Thanks for inviting me to collab!

[@epochphilosophy]

You guys have served as a great resource around D&G for myself! Only fitting. Everyone, do check out AcidHorizon if you haven't.

[@comradethatmetalguy]

This video is a masterpiece. You really went above and beyond and gave us a magnificent presentation of one of Deleuze and Guattari's best ideas and its implications. Thank you very much for this work.

[@epochphilosophy]

Incredibly kind words and high praise. Thank you so much.

[@mjolninja9358]

Oh boy, i’ll definitely need 7-10 more rewatches to finally digest this. As always, very thankful

[@AcidCommunistAachen]

OK, you have the best edited theory videos in my book. Sorry 1Dime and Pills.

[@richardmfranklingolf]

Incredible. So much work , thank you .

[@drageben145]

I've been reading WIP for an essay and this video helped me understand something kinda funny the relation between the plane of immanence and the image of thought

[@santiagovargas8112]

Thanks for this amazing content!

[@nowhereman6019]

So essentially, Philosophy, or at least this limited form of it they are being critical of, is humans doing pattern recognition on the whole of reality, and then claiming that those seemingly identified patterns are actually constant, fundamental truths, when in actuality reality is constantly changing and becoming in ways that can't be boxed in by these sorts of categorizations. Or have I completely misinterpreted this.

[@epochphilosophy]

Yeah, I'd say that's pretty much correct. That idea of course goes further than just D&G, but they, and a ton of other theorists/philosophers like Nietzsche aren't too keen on static idea of truth as something fixed and non-relational. (Really not too keen on anything being "categorized" as something static tbh.)

[@nowhereman6019]

​@@epochphilosophy yeah, I came to a similar conclusion myself a while ago. It's a shame that this method of thinking seems to be somewhat fundamental to human psychology. We have a natural inclination to want to understand the world in ways that are useful to us rather than by how it actually is. We look at a tree and see it as a source of wood building and fruit for eating, rather than as an organism fundamentally connected to the rest of the environment with uncountable aspects and uses. We see things only as what they are to US rather than what they are in and of themselves and to everything else.

[@epochphilosophy]

@@nowhereman6019 Yup. We can thank the Brits for that! I actually referenced this in the last video on Agamben, but I had a professor once say western society is stuck in John Locke's philosophy. It has stuck with me ever since.

I LOVE YOU!

[@Bojoschannel]

I've been wanting for a while to delve into the apparent timeless connection between taoism and D&G's philosophy, but my peanut brain can barely understand those french thru videos like this :(

Hello algorithm

[@mapleandsteel]

08:20 yeah, I agree with this. Post-structural approaches help in preliminary investigations and sort of 'setting-the-stage' when thinking of Systems. After that, a structure formed in terms of mutually defined différant objects allows for more formal reasoning. Can't give an exact source, but Nagarjuna in the mulamadhyamakakarika also says something similar.

[@epochphilosophy]

Believe it or not, this kind of point actually sets some philosophy people off I've noticed. And I've never really quite understood why. The rationale typically being that if you use structuralism and/or post-structuralism dependent on what you're analyzing, you're mixing frameworks that are incompatible. (Which is technically true.) My defense is: I am too stupid to completely accept or reject certain philosophical frameworks of analysis. There are probably smarter people out there who can articulate the various points with some solid certainty, I just don't think I can personally. Idk, in simple terms, structuralism has always seemed pretty decent at understanding certain sociological patterns. Post-structuralism seems good at things outside of sense perception.

[@mapleandsteel]

Yeah, bro exactly. I know I might be wrong, but as a control engineer, I’m happy if it works. If it doesn’t work, then the process of struggling to find a new structure that explains the edge case is also fun.

[@cristobalnolasco5157]

Just found this channel. And I gotta say, you deserve more subs. This is a great video!📽 I just realized the title says WHY?

[@mapleandsteel]

Philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways; the point, however, is to *engineer* it.

[@mushin0247]

If Epoch publishes just after Pills does , who got off the bed first ? That is the proper question isn't it ? ^^

I still need to watch that vid!

@epochphilosophy Awesome

[@Izerion]

Nice video but background music is too loud in parts. I care about what you have to say, I do not care about the music

[@epochphilosophy]

Noted. All my audio mixing follows the industry film making standard of music, effects, etc. always remaining -20db under the sound level of dialogue. Would you be cool with pointing out some sections that we're extra loud to you?

[@Izerion]

@@epochphilosophy My apologies, I should probably have included these in my initial criticism. In particular in the intro (1:47 - 2:57), when the second speaker comes in (5:00 - 5:39), the sound effect coming in at 15:43, and the rising background music at 26:57. This feels like nitpicking, but I am quite sensitive to this type of background sound effects when listening to a video that requires my attention to understand fully.

[@Bruteforce765]

[@apalophiapalophion125]

[@the_famous_reply_guy]

12:43 the facial image for the conception of the persona looks like the Palestine flag, which transcends the territories of Palestinians and is now a symbol of humanities resistance against genocide, Imperialism and the Empire of Capitalism. In which Governments are lieutenants, Industries are Captains, billionaires generals and Bankers the Kings stripping everything from the earth and all life on it. The Palestinian flag is now a symbol for freedom in all global south nation. Star Trek use the Borg to represent Islam, a collective hive against the federation aka Colonist, the Borg black cube representss the Kaaba or Qibla, etymologically means direction, humanity under one direction, one script would break all loyalty to the all mighty dollar and those who control it, because they aren't Gods.

[@JohnMoseley]

Native English speakers, if you can say, 'Duh,' then you can correctly pronounce French words and names like 'de' and 'Deleuze.' For the latter, say 'duh' twice, then repeat adding a 'z' sound at the end, then repeat again replacing the second 'd' sound with an 'L' sound. That's it: duh-luhz.

[@epochphilosophy]

As a native English speaker, I am able to pronounce the word that accurately describes people who get upset when words on the internet aren't pronounced in exact same phonetics of another language. It goes like, Doo-Shh Baa-gg. You say do, like you do something, then shh, like when you want someone to shut up, then bag like when you go to the grocery store. That's it: douche-bag.

[@JohnMoseley]

@@epochphilosophy Hey, don't be a Deloozer. I can't resist that joke, but I'm not trying to pick a fight. Who's getting upset here? Sorry, but it seems to be you. We all have blindspots and some of us like to see past them and learn new things, just as I like learning more about philosophy from videos like yours. Of course you're free to ignore it, or chuck insults or whatever.

[@epochphilosophy]

@@JohnMoseley Hey, if you find value in any of the videos I make, that's great. Happy if so. There's just an infinite list of comments you see everywhere of people who seem to take personal insult if something isn't pronounced in exact accordance. Language differences be damned. I ignore 99.9% of them.

[@JohnMoseley]

@@epochphilosophy Fair enough. I never see these comments, so I thought it was just me, and it wasn't about me feeling insulted or angry, as I say. I study foreign languages and if I was mispronouncing something and someone corrected me and, better yet, gave me a pronunciation tip, I'd be grateful. So perhaps I was obeying the golden rule or perhaps I was trying speak 'with all the coldness and cruelty of true friendship.' ;-) Yes, I enjoyed this video and will watch more of yours, however you pronounce things. Over and out.

[@epochphilosophy]

​@@JohnMoseley Sick. Glad we're pals then. Forgive my non-french speaking self.
