Who?Snarky cunt masquerading as clever
This is core Marxist thinking (third will tell you) all about building a system of care where we raise babies together, full surrogacy. There’s been a lot of talk on Twitter about it in last few weeks after this was postedIt reminds me of when K-Punk decided to abolish the family unit, which mysteriously ended as soon as he got married and had a child.

I likt it when he writes this way and sometimes he needs to be poked to do it, defending his honour etcBut the idea of love as this angelic absolute I think elides what is really at stake here. We are animals, and animals are desiring machines (here desire should not at all just be conflated with sex.) Higher metaphysical purposes are post-hoc, grafted on developments.

Ignorance of people around you is a kind of bliss, a development negated by the virtualisation of most of social life.
