One of the biggest points of the chapters which I think can be summarized from Oedipus at last, the last section before chapter 4 in Deleuze and Guattari's Anti Oedipus, is "we are all little colonies, and Oedipus colonizes us." When you think phenomenologically, what it means for someone's...

I changed my mind and ordered the Titanium Vortex; it just took me like 5 minutes to actually get the O rings on the titanium extraction engine to fit the dynavap XL titanium stem even with wax. They push up the O rings when they don't align just right, and they make the extraction engine sit at...

I agree. I asked my partner what she thought and she said I'm already surrounded by expensive objects. One has to have priorities, while nonetheless it is worthwhile to have beauty for the sake of beauty. It seems it's not really necessarily in the functionality itself that the experience is...

I'm glad, but what purpose does a new stem actually server? I can 100% see the new cap from Simrell. It's a very large titanium piece of engineering that is more precise and far more efficient than the dynavap vapcaps, which I assume they made some sort of competitor to Simrell with. I recently...

Highly skeptical that I need a Simrell vortex stem when I already have a titanium XL dynavap stem with titanium extraction engine by Simrell as the cap, and Chill Steel Pipe. I feel like getting a Simrell Stem along with my Dynavap titanium stem would serve no rational use besides just being an...

Notes from 5 pages of chapter 2 of Klossowski's Nietzsche and the Vicious Circle. The "image of forgetfulness" on page 28 seems like time immemorial of Deleuze in Difference and Repetition; repetition without memory. The locus of impulses which is the history of the circular movement is likely a...

Charlie Chaplin The Great Dictator review part 2 of 2 Chaplin's film is ultimately a comedy, which occurred before they knew the end of world war two. The tone is hopeful, and the woman love interest to the Jewish barber is great, she slams Nazis in the head with frying pans, she says whether...

Charlie Chaplin The Great Dictator review part 1 of 2 This is a review for Charlie Chaplin's The Great Dictator (1940). This movie has arguably one of the greatest speeches in all of cinema, at the very end of the movie. It's where a Jewish barber, after much slap stick and prop comedy to get...

I have always supported small metal machine artists, metal work and high quality machined metal parts - watches, pens, pencils, audio, metal sculpture - but I have never tried to get into finery myself. Artisan work is not big business, it supports individual families and craftsman. One would...

This post is part 2 of 2 of a post that starts on the previous page. I will have to add Indigenous People's History of the United States to my shelf. I have some Angela Davis on my shelf as well. I have read a bit about the history of genocide through the Native Americans, Perlmans account is...

This post is part 1 of 2 of a post that appears on the next page. I will look up Levin, thank you for the recommendation. For Deleuze and Guattari, they are rather pan psychist. They have what are called the 3 synthesis, the connective, disjunctive, and conjunctive, which are synthesis 1...

I agree with you about trying to eliminate cancerous ideologies. I see the way people think as a positive or negative infection, positive infections being what Deleuze and Guattari calls rhizomatic. It is the introduction to an anti-fascist life, Deleuze and Guattari's work. The only way to...

I am writing a book, a sequel to my first book titled Queer Anarcho Communism: An A-Temporal Approach, available for free on the anarchist library, libcom.org, anarchistfederation.net, and anarchist news. My first book reinterprets Hegel’s idea of world spirit: not as a national, epochal...

Digital is weird, very much the feeling of the tablet gets in the way of the experience. It fatigues the eyes after a long time, it needs to be charged, it's harder to access pages without bookmarks where you can just pick up the bookmark and put it in. Also, screens before bed = shallow sleep...

I've read the Bhagavad Gita twice, a beautiful book. Didn't read any of the commentary like the As It Is one, my professor told me to just read the books themselves as opposed to the secondaries at first, but we did read a secondary on it I believe eventually in class. Great to see the origin of...
