The Crypto-Subject and the first Aesthetics of Withdrawal – Part 3

To arrive at the terminus of the visible is not to arrive at a blankness, nor at an absence in the strict phenomenological sense, but rather to encounter the emergence of another ontology in which the conditions for appearance have been altered or perhaps dismantled altogether. This is not a simple turning away from the light, nor a Nietzschean descent into the chthonic, but something more…

The Crypto-Subject and the Aesthetics of Withdrawal - Part 1

The emergence of the crypto-subject must not be confused with the appearance of a new identity category, nor mistaken for the crystallisation of an oppositional persona within the circulating grammars of digital resistance. It is not a simple by-product of technological disillusionment or a reactive strategy among the privacy-anxious. Rather, it constitutes a tectonic movement in the…

The Crypto-Subject and the Aesthetics of Withdrawal - Part 1

The emergence of the crypto-subject must be understood as a paradigmatic shift in the constitution of modern subjectivity, wherein the traditional dialectics of visibility and recognition are transfigured by a complex convergence of surveillance architectures, computational regimes of legibility, and the algorithmic aestheticisation of identity. Unlike previous historical configurations of the…

About cynicism

This post is based on the following quote from Peter Sloterdijk’s Critique of Cynical Reason:Cynicism is enlightened false consciousness. It is that modernized, unhappy consciousness, on which enlightenment has laboured both successfully and in vain. It has learned its lessons in enlightenment, but it has not, and probably was not able to, put them into practice. Well‑off and miserable at the…

Book of the Day - Critique of Cynical Reason

Today’s Book of the Day is Critique of Cynical Reason, written by Peter Sloterdijk in 1983 and published in English by University of Minnesota Press. Peter Sloterdijk (b. 1947, Karlsruhe, Germany) is a German philosopher. Its popularity is not merely symptomatic of a cultural moment but signalled the emergence of a new philosophical idiom: poetic, satirical, erudite, and deeply wounded by the…

Title: Dwelling Within the Impermanent: Reclaiming Discontinuity in the Age of False Continuities

The human mind, evolved as it is to predict, adapt, and cohere, is nonetheless a liar to itself. Photo by cottonbro studio on Pexels.com Among the grandest of illusions it produces—an illusion both neurological and sociocultural—is that of continuity: the belief that reality is a fluid, coherent, and fundamentally stable progression of identities, stories, and selves. In truth, what we…

우리의 미래는 전지구적 차원에서의 보편적인 협력의 논리에 달려 있다. '공-면역주의'라는 거시 구조로서의 새로운 문명을 만들기 위해 우리는 수행하는 삶의 모든 형식을 다시 써야 한다. "모든 역사는 면역체계의 투쟁사다. 이 역사는 보호주의와 외부화의 역사와 동일하다. 보호는 항상 지역적인 자기에 관련되고, 외부화는 아무도 책임지지 않는 익명의 환경에 관련된다. 이 역사는 자신의 것의 승리가 이질적인 것의 패배를 대가로 치러야만 했던 인간 진화의 시기들에 걸쳐 있다. 그 안에 국민들과 기업들의 신성 이기주의가 지배한다. 그러나 '세계사회'가 한계에 다다르고 지구를 그 깨지기 쉬운 대기권과 생물권의 체계들을 비롯해 최종적으로 인간 활동의 제한된 공동 무대로 구현해왔기 때문에 이 외부화의 실천은 어떤 절대 한계에 부딪힌다. 그때부터 전체의 보호주의가 면역 이성의 명령이 된다. Alle Geschichte ist die Geschichte von Immunsystemkämpfen. Sie ist mit der Geschichte des Protektionismus und der Externalisierung identisch. Die Protektion bezieht sich immer auf ein lokales Selbst, die Externalisierung auf eine anonyme Umwelt, für die niemand Verantwortung übernimmt. Diese Geschichte umspannt die Periode der Humanevolution, in der die Siege des Eigenen nur mit der Niederlage des Fremden zu bezahlen waren. In ihr dominieren die heiligen Egoismen der Nationen und Unternehmen. Weil aber die »Weltgesellschaft« den Limes erreicht und die Erde mitsamt ihren fragilen atmosphärischen und biosphärischen Systemen ein für alle Mal als den begrenzten gemeinsamen Schauplatz menschlicher Operationen dargestellt hat, stößt die Praxis der Externalisierung auf eine absolute Grenze. Von da an wird ein Protektionismus des Ganzen zum Gebot der immunitären Vernunft." 페터 슬로터다이크, <너는 너의 삶을 바꿔야 한다> #Book #Sloterdijk #Philosophy #Anthropotechnics #co-immunism https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ2gNmiFMT3/?igshid=p2go41hi0mza

Counter Possession Measures

I met someone today and I gave them this website, so it made me feel like I should post something on here.  These are some words I wrote down to melody I was playing a few weeks ago.

Counter possession measures running wild through my mind speeding up counter clockwise and erasing all the time feel it running roughshod through me daemonic and that’s fine first time in such a long time feel my soul flow out like wine

Counter possession measures they’re eclipsing all the light that they try to shine right through me from spires upon high feel them tickling my neurons into a frenzied dance as energy trapped within me is released out from its trance

Counter possession measures automated immune response from their anti-acrobatic asceticism of cosmic dust feel them crawling through my skin automated programs of sinister inertias with anthropotechnic stares

Counter possession measures auto-plastic self repair to drive out unwanted hexis of a cultural master promulgated endless virus so catapult me from its glare too high, vertically ascended you’ll never reach me from Down There!!
