I also think the concept (or is it a figure?) of the super-fold as '' unlimited finity '' still resonates today even with our evolving mediatic techs. It seems to me that the notion of the Information Age was already at work in genetics, quantum-mechs and other scientific disciplines, and the computer is just the time-managing media we ''project'' on the universe, kind of the way thinkers used to say that the cosmos was a Clockwork. I'd say it is still a sound idea to work with today.
I would agree that some technology doesn't change that fast in terms of larger concepts, but in terms of trying to keep pace as a web developer, things move very quickly. I'm not quite sure what the definition of "Critical theorist" is, but I find most people studying the thinkers under those course labels study Deleuze.
I used to be into Critical Theory and now study computer programming, The logic of actually working with computers seems completely foreign and outside the realm of Critical Theory. I like Deleuze's strange metaphors for things, but how would he have any insights into our computer age, especially today? Things change so fast, especially how people actually use technology. For example, the iPhone was so exciting just a couple years ago, now it's normalized and people see it for its function
But how have things evolved so far as to render Deleuze's concepts e.g. of the super-fold obsolete? I find this and other concepts presented / interpreted by Galloway as vital for critical thinking today - and probably in the next decade (until we start massively using AI machines and other new forms of life). Could be more precise, and give a few examples?
if we look at the virtual of difference and repetition, then, the virtual is a plane of past, present, future; of becoming potential. You are right. I think though, in D's Postscripts, this is actually an interesting reading of virtual and is perhaps not far fetched.
I don't know about you, I tend to be ill informed when it comes to the speed at which these developments are taking place. I said "next decade" only approximately. Do you have an opinion on what I was asking in the previous comment? Sure, Deleuze didn't get to see and assess the importance of the Web 1.0, and Web 2.0 but I don't think that reneders his writings completely useless for us.
Ah, thanks for the clarification:)... Would the term Critical Theorists just refer to that group of thinkers, who are philosophers doing philosophy, or is there some aspect of the type of philosophy the Frankfurt School was doing that would differentiate it from philosophy and connect it to the term "Critical Theory" ... my prior understanding of the term was that it denoted a politicized form of philosophy in general, which concerns itself more with culture than other types of philosophy.
Wouldn't hold my breath waiting for AI machines and other new forms of life. I reckon we're certainly centuries away from such developments, if we ever make it that far.
This is Heidegger's lagacy speaking- the young white male techie intellectual is the most contempuous hateful bunch of men, it makes me want to become a Marxist. He is angry that everyone has forgotten or hates his most beloved Heidegger, and the century is Deleuzean. But the arrogance to claim a philosopher's 40-year span of work is reduced to a 2000 word essay he approves of - he is not interested in Deleuze. Meanwhile, his own handling of art in his books is remedial, so its clear he isn't up to reading or understanding or making these judgements about Deleuze. He also should read David Graeber, since he sounds confused about Anarchism. Blowing up things is NOT anarchism, its terrorism, its called state military.

I'm too sleep deprived for this right now bruh lmdao😂😂
loved this talk
good talk
That's the thing, like iphones I bring up. Technology has been integrated as a biopolitical mechanism because it has been so normalized.
Wouldn't hold my breath waiting for AI machines and other new forms of life. I reckon we're certainly centuries away from such developments, if we ever make it that far.
hey, what would you say about that today?
Or today
aged like milk
Or today?

+RCarsen He's not reducing Deleuze's work to a 2000 word essay, he's delimiting the scope of his own talk.
lol Alex Galloways is absolutely *non* confused about anarchism, mate; considering he studied with Negri/Hardt and Fred Jameson...
