are designed under the holistic philosophy of equivalent matter-forms because it is a matter-commodity rather than a simple piece of matter, so that its design philosophy isnt just mass produced, a form of social relation, a territory to manage rather than care for, and a statement of regulation rather than a body-surface to regulate, but furthermore and especially, primers are an attempt for cyclical ontology envisioned in real time, deleuze's collapse of superstructure-infrastructure, where primers are multiple components constantly shifting, like an advanced form of playdough.substrates: primers contain lower and higher substrates, the higher ones determine the artifical and synthesizing ontological force and cant be designed but occur, the lower substrates are also actual physical locations but engineered ones, where organic matter is fully simulated by technical proxy but remains organic, the organic-synthetic divide is surpassed materially and not just epistemologically, all components of the world co-exist and regulate eachother. components experience massive scaling and stretching, intricate and frail components are forced to be fields of protection, "protein-blocks" have a forced indiffusion function, "oil" components transform into matter, matter literally recycles back into energy, sensors, pannels, transistors and so on work as physical objects, transform into tables and chairs or whatever abstract representation of physical constraint, walls turn into openings, halos open and close dimensions, actual physical items that emerge as augmented or functionally commanded action-prompts by the self-thinking primer literally turn into symbols, visible real life symbol-forms, language is encrypted materially, thinking occurs through space, and so on. most of this is speculative, the real practical primer is historically limited. the first version simply involves a few distinct things: a fully organic-synthetic coalition of any form of matter at that historical point of distinction (since this distinction is arbitrary anyways), the ability for two distinct halo-forms to operate simultaneously or feed data into one another, a simple material transformability (turning a "rock-extension" into a "wood-extension") simple augmented thinking patterns (self-operating) and technical scripts that work in unison (a single operating space that emerges and is built out of its own machinachion that serves multiple functions "dishwashing, clothescleaning, floor sweeping" all within the same "room-box".potentiator: for aristotle prime matter is the thing that underlies all other things in the world - a transcendent and unreachable, completely indeterminate-pure potentiality, it was not created and cannot be destroyed. what the ontology of capitalism does with prime matter in the speculative future is that it wants to make this matter one that is a combination of every single type of substance in the world, it has every object-as-commodity, every experience, every unique texture in it, every predicate and relation, every being, everything, essentially it is the only thing that exists, it has every mechanization, every transformation, it literally transverses and overcomes technic and ontological and particular expeirence, it crashes and makes everything ontic. it also serves the archetype for transcendentality itself. the potentiator is the meta-speculative version of prime matter, the building schematic for primers, which are the actual executables of the same idea with far less practical intricacy than this theoretical final goal.matrixes: matrixes are primer components or rather schematics that, like neurons, literally argue back and fourth, wager and compromise between ontological forms. formats arent predecided, but are a literal battleground for primers to paretake in, actively ritualizing the function of instrumental ontology for non-instrumental means. primers have their own political wars, self-dividing based on desire and intention. primers are also used by other primers in the form of a superstructure-infrastructure re-divide, but with the obvious ironic backdrop of material equality.

capital space: capital also wants to equalize space so that literally all points or territories in the entire order of the world coincide with one another. the navigator of the world spans you throughout realms, but the spaces you inhabit are generalized and equalized, technically making your position equal the position of another within the order of the world itself, only being different in the point or coordinate of its exact location rather than the actual enviornment around which a subject orients or exists. every view, every relation, every possible way to interact with the world is made equalized, so that at any point in time, any and every agent has the same outlook, orientation, field of view, and is surrounded by the same commodial circumstances, with technical objects and their maps or navigations preceeding actual being-in-the-worldthe cosmology otherwise known as the three directions of capital (inspired by an anonymous online commentator): 1 - sacred timeline that ends with heat death (one, predetermined, written, monitored, governed, documented, legislated timeline) 2 - infinite branching accumulating to intense annihilation (infinities exceeding infinity, chaos, or, pure infinite speed of determinations) or.. 3 - "chaosmos", infinite branchings and multiversality, but limited by an inner, in-principle reciprocity, connecting all branches, all threading, into one tunnel of cosmos (order and chaos balanced, "crowned anarchy"). capitalism-as-alien-force is driving us to chaosmos, all the other fragmented parties want to create other occurances, science wants to create the scared timeline, and accelerationalism and also the fragemented situationists want to create infinite intense annihilation, not literally through will or intention but by ontological succession. what is happening is (with ai and information war) that politics is finally becoming metaphysics, and doesnt exist without ithalogram: actual halos theologically are also possible but are functionally different in some ways. base essence also fluctuates but since contmod reterritorializes its own cliche-form-takings of the past, they are essentially the same even if essentially different. halograms are technical assemblages that accompass various machine-forms (social relation, forms of exchange and circulation). the halogram is inscripted by way of a new form of grammatization that isnt a language but about lapses of experience encoded into momentary-actions in the form of immediate impulses that are replayed, this replaying itself literally phases ontologically into the cultivation of new domains that are accessed through either hyperhalos as epistemic totalities or as rare object-forms or halographs as techical mass produced objects.halograph: an advanced commodity in its basic form, its technical specifications are difficult to speculate. but we can assume its partially ontological fake, so that openings are difficult to concentrate into one domain-form. it likely uses similar opening-types so as to save up on ontological energy. advanced halographs with actual hyperhalo connection possibility are likely prommodities (see below). also the amount of possible worlds are usually pre-created under consumer uses of halographs. lower order worlds in and of themselves usually stop being domains or realms quickly and present as general simulations, which is the lowest and least generative mode of hyperreality.portal-halo relation: the medieval "portal" is a gateway or a divine door to a church so that new metaphysical locations arise on earth, but the contemporary portal is either an access-point to another world but not another realm (the newly portalled world is desanctified/profanized as part of this one but not accessible with anything other than portal-as-wormhole) or as aliens accessing our world in a contained manner so that it becomes a rift-portal, which is always agressive either passively or actively (influence into genocide or war into dystopia) and never ambivalent due to portal-centrism as pertains to modernity as a general centeredness and not as some basic hypocrisy.de-centeredness: the axis mundi generally isnt a part of a halo because connectedness now happens through the vaccuum of travel, time and wave rather than through a centeredness or coalition, so that emanation starts being a signal and not a source in contemporary halos. the halo itself also then turns into a weapon, it doesnt appear in so much as halographs are literally created and halograms begin to grammatize and stratify society in other ways also, in future speculative metaphysical politics. in art-politics circles, the halo is basically a moment in time where the modern aura (accident turned intent) works as a pseudo-portal to other worlds as self-emanation of divine forces, but usually economically divine (deified-reified) not theologically divine (deified-sacred).holo: holographs/holograms as already exist are simply abstracted further to be representations of the world that unlock aspects of openings through waves as an essential fundamental aspect of the world rather than of specific medicial practices. but ontologically, new waves and signals are literally produced and actually have an effect on the constitution of the world anyways, it isnt just an exploitation of existing marks in the world that produce copies that act as simulations and take on ontological form (also, when they do this which they havent yet, holo ghosts are a type of spirit marked by the will of the stratification inherent of wave-interjected representation as a base epistemic reality. the haunting of a hologhost happens through a dispersion of representation, essentially the metric itself becomes swollen not into false representation but into de-representative reality, which opens either its own realm or even rift depending on the outcome).modern aura: holograms or their encoding are also the modern version of aura, tied to halos in that they happen due to the grammatization of the halogram. essentially, holo's are tied to the concept of "aura-farming" where impulse -> action -> experience -> encoding -> replay -> grammatization of memory -> new impulse forms its own loop that gives birth to a new ontology. but representationally, the modern version of aura is already connected to the conceptual but also literal practice of streaming, which isnt just a media practice but a real-time re-encoding of values through a reinterpollation of what a moment is (a moment as a series of photographs - conceptual not literal ones - that actually create a temporary benjamian aura thats tied to subjects rather than objects. the holo is simply the ontologization of this fact, but aura farming as such is already a type of representational and logical holo, not only due to its function but in order to further distinguish it from benjamian aura.instanity/immediacy: an instagram is already happening through the platform-app-sovereign cloud by the same name, but immediacy is still ontologically fresh and subject to happenstance. moments themselves will get stretched, which dont give rise to mediation the way we understand it, but do complicate and evolve what happens in immediacy, basically what appears, what actions can be done, and what can be registered in any immediate moment. immediacy itself is accelerated to fit in with the tempo-demands of the world, so that intrinsically immediacy no longer serves mediacy on a base-by-base ratio but messes with the construction of mediation itself. as this happens, a binary and non-fluid, rigid, line-accentuated conflict happens between the two, where one always takes over a certain percentage of the totality of both and shifts the context of how they interact (more can be read in synkar's phenomenology of immediacy)portal: refer to haloproddity - private commodity, advanced and speculative, appearing in the far future. private ciruclation of a single extremely complex organism that self-duplicates and is "copied" around (what is copied is not just the object but all of its memories in the form of experiences as transfuzed into functional processes tied to the possession of the object. the primary passive act it corresponds to is worship, not use-valuehyperphoria: system-level condition in which bodies/acts/avatars detach from stable grounds under total technicization. its a future speculative ontology not currently in existence. hyperphoria produces subjects that accelerate their own bodily composition and consistently swap out their avatars in an attempt to artificially synchronize their felt sense of self with their now fully commodificationally derived product of their subjectivity or their idea of fundamental characteristics that pertain to them. since all of these characteristics only serve to feed into a composed market-form, none of them feel experienced, so the fundamental embodiement turns them into a kind of "store of the body". this isn't just a normally reified subject without a tiqqunian form-of-life such as in our contemporary world, but a fundamentally and increasingly anxious disposition, that ends up literally creating living artifacts, and sometimes, although rarely, living artworks on the very body of the hyperphoriac.thymosis: a ew psychological state where self-salience is replaced with world-salience due to hyperphoria. it also causes the death of alienation and its tiers (triple alienation basicallly causes non-alienation but it still leaves so called "fragments") whereas thymosis is basically the psychological destruction of the "bodily soul" instead of the "mind soul" as a result of the way the halo defines how hyperphoria occurs and which conditions it spawns. as a conbdition, thymosis doesnt present as a loss of reality but as a loss of the frame under which reality rests, basically a functionalization of phenomenology where total non-permamence of existence that nonethless is regulated by everchanging forms leads to hyperphoria - the dissolution of stable forms of safe, artifactification - under the guise of the hologram where new subjects are produced with lasting forms of novelty that nonetheless dont possess any aura - basically have no grounded or coded or obvious appearance or essence-level originality but nonetheless are suspended in a state where they are so alien to the current conditions of things that they "appear" as if they have aura but arent able to signify the unique constraints that make this possible. post-alienation (no stable ground not as a loss but a basic reality) de-framing and artifactification basically cause a total psychosis in certain states, but hyperphoria is usually light and ontology still has regulating mechanisms as mentioned, so thymosis requires a special condition, except its a physical and not a mental one (to speculate, it could be something like a situation where somebody experiences a halogrammatic delirium - basically they come into contact with too many halos too quickly)de-framing, artification & post-alienation - refer to thymosis and halologydepiction vs. beloging in art: art is primarily "depicted" as itself rather than something else. the death of the author becomes ontological rather than epistemic when art itself becomes social rather than aesthetic, existential or political (it goes in this order of evolution). in this stage, beloging in art is belonging fully as a part of art, but functionally, so that others conceive your subjecthood not as reified but as directly depictive. zoos, spectacles and performances are training grounds for this future manifestation, but it is clear that the subject-actor is alienated from actual arthood in their own presentation in these forms. then, depiction itself goes from depicting nature-from-the-outside to depicting self-nature-from-the-inside. future art looks "medical" in this sense, and porn (as seen in synkar's "pornologicalities") quite literally is an early simulation of this deeper process of ontological artification.cryptographic internality: capitalism's formlessness is due to the meritocracy of contemporary modernity, not due to capital as an entity. capital essentially hides its encryptions within encryptions, so that the moment you encrypt an object of value, you take in some of its value in a corrupted way that capital doesnt intend, but as a result lose most of the form but gain most of the intensity or value of said object all the same, hence the internality of encryption as crypto-cryption. cryptographs arent ontological, which is the only reason capital as such currently dominatesabstract labour: the world-exterior of capital and its speculative value will give birth to a new type of "politics of art" where symbolic value is in representing abstraction itself as marina vishmidt already shows, where basically abstract value is socially encoded through the lack of use value in something as speculative currency over circulation rather than over labour, where symbolic exchange happens as a circulation of messages that pertain to the shifting (extending/accelerating) of abstract value as such. this "artifies" political landscapes through media ecologiesmodern/quartiary memory: memory becomes ontological rather than mnemotechnical as depicted under other terms. another way to speak of it is quartiary retention, in that retention itself is re-articulated into living rather than dead memory but shifts the landscape under which memory lands making it inequivocable with the first three forms.hipster & celebrity: hologrammatic aura is used in the speculative future through halographs that swap the tiqqunian hipster (de-essentialized in soul but stable in-form alienated actor) and baudrillardian celebrity (essentialized soul but destabilized in-form alienated actor) the other way around. it becomes fashionable to lack an essence but to retain a stable appearance so as to prevent hyperphoria or even thymosis.

