Id love to see a video where you talk about the body without organs and rhizomes

Just look up stuff on microbes and potatoes. YUM.

Interesting here in the particulars. This "image" and nihilistic tendency reminds me of a teleological problem in the absence of dialogical spirit. The problem of teleology in Hegel's Science of Logic.

You know who else talks about Melville? Arendt in on revolution she talks about billy budd in her discussion of virtue, don’t know how relevant that is, but I guess that’s interesting. She thinks of billy budd as a sort of angelic figure as well but discusses it a bit differently. *I might have messed something up there, might be an interesting topic for an essay though. *if I remember correctly she compares billy budd to a kind of Christ figure and talks about him in conjunction with that one Dostoyevsky novel with the grand inquisitor the name of which escapes me

This is yet another reason I wish that the Split had never happened and that MacIntyre and Deleuze had contended before the Public. It would put Rich Dad/Poor Dad to shame, as well as probably Chomsky/Foucault and Zizek/Peterson.

I honestly don't understand why someone WOULD agree to Deleuze except insofar AS he serves as a sort of paternal figure, nor why most members of my generation would even bother to attend a lecture of this kind were it not for that reason. It appears that Deleuze was mostly concerned with preaching to the initiated, and of course this cultishness was immediately obvious upon first reading his and Guattari's work. I see neither motivation nor hope for his egalitarian project, especially since most of the problems facing the currently active generations may be ascribed to this same interruption which began with Bartleby. There's just no point in living if the answer to "To Be or Not to Be?" is "I would prefer neither." *[({R.G.)}]*

Where do you see Deleuze and MacIntyre even crossing paths?

A whole body of instruments, many differences between them, but no organs
