1/15 Why Derrida is better than Deleuze.
Deleuze requires irreducible and unrepresentable difference. Being sub-representational, it can only be derived a priori as a transcendental condition for representable differences.

- Replying to @DrTomOSheaThis is terrible news. We're no longer in a political environment where critical thought and analysis are valued.
- Replying to @ArtyArtHistoryIf you're improvising around a standard tune like 'I got Rhythm' you have a 32 bar, AABA form, centered in B flat but modulating into D for the middle 8. You need to understand II-V-I cadences, the altered forms of chords and related modes... Lotsa form in other words...
- So here's the cover reveal for my new book Xenoerotics, now available from amazonwith that Platonic ideal image from @SiratoriKenji. Thanks to @_gobbet_ for his patient editing, to @Nina_Compact , B R Yeager, Tom Bland, @ElsbyCharlene for their generous endorsements.

- Replying to @matress_islandThe Universe of Prometheus feels small and Christianised compared to the vast scale and bracing Darwinian pessimism of Alien. It also has some egregiously silly dialogue.

- Replying to @JohnMappin @Nigel_Farage and @reformparty_ukAnd for his next miracle, Farage will raise the dead, walk on water, cure cancer, and immanentize the eschaton! Maybe he could part the English Channel while he's at it?
- This talk with Daniel Smith on Leibniz, Deleuze's conception of time, incompossibility, difference and continuity, and why embryology should displace phenomenology, is one of the richest philosophical podcasts I've ever heard. A gem. @unconscioushh on.soundcloud.com/1WxFv
- Replying to @LBCThis is the right decision. There's no basis in jurisprudence for treating deportation as a punishment and anyone who has been living here since they were a child should be protected as a citizen not rendered stateless on a technicality or as a sop to racist Tory supporters.