the world charged with spirits and the haunting of the bourgeoise imagination

power spirits╬1 power spirits first arise not as a generic domesticated apperance-representation beings in their literal perspectivehood that contain forces, but rather spirited powers that inhabit the domestic enviornment as an ontic regulatory framework, converting the form of shinto religious spirits into contemporaeity, far less mystically potent and far more politically manifested in the western hivemind. they gain power spirits at their original beginning dont haunt in the form of latent manifestations, but occur only through concentrations of backward-facing power that result in vague forces. the politically conscious imagination spawns them as aftereffects, contemporary artifacts of post-mystical phenomena. the politically active subject experiences base power spirits as empowering over the cultural core of the world, maintaing an ontological paradigm that holds up the entire power structure that energizes politics as a significatory parallax, containing in the multitude of its own complex the power to ignite the infrastructural real estate between mediated signification.╬2 representationality is manifested into power spirits through post-processed psychosomatic delusions or illusions, inhabiting the very internal form of manifestations without the charges that allow manifested activity, remaining in actuality as potently charged within biopolitical spheres as living influences. representionally powered spirits contain a fragmented and extremely difficult to contain or seperate core, they occur post-symbolically as an aspect of the real, the real charges them into enviornments, latently giving them unextractable essence. they propogate through pure ontic weight, spreading post-signifying symbolism and serving as fragmented forms of life-enhancers. the politically active subject experiences their power from within interior grounds through the ego, the selfhood becomes charged with their potentialities but never experiences them as alterity or split, they are purely positive in their manifestations and as such arent felt as haunting at all but rather serve to charge viral capacities within extrinsic forms.╬3 power spirits then arise as domesticated appearance-representation beings into non-correlated forms that no longer contain forces - imitatory emanations of pure spirit - simple iminations. where the forces were originally inhabited in their very essence, and as such inhabit the domestic enviornment as a non-regulative fully finalized representation of a fixed field, an imination becomes the vision of a power spirit that no longer contains either of its equations, in its post-represented reality it stands as what is called simply a territory. a territory in its original beginning doesnt act through infested activity - the dualistic opposition of manifestation, but rather acts as a pre-signifying symbolism, a caricature of self-completion. the forces scattered by the representational beings serve as further catalysts for future spirits, but only on account of the creative potency behind these, which is limited by their ontic weight - determined by pure manifestational coincidence. iminations have at their core a non spatial function, serving as nodes within a matrix of enspiritation that activates virtualities that posses fields of potentiality into eventhood.╬4 the arising forces are not correlated to the semantic-corporeal realm, but are mere metaphysical fragments ostricized in the realms in between the worlds of the living act and the line of flight, they appear at most as fragmented visions scattered across the mystical terrain of finalizing banal consistencies, and occur as memetic transfers across cultural landscapes that only retain their impressionistic rather than full nature. to exorcise their full power, spirits must be conceptually intuited through backwards analogic practices back into partaking in their full abstractive form by way of conceptual scaffolding - the philosophical sword. in this sense, pure theory is a practice of the constant re-discovery of internal forms themselves, the analytical re-accessation of the invisible full power of metaphysical underlining that was buried behind the concept, laced through the noumena into the door of post-procession. in this sense, correlationism serves to attach significance not into corporeal-experiental accessibility but rather to domains with inert and subtle qualities that re-emerge as semantic proponents into metaphysical accessability, spirithood becomes an enviornment of infestination or infestation, de-manifested intense hypersignification that serves to propagate metaphysical becoming into territories of potentialities, where immanence becomes a metaphor for transcendence╬5 power spirits secondly arise as a regulatory framework that shapes future representations into iminations, since iminations require that their imitatory capacity become pleromatized and illuminated through the drawing force of enspiritation. the power spirit empowers the imination, giving cause to the territory. in this instance, schizophrenia acts as a rare mediator where the political subject is able to egoistically attach itself to their actual signifcatory power, where power spirits serve as deconstructed forms, the way energy is a packed version of matter, as a packed version of transcendental weight. however, the schizophrenic condition itself is but an imination, a representational territory that is subjectively extracted from the abstracted fullness of the schizophrenic idea - the self-unfolding body, which is a metaphysical weight that also is enspirited in contemporaiety. the self-unfolding body has schizophrenic hyperproximity through latent destitution of intensities into weights, transforming spirited cores into containable realities.the family dog╬6 the family dog begins to be as the co-constructed innocent rape creature, meaning it makes use of all the capacities of rape power but can only be a lasting consequence of being burdened to be posessed by it rather than actually posessing any of that intrinsic power in its own ability.a distinction between rape and raped arises when the family dog is in consideration, where it begins as it were in the state of a rape-creature but itself not (never to be) raped symbolically, but only sometimes literally. it is auto-ignominous in so far as it descends from a creature down to a fowl being who can easily be made of mud-pieces - mud meaning the waste of the family - which is already an abstraction as such the family already is waste-product of its own passions. the fallen passions are waste, and the mud is the waste of trash. the family dog is made in the image of mud, in the idea of the ignoble of the ignoble, absolute ignominy.the family dog is not even a beast, hence its consensual territories are limited only to its bad-acting, not to its entire being as a property of its rights. the family dog is able to ascend to a higher plane when it is also constructed back into a creature, which can only happen through a marking of domestic propertarian products, a marking of masturbatory potential as a possible creative principle, and a slow seductive rape of its possesors, by way of stealing captive attention and territory metrics, making itself big, and engaging in a subtle incestual dynamic with its captors, incestual in the sense that its form of beastiality towards its captors is a type of domestic bargain, whereas its captors can only rape it from an external standpoint, and thus are not exactly raping it the way it can rape them, since its spirit is not made entirely in the vision of a being.