I know I’m not the first to make this observation but is psychoanalysis just the physic analogy for thermodynamics? Reading Bion, and concluding he would love state functions, hysteresis, etc.

I’m still getting better at podcasting, so apologies for the awkwardness, but Mac and I made time to blabber about dialectical biology! I definitely think you should read the book, and extend ideology critique to science proper. The book also helps you fight racists, so you should read it for that 2

happy 6am to those who celebrate: a set of short (mostly unpublished) & strange theoretical texts on the affinities of intellect & domination from Pollock’s early 40’s reports to Horkheimer about discussions in Paul Tillich’s NY salon!

I am increasingly distressed by the thought that university level teaching no longer can meaningfully advance the cause of humanistic progress. one shows up far too late on the scene for students who have by and large already been violently deskilled and stripped of any hope. it is heartbreaking.

Please take some time to read Morain’s great two-part essay on conservative violence. A entirely too sober recounting on the basic unity of right reaction.
NEW: Part I of "Reflections on the Right and its Violence" by J. E. Morain
This essay on reactionary violence seeks to show the basic unity behind conservative acts of social murder, neo-nazi terror attacks, and everything in between.

Went to the National library today, and I’m pretty sure I saw every conceivable edition and translation of Ibn Khaldun’s Muqaddimah. The environment and ecology (not included below) section was also sick as hell!
