After tinkering with it for ages, I finally finished writing an explainer for Deleuze's concept of 'univocity'. It doubles as a gentle exposition of chapter 1 of Difference and Repetition, which I hope newcomers to the book might find helpful!

It's sick, a sickness equal to the crimes but it extends it also in its own way. I'm not sure that there's any 'proper' measure of reaction to any of this which is itself part of the abyss of the crime.

God I hate the atmosphere of cloying salaciousness that hangs about all this Epstein stuff like humidity. Like, there's an oogling element, like wow, we can see the dirty underside and it's horrible but also in this barely concealed way really exciting for people.

The whole of F&T is basically K insisting on just how utterly imperceptible Abraham is, raging against all those readings that would subject him to apparatuses of capture. Squint, and Abraham becomes the figure less of faith than of the sui generis.

Deleuze's incommensurabilities just happen to be worldly and, rather than occasions to exalt the divine, are opportunities to compose the New, to lay out planes of consistency presided over by the immanence and transcendence of Problems.

The Deleuzian case for reading a shit ton of Kierkegaard is that K is an explorer of the incommensurable above all. It doesn't take much to read Fear & Trembling as a book not about faith but about becoming-imperceptible.

— explodes all restricted economy and opens into the infinite, while for Niezsche the transworldly is exactly the cause and the most dominant way in which restricted economy is introduced into the world. Only the world taken unto itself has no measure.

Ahhh the difference and similarities between Kierkegaard and Nietzsche are so interesting because they're both raging against an 'economic' conception of being which levels everything out into exchange and debt, but for K the solution to this is precisely the transworldy which –

She should have won the Nobel peace prize but silencing her and her people was the goal of the tiktiok ban. I cried with her so many times. I will never forget the horrors we all saw and how the masses learned about Palestine and tried to stop it. TikTok's algorithm fed our empathy and educated us.

Kierkegaard makes for an interesting paring with Bataille of all people. If for B there is both a restricted and general economy, for K there is a restricted and divine economy. In Derrida the distinction between the divine and the general become... undecidable.

I know everybody wants to feel optimistic about Carney, Macron, Merz et al talking about a new post-RBIO system, but remember that they’re only panicking now because the structural barbarism is banging on their own doors. They don’t want to remedy it; just sustain its redirection.

So far the "Board of Peace" is Trump, Orban, Lukaschenko and Netanyahu.
Which if you wrote in a satire would be considered too outlandish and sent back.

A not-insignificant part of the reactions of incredulity about Greenland is that Danes are not the Right Kind of People for This Kind of Thing to happen to.
