    "The loss of housing is the loss of human habitat."
    Huh, I never really thought about it this way, But 100% that's what it is, homelessness is just another ecological tragedy if you think about it...

      do you think that this reveals any more than an intro lecture into ecology or just 2 mins of reflection, like, "oh gee, everything *just is* nature. one, entangled, incomprehensibly complex, interdependent mesh". of course human dwelling space is ecology. fancy wording, basic information.

    I love this, i love how you related the war against subjectivity in higher education to its roots in Dawkins local micro-fascism. I came to think about the neurotic need for obsessive control that plagues the western word, where efficiency is more important than efficacy and where the relating of another as an object stems from a lack.
    Given deleuze & guattaris framework i'd say lacanian obsessiveness is a product of oedipalization , this percieved lack can be traced back to christian origins, or as Dawkins would call the "meme of the inherited sin" which most likely predates christianity. It is a guilt-machine that is embedded in our subjectivity, which has an effect of limiting subjectivity.
    To release a flow of desire captured by the guilt-mahcine, i think one feasible way is to embody the war-machine and act on nomadological principles, of a movement outwards, of expanding consciousness and with it subjectivity. To be affirming to the importance of experience, and with it, provide the tools of nomadic approached to the ever territorialising, colonial State. For it is through the war-machine that true affirmitive action and thus subjectivity can be claimed.

      What is very interesting is that the more I research, the more that Dawkins is really a combination of his colonialist roots and the fascism that drives Peter Singer's negative utilitarianism. I didn't look too much into Singer when I made this video but he is quite literally the source of the ethical side of the ethico-aesthetic paradigm (the aesthetic side being more the gladiatorial evolution battles that Dawkins artistically reflects in The Selfish Gene and his other works). He's also directly connected to the effective altruism movement too which is sketch as all hell.
      The guilt machine is an excellent angle to explore Singer's ethics through, especially as I engage with it more and recognize that guilt drives a lot of the motivation for utilitarian ethics ("You want people to suffer?!")
      Thanks for the excellent reply, its really got me thinking

    I missed a response - mainly because I am not sure what to say. Great video, but there is more, I really like the unique perspective and the precise line of thought. But I need to watch this more than once before I can really follow the hole argumentation.

    I feel very Felix for having watched this video. I have read D&G's work, but your commentary on Guattari intrigues me, especially as it relates to ecology, which was in my opinion missing a bit from their collective work. What would you recommend I read first? The Three Ecologies? Also, is there any was I can give you some support monetarily?

    • @PunishedFelix
      @PunishedFelix  Рік тому

      Wow! Thanks!
      Yeah, read Three Ecologies! It's less about natural ecology though and more about seeing the mental and social worlds as ecologies that have complex relationships with each other and the natural ecology, and how an ecological movement requires a sort of new aesthetic paradigm to actually work. He's the kind of guy pointing out that hyper-militarization for example is an ecological problem... Chaosmosis also has a bit in this vein, I'm still reading it. His work right before he died is very focused on ecology. I think there is potential to take this later work and combine it with more natural philosophy works in the vein of evolutionary biologists and others.
      And yeah, I have a patreon in the description of my videos! Thank you!!
