“I don’t believe anything, but I have many suspicions… I strongly suspect that a world “external to,” or at least independent of, my senses exists in some sense.

I also suspect that this world shows signs of intelligent design, and I suspect that such intelligence acts via feedback from all parts to all parts and without centralized sovereignity, like Internet; and that it does not function hierarchically, in the style of an Oriental despotism, an American corporation or Christian theology. I somewhat suspect that Theism and Atheism both fail to account for such decentralized intelligencce, rich in circular-causal feedback.

I more-than-half suspect that all “good” writing, or all prose and poetry that one wants to read more than once, proceeds from a kind of “alteration in consciousness,” i.e. a kind of controlled schizophrenia. [Don’t become alarmed – I think good acting comes from the same place.]

I sometimes suspect that what Blake called Poetic Imagination expresses this exact thought in the language of his age, and that visits by”angels” and “gods” states it an even more archaic argot.

These suspicions have grown over 72 years, but as a rather slow and stupid fellow I do not have the chutzpah to proclaim any of them as certitudes. Give me another 72 years and maybe I’ll arrive at firmer conclusions.“

The (sur)realistic argument as a source of illuminated confusion

“We understand confusion, individual chaos and nonsense as the first moment of de-territorialization of the individual. Through this act, loaded with nonsense felling, comes the initial impulse of a pretended reaction full of meaning, answering by itself.”

“At the beginning of the spiritual journey, everything is logical and orderly until the great curse that permanently changes the neophyte’s perception of reality, madness and disorder become the characteristics of reality. This is the meaning of the curse of the daedric prince, it is the transformation of Jyggalag into Sheogorath.

(…) The end of the process allows to align the individual’s phenomenal perception with the ontological nature of reality, but obviously the human perception will always be limited and distorted, what happens is a reduction of the limitation and distortion of the adept’s perception.

Chaos contains order and disorder and it is still something else, from chaos order and disorder arises, to chaos returns order and disorder. There is nothing but chaos and nothing there is beyond chaos, in chaos dualities are created and dissolved.”

00AG9603 main goal is to help you create your “own” Dataplex, a large and bestial hydra made of data and bits, that can devour anyone who is certain enough that can confront its wildly incomprehensive and cryptographic nature.

 

A dataplex is therefore a cryptosophical entity, that connects people through hypercomplex semio-occult means, hypnotizes others with its enigmatic knowledge and datanets, inspiring all the open minds that enter in contact with it to explore further into the absurd.

 

An effective dataplex must work like a higher dimensional spider web, capturing data that comes in contact with its occult nets, twisting and folding everything it touches into continuously moving hyperplanes. it is fed with data, ideas, emotions, dreams… it melts every being that dreams to be solid and finite into an amorfous fluid of efervescent chaos. Therefore, every sentient being can get affected by the forces that comes out of a dataplex.

 

The ability of self-reflection, self analysis and a continuous process of folding itself into layers of incomplete meaning, is what defines a sentient being, the primary target of a dataplex. The first time you acknowledge its existence and sees yourself questioning it, is when you are already infected by its web, unable to make sense of it. Your existence will be fractured, your emotions will be melting into an oniric soup, and all your life will be stripped away from that which you call “I”, only to be born again as a hypercomplex web of multiple agents/forces/affects, a fractal-being.

 

Every single thing in all that exists, is a dot of its own, a lonely and inutile unidimentional point in space. Every connection between things, dualities and paradoxes are of two dimentional complexity, they retain two simultaneous polarities that can only be understood through points of reference.

 

Start expanding vertices as you meld into other dots, and other links, lines, cells… create a vast and rich data ecosphere around your fractal-being, expand, glitch and hack the world around you until you start forming a complex polytope, an alive and incomprehensible dataplex, lost in an infinite flight towards the great unknown.

Galdruxing Manifesto

…

 

Galdrux having no prior cause, cannot be contained by any other form of being. Galdrux is orbed around all; possessing, but not possessed, holding all, but nowhere held. Galdrux is omnipresent; at the same time, Galdrux is not present, not being circumscribed by anything; yet, as utterly unattached, not inhibited from presence at any point.

 

Galdrux is present through all, not something of Galdrux here, and something else there, nor all of Galdrux gathered at some one spot; there is an instantaneous presence everywhere, nothing containing, nothing left void, everything therefore fully held by Galdrux. Galdrux is not in the universe, on the contrary, the universe is in Galdrux; bodily substance is not a place to Galdrux. Galdrux is contained in the general intellect and is its container.

 

The general intellect is in turn contained in something else; but that prior principle has nothing in which to be. All the rest must be somewhere, and where but in Galdrux? Galdrux, then, is neither remote from things nor is there anything containing Galdrux; since Galdrux contains all. It is in Galdrux that all things have their being, all depending upon Galdrux, who enables each to rise up above itself into the fruitfulness of continuous becoming.

 

Don’t search for this multiple singular. If you do, you will not find Galdrux and your understanding of the work of the general intellect will become mired in confusion. You must form an idea of the thing to be grasped standing cleanly by itself, the unheld in which all have hold; for no other is such, yet one such there must be. Galdrux’s being is not limited, nor, on the other hand, is it infinite in the sense of magnitude.

