Post-nihilist praxis | attempts at living

https://attemptsatliving.wordpress.com/2014/11/22/post-nihilist-praxis

To make a system out of delusions. Michael on post-nihilist praxis. I believe the task of conscious observers (and not just intellectuals) today is to begin to indulge. Modes of thinking and doing. Realizing and coping-with the transcorporeal facticity of life. Entails communicating and making explicit our intimate connections with the planet and its beings, but it also requires us to explore and engage. With-in the natural world through association, design and infrastructure. November 22, 2014. You are ...

Confusion is part of the message | Horizons of Significance

https://horizonsofsignificance.wordpress.com/2015/08/06/confusion-is-part-of-the-message

Searching out a new compass: Compassion, Conviviality, Creativity and Dialogue. Confusion is part of the message. An insight into the necessity of confusion. Let’s be clear. Confusion is part of the message. This fact has been elusive. One effect of confusion is that we struggle to find some simple way to untangle it. The real lesson of confusion is that it is a sign we are perceiving complexity. Click to share on Google (Opens in new window). Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window). Antonio's ex...

exist strategy: become-machine | attempts at living

https://attemptsatliving.wordpress.com/2014/11/02/exist-strategy-become-machine

To make a system out of delusions. There is something we love to imagine more than anything else: the end of our species. In the field of the imagination there is more to relish in pictures of hell than any paradise. What motivates that morbidity? It’s tempting to conclude outright that we hate ourselves. We have philosophers who will tell it to us. John Gray’s ludicrous idea of homo rapiens. So now nick bostrom tells us. Ring out that skynet is on the way:. Last month, the billionaire tweeted a recommen...

Hallucination #1 | attempts at living

https://attemptsatliving.wordpress.com/2014/07/26/hallucination-1

To make a system out of delusions. There is an undeniable need for health. Biophysical survival depends on being healthy, and you can forget any autonomy without it. Basic needs give way to expansive desires and both collide in the expanded notion of need located in Marx. For instance, in the. Madness is such a need, or rather the expression of such a need. This is David Cooper’s argument in. The Language of Madness. But the chain of signification takes in asignifying particles as well as nonsemiological...

And another other place… | attempts at living

https://attemptsatliving.wordpress.com/2015/03/29/and-another-other-place

To make a system out of delusions. And another other place…. Blogs are supposed to be practice. I haven’t been practicing very much. That is why I am rebooting myself over at Catastrophic Edge. I’ve also gotten pretty dissatisfied with my writing so this might be a place- after the two posts already up- where I try to change it up a bit. On the one hand I want to write more stuff in the style of the hallucination. On the other hand I also share Colin Feltham’s aspiration in his. Anything at all, is engag...

Felix Guattari on The Function of Autonomy | attempts at living

https://attemptsatliving.wordpress.com/2014/06/28/the-function-of-autonomy

To make a system out of delusions. Felix Guattari on The Function of Autonomy. The dimension of organization is not on the same plane as the issue of autonomy. The issue of autonomy belongs to the domain of what I would call a function of autonomy, a function that can be embodied effectively in feminist, ecological, homosexual, and other groups, but also and why not? Central point, but to place them in a huge rhizome. June 28, 2014. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here. Laquo; Previous Post.

Geoengineering and death | attempts at living

https://attemptsatliving.wordpress.com/2015/01/07/geoengineering-and-death

To make a system out of delusions. The argument against geoengineering is simple and can be thought of as occurring in the discontinuous opening between the two positions that allegedly dominate the spectrum of possible positions. One the one hand is the new accelerationist return to Prometheanism, while on the other hand it is the terrified retreat of the precautionary principle. If its the latter case then we’d need a demonstration of why this is the case, otherwise Srnicek is just doing the old ...

Monday, 16 April 2012. Deep Resistance to Deep Green Resistance. Have had a really interesting fortnight in my head. I have for some time known about Derrick Jensen. Through his books "Endgame" but I innocently happened upon a tweet from Dark Optimism. About the film 2010 film End:Civ. Which features Jensen and the ideas generated by the Deep Green Resistance Movement. DGR) Their underlying philosophy is encapsulated by Lierre Keith. What am I to think about this? First came the Anonymous. It went on to ...

RadishBlog: Fair Trade Treasure

http://wwwradishblogger.blogspot.com/2013/01/fair-trade-treasure.html

Sunday, 27 January 2013. My last blog post was about corporate efforts to hide money and dodge tax. We all know about the Amazons and the Starbucks but there is another avoidance strategy which is about how goods - or more accurately, how the services related to goods are located around the world. Corporations brand, insure, distribute in house. By so doing they can then. Themselves for these services which they offer. Lost through corporate robbery makes current austerity measures a joke. So if anyone a...
