The cuteification of ATP through the edited illustrations and chapter titles was a nice touch. The acute intensity of the UwU (BwO) to allow virtual potentialities to be actualized through a form of "eggscape" to the outside is a Cthulhuian call from the future. Cat-boys are fanged technocapital creatures who embrace the feminine zero to reprogram psychoanalytically-inclined and traditional (1-based) patriarchal systems of oppression through schizoanalytic and machinic desires that allow them to become Other (or animal). 2d anime characters are "lines" of flight to the outside. Shame they missed the opportunity of making the joke of "putting the cat back in catatonic." Also, shocking Nick has not watched Serial Experiments Lain. Then, again, it is heavily influenced by Jungian psychoanalytics. ^_^ Their comments on not resisting (and giving in) essentially is their way of embracing the Kantian noumenon, which is fine as long as it operates within contexts where ORGANization and powerfully ordered systems are being deterritorialized (again, this is the ambivalence and dual articulation of the Lobster God, where reterritorialization and deterritorialization operate hand-in-hand or claw-in-claw). Capitalism hijacked cuteness (as was brought up with Konrad Lorenz), using us for its own purposes, evolving us onward while, again, calling to us from the future. So, yeah, we're all time-traveling in some sense. The templexity is a spiral, asymptotically inclined, forever open and unending (it never "cums" to an end). Still, a fun book over all. Flipping back and forth between the text and footnotes reminded me of reading Infinite Jest by DFW. Great interview by the way! Amy and Maya really convey their ideas quite clearly, simplistic enough for most to understand regardless of their philosophical background. Cheers!

“People tend to not believe you when you say things like this” haha. Listening to this is giving me so much strength to keep writing and thinking myself through a phase shift that I know in my heart is not “psychotic”. I am deeply moved by everything happening in this moment. Once I finish my book I will remember this moment. ❤
