Seems like Mount Leinster has tiptoed across the width of County Carlow to become "Kilkenny's highest mountain" according to #dng's @elladunphy

Yeah, I have to agree. I know a couple of serious Deleuzian scholars who make arguments in books that are thought-provoking. These are erudite, hard-working writers, & I think DnG‘s What is Philosophy & AntiOed are worth knowing. The problem is I can barely understand a word of online Deleuzians.

You can see this made explicit in DnG's choice of term "desiring production" (which effectively translates Spinoza's conatus within the human/social field), and even their stance towards "anti-production". The imperative is: Produce!

Interesting. DnG's human "assemblages" and the blurring of the machine-human inter-relations may have anchorage in Wiener's Anti-Aircraft predictor, and the cybernetic (dehumanizing) treatment of human pilots and their aircraft as man-machine enemies.

I've got over 1 mill .dng's on disk. And I see a lot of 'photographs' on here. But I reckon this one of the best I've seen. Kudos.

some of this flowing from discussion of Heidegger's concept of "rootedness", and DnG's answer to that with the rhizome.
May 13, 2025 at 9:02 AM
It is arguable that DnG's rhizome, which has no central root (non-arboreal) is meant to undo the racializing, Nationalistic character of H's rootedness, but in flattening out ontologies may lose out on the power of diverse lineages of tradition, the power of the dialect (even as they celebrate minor

I suspect that a layer of depth is within DnG's wasp-orchid example, the ways that similitude (something that appears as a "copy", sometimes seen as deceptive), allows jumps between very different regimes of meaning or organization...how for instance the human appearance of mandrake influenced...

note to self:
IN conversation this came up again, "a continual decombination of bound actants" (I think its from Schelling.)

Here we have DnG's "assemblages" and the eigenform of Autopoiesis but under a regime of continue repair and re-weaving, which I'd argue produces variation & change.

Reminds me of DnG's summation of the 3 affects of the tick:

"(the first has to do with light [climb to the top of a branch]; the second is olfactive [let yourself fall onto the mammal that passes beneath the branch]; and the third is thermal [seek the area without fur, the warmest spot]"

Deleuze and DnG's targets, rhetorically/polemically but also metaphysically, are (often?) wrongly directed at negative feedback, conservative interiors, not appreciating how they work with, in great complexity, positive feedback (flights!). Deleuze's game with difference follows the same problem.
April 16, 2025 at 9:26 AM
And coincidentally, or not, this plays out in DnG's (relative) suppression of the "re-" in the de- and re- territorialization dyad...which is one of my main difficulties with them.

I think best practice is probably to have a full backup of the DNG's both locally and in the cloud. I probably wouldn't archive the JPEGs unless you really like the rendering and can't easily replicate the look in Lightroom.

In other thinkers, perhaps, but in Deleuze & in DnG's hands the "repetition" of the Same becomes the source of the pathological...ultimately culminating in the suicidal or fascist. Every (re)territory, arbor, habit, "return", Same is at least rhetorically positioned as impeding "natural" becoming...
April 11, 2025 at 8:48 AM
I think this eruptive isolationism can be seen in DnG's BwO's, the way in which it, cut off from desiring production (desiring machines erased, detached), given a smooth, virgin skin, practically erupts with potentials, becomings. rhetorically toward Seed without soil, egg without uterus.
April 10, 2025 at 9:18 AM
making of the past a vast reservoir, a trove of capacities. And not the be-dumbed circulation of "bare repetition", the empty forwarding of mere "habit". In this way we are able to break out of the Cult of the New, which I think characterizes many of DnG's valorizations of lines of flight.

valuation in some of Deleuze & DnG's work. They don't state in those terms, but to me it sits there underneath many of their descriptions & diagnoses. This sense that Same/Repetition is "forcing conformity", against the *natural* tide of difference...with a social meaning.

So, @googlephotos doesn't accept DNG's as a valid file format :( Why not, is my question...

Getting errors uploading NEF's & DNG's through Transmit AND JungleDisk. It has to be something with Amazon S3. Right?
