These are my favorite kind of vigilantes: Living in the bay area myself, its fucking stupid how many potholes there are. it is actually insane. Again, it's only when the state has failed to fulfill one of its basic responsibilities that we see people self-organize and do something.

i love vigilantes, (except the Taxi Cab loner types) because it's kind of an organic expression of solidarity with one's community and the power to self-organize when the state has lost it's legitimacy. its no coincidence that immigrants and other underserved communities are those that often...

i just realized how much an evangelist I sound like. oh well. it cant be helped

you too.

One of the best critiques of defi is that it is extremely self-circular -- by that I mean defi stuff is about trading defi tokens, DEX's are for trading one defi-token for another, insurance is for defi protocols which offer lending on defi tokens etc. but honestly, the critique misses the fact...

Hopefully, I can offer my perspective. I think I've made my previous views on the NFTs space clear enough, but I think crypto's original techno-social vision of the future is exciting. Here is Sergay Nazarov, founder of Chainlink offering his take on the entire point of it all: Not saying I...

making your own pinhole camera, using a darkroom etc the whole experience relies on tinkering, on trial and error, its immensely gratifying. theres a sense of power I get from knowing at a basic level how things work- on the other hand, something comparatively powerless and alienating about...

i love old technology because it's more mechanical, more intuitive. seeing all the little gears in a clock I can build a basic mechanical model of how it works. old technology is usually more, should I say, physical. Conversely, my smartphone may as well be magic- I need multiple degrees to...

working my way through it at the moment. So far its been both a critique of substantial and or form/matter-based approaches to individuation and a positive ontological project in its own right. The thought is that the substance-based approaches treat the individual as stable, and think of...

do you like the poem craner helpfuly typed out for us? is it in this thread? let me see if I can find it.

on a serious note have you read gilbert simondon's individuation In Light of Notions of Forms and Matter? It's an interesting confluence of cybernetics and french thinking of the time. ofc Deleuze would go off and run with it in his own way but the original text is surprisingly lucid.

Been reading enough 18th-century Scottish enlightenment texts to understand this post, luckily. Hume's A Treatise of Human Nature in particular

I think colleges don't really matter for admissions? To be honest I'm quite confused by the whole college thing--I have no idea how to differentiate between "University College" and "New College." From what I gather it does not matter too much so I picked a normal sounding one lol

christ this thread is long. I'm not not gonna bother reading most of it. its probably meaningless complaints from people who failed to get in anyway. (don't worry I'll be like you guys in a month or so.)

apologies again, I've been preoccupied with another fucking schools admissions. This time its tufts. As to why I want to go to oxford? I want to experience "serious" philosophy. Oxford is the one best place to do that for a masters it is my real name. i've for better or for worse totally given...

Yes yes yes, now time to listen to that jungle thread for zoomers saw I somewhere on here

HAHAHAHAH yes..... lads ive done it. Apologies for the temporary absence I had to focus all my intellectual energy on applications. Now that the first is done its smooth sailing from here.

one of the best rap albums I've listened to. album is full of stories of growing up in the urban hellscape that is central California. first one is pretty depressing fair warning

if you want projects I'm actually holding you can dm me. but i dont want to shit up this board any more talking about ponzis.
