Deleuze & Guattari: Anti-Oedipus on Schizoanalysis versus Capitalism

[@PlasticPills]

[@MarcillaSmith]

Thank you for such high quality content, as usual. This is an older way of thinking, but it was that the mental state was considered more along a linear continuum with schizophrenia at one end - where the mental boundaries of the neurotypical would be transgressed fluidly - and neuroticism - with its paralyzing, rigid conformity - at the other. In that sense, the schizophrenic mindset does represent polar opposition to rigid conformity (conservation of the status quo). I have some concern. To begin, D&G did not have access to more recent studies that correlate hallucinations with trauma to the brain stem (neuroticism - as a disturbance in more abstract thinking - would tend more towards trauma to the cortical region). Reconsidered in this context, I'm not sure I'm so ready to accept that mimicking the thought patterns of someone with trauma to the most fundamental part of their thinking machine is such a brilliant idea. Would I attempt to "outpace" the state (or her agents) in a physical sense by mimicking the gait of someone with a sprained ankle? That isn't to say that neuroticism or even neurotypical thinking is "the answer." To the contrary, the systems of exploitation want us to avoid any of the creative thinking of the schizophrenic as well as the overthinking of the neurotic, focused instead on the thoughts they spoon feed us. I think I would prefer to draw inspiration from ALL the different ways my brain can think. If I may add another concern, it's that "intentional schizophrenic thinking" sounds like the sort of thing that could very easily think of itself as transgressing boundaries, when it may end up doing it in a manner which still confines it to the predictable. Look at this guy, drinking out of cups! No way! Yes, a sudden interruption in the flow of my writing, but is it schizophrenic if my mind immediately goes to what I've been conditioned through media to think of as schizophrenic? In conclusion, I'm sure John MacAfee would agree, how many people do we need raising money for cancer when literally everyone I've ever known has been touched by it, and here's a rocket ship shooting a laser: 8======D~~~~

I literally just finished Anti-Oedipus yesterday morning and started A Thousand Plateaus today. I've never dealt with a more difficult set of books and it definitely doesn't help if you're not acquainted with psychoanalysis, the history of continental philosophic thought, or some major European literature. My psyche feels incredibly schizo after all of this lol

[@sk8shred]

How did you do it? Any tips on how to understand it? I'm familiar with analytic philosophy and had a science education, but D&G are a total different animal. I find it very hard to jump into it.

[@hunterjefferson3206]

@@sk8shred So, I needed a deadline so I made myself plan on finishing it in a month. From there I tried to do 20 pages a day, and I used a black pen and yellow highlighter - I HIGHLY recommend this because you want to notate the book so you won’t have to read it from start to finish again without some kind of system. Next, I’d say read it straight through, and don’t get too hung up on a paragraph or a page, they will usually clarify it later to a certain degree. Also, google the words you don’t know and depending on what the term is, there will be useful resources online to figure it out. Along with that, there are going to be times when they name bomb a lot, I don’t recommend looking up ever individual, rather, see what they’re saying about that individual. I also recommend Daniel W. Smiths lectures (apple podcasts under an “Interregnum” cast that use to exist) bc he’s really really helpful on it. You can also find another one on there where a reading group has gone through chapter by chapter and that helped out some too bc a lot of the beginning stuff is the hardest. Beyond that, I can just say go with god and just try to crank through it

[@shayneoneill1506]

for what its worth I know guys with PhD qualificatons in friggin Heidegger, himself a pretty mystifying writer, and can Derria in their sleep, who crash on the rocks of D&G unable to figure out wtf these mad frenchmen are on about. This stuff is hard and its no moral fault to be bamboozled by it. I sure am! But its also ok to just take away what you feel you need out of it and ignore the rest. D&G explicitely state as much as that.

[@comu157]

The thing withe Anti-Oedipus (the first philosophy book I've read in it's entirety) is that it operates schizoanalysis throught itself. I too found myself quite schizo after reading it. It absolutely changes ones conscience since it operates the decoding and recoding operation described in the book. The main things one needs to look for in the process of understanding the book is psychoanalysis, linguistics (specially semiology) and a bit of logic and history/anthropology. The thing is to read intuitively, taking notes whenever you catches some ideas flying around, and then revisiting the book after it cools down on you.

[@kerycktotebag8164]

I'm autistic and I had a schizophrenic close friend, and we talked about how autistic people get more attention than schizophrenic people because psychosis is harder to exploit than autism. But I think autism gives me some distance from common territorialisations, but in some ways makes me more likely to create territories of my own. Idiosyncratic territories instead of psychotic deterritorialisatiom. I also have psychotic tendencies ("psychotic features"), so i can relate to the fluidity, and to be honest, it helps balance out my autistic tendencies. There's a way to engage in deterritorialisation and to build "register" fluidity, through art and aesthetics, and you can bridge the gap to ethics through transpersonal non-oedipal intimacy and focusing on implicit, multi- perspectival participation. You don't necessarily have to become a nomad, but you need to have a fluid sense of self ("dividuated" as opposed to individuated). Becoming minor can be a political and mental deterritorialisation, and a more trans-subjective social deterritorialisation can be found in D-G and Ettinger (yes, Ettinger again!). It's not enough to dividuate and minoritize your politics. You have to practice self-fragilisation on an intimate level, to learn how to connect with other dividuated "partial subjects". The link between deterritorialised politics and deterritorialised subjectivity can be seen as the "proto"-ethics of dividuated people connecting in a dividuated way to the dividuated parts of other people. This can be found in schizoanalysis, phenomenology and things like "4e" (embodied, embedded, extended, enacted) cognitive psychology. That can connect to more explicity ethical things like virtue and care. Ettinger's entire project can be described as the proto-ethics of "going schizo without going insane". She talks about resonances and registers that are "non-oedipal" that can't be reduced to psychopathology and may arguably be registers that we learned very early on and persist and can never trulyy go away, only be coped and trained in different ways. The point is to do so skillfully and avoid pitfalls like oedipal splitting as well as completely unbridled delirium of phantasy that you can't control.

