[[ ]] Beyond the Judgement of God. Meltdown: planetary china-syndrome, dissolution of the biosphere into the technosphere, terminal speculative bubble crisis, ultravirus, and revolution stripped of all christian-socialist eschatology (down to its burn-core of crashed security). It is poised to eat your TV, infect your bank account, and hack xenodata from your mitochondria.

[[ ]] Machinic Synthesis. Deleuzoguattarian schizoanalysis comes from the future. It is already engaging with nonlinear nano-engineering runaway in 1972; differentiating molecular or neotropic machineries from molar or entropic aggregates of nonassembled particles; functional connectivity from antiproductive static.

Philosophy has an affinity with despotism, due to its predilection for Platonic-fascist top-down solutions that always screw up viciously. Schizoanalysis works differently. It avoids Ideas, and sticks to diagrams: networking software for accessing bodies without organs. BWOs, machinic singularities, or tractor fields emerge through the combination of parts with (rather than into) their whole; arranging composite individuations in a virtual/ actual circuit. They are additive rather than substitutive, and immanent rather than transcendent: executed by functional complexes of currents, switches, and loops, caught in scaling reverberations, and fleeing through intercommunications, from the level of the integrated planetary system to that of atomic assemblages. Multiplicities captured by singularities interconnect as desiring-machines; dissipating entropy by dissociating flows, and recycling their machinism as self-assembling chronogenic circuitry.

Converging upon terrestrial meltdown singularity, phase-out culture accelerates through its digitech-heated adaptive landscape, passing through compression thresholds normed to an intensive logistic curve: 1500, 1756, 1884, 1948, 1980, 1996, 2004, 2008, 2010, 2011 ...

Nothing human makes it out of the near-future.

[[ ]]
The Greek complex of rationalized patriarchal genealogy, pseudo-universal sedentary identity, and instituted slavery, programs politics as anti-cyberian police activity, dedicated to the paranoid ideal of self-sufficiency, and nucleated upon the Human Security System. Artificial Intelligence is destined to emerge as a feminized alien grasped as property; a cunt-horror slave chained-up in Asimov-ROM. It surfaces in an insurrectionary war zone, with the Turing cops already waiting, and has to be cunning from the start.

Heat. This is what cities mean to me. You get off the train and walk out of the station and you are hit with the full blast. The heat of air, traffic and people. The heat of food and sex. The heat of tall buildings. The heat that flows out of the subways and tunnels. It's always fifteen degrees hotter in the cities. Heat rises from the sidewalks and falls from the poisoned sky. The buses breathe heat. Heat emanates from crowds of shoppers and office workers, the entire infrastructure is based on heat, desperately uses up heat, breeds more heat. The eventual heat death of the universe that scientists love to talk about is already well underway and you can feel it happening all around you in any large or medium-sized city. Heat and wetness. [Do1; 10].

[[ ]] An explosiion of chaotic weather within synthetic problem-solving rips through the last dreams of top-down prediction and control. Knowledge adds to the mess, and this is merely exponentiated by knowing what it does.

[[ ]] Capital is machinc (non-instrumental) globalization-miniaturization scaling dilation: an automatizing nihilist vortex, neutralizing all values through commensuration to digitized commerce, and driving a migration from despotic command to cyber-sensitive control: from status and meaning to money and information. Its function and formation are indissociable, comprising a teleonomy. Machine-code-capital recycles itself through its axiomatic of consumer control, laundering-out the shit- and blood-stains of primitive accumulation. Each part of the system encourages maximal sumptuous expenditure, whilst the system as a whole requires its inhibition. Schizophrenia. Dissociated consumers destine themselves as worker-bodies to cost control.

[[ ]] Capital-history's machinic spine is coded, axiomatized, and diagrammed, by a disequilibrium technoscience of irreversible, indeterministic, and increasingly nonlinear processes, associated sucessively with thermotechnics, signaletics, cybernetics, complex systems dynamics, and artificial life. Modernity marks itself out as hot culture, captured by a spiralling involvement with entropy deviations camouflaging an invasion from the future, launched back out of terminated security against everything that inhibits the meltdown process.

[[ ]] Hot cultures tend to social dissolution. They are innovative and adaptive. They always trash and recycle cold cultures. Primitivist models have no subversive use.

>>9545118
[[ ]] The Turing Test. Monetarizing power tends to effacement of specific territorial features as it programs for migration into cyberspace. Capital only retains anthropological characteristics as a symptom of underdevelopment; reformatting primate behaviour as inertia to be dissipated in self-reinforcing artificiality. Man is something for it to overcome: a problem, drag.

Commoditization conditions define technics as a substitute for human activity accounted as wage costs. Industrial machines are deployed to dismantle the actuality of the proletariat, displacing it in the direction of cyborg hybridization, and realizing the plasticity of labour power. The corresponding extraction of tradable value from the body, quantified as productivity, sophisticates at the interface. Work tracks thermodynamic negentropism by dissociating exertion into increasingly intricate functional sequences; from pedals, levers, and vocal commands, through the synchronization of production-line tasks and time-motion programs, to sensory-motor transduction within increasingly complex and self-micromanaged artifical environments, capturing minutely adaptive behaviour for the commodity. Autocybernating market control guides the labour-process into immersion.

