@kawaiipunk @camille interesting... Been reading that off and on, didn't get there yet. Not 100% sure what he's getting at here

@douginamug @camille probably the comedown as a metaphor for post fordist alienation

@kawaiipunk @camille hmm... Didn't realize Fordism was such a trip for the workers... But maybe the stability and relatively high wages seemed good then!

@douginamug @camille Mixed bag! It was the period of lowest wealth inequality ever known but obviously required workers (inculding social reproduction) in the imperial core to submit to the whims of industrial production.

@douginamug @camille checkout "Motown and postfordist entertainment" episodes on the love is the message podcast if you want a fun listen on this topic through the lens of music.

@camille @kawaiipunk OK, just finished "Post capitalist desire" this morning. Phew. Will have to write something.

It feels mad... psychadelic? Brief moments of illumination in an otherwise confusing and overwhelming melange of stimulus.

Wait, just the one lecture? Or the whole book? That was fast! I'm still working on it. Yeah, I think it's supposed to be psychedelic.
