Mediasres @medias-res.bsky.social · 08/09/2026The Great Human Collective (GHC) is now "thinking it"...while no one "thinks it". Somehow God/Substance/Nature is "thinking it". Somehow Capitalism is "thinking it", but we are not. We have been relieved of the onus of thinking, and instead are simply thought. 010

Mediasres @medias-res.bsky.social · 07/09/2026The first is spooky, just because he's so casually rattling off our reality, with almost no theory or rationality in context. I've always felt Rorty was a better mind than credited by many. 021

Mediasres @medias-res.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Really interesting question. It's painful to remove anyone major because even wrong turns produce beautiful criticism. Maybe Jacobi because he's the butterfly flap that triggered the entire Pantheism Controversy which ended up producing a vast misreading of Spinoza & giving birth to German Idealism. 110

Mediasres @medias-res.bsky.social · 03/09/2026I loved David Graeber. I remember seeing him on Charlie Rose & thinking to myself: "Hmmm, I'm going through some agonist stuff at college, I wonder if he would help?"

Mediasres @medias-res.bsky.social · 01/09/2026A challenge to my Spinozist metaphysics. Do words have "agency"? Do they have conatus? How do they relate to other extension on the monistic plane of immanent expression? Is the word in my mind, on my tongue, on that sign the same or similar "parts in a ratio of movement and rest"? 100

Mediasres @medias-res.bsky.social · 28/08/2026It feels as if Internet discourse has moved into a state of Nihilism of Objection.

Mediasres @medias-res.bsky.social · 25/08/2026In his 1906 novel The Confusions of Young Törless Robert Musil uses the questionable ontological status of Imaginary Numbers to represent how "impossible" things can and are achieved, how one can cross seemingly categorical impossibilities. 100

Mediasres @medias-res.bsky.social · 24/08/2026I think this is key to what the "slop" nature of generative "AI" is, what makes it slop. When looking at stochastically generated content one can no longer read Singularities as signatures. An "event" in the material can no longer trigger new capacities in YOU, or your expression. It is sterile. 000
Mediasres @medias-res.bsky.social · 24/08/2026When I see appeals to a "democratization" of creativity (every Subject must be an Artist!), I really see "authoritarian control over a newly defused creativity through tech". By pulveristically atomizing the "creative" it then can be newly regulated by the algorithmic control over 1s and 0s. 010

Mediasres @medias-res.bsky.social · 22/08/2026I'm still struck by how a mentally unsound Nietzsche is taken as the model for some sort of ideal. Not saying his criticisms aren't brilliant and important. I'm saying his (connotative) "I am the peak of human thriving" really feels self-disproving. Who would want to be Nietzsche? 120