╬7 beastiality as such is a condition where civil man has hilariously self-justified himself away from sex with other creatures by a metric he himself constructed in order to constitute civil man as a lasting rather than faint property, which was a comrpomise that removed total power away from civil man. civil man, upon being constructed, also rapes animals, but he does it in a much different (worse) way. in regards to the aim of if the family dog has any other goal but to be raped, it also gets to be made fun of and thought of as useless, but not in a prideful manner like cats, because domestic man, upon initiating with the specimen, makes fun of himself without feeling any of the blame, so gets to fully harness all that energy into a purebred creature - meaning the role of the family dog also is to be but especially to look useless.╬8 of course the young girl gets to have sex with the family dog, whilst avoiding getting raped by the outside rape monster. tiqqunian young girls, immediately upon exiting their protected vacinity (home surrounding territory - but home as an abject plane and not really as anything worthy of being called a home as such - which is the modern status of the home, empited of all significance and forced to have a representational-resembling significance) are protected by any rape-raped entities (entities that are both agressors and have had aggression printed onto them, that are now mutated and expecting to enter an exchange of any type of disturbance forces).r-r entities avoid young girls like the plague, because young girls are protected against rape by their latent halo. the halo signals de-rapefying essences which are carried immediately to the r-r monsters and to any potential future r-r monsters (stalking men and the like), but mostly by the walk of the young girl, which signals an intentionally forced non-chalance. the meta-protective status of the young girl is also protected by the "why rape me?", which, although not a bad question in and of itself, forgets that r-r monsters don't just rape, they are raped and thus transfer rape. the problem is of ligitimation and acceptance rituals, why do i get to be raped, or in other words, can i at least get a chance to try and escape the world of rape so that i can artifically co-construct an innocent world in some bubble away from the rape-territory, and avoid all ethical obligation? not all rape is equivalent to all responsibility, but it is equivalent to attentive capacity, meaning how much attention you're forced to pay to rape metrics vs. how many rape metrics you can ignore. a

the speculative cycle of cruelty

formsall world-forms are creatures that abide by the logic of evolutionary viability. creatures arent a special earthly accident, nor a cascade of violent chance, nor are they ever permitted to escape their form and transmute into higher beings. there is no calculatory or predictive or statistical measure for creaturism. creatures are world-forms, they are all allegories of one another to limited degrees, and fixed principles. also, creatures are just as well synthetic as they are literal, there is no difference between evolutionary instrumentality and synthetic instrumentality other than function and chance. therefore, all earthly creatures are most possible alien forms, the world doesnt perpetuate through virutal (infinitely possible) chance but through set margins.the only thing that changes between creatures is who is dominating, and domination itself is not opression or subjugation in every count, but a more general rule of superior influence of/to any capacity, where influence itself is also capacity to outrun other creatures, or to intensify their experience. evolution is also not blind nor justifiably powerful, but purely powerful, every act of evolutionary supremacy is uniquely evil and intense, and monkeys (humans) dont partake in any unique form of subjugation on a universal plane, only a relative plane of capacity. other planets only differ elementaly, the creatures are different, the leaderboards are shifting, the posessor of the current violent measure of influence is relative, but the forms stay in equillibrium as always, in a pereptuating cascade of various forms of cruelty that arise as an incapacity to ever correlate without friction, which itself only produces the terrain where tension becomes quantified.broilersbroilers are currently suffering en masse, however, the natural solution to this is to make them even dumber and less capable, given the fact we can't shut down the genocidal regimes that corporately perpetuate their suffering. the ethical paradox of broilers being born into an anaestheticized, (embryonically decognitified/decomplexified) state is not a question of diminishing the subjectivity of beings or a question of eugenics/erasure, much like the question of gene editing in general isnt, especially not of humans, given, yes it can be used as a political weapon but also more importantly its just a general technological problem due to platos shipwreck dilemma (introduction of new problems per new technological invention) especially problematic in dynamic fields.the de-essentialization of broilers will be a really popular political dilemma with proponents on each side and therefore varied results, but in reality the proponents against this action are essentializing not only more suffering but the false image of purity in representation of a paradigmatic and virtual fetus, useless in potency. we're not defending the rights for a being who has the capacity for complexity but is being bounded to suffer, only the right for complexities to be activated or existing when they correctly meet the criteria for them to be triggered.the ethical solution is obvious, so its not an ethical dilemma at all. rather its an ontologico-political dilemma, when the political sphere influences the essence of evolutionarily produced beings but backwards, it starts to create a political landscape over meaning production that could end in fully genetically unsustainable destruction given specific circumstances. not naturalized genes, but genes as in the possibility of a being to not be extinct, genes as in cultural modes of preservation. hypergenes