I post the only way forward for America is the civil discourse between Americans insofar as the only way forward for all people is civil discourse between one and other. We ought to sonder the schism, not in the non-player character sense alone, but in the secondary player sense, using our power to sense what escapes us discursively to allow “the other self” the opportunity to deconstruct our initial discursive self until all living human organisms have fully vetted the sensory experience
„Anaxagoras and Parmenides had a listener named Socrates… until now there was no such thing as mind and matter, subject and object, form and substance.“ -Robert Pirsig
And so the cracks in the structure of knowledge go deep to the PreSocratics. Socrates‘ hidden world of „truth and justice“ was as fanciful as the rhetoricians he wishes to criticize. And think of how much of our legal system is based on the „Socratic Method“ used to teach in most American law schools. But wait….theres more….
Rhizomatically, we could combine the benefits of coalition government from European pastures with the diffuse capabilities of the tri-cameral system from American pastures. Simultaneously done there would be no need for world government. Only an understanding in the stratosphere of human understanding that present human emotion is valued over historical accuracy. Let’s evolve together

For THEM, I interviewed the amazing Ruth Madievsky about her novel ALL NIGHT PHARMACY that came out yesterday:

This Debut Novel Is a Queer, Pill-Fueled Los Angeles Odyssey

Psychics, pills, and sobriety loom large in Ruth Madievsky’s ‘All-Night Pharmacy.’

I feel safe posting on mastodon
New definition(in the form of a question):
what is stratified into an assemblage (agencement) through traumatic similitude?
New definition of ‘Schizophrenia’- when the mind has been so impacted by trauma that the persons sense of reality “noclips” into the liminal space.
The first day of Summer:
#karlpopper critiques #Plato yet #Socrates is unscathed. #whatisphilosophy by #deleuzeandguattari says “Socrates constantly made all discussions impossible “ as if there is some immutable truth that he had access too. But that temporal existence is no more. Question everything Socrates? Ok, Yes. Accept the refutable truth we learn Mr. Popper? Yes, because of the sciencetific method. Accepting a philosophy as Truth, even for that moment, is an oversimplification of the complexity of truth
@garymarcus loved your Ezra Klein interview. In “Theses on the philosophy of history” Walter Benjamin critiques historical materialism. This has implications for A.I. How can we expect intelligence if chatgpt or AI, only mixes up combinations of known phrases, ideas and discourses? The authors of the guardrails can make rules that serve their interests, aka use a.i. as a power structure. Truthfulness comes from asking questions. AI is focused on answering questions.
