does not belong to the ...

disjointed images that belong to the edgy


the celebration of the old
as if we haven't deserved to own it

*

civilization doesn't exist
it is not a clash of civilizations
it is a clash of fractured nations
civilization doesn't exist

THE WORKPLACE AS A HEALTHCARE CENTER FOR THE ELDERLY
WHERE EVERYONE IS ALREADY LOST
AND HAVE TO CONFINED THEMSELVES TO THE RIGID STUPIDITY
OF THE AUTHORITY AND THE RULES

Tijuana / San Diego

Tengo muchas cosas que decir sobre mi estadía en Tijuana / San Diego - Chula Vista - Ocasionalmente National City, por un par de ocasiones Coronado Island (Una inclusive incluyó renta de bicicleta, ya que de primero, nuestra primera intención era rentar Kayaks, porque qué bonito, pero la industria del kayak es una mierda en Coronado Island. Cuesta 39 dlls + impuesto, 49 si es un kayak doble, pero quién quiere un kayak doble, ya tenemos suficiente para aparte pasar la verguenza de estar en uno. Y no, nos pareció caro, aún y cuando los que atienden el negocio parecían personas del catalogo de Hollister, como mi amigo dijese, yo dije que se veían demasiado californianos y punto. 

Del lado de Tijuana, no se dejen sorprender, Playas de Tijuana, a las orillas de la barda fronteriza, comenzando con una monumental plaza de toros que alberga actos como el de la infame noche de Enrique Iglesias, que se corta sus deditos por estar puteando con un dron,, como diría mi amigo nuevamente, yo siempre pensé que la foto estaba manipulada para que se vea más sangrienta, era como cuando te cortabas con las aspas de tu ventilador portátil de baterías, solo que si más gruesas, porque el objeto es más pesado.

Por lo menos no se voló los dedos como el wey de Rebelde bajándose de un helicoptero por saludar a sus fans, como si fuera LadyDi llegando a Uganda por primera vez. Ever.

Luego está el valle, el viejo oeste, donde los sueños se vieron confrontados ahora por el vasto océano pacífico. Y ahora ¿hasta dónde? Pues hasta Asia, mijos.

 To be continued ...

Some thoughts about feeling

talking about nothing is amazing! it feels so good, you feel so liberated! from any constraints but what language itself can possess which is truly infinite if you think about it ... and it gives you a voice, it puts you there - like automatically expelled from the void ... like a birth - expelled from your mothers womb, so beloved, so greasy, so full of blood. And now you are outthere in the open. Feeling, just feeling what feeling is.


The Bogdanov - Hegel connection - draft

I have to think how to link between these two because next friday I will be talking about Bogdanov via McKenzie Wark's Molecular Red and I don't know why I got involved but I am. So, no, of course I know, I find this work fascinating. I think it is a completely new perspective that I haven't encountered before, and that's refreshing. The new. You know, that space where everything gets turned apart and creates the space for the emergence of the new, a new possibility. You got it.
And that's where it goes. No big science. I'm just interested in these processes. Like, the root, you know? So you don't get foul, by fouls.

like there was this will to make something new
not like something contingent
not like a contingency
and in this respect i link bogdanev with Hegel
because they share both qualities
of being modern
of willing to create something new
maybe not just for the sake of it
but with something in mind
something planned or structured prior
like an inner plan
like a plan
whatever this could be
but it has been proven historically to be flourishing in something beautiful

This doesn't exist.

My notes taken while I passively watched in the confort of my living room I share with three others in Colonia del Valle, sur. It is important to specify it is 'sur' because if not you can get confused and think it is the one next to the more trendier Roma and Condesa, no, mine doesn't have anything which trends, but that's the reason I love this neighbourhood and because it has proven mildly affordable and amicable in an otherwise hell which is Mexico City.

The lecture is by Markus Gabriel, the so-called 'genius child of continental philosophy' because of its productivity levels in such a field when you get to start putting your name outthere probably never.

It is titled 'The World Doesn't Exit' and I agree.

---------------------------

Markus Gabriel.
Why the world doesn't exist?
What existenz means - ontology is.
Being - confusing term
in contrast ontology with metaphysics
metaphysics - a theory of totality. A theory of absolutely everything.
you want these things to co-exist
the particular object O1
O1 exist - so you will look for an existing object
being and nothing as one and the same - science of logic - hegel
Existence is a proper property - no one believes that
to exist means to be part of the world
you go from an object to a field
the world is a field of possible experience - Kant
to be part of the world you have to say that the world doesn't exist
kant says - critique of pure reason - whatever appears into the world.
kant really believes that nothing exists - the most radical indian monk, as a nihilist.
schmixist - heidegger - i doesnt exist but it worlds
world - regulative idea - habermas. the round square.
the world doesn't exist it doesn't world it doesn't do anything.
Isn't that postmodernist?
It is not Kantianism
Thinking is not less real. Depending on how long they exist or whatever, that is not an ontological problem.
David Lynch is trying to transform the american flag into the french one.
to exist means to stand out
Pre-socratis created the world. Freud -  The oceanic feeling somehow ran amok. Then Parmenides said water is being.
There is no it. A mistake mostly by Parmenides. It is a contingent mistake.

Armen Avanessian : Poética Especulativa

En diciembre del 2014 bajo la recomendación de Sigfrid Zielinski contacté a Armen Avanessian para la oportunidad de trabajar conjuntamente en algunos proyectos.

Todo comenzó con un post de Facebook en el que públicamente convocó para la revisión de un artículo en proceso. Yo tomé esa oportunidad para entablar vínculo.

El artículo resultó muy dificil de procesar, tarde un mes en poder descifrar algún significado, pero terminé la tarea y la mandé. La respuesta fue positiva. La generosidad de Armen fue desplegándose.

La comunicación permaneció y fue creciendo hacia diferentes direcciones. Estamos ahora trabajando conjuntamente en proyectos mayores. En producciones de gran alcance. En traducciones de trabajos nunca antes traducidos.

Esta es la primera traducción de Armen Avanessian al español, famoso exponente del movimiento Aceleracionista de Freie Universitat (Berlin), que tuve el privilegio de realizar. Armen no sólo se ha vuelto una enorme inspiración en mi trabajo actual, sino que su presencia a su vez ha ido permeando mis pasos en los últimos meses. Su lectura no parece fácil a primera instancia, pero como todo lo que vale la pena, necesita cierta perspectiva y voluntad para la profundización. Cualquiera que diga que un texto es dificil y por eso sea descartado está siendo subyugado por la propaganda normativa.

Nada es imposible de indagar, sólo se necesitan las ganas de hacerlo. Cualquier actividad para ser dominada necesita práctica y constancia, así es la filosofía también.

Who bites the glass? Please send your resume and a cover letter.

Some times some-times so-many times. Books getting stashed. I'm supposed to do something with them. A thing. A new thing. A new little object-thing-related-with-the-thing-in-itself. Phenomenological inquiries about nothingness that in the process of becoming become something. A being. Dasein. Logos and shit ---. Nice algorithms. Algo which means something in spanish. Rythms of strong melodies. Auto-generating... Homo-generating as Wolfgang Schirmacher would say. Arab origin. Arab world. Arabian becoming of something homo-generating in itself out of nothing. A new beginning. A new semiotic triangle where representation - signifier - signified subverts to bring a new semiotic triangle waiting to be subverted.
Like so many times.
Die Zeit ist über das.