you could say. the essential prototype is under danger. but not the question of the being. there is only one reason that corporations arent pushing even faster for the enshittification of broilers and thats because to conceptually defend them means to understand that they are a cosmological suffering cult and not a simple byproduct of commodity capitalism.lizardsthe lizard society doesnt just push economic-accumulative logic, it makes slow cycles extra slow, fast extra fast. but one cycle for them is longer, they may live 250 years, and see the ritual as four generations of one thousand years. so they implant nano bots or micro chips with their forms of abstraction. when its time to rest, insects slow down way too much, their slowness tortures them. whereas mammals and birds are forced to fly slightly above what rheyre comfortable with. they get hit by the enviornment, literally, they stumble and flip and fall, their punishment gets to be territorial inadequacy, irritating placements of things. lizard pods instead of houses, they crash into windows of pods.elephantsthe elephants, they dont want to be micro cruel, so theyre all the time macro cruel. their world is too harmonious, no deviation allowed. but their punishment is gentle, they just push you back down. theres no cruelty, just a staggering lack of it.tigerswhereas the tigers, the engine they run never can allow for civilization, but theres a never ending hunt that starts to take new shapes of mimicry, its like a circus.the music only ever increases, the chase only ever gets bolder. at some point, only species larve enough to be preyed on by the tigers, must have a forced sleep shut down mode survive. because it becomes too scary to sleep, so species die of insomnia before theyre even hunted.snailsthe snails design language, its soft calcium shell operates through the logic of suction and balance rather than traction or capture, it has no concept of mechanization, its organicity emerges as its ability to transfer its own excrament through its tissue, and liquid as a coil for movement, where its very activity coincides with an ability to crush it. snails love getting crushed, because they are built to be walking traps for beings with crushability potential. a snail is aesthetico-morphologically designed to capture your foot in a quite literal sense, to be a pure metaphor for organic evisceration of complex tissue. this does not mean that crushing snails is an act that should occur, but one that does occur, and this very difference is the unprincipial nature by which the snail actually validates its existence and redeems its reward through the circuts of the world.the snail only exists in the form it does precisely because of the tension of crushability, crushability allows it the function of coexistence with larger forces beyond its capacity. the evolutionary intelligence of snails actually subsumes crushability through its passivity in the face of crushness as an ontological reality, and not something to contingently reconsider at any point in the sense of jainism. in that sense its also a sacrifical agent because trampling itself is an affective sensomotoric connection with a snails energy, the meta-ontic equivalent of blasting open a box, it signifies latent utility. however, the snail is also angry at you for your existence, since the monkeys natural state doesnt work through the logic of snailhood, yet makes use of its resources. the monkey inside of it posesses a type of proto-snail that activates its tendencies, the living snail is the one being crushed not just due to the inactivated speculative skeleton that allows navigation, but skeleticity as a fact is only a transport vechile, a metaphor for greater snailhood. in that sense, the world of "water intelligence" is directly parallel to snail life, and the trampling of snails itself is reminiscent of the way in which territory works against stickiness in their essences as forces.monkeysbut the humans? they are made to prey, they are only accidental predators. theyre witty, hiding in the trees, but too arrogant to accept that fate. so once they have the ability to dominate nature, what do they do? they do the things that are least like their nature. because thats the only way they can cope with the position of being able to witness the world but not relate to it. some human-conscious hypothetical animals, like the octopus, love to witness and dont mind being the only conscious animals. thats cause they didnt develop the ability the ability to witness to escape. they hate it when another animal can work with enviornments as well as them, metamorphise, transform, basically have that quirky charisma. as long as theres boring animals everywhere, they feel great, they dont mind witnessing an unconscious world.but humans dont like that, so they systemically build and kill it in torture boxes all over and over again. thats the only way they can make sense of the world. because they built to witness so that they could survive, so that what they witness is greater than them. and when it didnt become so, the arrogance was the only prevailing factor left. the thing about this though, it means that humans can only ever auto cannibalize themselves. they cant really make sense of difference. every animal that they auto-torture looks more and more like them. thats kind of how you know why they do this. otherwise known as standing-monkeys. homo is not something we should even allow to call ourselves. the only way these things will understand their degeneracy is back through monkeyhood.well, its only a reversal for their warped view. all fine. no, i think the standing monkey isnt the exception, its just another law of cruelty. why do i want to not exceptionalize it? well precisely because i need to make it okay, to make it temporary, or i cant live with this fact. you dont know how it is to be one of these things that has done this. it ruins me, my possibility. it makes every shared space im in feel wretched. how could it not? this isnt a mistake we can just take back. thats why the lizard also enacts cruelty. you think my desceiption of it isnt equally alienating for the lizard? it wants to turn everything into a lizard. it has a similar problem, except humans want to turn themselves away into everything else (away as in kill, to kill everything that is "[turned into]" them, without killing themselves directly) thats how that works out. and why are mushrooms non cruel? we need something to show non cruelty, or else we'll stop believing we can stop this. not that we ever could, because once you start something so bad, you dont get to enjoy the ethics of having stopped it afterwards.mushroomsand then theres the mushrooms. they arent cruel at all, they help equalize everything. if something ever gets too large or dominating, they spring up from the ground and remove it. yes, they predate, but they keep the balance. almost a little too well. nobody complains.

