Not a bad primer, I must say.
This is some of the worst nonsense I have heard in awhile.Alternative reality?
Great video, also maybe a bit of Levinas and his notion of the absolute separateness of the Other would help
Great video. Subscribed
Thank you! Glad you find value in this work.
The fact that the ideology is still very real unlike other ideologies such as absolute monarchy and communism tells me its actually next the stage of development after liberal capitalism. It just got suppressed for a time. (Much like the liberal revolution in Germany in 1848)
Good stuff! Cool name!

I wonder if a connection can be made between the concepts of Blanchot's desoeuvrement and Simondon's disindividuation that occurs amid transindividual processes of phycic and collective individuation.
I'd have to look more closely at Simondon, but it's important for Nancy and Blanchot that the negativity of désœuvrement not simply fold into a dialectical relationship with a constituent or positive gesture. I would argue this is the trouble with the move they are making: you can't just have one side of an oppositional logic. That said, there's more going on than a simple inversion of a framework; they are attempting to use the negativity to unsettle a deeply entrenched metaphysical habit expressed in and through the constitution of community. Here I suppose I am more Deleuzian, and I think I am more sympathetic to the language of counter-effectuation than inoperativity.
very cool, Craig. I wish I had more input on this beyond "I need to read Blanchot", lol. have a lovely rest of your week :D
I recommend this book!
Besides the three interviews about him on Hermitix, which are all excellent in their own way, Oskar has a fantastic reading of _The Song of The Sirens_ up, and a channel called “classic audio archive” has a very good reading of _Madness of the Day_ (my favorite so far). But that’s all the Blanchot I’ve been able to find on TH-cam; I loved it so much that I’m desperate to find some more myself!
phuck yeah
Second ^_^
Better late than never 👍
I'm so here for this
A hug from Brazil. Love your work
Thank you!
Saints of the Impossible is a wild book everyone interested in Bataille or Weil should read, I recall it flips Weil's rationality and championing of life on its head, read through Bataille/Blue of Noon. Did you get to read it Craig? Always thought Weil read through Bataille would be to your liking. I read she may have gotten the concept of Tzimtzum in a roundabout way through Schelling, wish I could find the source again. Kenosis is also a related term, I guess. Wish she had more time to reckon with her shortcomings 😔 I was shocked when I learned Novis was Kenny's actual name haha
Let's GOOOOO!
Yesss!!!! Funny coincidence, Simone Weil used to go by the pen name Emile Novis.
I'm happy to see more people exploring the work of James Hillman! Check my channel for more deep dives on Hillman, Jung, Alchemy and Philosophy etc. youtube.com/@howlinthewilderness
Oh this was sooo good! I have a curious relationship with Peterson ! He is literally about 2 months older then me. We were both born in 1962. Hes a cancer I am ,Im a Leo and just that's a simplistic take but just the start of our differences. So there are commonalities and differences. I've been into Jung since I was 18 ,I was deeply into Christianity from 18-28..but I lost my faith or it dissolved and I got heavily into Hillman became a therapist but not a scientific phycologist. From Hillman i got into Ric Tarnas and archetypal astrology/cosmology. I don't feel threatened by queerness although I'm a straight man( no ambiguity...I just love women) and I love and respect difference. Peterson alienates me with his self-righteous anger.... The world is so much more complex than our theories. Keep up the work...I'm writing slowly about all the stuff you talk about from my perspective not the truth just another perspective. I would love to hear your take on Ric Tarnas and Archetypal Cosmology . For me its the missing key, the revolution we have to have, the bridge to indigenous cultures.... thoughts welcome.
Was the BwO a concept in Anti-Oedipus? I thought A Thousand Plateaus.
It's all over Deleuze's and D&G's work. It's on the last page of Proust and Signs, You can find it in The Logic of Sense, an its in both AO and ATP...and elsewhere besides!
It gets its power from the Lost Arc of The Covenant
A superb couple of lectures and erudite analysis. There is much to think about.
Cheers. Hope you stop by again.
this is one of the most well spoken and clearly explained video essays i’ve ever listened to, major props.
Thank you. I appreciate your kind words.
It's never been personal, it's just business. God bless.
please make a video on stirner
it's psychological structure is a reaction to bolshevism. Communism/bolshevism is a reverse of everything natural and grounded in prosperity and reality, it introduced internationalism as an aggressive genocidal ideology, so therefore there came a reaction against that. Natural Order which, as symbolically presented, means the diametrical opposite to internationalism. Preservation of nations and preservation of their culture and character, which comes from Blood. While internationalism strives to distort that blood and to do away with it, to the end goal which is removal of nations.
All blood is red. If you want to divide blood into categories, why stop at ethnicities and nations? Why not bring back the old feudal nobles and serfdom then? In fact why not reintroduce the caste system, so that some whites will be Shudras and some will be Brahmins? In fact, this is what the far right is already suggesting, albeit they keep a lid on it lest they alienate the european working class. As for prosperity, the Left has done wonders in curbing child mortality, crushing urban poverty and industrializing parts of the world. We are not interested in the prosperity of the magnates, which they covered in a cloak of the natural Law
Subbed. Glad you’re throwing your hat into the TH-cam philosophy sphere!
Thanks. More to come in the next few weeks.
the best social and economic system, a system that predicted the attempted internationalist genocide and replacement and tried to stop it
Fascism is a vibes-based ideology.
