found this yesterday

I DONT TOTALLY UNDERSTAND BUT I SURE LIKE TO LISTEN

the situationists were definitely revolutionaries who's ideas(at least Debord's) should be taken seriously, I just like to poke fun at them being trust fund brats because a lot of people I know who claim to be "influenced" by the situationists are themselves a bunch of white upper middle class kids who've never had to support themselves for a day in their lives. It's funny to me that the folks shouting "never work" are always the ones who've never had to.

Live it up dogg

zizek is a baffoon. i havent read his shit but ive seen the documentary and while he did some p. good trolling, he said a lot of nonsense, and i am suspecting its probably the same with his works, especially because i know what type of people like them (dumbasses who substitute literary references and jargon for substance)

i am reading bolano's 2666 in spanish and some random poetry books. mayakovsky now is my fav poet

honestly, instead of reading the latest abortions of those living corpses from the really corrupt intellectual elite of paris, y'all should read some wittgenstein. after reading dat shit you'd understand why these folks and their zany word play are awful. They start from the idea tthat by making the correct configuration of words, you'll find some truth. thats why these people write 1000 pg tomes of nothing. philosophical propositions say nothing. the only use philosophy has is in clarification:

deboring is the worst. vaneigem is much better man

i should probably read him yeah but honestly part of why i like checking out these guys is because im doing a pure maths course and find it kind of refreshing to hear ideas like this even if (or possibly because) theyre probably bullshit! i get enough rigorous set theory at home

i do think you could probably carve out a good niche in academia by latching on to some incomprehensible dude and then talking like mr. myagi all the time though. when one analyses foucault does foucault not also analyse you?? when you radicalise the superstructure you also superstructuralise the radical. one thinks of homer......

hi marmot.

hi earl

i rediscovered gw when someone sent me a chatlog about some people divorcing in irc and i thought that was p. cool

do you know any good música hispana tradicional?

one couldan't examine the limits of a form with/out pushing the boundaries one-self

also if zizek was a town he'd be jargon city. also also current french (postmodernist?) philosophy is pretty much the opposite of what you said?

not really

got 2666 on a total whim

tempted to get into that but not sure if worth it

He's fun to read but there's really nothing of great importance in his work. Its really just a bunch of psychoanalysis of popular culture, the occasional Stalinist posturing(immediately followed by digression), and dirty jokes.


also Wittgenstein owns, I've been reading Philosophical Investigations at work on my downtime when I'm not fucking around on my phone.

i've always suspected that zizek suffers from some undiagnosed but exceptionally high functioning autism. i disagree with so much he says, but i can't help but find him interesting in the same way i find a literary character interesting. he's a profoundly wacky dude.

also i love watching him speak. he reminds me of the character vincent d'onofrio played in men in black where he played this 20 foot tall insect trying to fit in a 6 foot tall man's body. he's perpetually uncomfortable and always talks as though someone has a gun to his head.

not really

yeah really, you seem unaware that they're working from a completely different framework. it's like criticising atheism for not having any authoratative scripture and not dealing with the second comming of christ, or a book for having the words formed into sentences rather than arranged alphabetically

also zizek is definitely jargon laden (other and Other are really Really different) and postmodernism wouldn't make claims towards finding truth (this is pretty much what characterises postmodernism)

you're all fat babies writhing around in your full diapers.

I got given foucault's pendulum and I liked the name of the rose so I'm gonna read that. I also heard it's got sephiroth in it??