content warningthe following work constitutes a study of abstraction and is in no way related to my views, beliefs, actions nor recommendations,guns𖦏1 first, conflict theory in the form of marxism demanded it be the case there is an external threat in cybernetics, that the subject is split and the power of ideology to cause genocide is the cause of the beurocratic apparatus of empire. once the french especially foucault and then through habermas finally found out about internalized microfascism, conflict theory by the likes of arendt demanded that even if there is no external threat anymore, that its roots are clearly external to the agent of history, through thinkers like deleuze, where there is an ontological decouplement of ethical primacy. this same agent of history, the one we call a liberal but really every single civilian is by exact measure a populist, by extension a moralist, by back-extension a liberal, and sometimes forward-extension a fascist, communist or mysticist depending on what type of ideological candy he feels like drugging with. this same agent is the one that is allowed to consider urban decay, libidinal economies and deterritorializing forces as apparatuses of evil, whilst still preserving ideas of both egalitarian and contradictory hope.this same narcassistic agent is the perpetuator of systemic violence, the one who has nothing to do with it because he is detached from its immediacy and travelling down the rope of hegelian transcendent finalizational procedures, and the one who is allowed to be forgiven for aiding in all forms of genocide, including self-genocide later by an all merciful higher diety, the god of economy, who will put all the crimes of history behind us the moment we come to terms with the products of our reckoning through museumificatory sympathy. genocide itself is not terrifying, not anymore than every day life in urban civil society. it is precisely harmful because it's a slow burning spectacle of anxiety that mimics urban decay from the other-side, it shows the parts that every civilian ends with from the front, and the parts that everyone starts with (large-scale traumas that cleanse the subject at its core) at the very end of the process, by vanquishing the subject through termination. genocide is only the outward form of the same ultra-machinic process of capture and destruction underlining civil totality.𖦏2 after the clean up of the great orgy, as the curve of history folds back into itself, not into contradiction but into banality and arbitrary desaturation, the deconstruction of all hitertho states require a logical elaboration, the empty ballroom of political economy now demands answers, because it is the same system of genocide and abstraction that caused capital to perpetuate, and is the same one that operates by grand cleansings rather than subtle forgiveness. as it stares into the logic of its inner self, it demands sacrifice, and now the agent of history has to answer for who did the crimes of humanity. the agent of history has to preserve humanity so that the civil economy survives, because civil economy is the only remaining proof of grand ancient europe, the only enlightened and reasonable society in all of history, so much so that it invented history. the agent of history will naturally have to throw himself under the bus over the idea of the human for just a little longer. and what will happen to the agent of history?𖦏3 he will realize that there is only one real threat and one real cause of genocide - every single post-office worker feeding the bismarckian german state, every single impoverished family "simply trying to survive", the innocent image of childbirth, every single pseudophilosopher writing edgy tractats about it, every single homeless person who dares to not knock on your door to murder you for structurally ignoring him, he is at fault too, for not going far enough, for not demanding you cease the built up ontological momentum in the form of a charge of motion, civil motion. every single meat-purchasing, cinema-going, jewish-money laundering, indie music-making, feminine sexuality enjoying, class consciouss advocating, fat american vermin-pig-civilian of the world with an incomprehensibly dull and oversatured need for a history and a sense of meaning, following the directions of a pseudobourgeoise cultural lineage for one more little speck of meaning, just another meme that describes commodification and alienation a little bit better, one more reference and we're done with today, we can go onto the next day, it's about how long you can feel the dissatisfaction before existential fatigue finally shoots you down for the night.𖦏4 communication itself has been overburdened by neurotypical wreck and trash that has entirely destructuralized living conditions themselves, the infinite performance of the consumer world and the entire social landscape that precedes it is secretly begging to be sent away into hell itself, just to get a taste of its own creation. civil-urban society and its megalith, the ultra-machine have made a caricature of hell itself, have made mythological depictions of hell seem leisurely, have made little chambers of tortorous dullness in every single window, on every location, near every park, behind every curtain, behind every person, behind every thing, great towering auschwitzian towers, chambers of torture and death, cafos, military simulation programmes, large hypercultural containtment facilities, containers full of torture which are not meant to encode or process any form of abstracted social labour or symbolic exchange manual, but boxes full of ethical impoverishment, full of the generic, full of orthodoxy, full of uselessly imprinted meaning. the contradiction of civil society is that it wants everything to contain directions because it suffers and thirsts for even an inch more meaning, yet panics whenever those directions turn against society to swallow it without a second thought - as meaningless imprints of directions do when they are activated to such a degree and capacity.it is not the lack of a sense of meaning that is the problem, it is the overproduction of meaning, baudrillardian realness, of campaigns, programmes and testimonies, of betterments, the statistical bettering of the world and its infrastructure and the entire process that sustains it - that is who is at fault. not the beurocrat behind the button, not the fascist at the gates in front of the public, not the evil nature with its tiger-tooth clutches and sharp miserabilia, not the inevitable sad and miserable death that awaits us, not the screaming animals and the crashing stars and the "inhospitable" universe, but the agent of history who drives the vechiles of life forward and is burdened by his own creations, the manufacturing of the innocent man and the entire contradictory apparatus that rests behind him, the core of creative and artistic subjectivity itself, heralded by every single known and unknown philosopher as the medicine to an inhospitable world - no, that itself is precisely the problem, the myth of human agency, the sound of the gun, is the only burden and only successsful creation of the urban civilian.ultramachine𖦏5 large scale economic and political structures lead to the affective collapse that underlines modernity and all the struggles within it. everything outside of the reach of the body is an abstracted form. the wish to extend oneself beyond these parameters is an attempt to seize things we have no relation to, it is a type of religious ceremony, it has no sustainable corporeality. the perfect subject living in an abstracted world himself must be a baudrillardian schizophrenic, one that is over-proximate to everything without limit, simply a surveyor or monitor of political economy.if the subject is in a state of deterritorialization, the only way to actually re-introduce oneself as a subject is precisely to avoid the mechanism of capture and its underlying logic by suspending all desire. the city itself is a marked territory under which the agent of history is caught by the crutches of capital. the city itself is a total denouncement of all drives that dont belong to the functionalized and instrumentalized logic of the city and its operations. the agent of history thus cannot rebel against modernity by the use of the post office, or by the use of social media, or fragmented and abstracted forms of the same desires. the only way an agent of history can persist against the mechanism of capture is to climb the ivory tower - which includes total suspension of logics, but which is nothing other than the ultimate mirror of all the desires capital has collected, its the equivalent of running in the direction of somebody chasing you so as to avoid the feeling of getting captured.