some of this stuff does happen, however infrequently, those stories wouldn't be so funny if they weren't a hysterical simulacrum of the risks of hallucinogen induced psychosis

asking for opinions...........

there is something similar in the uk now afaik, although it wouldn't apply to the case in my previous post

that was what i was referring to, also his three essasys concerning sex and some other papers notwithstanding statutory rape cases (considering 16+ in uk) i know of at least one girl who had sex with a middle aged teacher when scarcely older than that, which is clearly fucked up how old does...

how old is the cutoff age for pathological hebephilia (english tabloids seem to feed off middle age wank fantasies for teenage girls, suggesting it's VERY common) this has been on my mind reading 'a fragment of an analysis' (freud) and some of that late victorian sexual theory and thinking...

the new panda bear album 'person pitch' (a very fine album naturally) the sleevenotes of which contain a long list of influences most of which seem to appear as the samples comprising 90% of the album eg tornados, luomo, cat stevens, field recordings of (inter alia) portuguese owls and sundry...

how recondite is badiou's use of set theory etc? is it necessary to have a maths degree (or worse) to begin with?

no it isn't, see anything liberal establishment international lawyers like philippe sands or c stafford smith have written in the guardian, lrb etc and read through the diffidence and affected ambiguity

very good

nah spain has had the most success in the champions league too in recent years, germany is nowhere near that level, and all the significant italian teams except inter have been affected by corruption investigations or financial collapse in recent years england and spain are probably about...

the beach boys were on drugs already surely? 'take pills' is about not taking drugs

thought about doing a thread on this when it leaked, connecting it to ariel pink but it was going to be a bit tendentious i think i probably have played it 50 times......

the latent wish that atoms ergo chromosones, aphids, nebulae, fixed income bonds, single mothers, cathars, superegos etc are all somehow symmetrical? fuck knows

that quantum theory is applied in technology isn't very surprising since almost all physics will have some technological use eventually if concepts from physics are considered to be poetically or epistemological useful by writers eg pynchon, musil, gadda, like the poets of old, then that is not...

that seems unfair, since that invective was in response to a callow apologist for political violence the flaw in suggesting that quantum theory facilitated the development of semiconductors is redundancy (as if the theory is useful infosar as it is utile) - the assertion is essentially true...

thanks! i suppose when i left maths (17ish), hardcore physics seemed like a subset of maths, and i'd assumed the mathematic foundation of relativity would have been as new as the concept itself, that the 'difficulty' would be in the calculus

that's 'an introduction to', a condensed form? surely the full theory of einstein that confounded so many people cannot be understood so easily?

the general theory, i suppose it's sometimes said that relativity, especially the general theory, was prohibitively difficult even for some eminent figures in contemporary theoretical physics to understand comprehensively, why was this? was it simply owing to its mathematical complexity or a...
