Very unique take on AI. I'm all for the return to thinking about the body, which these sorts of tech are making necessary. I can see why you recommended this book!
Indeed! I think Isabel's work is incredibly unique. It is one of the most unique theses I have come across in this space, and can't wait to dive into her next work, which will be focused at the intersection of politics, suffering and enjoyment. That should be fire 🔥🔥
1:05:46 *Logic of sexuation* "To become a man or to become a woman is not just to do with reaching sexual maturity or having a gender identity or a certain type of presenting yourself physically-it's to do with our relationship to language and the signifier. And for psychoanalysis, masculinity and femininity are concepts that we embody. And we may experience both forms of those, but they are concepts that we have to sort of understand before we can understand anything else."
Absolutely, it was one of the many aspects of her thesis where I felt that she was conceptually innovating with psychoanalysis in such an interesting and engaged way.
6:46 *"Extimacy* is this psychoanalytic term that is trying to capture the idea of the inherent exteriority of the internal, the idea of the interior world. So that rather than thinking about the unconscious as this black box that is hidden away inside of us that we have to pull out, the Lacanian gesture is to sort of exteriorize that and say, 'well actually all these most intimate things are out there-they're structures that are produced by relationships and laws and conventions,' right. But of course, that's not the whole story because Lacan wasn't just a structuralist he was talking about a sort of biological body that is immersed into this network of sort of non-human, as it were, impulsions."
Great conversation! I learned so much, and thanks for asking for clarification around the lathouse and alethosphere..excited to learn it's related to Baudrillard
An excellent conversation full of excellent thoughts and quotes: I took copious notes. What a wonderful conversation, and Dr. Millar is extremely impressive.
She is very impressive and very glad to see her in dialogue here (I learned about her thanks to Cadell). The thinking she brings to the topic is invaluable.
I would be _honored_ to be martyred by such a future AI overlord. It would be spectacularly demonstrating how ethically bankrupt it was. What a nightmare paradise that world would be..

I’m sooooo looking forward to this!
The lathouse is such an interesting concept. Glad she decided to expand on it!

out of the longhouse into the lathouse

This is going to be amazing 🤩

Very important. I think lathouse/alethosphere can help us bring psychoanalysis into the digital age. Baudrillard helps too!
An excellent conversation full of excellent thoughts and quotes: I took copious notes. What a wonderful conversation, and Dr. Millar is extremely impressive.
The live was also full of excellent thoughts thanks to you and Michelle!
@@PhilosophyPortal We had a blast! Again, a truly outstanding and amazing discussion.
Love her work.

It was very thought provoking. Thank you.
🙏
OMG this is much appreciated content!!! ( for me at least )
You are very welcome, thanks for your time-attention!
I want to read her thesis/book so badly but I can’t find it for less than $109. And I’m not an “official” student anymore.

For those who don't understand this link, Dr. Millar opens her doctoral thesis with reference to Roko's Basilisk.
