Thank you @bnerlich.bsky.social this is a really nice text! I might use this for teaching. Reading it I was wondering how the contrast 1975/2025 points to a shift in science governance rationalities, which (so it seemed) have almost entirely given up on the idea of governability of emerging tech?

@desfitzgerald.bsky.social I just saw this. It’s a bit longer but I think it’s a really interesting reading of Nolan’s interpretation — as an Odyssian move, so to say. Don’t agree with everything, but worth watching www.facebook.com/share/v/1Nz9...

Yes, I agree. the chism between homecoming (recognition of violence) and revenge (its repetition) remains unexplored. (And yes, given the 250m budget, the film could have been much richer - in storytelling and in interpretation)

Dont agree “war is bad” was the entire message. I see it as intervention into contemporary geopolitics & military conflict. The odyssey as (quasipsychotic) response to unbearable guilt; the price one pays (individually and as society) for violating the symbolic order (intl law).

Europa: „Die EU reagierte unterdessen #zurückhaltend. Kommissionspräsidentin Ursula von der Leyen #erinnerte an das Völkerrecht, verzichtete aber auf direkte Kritik. Die EU-Außenbeauftragte Kaja Kallas #mahnte zur Einhaltung des Völkerrechts und #rief zur „Zurückhaltung“ auf.“

Agree. Perhaps it’s worth now revisiting Wilhelm Reich! (The Reich before his “orgon-turn”, clearly — Mass psychology of fascim, published first in 1933, for instance). It’s already a fascinating critique of the (alleged) economism of class consciousness (and lack thereof)

Maybe it is enjoyable, but maybe we are just a „brain in a tank“ that thinks it is enjoyable ( my likely outdated summary of some of the cutting edge analytic philosophy debates )

Perhaps, from now on, when we teach politics of life, we will have to complement, if not replace, Foucault’s biopolitical economy of vital forces with Freud’s libidinal economy of the death drive as a conceptual starting point… 😳
