btw, this is bullshit. la vraie bullshit.
“Deleuze takes a book he has at hand by a great Russian poet Ossip Mandelstam, and reads a passage in which the author speaks about how little importance memory has and especially for writing. Deleuze agrees fully, and takes from Mandelstam the idea that one learns not to speak, but to stutter … That’s what writing is, says Deleuze, stuttering in language, pushing language to the...

“The traditional scholar, like the scholarship he or she produces, isn’t open—open-minded, hopefully, but not “open” in a public way. No, a typical scholar is very exclusive, available only to students in specific academic programs or through toll-access scholarly publications that are essentially unavailable to all but the most privileged. In the digital age, the traditional...

Who Wants to Live in the Real World?
by David Heinemeier
The Real World must be a truly depressing place to live. It’s apparently a realm where new ideas, unfamiliar approaches, and foreign concepts always lose. I’m told that the only thing that works in The Real World is what its inhabitants already know and already do. No matter how flawed or inefficient that way may be.
People who live there are said to be living Real Life. An...

You are never truly private. As long as you are within society, you will always be trans-apparent through the traces you leave relationally. Only escape: “A HEART THAT CONCEALS AND THE TONGUE THAT NEVER REVEALS” ~ from Freemason pitcher @ Musee D’Aquitaine. Woe on the Heart that does not conceal & the Tongue that reveals, but still expects sovereignty over self. To be social...

Leaving Lesta
I had a long talk with a homeless man at the train station this morning, though he did most of the talking. He described himself as “51 years old, never had a passport, never married, never had kids — what a boring life ey? Well it’s a life, isn’t it?”. He shared a lot of what he knew with me; near-perfect mental maps of the city centre, sports trivia, etc. He told me...

n3rdc0r3 n1t3s - for @droppar
based on something posted elsewhere, november 2008.
I’ve had two very nerdcore nites in a row; first Hot Chip, and then the Student Union’s ‘Retro’, so it’s quite appropriate to write about both in one post. Yesterday’s gig was a fantastic spectacle, and the band really outdid themselves translating their sound to the The Venue’s stage. They had all these...

The World Left and Iranian Elections
via @pareidoliac:
One of its most fascinating consequences (of the Iran election) has been the deep divisions in this worldwide discussion among persons who consider themselves part of the world left.