Fascist parties are funded by capitalists, always. The NSDAP by the 1930s had the full support of perhaps most of the Western ruling class. Fascism doesn't rise because Left movements fail. They rise because they are more than able to exterminate communists. Why be historical about such critical facts? Fine conspectus you're giving us, and it seems to come so easily to you! But I must wonder if these talks aren't also vehicles to divide emerging leftist tendencies in the Homeland. You made several steeply critical assertions and characterizations concerning the motivation and intent of criticisms of so-called identity politics. Shouldn't we rather be organizing a mass movement, promoting solidarity along shared interests? Please explain why we must purify our comrades' of racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, climate change denial, spooky religious belief, and other misguided or uninformed beliefs before uniting around our common problem. Aren't solidarity and education the way to engender equality? We went through it before, in the 1960s, with some considerable success. Please excuse my bluntness, but some of our best philosophers have come straight out of Langley. Towering figures they were. (My request: Marcuse.)
a good friend of mine once said, "if you think people can put aside transphobia to get around the real problem you understand neither transphobia nor the reality of the problem"
@@LEPHTHAND That's an answer of sorts. But instead of an enigma, couldn't you rather outline the problem in terms that can be interrogated? I'm not being argumentative, having unsubscribed from one left channel for gratuitous or pandering anti-trans statements myself.
The short version is that effective struggle against capitalism also involves the struggle against its forms of governance and its institutional norms. This includes everything from the dominant medical model to the practices that reinforce gender norms. A path to liberation which merely seeks to apply red paint to the model of liberal governance or simply repurpose institutions towards socialist ends (including gender and the family) reveals a misapprehension of their mutually entwined logics. The same goes for racism, the climate crisis, and so on. These are not ancillary issues in the struggle against capital; their very existence as we know them today presupposes capital and its organs of regulation.
@LEPHTHAND There is nothing for any Marxist to disagree with on this fundamental analysis. Liberal governance and the medical model are, in fact, the norm for transgender issues. Although we must expect bourgeois forms (including the family as it now exists) to persist initially, liberal governance will be pulled out at the root. Medical workers (most) will be happy to abandon commodification and consumerism. Everyone agrees with this.
A worthy part 2.
Here to serve.
Severe ownage
damn hitler and mussolini been REAL quiet since the second part dropped
Huh, coincidentally after I posted about the limitations I perciebed in Batailles theory I also went and started reading Toscano's Late Fascism. Looking forward to this episode.
After going back and forth between Bataille and Toscano, I believe there’s a way to read Bataille that gets us out of some of the critiques with regard to the incubation and expression of fascistic tendencies within the homogenous realm. The tough one for Bataille to overcome is how these tendencies have become inscribed within social institutions, such as in trade unions that adopt a chauvinistic character or find common cause with the interests of capital. The argument that Bataille’s view only works to describe a historical moment which ensues failed revolutions and is marked by fully fledged party fascism is compelling.
I finished listening to the first part yesterday, and your analysis was intriguing and very engaging. Phenomenal work, though I admit, I had to look more into what Bataille meant by social homogeneity and heterogeneity because I kept thinking of it along racial/ethnic lines.
I appreciate your kind words and I hope you continue to find some value in this work.

Amazing. So happy this was in my feed ❤❤ I Love Acid Horizon
Fucking finally don’t know who you are but you are spieling the shit I absolutely adore
How do people become not-fascist?
Why not ?😂
The left is based in dialectic materialism, not mysticism, lol
Becoming fascist is so tempting. It’s like junk food, or drugs: It feels great Short term but I know in the long term it’s not good for me or the host organism (society). I choose not to indulge in it, but I get it.
Great stuff! I'd love to hear more about how this need for ethico-aesthetic paradigms relates to current schizoanalysts like Erin Manning's Pragmatics of the Useless with her valuing of autistic perception and other modalities of neurodiverse knowledge production, or Brian Massumi's Animal Politics with his view of the 'Integral Animal' as a new overman.
When is part 2?
Thursday or Friday of this week!
@@LEPHTHAND Wonderful. Thank you Young man I enjoy your TV video programs!
Great vid. I find the quasi-shamanic discourse towards the end from Devin especially elucidatory, but the topics covered overall are very well related in a digestible manner.
Devin has taught me a lot about Nietzsche and helped me solidify some of my own inchoate views on his work. Glad you benefited from the discussion!
The Left is perverted, refuses to accept naturally prevailing conditions and seems to hate existence. Fascism is just another mutation of Socialism generated by Marxist theory....Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on us and our world ☦ 🙏 🌍 🙏☦
Halfway through. This stuff is pretty fascinating. As someone more science minded, are these narratives more scientific or philosophical? Like, do you learn this stuff in sociology? Maybe it's a whole video on its own?
Great question. The short answer is that I subscribe to the view that there is difference between the enterprises of philosophy and science, but they ultimately rely upon each other; there are "diagrammatic lines" (to quote philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari) which connect philosophical invention with the empirical methods of science. Bataille is doing a form of sociology here which depends on Marx's earlier empirical observation of capitalism and its observable expropriation of surplus from labor. Bataille then uses the concepts of homogeneity and heterogeneity to create a general typology of included and excluded groups to analyize the dynamics of social exclusion and its impact on the cohesiveness of a social whole. Ultimately, Bataille makes empirical claims that must be justified on the adequacy of their explanatory power. But the concepts he develops must maintain an internal consistency amidst a discussion of the adequacy of claims he makes about states of affairs in society. In short, sociology is a science, but the coarse grained methodology employed here reveals the necessity of conceptual creativity demanded in such an approach.
