>it is not a bad thing to be a failed artist, it just tells us something about our disciplinary society and our world. Kittler was just honest not only to himself when he reminded us that most of the professors in literature are failed poets, most of the cultural theoreticians and critics are more or less failed artists or unhappy curators, and most of the professors in philosophy probably never had a chance to become "real" philosophers.

>Kittler - as he described himself - was entirely Pythagorean. That is the school he claimed to be in. That this type of "ideal" thinking has been overcome - just a bit more than two-hundred years ago - did not bother him. It just happened that he eventually lectured on the Dionysian aspects of Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison, or on Pink Floyd. He did not write songs - as far as I know - but he played saxophone to us, his students and followers, especially when he wanted to ease our souls at his house. Thus, in a way, in his demonic way, he - not on stage, but on campus - was a singer, too.

this. this speaks volumes to me. it's easy to get art mixed up with philosophy; indeed, it's arguably necessary. feels > reals. so now what i like is this idea of some kind of separation, but that doesn't immediately regress into dualism, but a kind of a conscientious holism.

i got into this mess by trying to figure out philosophical fiction, and failing, repeatedly. i failed enough to wind up reading a sizeable chunk of the canon just to be able to finish a fucking writing project. and now i realize that there *is* no fucking other, that virtue matters, and all the rest. it just does. not because reasons. but because anything other than a one-world system is an offense to thought.

philosophy and analysis are good for helping people un-fail, i think. so that they can make art or do whatever the fuck they need to do to be happy and make some positive impact on the world (>>9820540). but inevitably i submit that the art thereby produced will be philosophical in nature, and is going to lead on to new and interesting stuff for philosophers &c. and so it goes: art, science, philosophy. the letter, the number, the symbol. all connected, all interwoven. an enlightened culture produces enlightened individuals, and enlightened individuals, *more* enlightened individuals. just a good look all round.

>Capital will dissolve in segmented accelerated areas while resource is traded for legitimate reasons. Capital = communicating a legitimised symbol of value'
yup
one part of a global brain sends signals to another

forgive me for playing armchair psychtard here but does not compute. b/c imho that's the whole thing. if you *knew* what to do that might very well be *just more ideology.* if you *know* you don't have all the answers you're already beyond the law. hate is the new love & manifestly uncynical not-knowing is the new fucking coolness imho.
>tfw you are attempting to cross the jungian/freudian streams
>tfw you sound like the Hortator

i won't give any advice but i am 100% convinced that there is a polarity/circuitry thing going on between Orpheus & Hades over there in pic rel. it's not one or the other, it's fucking *both.* or whatever mythological allegory works best for Jung. has to be. dive deep w/freud, come back up w/jung. but only once the shadow/animus is *fully* disclosed and you can actually fucking *identify what it is that is triggering you.*
>tfw it's not even that complicated. just read literally *all* of the shit that connects to your thing and eventually you don't have to do fucking *anything* except state what you have therein learned. there is no other. there is only the extant knowledge of the problem & you there looking at it. whatever it is. whatever

petersoning so hard right now. deleuzifying also but j-pete has some seriously dope shit going on. i think he's right. but it only makes sense for him to be as right as he is once a certain threshold is crossed. and someday in the not so distant future when universities are full of jung-quoting ideologues instead of marx-quoting fucknuts it will be time to go back to freud again. how could it be any other way.

idk my man. but here's to synchronicity in the meantime. sorry for sounding like an overly-excited goofball, it's just that a few things unlocked for me recently & i'm feeling slightly unclenched. good luck w/the animus. few things are more fucking interesting or more relevant. good luck
