I did not mean that to be offensive!! But even in disagreeing with certain points Gek and I made, it seemed to me a given in your post that you had the same concerns about the all-pervasiveness of capital's grip on desire.

Sorry:slanted:

How did a thread on love get to the cyborg?

I love Dissensus.

I think you would really enjoy Heidegger. Really very much, especially if you're reading Badiou. Without Heidegger there would definitely be no Badiou.

EDIT: Also, Badiou's best work is on D&G's indebtedness to Heidegger--something that often goes completely overlooked or misunderstood.

Well 'being thrown' just makes me think of dwarves.

I have no idea about something called 'essentialism' so I can't have mentioned it. If I said 'essence' it was just to denote what is there in a person underneath and preceding a constructed personality. For some people this is further away than others.

Blame Burial/swears for everything.

I am very apprehensive about the cyborg manifesto though... but this is because I think at heart I am more vulgar marxist than a cheerleader for schizoanalytic posthumanity... The rich will always have the better bionic parts.. The idea of literal, direct physical control of bodies through technology scares me more than MMO techno-portal worlds, though both are related of course.

That one's so monolithic and "classic" it's harder to take, but mid-Heidegger is my jam. It was some of the first philosophy I read and loved, really really influenced me from a young age.

So to tell another one of my secrets, my outspoken D&G love is by way of a huge amount of self-examination and questioning my strongest impulses toward modernist ontology to be completely honest.

Now I really feel naked.

yeah I know, Gavin speaks from that borderline between Marx and Freud and D&G that's hard to hash out, I have a hard time with it

Ha! found it! From this lecture. I don't necessarily agree with everything (the guy's a bit of a weirdo) but nonetheless I think this is sort of the standard view of embodiment with regard to technology, in the engineering/CS fields.

Why does everyone on here refer to ideas other people have hashed out long ago and better than any of us could, when they haven't read these source texts (which is fine, nothing wrong with that)-- and then get mad at those who have? What gives?

I'm referring to my thoughts about things, hopefully some real things and not just ideas.

It's about getting to something valuable, useful and real.

Not everything someone says relates to some 'source text', especially when they are using perfectly ordinary words in common usage.
