>he still thinks desires are his own
>it is thus in psychological time—the only time that has meaning—that the issue of recognition or misrecognition can be decided. It is also to be stressed yet again that recognition and misrecognition will take place in every single minute of physical time and that recognition, if it is to happen, will happen physically “now,” in the present, but will enlighten and heal all the preceding, earlier misrecognitions. Here we return to Proust’s insights about the search for lost time and time regained. As for the future, on the psychological level it represents nothing but a projection of the past and an imaginary repetition of memories.
>It is desire that engenders the self and by its movement brings the self to life.
>desire is the origin of the self. the self is therefore in reality a self- of-desire. Another desire, the desire of another model, will bring with it the emergence of a different self, an-other-self-of-an-other-desire.
>a psychological reality is not situated in the tranquil opacity of anyone’s “own body,” contained in the reassuring totality of a “self,” but rather in the mysterious transparency of the interdividual relation.
It's been getting mighty accelerationist in here, how about we take a Pause That Refreshes with a Girard thread. Baudrillard: the sad thing about artificial intelligence is that it lacks artifice and therefore intelligence. The ultimate monkey-wrench for Skynet is going to be a Gauloise cigarette, a peach and a fucking beautiful afternoon with absolutely nothing to do except read Shakespeare.
Is memory a third category to set aside Being and Becoming? Have I lost my goddamned mind? Let's find out.

holy shit is girardfag back, fuck off you self important grandiose fuck

Kek, I've been shitting up the Land threads for weeks.

And by shitting up, I mean to say, losing my gourd over acceleration.

I just starting looking for this book because of your last post and now what? Do I need to put myself down in your check box as needing to be crossed out? I'm curious, not clever.
And technically, Skynet will be a joke that lasts as comedy effaces all tragedy, and then no one will get that it was popular or even apart of fantasy culture. The artificial in AI is also a bad joke that can only become a slur against what is biological.
Enjoy Tolstoy's confessions, and pretend he's talking about robots. It hits the nerve, and stings beautifully before the prose-wash cleans you up nice and tidy.

No check boxes or crossings to be found here.

Very possible. You need a pretty cosmic view of things to see the comedy in that, but it's not like that's impossible.

Interesting suggestion, cheers.

Duh

I hate how he fobs off Proust's work without saying anything about it at all, subtly forbidding the reader to question it unless they reveal themselves as being outside of the accepted intelligentsia milieu. In fact the whole accelerationist dogma is underpinned with this schoolboy chauvinism over having read some of a few obscure books. I detest it for its gluttonous aphorisms hiding what is at base cowardice and shame.

duh
That clip is interesting, though. Brains are mighty keen. Catherine Malabou seems to be trying to slide in a very subtle kind of Hegelianism into neuroplasticity. It's an interesting argument, anyways. I prefer the nerve-shattering oscillation between Land/Girard at the moment for reasons I don't quite understand.

You have a gift for hurling insults like a born chevalier. I can't even get mad.

Thanks but I really think you would get more out of listening to "The Idiot" by Iggy Pop than you do from reading baudrillard et al.
I thought you said you were, like, driving or something???
>>9656623
I was never a hip-hop guy and I don't plan on being one in the future, but there was a brief time last year when I started listening to it for exactly that reason: what are *those* guys saying about the problems of capitalism, violence and excess? I think it was Martin Shkreli who piqued my curiosity. I probably could have saved myself a lot of time reading old dead Marxist guys if I had just listened to more rap. Was interesting stuff.
Never was a punk guy but I'll try this out. Gotta go make some dinner now, thanks for the recommendation.

It was what Ian Curtis had on when he handed himself. Not really a punk album anyway. More of a masterpiece. Bone app the teeth.
>>9656654
Hanged himself*. Maybe he was handing himself too I've not seen the photos.
>>9656641
driving does not equal acceleration
>unless, i mean, you're talking about driving in *time,* in which case in a certain sense we are always being propelled by the force of the unconscious - or should it be likened to a paraconscious? - flung into the world, as heidegger says, and -