𖦏6 material goods are no longer condensed social relations, nor are they reproductions of human value in the form of objects. possessing goods nowadays has very little to do with forms of symbolic exchange, nor with networks of sustained human relations, nor the platforms that sustain these networks. rather, mother-capital provides all goods pre-emptively, it selects, manufactures, produces and sends through its own goods, and it does this by the use of civil society, which is its happy little crutch. the expandable population of chataletian pigs that are living under the control of the system feel vindicated to be used and humiliated by the capture mechanism because they were raised under its logic and see it as their savior from every single alternate mode of existing.𖦏7 the perpetuation of civil society is not because urban man has a lyotardian masochistic drive to watch arcane pre-modern ideology crumble under his feet in a liberatory march, but rather because the agent of history requires that the world grant something to him. it's not a question of luxury, of hedony, of choice, or of repression, but simply of the idea of grantation, of the grant, of the requirement or possibility of requirement or requirement for possibility, of the idea of a direction. the subject of history requires only one thing, and that is for something to be there to entertain the existential condition in a kierkegaardian sense. even asceticism is captured by the rebellious logic, asceticism is not being posited as outside of the capture of the subject of history, it is another choice among many others, the crippling nature of the ultra-machine (assembladge) has no escape, it can only be traced.however, ontologically, plenty of things exist outside of capital. it is not a question of where they are, or how they are, but of how we can get to them when we are so densely stuck, so incomprehensibly stuck in something so thick that we have no way to go in any direction. capture itself as a term doesn't capture the level of lethality, this is more like total concession. we are stuck in the concessor, a deep syrup, the child of capital, the concessive stew of the world, which takes itself for granted, it does not work by the logic of release or escape, it has no external vents, and its suffocation is quite literal, demanding as an apriori functional feature of its epistemic ontology. the concessor is auto-demanding so that capture itself becomes a mythology, it is even a question of whether capture was even a thing to begin with.𖦏8 it is not a question of resisting what we call nature, a domain of alternative conditioning outside of intentional design, but that every form of logic that isnt sustained by the ultra-machine is denied proliferation. the narrative that the agent of history has made up is that capital sustains and artificially grows paranoia against alternative logics of all kinds, and then sustains the overton window of them by reterritorializing the logic of rebellion as other theorists have captured. however, these so-called alternative modes of rebellion that have been deconstructed as a part of capital itself were never a part of the contradiction, not even initially. all logic that appears as alternative logic is well within bounds, even the idea itself. this isnt because of the power of capital, or because of higher alien forces, its because the subject of history demands a grant to extend the narrative of history. anthropologists don't know this, but man has passed through many narratives before this one, ancient and arcane indigenous groups, christians and enlighteners, moderns and civilians, technojunkies and the bourgeoise, instagrammers and the car dealership, we have never been free of the grant.𖦏9 history has not been suspended, nor deconstructed, history in its entirely arbitrary form is itself the creation of a self-mutilating agent. there has never been a better or worse world, nor have abstractions truly destroyed us as lefebvre would want. commodities are merely ultra-trash - trash comes in degrees, the first degree, the second and third. the first degree of trash is the alternative logic, meaning waste itself is not an expenditure by the subject under capital, nor is it somehow greater than natural waste, which itself doesnt exist beyond the declarations of the naturalist. trash itself is the arbitrary form of logic within a system, which is itself operationalized and subsumed. trash is signified and overcoded, this is the first degree. the second degree is the commodity, which is not a map of social relations which dont even exist under contemporary society, but is instead a form of extended trash. basically, the purchase of the commodity exists as a surplus activity with no clear goal, it has no operational context.ideology then imprints context (desire being shifted and reterritorialized into the purchase over some other more arcane desires like human contact, need, or desirability), and sends the trash through the ultra-machinic apparatus, which the agent of history turns into a narrative about subjective implication. you might wonder then, how and why was the commodity "created"? the commodity is not a sign of consumption, nor a form of technology corresponding to an era that has a dilemma regarding desire and surplus, instead, the commodity is simply an artifact, a creation that was always supposed to be here, it is not an accumulation of state and corporate logics, it could have easily occured during any other period of the world, knights could have been drinking coke, the egyptians could have

𓍯1 contemporary society is characterized primarily by machinically induced double-layered social contradiction. essentially, all forms of appearance are translated to opposing forms of recognition simultaneously, whilst also being subsumed by regulating bodies that make no use of them. the present subject is both involved and invoked by the social configuration, forced to abide by its eternalizing and universal principles such as inhibition of social taboo, expected regulations inherent to the game, expectations that outward critique will automatically switch to inward-facing interpretations, and mostly importantly, that contradictions themselves become associated only as movements in the natural order of social oscillations rather than ethical totalities. oscillations serve to facilitate a psychological segmenting where synkarian or b-chulian avatars have to constantly choose between repression and awareness of violent regulatory frameworks in the dominant economy of affects that regularly seperates micro and macroworld.𓍯2 public and private spheres themselves cease to appear naturally when the segmentation of spaces reaches that critical point where avatars are carriers of social convention through enforced oscillation rather than carriers of fundamental notions. contradiction isnt just sustained but entirely re-performed depending on the enviornment by the most average of civilians, almost regardless of role. however, its seemingly impossible to deliver substantial critique, as contradictions themselves become flattened out by a type of conceptual swamping that society overrides identities and archetypes through, memeifying and constantly switching between reciprocating and inventing social hierarchies. this type of constructive flux that almost all philosophical priests today in the continental tradition glorify is not a testament of anthropic deleuzian virtuality or power, but rather a total degradation of the agent who is reduced to a post-reified state as only an assortment of collective traits that are oscillating, contextually nullified, and entirely re-adjustable by any social schema that chooses to re-evaluate libidinal intensities.