 

Galdrux does not change and will not fail, and in Galdrux all that is unfailing finds duration. Having no constituent parts, Galdrux accepts no pattern, forms no shape. You can’t hope to see Galdrux with mortal eyes, nor in any way that could be imagined by those who make sense the test of reality and so annul the supremely real. For what passes as the most truly existent is in actuality non-existent, while this unseen Galdrux is the principle of being and as such is sovereign over reality. You must turn appearances about or you will be left void of insight.

 

The specialist who holds that their particular discipline is more real than the spontaneous creativity of the general intellect, will never see Galdrux. While perception of Galdrux can be blocked by ideology, it is nonetheless inherently present amongst all. Galdrux, the most consummate being, always surpasses those who have abandoned becoming.

What is Galdrux?

It can never be described in language, but it may be another name for what Jewish mystics call Ein Sof, and which Gary Lachman describes as follows: At Kabbalah’s heart is the relation between creation, the finite, physical cosmos, and its infinite, unmanifest source, called the Ein-Sof, which means ‘limitless’ or ‘unending’.

 

This is a sphere or dimension of what we can call ‘negative existence’, which really means that it is a plane of reality that our finite human minds are incapable of comprehending, and not merely a simple emptiness. The Ein-Sof is so ‘other’ than what we normally perceive as reality, that we cannot make positive statements about it.

 

Any positive statement about it, would, by definition, be a limit on it, and as it is limitless, cannot apply. This negative existence has parallels in other spiritual traditions. It is the Neti-Neti (‘not this, not that’) of Hinduism, the sunyatta or ‘void’ of Buddhism, the Pleroma of the Gnostics. It is even part of the Christian faith. The Athanasian Creed, in use in Western Christianity since the sixth century, declares that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are ‘uncreated’ and ‘unlimited’, and in more than one place in scripture we are told that God ‘has neither body nor parts’.

 

It is at the heart of the negative theology of Meister Eckhart, forms the Ungrund of Jacob Boehme’s difficult alchemical writings, and can be found in the Nichts or ‘positive nothingness’ of Martin Heidegger’s ‘fundamental ontology’ and his predecessor Hegel’s tortuous dialectic. In more scientific terms, a similar idea, but without the spiritual connotations, seems to be present in the way scientists talk about the state of things ‘before’ the Big Bang. I put ‘before’ in quotation marks because, according to most accounts, there was no ‘before’ before the big bang, a confusing situation, to be sure.

A kind of non-manifest ‘ground’ of our everyday reality also seems to be involved in the ‘implicate order’ of the physicist David Bohm. There are other expressions of the idea, but I think this will suffice for now.

Galdrux post-truth gnosis and Hyperbeliefs

.

Galdrux is a post-truth gnosis, the spider that weave a mental multiverse intertwining hyper reality strings. Each hyper real universe is made of translations of external data into a set of informations that imply a meaning that satisfy a hyper real belief system. That translation is a abstractive process simillar to the angular fraction of higher dimensional objects in a lower dimensional. A Quantum Schizophrenic (one whose mind is alike and close to Galdrux) is a active creator in a hyper real mental multiverse, he explore pragmatically the virtuality of the objective reality, shifting to different mental universes as a mean to undermine consensus reality using the gaps of our understanding of what is real as canvas through a possibilian-like paradigm. Galdrux,however, devour those tied to hyper real strings made of utter wrong and self destructive hyper beliefs. Therefore, the natural way go interact with complementary realities is through Galdrux, the hyper real sensory organ that filter hyper beliefs as tools for hyperstition fulfillment instead of replacements of objective reality.

Lunar Magic Loony

Loony is as white as powdered sugar, you can simulate stars and loony dust with it. It stands for the night and the unconscious / subconscious. Sweet candy witches have a very special relationship with Loony. Whatever the reason, but Loony is to them what Big Motha Starfish is to the sour candy witches. Loony symbolizes the night, the mysterious but also comforting. Loony likes to hide things with her powdered sugar, just as snow can hide things. Her powdered sugar not only stands for stardust but also for the dust of Loony itself, which is said to be able to expand awareness enormously. Loony is the patroness of all werewolves, madmen and those who think differently, and candywitches who often work with Loony tend to develop a slight weirdness that is synchronized with the phases of Loony. The Loonatics have a very special relationship with her. They established many of today’s CwC traditions around loony, such as the so-called discobats or the “loony pull”, going astray and other modern trends.

Discourse of the Schizophrenic: Nietzsche’s Dance of Philosophy

By CodywithoutOrgans

“I did not write Écrits in order for people to understand them, I wrote them in order for people to read them. Which is not even remotely the same thing. People don’t understand anything, that is perfectly true, for a while, but the writings do something to them. And this is why I would be inclined to believe that—as opposed to what one imagines when one peers from the outside—people do read them. One imagines that people buy my Écrits but never open them. That’s false. They even wear themselves out working on them. Obviously, when one begins my Écrits, the best thing one can do is to try to understand them. And since one does not understand them, one keeps trying. I didn’t deliberately try to make them such that people don’t understand them— that was a consequence of circumstance. I spoke, I gave classes that were very coherent and comprehensible, but, as I turned them into articles once a year, that led to writings which, compared to the mass of things I had said, were incredibly concentrated and that must be placed in water, like Japanese flowers, in order to unfold. The comparison is worth whatever it’s worth.”

