That is why Joy Division can be a very dangerous drug for young men.
They seem to be presenting The Truth (they present themselves as doing
so). Their subject, after all, is depression. Not sadness or frustration,
rock’s standard downer states, but depression: depression, whose
difference from mere sadness consists in its claim to have uncovered The (final, unvarnished) Truth about life and desire.

The depressive experiences himself as walled off from the lifeworld, so
that his own frozen inner life – or inner death – overwhelms everything;
at the same time, he experiences himself as evacuated, totally denuded,
a shell: there is nothing except the inside, but the inside is empty. For
the depressive, the habits of the former lifeworld now seem to be,
precisely, a mode of playacting, a series of pantomime gestures (‘a circus

complete with all fools’), which they are both no longer capable of
performing and which they no longer wish to perform – there’s no point,
everything is a sham.

Depression is not sadness, not even a state of mind, it is a
(neuro)philosophical (dis)position.

mood
Part 1: "The Dead Flag Blues (Intro)"]
The car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel
And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides
And a dark wind blows

The government is corrupt
And we're on so many drugs
With the radio on and the curtains drawn

We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
And the machine is bleeding to death

The living jungle, where no-one has a name, and to survive is to activate mutant lines, become imperceptible in order to perceive, tracking
chromatic gradients of intensity across the condo wastelands.
Predator.
The space-time of hypercommoditisation is a nomoid zone of mad
clusters where the polis disintegrates into unintelligible webs of
swarmachinery.
Schizophrenic capitalism: cultures without a society, a mutant
topology of unanticipated connections.
Beehivelocity ... and if you think its gonna blow ... you haven't seen
anything yet. Wildstyle-wasting the interminable punctual history
of the scriborgs.

25.06-07 Slothrop’s Progress . . . a parable
"Slothrop’s Progress" echoes John Bunyan’s Puritan allegory The Pilgrim’s Progress. The word "parable," interestingly, comes from the same root as "parabola."

Slothrop's Progress may be Time itself. Sir Arthur Eddington coined the term "time's arrow" to describe entropy's progress and time's irreversibility-- i.e. "as the universe gets older, it becomes more disordered, following the second law of thermodynamics." Entropy's progress defines time. Cf. Scientific American, Jan 2008, p.26 for more.

Word. I hear you loud and clear my guys.
Marx in 1848: “there is only one way in which the murderous death agonies of the old society and the bloody birth throes of the new society can be shortened, simplified and concentrated, and that way is revolutionary terror.”[1]

Engels in 1849: “The next world war will result in the disappearance from the face of the earth not only of reactionary classes and dynasties, but also of entire reactionary peoples. And that, too, is a step forward.”[2]