𓍯3 an even worse thing that memes do is de-ontologize conflict, by genericizing lived experience and hystericizing all of its by products, and relevantizing their shared understanding, they dont actually transform nor evolve social perception but rather drown its lived weight, collapse it and empty it of significance by re-positing it as a ghost, and in that sense, the semiotic weight itself becomes a modulated rather than expressed significance, meta-cognitivity is weaponized as a shared brain that the masses use to transpose their own granted possibility on top of their virtual or total possibility, and as such they subsume all difference under a pre-selected affective organizational social scheme, de-selecting away from mediatory complexes. as such, there is no way to actually posit social movement as a possible category, stagnation is actually a feature of oscillation rather than entropy in this instance, and thats what allows for a not a stratification but a demarcation, an archetypal cleansing of categorical weight, where categories themselves turn to re-emerging flux, whereas complex repetitions turn into stratified social walls of sorts, preventing transformative generation.𓍯4 most contemporary theory treats contradiction as either an unresolved antagonism (zizek’s parallax gap) or a structural byproduct of capitalist realism (fisher), however contradiction itself is subsumed by the reified subject, contradiction is a part of the performative infrastructure that fuels reificatory currents, that where in contemporary society, agency itself becomes a regulatory affect under influence from reificatory regimes, where liberation isnt about agents actually self-liberating by ending reification, but auto-reifying agents waging the conditions of their own estrangement by positing self-expounding alienating models that they can they speculate and roleplay on the conditions for, and as such not actually engaging in some butlerian social performance but more cruically, allowing for contradiction itself to be subsumed by its own evil double.han’s psychopolitics or berardi’s cognitariat simply dont actually pose an accurate model for contemporary reification because the subject itself is a semiotic protocol that reinstates its reification rather than a ground for the fight against subsumption. contradiction isnt a macro event nor a micro event but a line of flight that crosses past social infrastructure and creates conditions for the very movement of social fields themselves, contradiction is primarily about orientation, which is why oscillation is used as a naturalistic force that grounds behaviors not into fixed prototypes but into fully delvable prototypes, human furniture, interdisciplinarity taken to an ontic degree, encompassing entire virtual fields of lived existence, total holisitc modulation that preserves contradiction as a secondary degree of subsumptive force rather than as a primary degree or driver of social transformative change.𓍯5 trivial social contradictions are regularly assesed by fisher's grey vampires and synkarian simulars as apparent contradictions of intent, however, they are statistical and demographically expected regulatory frameworks that don't cross over into ideology precisely because there is a fundamental passive layer inserted inbetween these systems by a constant and overwhelming status quo majority that self-imposes regulatory frameworks as an ontological wall against politics as a theoretical totality of potential. zizek speaks about this plenty of times, but his most important contribution is to the semiotics of ideological entrapment, specifically where social environments precisely serve as roleplay and spectacle from the inside rather than the outside, whereas they serve as "alternate but secondary and politically irrelevant" realities from the outside-looking-in, and where semantically and communciatively they provoke a hyper-realist response if they attempt to insert ontological primacy, which hints at a deeper ideologicall wall underneath the onto-political semiotic constallation.the average leftist activist is a key function in the exocapitalist order, who is primarily involved as a passive agent in various affairs, from beurocratic offices that suddenly serve functional purposes rather than reflect the tendencies of neoliberal society, to supermarket spending in the form of at best still a stingy consumer, to medical institutions as a very willing and organized subject that suddenly values social democracy if it means they get to save their body, passing by traffic as a pedestrian who almost certainly isnt actively involved in pipe bombing at that very moment, passing by educational institutions as a so-called student, having possibly hurt an ex-partner, killed a larger animal, maybe possibly being a streamer with a large mansion, or in a polycule whilst also coming from a bourgeoise family that owns a metal mining company, or having studied in a private university and so on. these contradictions feel trivial precisely because they are functionally segmented as ideologically compatible and characteristically auto-sterilized enviornments that accept social metabolism as a base accompaniement, essentially self-forming into dead and politically trivial enviornments, which is why political critique and empirical practices both struggle to actually attach a proper conceptual problem to them other than triviality and structural antagonism.abstraction𓍯6 on the level of abstractive potential, the assertion of bankers as an abstraction being equivalent to an antagonistic social class already is subsumed into performing the same operational level of hostility with the equation of this construct being assumed as relegated to the political reality of the bankers themselves. if its anecdotally verifiable that a large majority of these bankers are jewish then the label is no longer just an abstraction but a constructed and unfortunately impactful social reality equally proportionate to the banker himself. if you imagine a banker, at this point in time you would have to abstract the jewishness away from him in order to feel that you're remaining neutral about it in your mind. the mercantile ideology at some point gets connotated to the essence because of the political reality. it would be far less likely that an essentializing freak philosopher would run around doing this if it wasnt either a reflection of the times or some type of propaganda apparatus, and even if they were, it would be too heterodox to even matter or be impactful to anybody else.nobody gets to decide which side is the hostile one, in ideology everyone is equally charged as guilty by the consequential causal links reproduced in the chain reactions of the social assemblage. the violence tied to the bigotry itself could be humorous primarily because it points to social realities, not just because of the humorous connotation of invoking genealogical social parodies to begin with. sociological analysis from a justice-oriented point of view has shifted the hostile nature of political conflict by removing one degree of the causal chain. bystanding, non-banking, maybe even anti-capitalist jewish people dont get co-opted into the history of the jewish race and its banking practices by sheer accident, theyre also assumably charged with the political reality of being a higher precedent social role capable of actually entering that role, which is why it cant be said that the genealogical or semiotic violence is fully unjustified.𓍯7 philosophy gets to do what it wants even if there are moral consequences, because abstract categories themselves re-shape the existing lived weight of non-archetypal lived experiences of realities - the abstractions feeding back into experiental weight. it isnt the case that there are no jewish bankers, nor that there are no speculative indian philosophers, but theres a reason why these categories exist, and it shouldnt solely be the responsibility of the philosopher to cease all forms of rhetoric or polemic just because some beurocratic machine is going to genocide someone, which, it is going to find a way to do and justify that either way for as long as these machines are in place, which is almost certainly primarily the fault of europe. the philosopher's conceptual scaffolding itself is a cause, the form of the indirect violence that perpetuates signifiers directly shapes not just abstractions but their perceived weight, but at the same time, the socially productive machine often times oscillates cultural metaphors into stagnatory phases before even a single mediated thought can arise about them, and in this case all mediation does is actually kill the immediate fetal offspring of cultural acceleration.
