2024-01-16 21:41:41 +0000 UTCThe context this brings to Beaudrillard really elucidated a lot of terms I saw in his writing but didn't quite place yet, no small feat from where i'm sitting great work

2023-08-25 03:52:12 +0000 UTCFirst of all, congrats Daddy Pills! And thanks for another banger post, you're consistently a breath of fresh air when compared to other left/theory channels who still doggedly insist on sticking to the same old humanist notions of revolution and other assorted fantasies, rather than confronting the harsh truths of why the left is no closer to being a threat to capital than it's been in the bast 50+ years. You mentioned the pettiness of the Greek gods which is contrasted with the monotheistic Christian God, but in the Old Testament especially, God is preoccupied with many trivialities, and tends to punish people harshly for the smallest things, like turning Lot's wife into a pillar of salt for looking back at the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. It could be argued that when you consider the preoccupation any monotheistic god has with one particular species on one particular planet considering they created the entire universe that we have never really left the realm of pettiness when it comes to supreme beings in general. Another way we've never been modern? Also regarding the subject being conscious and agentic, wouldn't Lacan's subject be precisely the opposite of this, that the subject's core is in their unconscious, unknowable Real lack, which causes them to act in irrational and unexplainable ways? That the subject is constituted at least partially by unconscious objects in their psyche, further blurring or dissolving the line between subject and object?

2023-08-23 10:45:29 +0000 UTCConsciousness exists in points of networked systems, plastic immortalities, metamorphoses without specificity. Pre and post mechanisation. Traumatic, but justifying active self erasure with transcendence has identical excess to addiction, intoxication to escape symptoms of intoxication, disembodiment to escape symptoms of disembodiment

2023-08-20 11:49:10 +0000 UTCQuite a wrap-up. Very compelling. Still, hope you and JB are completely deluded -- the cure here is something I don't think many have taken time and invested the energy to grasp. Such an image.

2023-08-19 21:26:43 +0000 UTCGotta say I am a longtime pills fan but not too well off so just recently subbed like 2 weeks ago. Can’t even describe how lucky I feel to have found this goldmine. The last few books I had read before subbing were transparency of evil, impossible exchange, fatal strategies, and the conspiracy of art

2023-08-19 20:41:22 +0000 UTC1. Congratulations! 2. Sad to hear the end of this series.... hoping for more Baudrillard...or Stiegler, but nonetheless excited for more!

2023-08-19 16:51:21 +0000 UTCCongrats Pills. This episode was great! I love how the further we go the more we’re going back to everything on the same level (image, man, animal, machine, object). Also considering Baudrillard as a strong nietzschesn the death of god means there is no more a being on top.
