    An Emergent Order

    hasn't this been your modus operandi since 2004? The man down the pub, the man of common sense.

    An Emergent Order

    I could explain them, but where would the fun be in that? bluffing (and even more so folding) is a useful strategy in poker, you know. but we obviously know the classic theistic rebuttal to atheism: if God doesn't exist, everything is permitted. Obviously rubbish. please explain paranoia...

    An Emergent Order

    yes, for Hume it was epistemological, but conjunction is causation its broadest sense, even if it does not appear to us as being so. Coincidences are a case of incomplete knowledge (something I have never denied.) Hence why some philosophy departments in England will use Hume to justify the...

    Autechre

    what would be funny is to have the pitch of the track follow every warp marker so it always stays in time but but minor infinitesimal adjustments to pitch take place, as if you were mixing on vinyl. so say it's at 127, and then the original track with the real drummer becomes 127.051 you hear...

    problem is if you warp too much in ableton the sound quality gets too degraded.

    Autechre

    if you warp this in ableton so it is snapped to the grid you can layer it over this track from Autechre and everything I say will become clear. maybe one for @..... Gurbet P.:NTIL

    @version see? reddit posters understands dialectics and does not hesitate whereas you want to go back to Deleuze, Guattari and Alex Empire Deleuzians are afraid of the stars as much as the caveman, as it forces them to think of experiences that are not yet immanent. simon luke and...

    if malelesbioan became a tough boy with an ak47 strapped to his back then he could rap over this instead of trying to dip his riggly appendage in the methane stench of TV on the Radio.

    I think draft 7.30 is one of their best, it's really reconstructed Pharoahe Monch if you think about it hard enuf.

    An Emergent Order

    contingency doesn't exclude laws of causation, it's that all contingencies are causal and are the product of other contingent causes, and thus determined, in the broadest sense. Hume tried to refute this by saying causality is just a mental abstraction with no real world referent, but then one...

    An Emergent Order

    yes, and your statement that 'things could have turned out otherwise' is a statement of causal determinism itself. The fact that they didn't means that systems do not follow random courses of action (which again, is an incoherent proposition.) to make evaluations of why x happened instead of y...

    An Emergent Order

    yes, but empirical observation provides no inherent ground for narritive. you just have a mass of data, you have to go back to the mutable human categories of thought to make sense of any of it. I know you want to have social sciences standing above all social relations as some kind of neutral...

    An Emergent Order

    you and @Mr. Tea people keep saying religious argument as if this is some kind of criticism when it is anything but. For the contemporary liberal atheist, if God doesn't exist, nothing is permitted, and hence there is a return back to religion as reflected through philosophical atheism...

    An Emergent Order

    no, the communist acquisition of central power has been tried and it regressed to capitalistic forms, whether it was a true or false communism is a moral judgment which can be best left to the bourgeois — there are only true and false communists as political currents with men personifying them...

    An Emergent Order

    'matter' is a human word, yes. Such is inescapable. There is no thing one can call a particle of matter-qua-matter in and of itself. I have never denied that, hence me qualifying repeatedly that materialism is an anti-philosophical tendancy within philosophy. But where you struggle is that you...
