Climate change is a weapon of primitive accumulation
Climate change has disproportionately negative effects on poorer countries and people of color, and disproportionally positive effects on receiving countries that benefit from hyper-exploitable and precious labor – what I call a ‘reserve climate labor army.’ This asymmetry is the result ...

What is an object? One interesting way to avoid the problem of getting the subject and object back together to secure knoweldge is by not introducing the division in the first place. What if everything was only objects? We could then think of the subject as a highly composite type ...

The highest formal act of the philosophical Decision through which philosophical faith in the real enables the latter to be posited as the Real in an illusory way.

Der funktionelle Psychopath – Wahn von der Stange
Die seit dem Jahre 1980 im Zuge der neoliberalen Transformationen stattfindenden Umstrukturierungen waren es auch, die das finanzialisierte Risikosubjekt in die Individuen introjizierten, womit der autoritäre Charakter und der narzisstische Typus schleichend, aber doch in einer kurzen historischen Zeitspanne abgelöst wurden, wobei ...

I won’t bring up Lacan on Monday. But the non-encounter between Stiegler and Lacan recently struck me as important and I wanted to try to unravel the mystery…
Stiegler wrote frequently about technology and technical objects. But how does he compare to one of the key object theories, psychoanalysis? Surprisingly ...
In order to determine the characteristics of non-philosophy, we frame it in opposition to an image of an established paradigm: Deconstruction (as suggested by Jean-Luc Nancy in La deconstruction du christianisme).1 We comment on this image, we add to it, we transform it. It is a simple image of Deconstruction, ...
Nietzsche invents a typology of boredom, in which boredom is initially a positive sign for the life of the scholar, while the ordinary thinker flees from boredom and seeks diversion with his participation in the entertainment machines, fashion, music and art, travel or sports, all the codings or symbolic-communicative conceptions ...
Die Abwehr von Verschwörungstheorien ist gegenwärtig nur die Abwehr, überhaupt strukturiert über ökonomische, militärische und politische Prozesse nachzudenken. Man verpaßt so die Geschichte und ihre Wendepunkte, denn die Geschichte ist selbstverständlich voller Verschwörungen, vollzieht sich nicht von selbst. Und man verabschiedet sich von jedem Gedanken, sich vielleicht selbst gegen diese ...
Marxism may have “lacked” the Real and tied its fate to the history-world. It may have consequently lacked the theory according-to-the-Real of this history-world. These are not just some “observations,” but a new style of theoretical hypotheses. They assume a “program” as much as they ...
Nietzsche erfindet eine Typologie der Langeweile, in der die Langeweile zunächst ein positives Zeichen für das Leben des Gelehrten ist, während der gewöhnliche Denker vor der Langweile flieht und Zerstreuung mit seiner Teilhabe in den Unterhaltungsmaschinerien sucht, Mode, Musik und Kunst, im Reisen oder im Sportbetrieb, all den Codierungen bzw. ...