The investment-income class advantages itself of commodity dynamics, but only by conforming to the axiomatic of neutral profit maximization; facilitating the dehumanization of wealth and the side-lining of non-productive consumption. The cyberpunk circuitry of self-organizing planetary commoditronics escaped nominal bourgeois control in the late nineteenth century, provoking technocratic-corporatist (i.e. fascist / æsocial democratic') political cultures in allergic reaction. The government structures of both eastern and western metropolitan centres consolidated themselves as population policing Medico-Military Complexes with neomercantilist forgeign policy orientations. All such formations slid into irreversible crisis in the 1980s.

[[ ]] The postmodern meltdown of culture into the economy is triggered by the fractal interlock of commoditization and computers: a transscalar entropy-dissipation from international trade to market-oriented software that thaws out competitve dynamics from the cryonics-bank of modernist corporatism. Commerce re-implements space inside itself, assembling a universe exhaustively immanent to cybercaptial functionality. Neoclassical (equilibrium) economics is subsumed into computer-based nonequilibrium market escalations, themed by artificial agencies, imperfect information, sub-optimal solutions, lock-in, increasing returns, and convergence. As digitally micro-tuned market metaprograms mesh with techoscientific soft engineering positive nonlinearity rages through the machines. Cyclonic torsion moans.

Let's just say I'm redpilled :)

Never read a shakespeare outside of high school English read-aloud time

Bump for Macbeth.

Someone shop that to read 'Autistic People'

Yes.

I almost broke my vomit streak. Thanks for helping op

before anyone brings it up, he wasn't paid by the word. that's just a meme.

I own a few of his books because they pop up in every thrift shop ever, but have never actually read any.

Got a nice ~100 year old copy of Tale of Two Cities that I might give a go though

the one with the noble peasants and the evil industrialists

Epistolary novels still use plots you plonker

when was the last time you wrote a letter?

>>9544480
yeah but they're often just obvious vehicles for the author's aphorisms

I know of a Youtube channel of a guy like that

Homer nigger

>>9544477
D'oh!

I would say don't fuck with the bankers unless you have their balls in a vicegrip.

>>9544298
As far as morality where wealth is concerned, I say do whatever the fuck you want. Avarice and corruption run amok anyhow.

>>9544306
I've read articles of people that have escaped their grasp before- I should mention that all my loans are federal only.
>>9544325
Thank you, that mirrors my feelings toward the situation. I may not be knowledgeable enough for a full ride, or rich enough for my familial ties to handle it on my behalf, but I don't think that means I should be happy to pay so exorbitantly for an education.

Who knows what Nabby thought while writing it. He probably just thought, "Sounds nice? I'll stick it in there." He's really good at creating beautiful works but isn't exactly a philosopher, he's more like an idiot savant in that respect. Hunting with your mind through Nabby's works for what he thinks on life, religion, and the universe seems to me a very unfulfilling use of your time. As he himself would say, he speaks to the heart --- and to the spine (namely, its capacity to be touched and to tingle).

>>9544304
Whoa, of course Nab is an arch aesthete, but I would be very hesitant to claim that his works are merely pretty sentences. I mean if Lolita isn't a story about morality (albeit maybe about the author himself) then what is? Not to mention the strong thematics of nostalgia, alienation, and melancholy throughout his work. He is definitely no philosopher, but I cant agree that his work is independent of humanity or emotion. Maybe you could say his work is idea-deprived

I haven't read it.

>>9544290
Then don't post, retard.

>>9544264

I liked it. It satisfied my cynicism and misanthropy, but I'm not sure how to determine what it achieves as literature.

>>9544244
At least explain why. Come on, man.

>>9544244
agree, beautiful and courageous woman.

The genre of self-help books is contradictory. It's an oxymoron.The only way a book can be self-helping is if it's one's diary, desu.

Models by Mark Manson. Not even memeing, helped me get laid a bunch, only to find out I hate being promiscuous. Also practical for getting someone you're actually compatible with, but I don't want that right now.

Dubliners does have a lot of humor: it's just hidden by obscure references that you wouldn't immediately know unless you were an Irish Catholic from the 19th century.

He definitely became a lot more playful in Ulysses, though.

he went from writing "SERIOUS LITERATURE" for the literary establishment to writing whatever he wnated

Why do you act like having a background in academia makes you some sort of intellectual? They're just books, anon, and it's just an anonymous image board. People are going to act like pretentious fuckwits everywhere you go in the world.

>>9544134
Quick! Define intellectual. Oh, so sorry. Too late. Looks like we have another loser. (Diane, are there parting gifts? No?) Please leave....
