Thanks to @JasperFeyaerts & @kstrw for having me present at the Too Mad to be True conference at @Guislainmuseum. It was an enormous privilege to speak to an attentive audience about two of my greatest passions: madness & cinema. #TMTBT #toomadtobetrue

Headed to Belgium to attend the Too Mad to Be True conference in Ghent; and travel to Geel, home of the traditional resting place of St. Dymphna, patron saint of mental illness, and home to the world’s oldest community mental health nursing project (approx. 800 years old).

Uf, ya mismo pirateando. También les recomiendo mucho ese libro de Kusters, se propone hacer fenomenología de la locura (y la llama así por razones que él mismo explica). Sabe de lo que habla porque tuvo 2 brotes psicóticos separados por años.

La tesis de @kstrw
-Desde hace unos años estudio y releo Inferno de Strindberg como una obra grandiosa creada en momentos muy agudos de manía y psicosis.
-Kusters dice que en aquellos estados se alcanzan iluminaciones equivalentes a las de grandes filósofos.

i believe that Manic episodes can genuinely lead to greatness sometimes

He treats it as an event that reveals the fragility of the world-frame. The ground cracks, the meanings slide, the coordinates collapse. He is unusually honest about what happens next. You can come back, but the mind you return with is not the mind that left. amazon.com/Philosophy-Madnes…

@kstrw Wouter Kusters Philosophy of Madness is basically the only serious attempt of the last generation to treat psychotic rupture as an encounter with the limits of the human model rather than a pathology to be erased.

Western backed Zionists tortured Dr. Adnan al Bursh, Gaza's best surgeon, and then left him “naked from the waist down” in the prison yard to die.
The collective West has fully removed the mask.

What a delight a re-reading of Meillassoux is - against all neo-phenomenological denialisms of the real!

Please read this. It's literally been 8 years in the writing.
The first wave of tech disruption of democracy 2016-2024 is over. What starts now is something much, much worse: the age of information chaos.
