21st century American urbanism - rewild the city - dangerously-skip-permissions
- Here's my translation of Giorgio Agamben's recent text, "On Artificial Intelligence and Natural Stupidity." Agamben suggests that imagination is the key to the present situation, as it is the critical bond linking individuals with separate intelligence. But he asks, what happens
- Imo Thiel is an extremely clear, precise, and I’d say *sincere* writer and speaker. He is thoughtful, takes time to articulate what he really means. Why, then, is so much effort put into labeling him esoteric, difficult, obscure, schizophrenic?> Is it likely that what Peter Thiel has to say about the antichrist is in any meaningful way predictive out-of-sample? No, not very likely > Does his recent schizophrenic detour still serve a massively integral (primarily aesthetic) role within the broad "tech-right"
- Replying to @JoyceCarolOatesThis style of withering condescension toward anyone who believes that even the profane world contains miracles is the dominant mode of academic and cultural thought and it must be destroyed
- So interesting that Rem Koolhaas was in Paris for May 68 and made Delirious New York to counter its legacy. He wrote, “After 1968, there was a tremendous moral pressure on architecture to be useful, to be good, to be part of the solution. Architects became social workers…had to
- U go to wine bar with gf and make small talk— Bryan Johnson wakes up at 4am or when he pleases cleans his mouth, take his inner ear temp, gets 10000 lux into his eyes, monitors his home air temp, exercises, sauna, has delicious breakfast of ideally dosed and third party tested 50My bedtime has arrived. Here's what's going to happen. After I finish writing this post, screens are off. Wash face. Clean mouth. Hair serums. While listening to An Immense World. Will sit on my couch and process the day. Need to listen to all the Bryan's and what's on
- There is a widening gap between people who a) have given themselves over to cybernetic networks and flows and swarms and see from that immanent network vantage point, and b) are still operating in subject/object, art/internet mode, trying to understand new realities usingWhat "Posting is the New Art" (it should be familiar— tenet 2 of the New Net Art Manifesto) describes is actually nearly a perfect opposite of Brad Treomel's "aesthlete" analyzing the very real phenomenon of 2010's post-internet generation artists becoming content slaves
- Ok here’s a take- it is interesting to consider Remilia vis-à-vis the bulk of art/theory produced over past decade. Since 2012 entire cultural industry was consumed by politics and panic, including re climate change—apocalypse, the end of the world were the big themes aroundThis isn’t a contradiction. Milady’s radical love stance is a response to the clearpilled true landian accelerationist realism recognition of our apocalyptic condition. We explained all this: “Radical love through the End-times is the only vibe that Vibes. Miya’s kali/acc
- Replying to @Anc_AestheticsTo fight this the new right needs to own and assert itself explicitly *as* the new right, distinct from old, with an explicit, dynamic vision adequate to the energies that produced 2024
- Replying to @expatanonWhat's even left to say about a society that talks this way about the beauty of life itself
- Nostalgia is a disease, retvrn is neither possible nor desirable. Nothing is in decline, nothing’s missing, man is a bridge and must be continually overcome — the only interesting question is what’s nexti kinda miss the days when everything wasn't computer
- Replying to @feelsdesperateI think it's less misunderstanding and more a concerted campaign to destroy MAGA by 1) asserting Fuentes as the face of the right and 2) portraying Vance as a hostage to his (and Tucker's) voting bloc (specter of Groyper war 2)
- Replying to @PontifexVirilio described the cyber city: "Note how the illusion of proximity barely lasts. Where once the polis inaugurated a political theater, with its agora and its forum, now there is only a cathode-ray screen, where the shadows and specters of a community dance amid their processes
- Replying to @Kurt_SteinerIt's an apparatus, 99% of the time tied to climate crisis hysteria
