too old..?! thought you were younger than me, luka!...could be wrong, or you could be joking, not sure...anyway, hope see you soon ;)

http://www.sas.upenn.edu/African_Studies/Hornet/qat.html Sounds alright! More like speed than weed, that true?

it's a surprisingly shitty drug. When recently I was in hospital, nil by mouth for ages and then they were late with the operation, I started getting this massive headache. I spoke to the anasthetic guy before surgery and told him about it and he tells me it's cos I hadn't had any caffeine for a...

Well, I dunno what people mean when they talk about 'theory'. It's all just thought, innit. But anyway, here is a list of some of the best pieces available online, in my humble opinion: BADIOU. The Badiou archive is here: http://bulldog.unca.edu/~kjharlan/badiou/ The best piece to start (an...

Well, you can't blame Mark entirely for the weed thing, he was responding to summat I wrote and a discussion we had recently. (Though, er, don't go blaming me for everything he writes that you don't agree with, eh), ho ho. My initial post came off the back of something I've been thinking about...

I will attempt to respond later I promise! Have been v. busy teaching. Hope someone else will give it a go too....

erm, I also occasionally try and read Chomsky's linguistics works and any recent anthropology research, does this count?....what science stuff do you recommend, Mr non-autistic HMG?

Well, a bit self-referentially, I would recommend you to read Badiou's collection of essays entitled, *ahem*, 'Infinite Thought'. Short, concise and relevant. Also Zizek's 'Welcome to the Desert of the Real' (about the state of politics/thought post-September 11th). Frederic Jameson's...

But the elephant is covered in blood!; when he says 'but it's christmas', he's attacking the rampant consumerism of his dwarf partner and his 'mail-order' bride; I didn't think that he was rehabilitated through the power of love - the reason he got off scot-free was because of people's own gooey...

My initial response was nice if you remember - I assured you I thought everything was ok, exactly what you wanted me to say, it was after that you got odd, but AAARRRRGH! Am sick of this, not gonna write anything else. Have nothing against you either Luke, would be happy if you and mark could...

actually you wondered whether I was going to 'bite your head off', but that's by the by. Wasn't gonna make anything public until you pretended you didn't know what I was referring to. And I DID tell you that there was no problem with Mark and that everything was ok - that was when you started...

Can we all agree that accusing people of burgeoning mental illness is not a particularly honorable tactic.... I'm not in the least bit paranoid, but not unreasonably, I'm not that keen on people I don't know sending me emails about my friendships with other people. I appreciate your concern for...

ok, luke, play dumb then. I won't tell anyone you sent me messages claiming that Mark was now 'under my spell' and that I should be 'flattered' cos he was writing about badiou and so on if you don't. You basically insinuated both that I was manipulative and that Mark was incapable of making his...

so, luka, are you gonna talk to mark himself and not blame his friends for getting him to read badiou etc.? (it wasn't me anyway.... plus I think tough man mark is old and anti-man enough to take responsibility for his own reading choices). I don't want to make enemies with someone I've never...

I would be intrigued if there's anyone out there willing to defend the thesis that a more 'feminine' mode of argumentation/reasoning trumps a more 'masculine' one....anyone?

A quick search reveals the meaning of your dream: 'Heron: You can expect some losses, but you will regain them and more if you dreamed of these exotic birds.' Which is to say.....precisely nothing! And whether they are exotic or not depends on your geographical location, surely - I doubt they...

wot, from Mr 'every day is like Christmas, I don't need none of your horse tranquiliser nonsense' k-punk. I think it stands for kyber as in cyber (Greek?), but I probably got the spelling wrong. Interestingly, in Croatian, the later 'k' on its own means 'towards'. Now that's neat.

There is some agreement among Catholics as to what it means to be Catholic, otherwise they wouldn't be Catholic (and would be Anglican, atheist, agnostic, Buddist, something else entirely, etc.). But It's clear we are not going to get anywhere with this point in particular if you think all...

Sorry Jim! I was putting the case in an extreme manner is true....but these are issues dear to my black and rotten heart. Being raised on a diet of corrupt liberal existentialism, I have fundamental problem with people declaring themselves to be anything at all without extremely good reasons...

Ok, so not my last post then.... If you're gonna be a serious atheist (as opposed to someone who just says 'well I dunno either way', i.e. the agnostic, which is what I think most people who claim to be atheists actually are), you at least need recourse to some kind of methodology that renders...
