If you don't grasp Spinoza's parallelism, of course his concept of intuition will appear to be nothing but a mysticism, a pre-Kantian metaphysics that should be relegated to the dustbin of the history of philosophy.

Continental philosophy and pragmatism are ten times more engaged with the realities of life and how we experience the world than analytic philosophy.

The Veil is a representational device: it represents justice as something deducible from an ideal, symmetrical situation of ignorance.
What Florence and other clowns miss is that the "agents behind the veil" are actually thinly disguised liberal subjects.

Please read Rawls. The Veil of Ignorance is an ILLUSTRATION meant to reflect the fact that justice has to be reasoned about in abstraction from your particular conditions. It’s not a metaphysical thesis about persons being separable from their circumstances or whatever.

They are assumed to be rational, risk averse, mutually disinterested choosers.
This is the bourgeois subject presented as though it were ahistorical, universal, rational.

that jackass's claim that essentially waves off the political legitimacy of a child's libidinal investments. i mean, are you serious? from that position, one can easily imagine a whole battery of atrocious derivative claims being endorsed about other subordinate positions...

IVF in this damned country is too expensive, and the result of all $30k, nearly 2 years of efforts, and all this emotional investment is a non-viable pregnancy that must be terminated?
I'm going to crash the fuck out today.

This dude doesn't understand that Marx did not commit himself to a singular, positive view of what communism is because Marx's methodology was critical-negative and did not seek to design society from above.
"some vague slogans", really?

What's weird is that it's really not even clear what Marx's model of socialism would look like beyond some vague slogans. I guess that's why it's so easy for Marxism to come to designate any form of socialism.

Music samples deterritorialize sound.
The elevator chimes “going down” to indicate its directionality, but is appropriated by a drum and bass band to indicate nothing but intensity ... stripped of function, reinserted as pure rhythm.

Meaning collapses into function; function collapses into intensity. We don't know yet what a sound can do, hence why music is never finished evolving.

This is why I love Death Grips -- their ability to integrate mundane sounds into novel experiences.

"Everything is a multiplicity in so far as it incarnates an idea."
"The one and the many are concepts of the understanding which make up the overly loose mesh of a distorted dialectic which proceeds by opposition".

Finding out that Death Grip's drummer Zach Hill actually made an album with The Mars Volta boys in 2009 is blowing my mind.

Esse vídeo literalmente comprova Deleuze
Enquanto Platão tinha uma visão negativa acerca do simulacro, que seria uma forma diminuída de realidades superiores, Deleuze tinha uma visão positiva, porque o simulacro é o meio pelo qual a diferença é produzida e novas coisas surgem. Em Deleuze, não há modelo original e nem forma diminuída, apenas diferença. A cópia da cópia da cópia da cópia, sem início e sem fim, é o que torna a criação possível. A diferença é uma força criativa.

It seems to me that Hegel misses the point when he refers to Spinoza's substance as "undifferentiated unity", which makes finite things seem like passive expressions rather than self-developing.
So for Hegel, natura naturans = abstract unity and natura naturata = ...

...derivative multiplicity, which importantly for him misses the moment of dialectical movement that produces difference internally.
But Spinoza's substance is expressive, not rigid. Modes are not "less real", they're degrees of power. Expression is the real, vital, and...