This perfectly describes my 4 month drug induced psychosis in 2020. I saw myself as connected to history and so too was everyone else. There really was no separation between past or present nor between self and other. I saw how someone's language they used when speaking to me the veiled lies and dishonesties people would tell me and themselves (usually excuses couched in moral language or disguised as ethical obligations). I was completely lucid and to this day I don't think that how I was viewing things was wrong in any real sense... Just difficult and unsustainable in the circumstances I found myself in. After I cleaned up I stopped being able to view things that way and I became really depressed and actually missed that state... Years later I am starting to get back to that state but in a much more balanced and manageable way... Less intense, but still intense

[@kylerodd2342]

I’ve gone through something similar. It came to a head when I accidentally hit that sort of psychosis, only without drugs this time, after what I can call a long thought experiment. I’ve found a balance though. It’s like, those sorts of intensities are always there but I don’t have to tune into them, or rather, I’m just tuned into something else that pushes everything else to the periphery.

Being versed in Lacanian psychoanalysis helps one read Anti-Oedipus more than most readers of D&G would think. Ultimately, Lacan ends on very similar grounds to what D&G put forth in this book, and that is through the clinic of the Sinthome. The whole Lacan/D&G theoretical split in academia is academic politics par excellence, aimed at generating more knowledge as surplus enjoyment. There are many scholars who have begun to disjunctively synthesise those two fields of thought (see Chiesa, or Nedoh for example).

I was in art school (illustration) several years ago and the ideas driving 'art' in general seemed, and still seem, very geared towards deterritorialization; crossing uncrossed boundaries, sticking labels of the one territory on the other. I spoke to someone in the field of Social Design who described this cross-applying of methods and ideas - which seems quite productive. But having been in the art field for a bit, the continued fetishization of a 'new' or 'undiscovered' connection gets strangely stale. I'm not sure if I'm applying the idea correctly, but somehow it seems like going radically artisanal and non-conceptual, to do something (viewed in the art world sometimes as obsolete) such as landscape painting, is a form of deterritorialisation. Or is this just simply being reactive and going against the trend? Anyways, some thoughts I wanted to share, this was a great vid on Deleuze, glad to have finally met him and his buddy G.

[@rawalshadab3812]

Excellent work! I'm reading Deleuze and Guattari these days and feel like I understand it better now!

[@jackri7676]

let’s go i’ve been dying for a well made deleuze video!!

[@monsieurlouche1231]

Great content dude, you don't just paraphrase what you read, which always bore me when i search for commentaries of intellectuals i like, but you have your self appropriation of a book and a nice way of talking about it, pretty cool. Nice energy.

Your onscreen persona is very charismatic. I am enjoying the humor and your flowing speech rhythms. It reminds me of Grant Morrison.

"a miraculous stomach" that's a good name for an indie album

this is ART!! ive been struggling with these concepts for so long holy shit you made it so easy 😭

This is awesome. Read vol 1 a while ago; Felt like the toughest thing I’d ever read. Read Vol 2 more recently, and made lots more sense. This motivated me to go back and read vol 1 again. Among other things. Great breakdown.

Fab presentation. Very informative and will help in my re-reading of these texts

[@watcher8582]

Thanks for the video. I don’t quite understand the „what can be done“ part of it all. Constantly being on the run from being captured doesn’t seem to have the capacity for a lasting impact. Especially if being on the run here means innovation - innovation is a post of the market.

[@szhou1718]

This is amazing! Immediately bought the book after watching your video

[@callaeris]

Recently finished ATP and this was a great refresher. Thanks!

[@googleguy-ft8xh]

Just started reading this book, and holy shit it’s harder than anything else I’ve ever read. Haven’t watched the vid yet, but very excited to.

[@monogalaxia]

Just wanted to say, my favorite channel in all youtube, thanks a lot for the effort

[@Hephaestikon]

AN incredibly inspiring take on our existence. Gave me a lot to chew on.

[@ClaytonLivsey]

Excellent video! I listened to this video on a walk, can't wait to sit and watch it through with all your animations. I wish you went into Deleuze and social media the same way you went into Lacan and social media, and if you need help writing that video I'd love to help!

[@ankushbanerjee9657]

This was absolutely great! Thank you for making this. One of the best online resources to understand this difficult treatise. Pls keep doing this. You guys are awesome 👏🏼

[@Canihavecookies]

Great video man, thank you so much. Very valuable as a friend between my having-read Anti Oedipus and my am-going-to-read thousand plateaus!

[@NalanisLive]

Brother you're my favorite Channel

[@T.T.F]

really cool video man. The more i watched the more engaged i became. Cool ending. Im watching this becuase my tutor references deleuze and guattari in his writing and i wanted find out more. thanks

[@iloveowls8748]

Amazing that you brought in hip hop in this segment, very interesting, definitely have to see it again to understand it better. As a hip hop artist myself representing the hip hop ComMuniTy, I appreciate it ;) haha!

[@joeharris3297]

This is fucking incredible work, this video was rewarding af to watch and I learned a ton. Cannot thank you enough!

[@alexwhitwell4266]

Great video! Wondering if the main concentric circle diagram you used was something you created or if that's from the books. Thanks

[@manuelp2494]

I love this video. So much work behind. Thank you so much, pana.

[@beatles5235]