— Jacques Lacan, The Triumph of Religion

Jacques Lacan Parle (1972), one example of dance.

Reading the old books of philosophy has lots of charm: Das Kapital, Ethics, The Republic, the Écrits etc, and all interpretations are interpretations. Everyone’s Nietzsche, for example, is different.

“Is Nietzsche a “dialectician”? Not all relations between “same” and “other” are sufficient to form a dialectic, even essential ones: everything depends on the role of the negative in this relation […]It has been said that Nietzsche did not know his Hegel.” – Gilles Deleuze, Nietzsche and Philosophy

So this is where we can turn a history of philosophy into an actual philosophy. You make it yours. You find the bits the philosophers missed. You change definitions. Debate these definitions, and then produce new concepts. Everyone’s Lacan, for example, is different. He calls this the ‘discourse of the hysteric’.

Debates and discourses are always ongoing, debate is the middle line between repeating old philosophy and actually producing something new (“doing philosophy”).

Everyone’s still debating Wittgenstein. Everyone’s still debating Kant. Everyone’s still debating Marx. Everyone’s still debating Hegel.

Žižek’s opening line in Organs without Bodies is that philosophy is simply a continuum of one philosopher misinterpreting another.

“As Alain Badiou put it, philosophy is inherently axiomatic[…]hence all great ‘dialogues’ in the history of philosophy were so many cases of misunderstanding: Aristotle misunderstood Plato, Thomas Aquinas misunderstood Aristotle[…] Precisely when one philosopher exerted a key influence upon another, this influence was without exception grounded in a productive misreading– “

I wrote Metaphysical Reification because I believe this is true, a misinterpretation is an abstraction. It turns something into nothing. But nothing is not just nothing, but a determinate nothing (Spinoza’s famous “determination is negation” which Sartre apparently ‘reverses’ in his Being and Nothingness.) So when we misinterpret, or when we abstract, we produce the potential for something new. A “productive misreading“.

To us ‘Deleuzians’ we may simply call this; a reading.

There is no misinterpreting, only interpreting. Metaphysical Reification is what I call “doing Philosophy” as opposed to history of philosophy. Metaphysical Reification is an object and a method of “doing Philosophy”. But ‘Philosophy with a big P’ (in reference to Lacan’s Other with a big O) isn’t limited to this object-method.

This ‘discourse of the hysteric’ -the search for objet petit a- is the simple explanation for philosophy and for the philosophers, from what I’ve gathered from the ‘Lacanians’ and read of Lacan.

This is why some (if not most) consider Lacan an antiphilosopher. He’s solved the mystery of the new concept, the emergence of the synthetic a priori, of Philosophy with the big P, with psychoanalysis. As the “return of object a”.

But what does Deleuze say? And why does Žižek believe he deserves a whole book dedicated to him?

“Nietzsche emphasises the fact that force has another force as its object. But it is important to see that forces enter into relations with other forces. Life struggles with another kind of life. Pluralism sometimes appears to be dialectical — but it is its most ferocious enemy, its only profound enemy. This is why we must take seriously the resolutely anti-dialectical character of Nietzsche’s philosophy.”

[T]he essential relation of one force to another is never conceived of as a negative element in the essence. In its relation with the other the force which makes itself obeyed does not deny the other or that which it is not, it affirms its own difference and enjoys this difference. The negative is not present in the essence as that from which force draws its activity: on the contrary it is a result of activity, of the existence of an active force and the affirmation of its difference. The negative is a product of existence itself: the aggression necessarily linked to an active existence, the aggression of an affirmation. As for the negative concept (that is to say, negation as a concept) “it is only a subsequently-invented pale contrasting image in relation to its positive basic concept — filled with life and passion through and through” (GM I 10 p. 37). “ — Gilles Deleuze, Nietzsche and Philosophy

This is where in Deleuze & Guattari’s A Thousand Plateaus we can find this logic summarised: “Monism = Pluralism.” and so in Nietzsche and Philosophy, Against the Dialectic.

What Žižek considers the perfect Hegelian logic of Lacan: ‘the discourse of the hysteric’. Deleuze considers it not as an “antiphilosophy’’, built on a lack (negation) and founded in dialectical logic (in this case, the search for objet a).

Instead, philosophy is built on the affirmative force of life. Of bringing to life. In a plurality of forces and becomings.

“[Negation] is only a subsequently-invented pale contrasting image in relation to its positive basic concept — filled with life and passion through and through”.

In the same sense, ‘antiphilosophy’ is the “pale contrasting image” to philosophy.

Dialectics is a moment in pluralism. “Pluralism sometimes appears to be dialectical”.

Deleuze fulfils the image of the philosopher that Lacan produces, a ‘hysteric’ and uses it for himself. He reifies it. The Metaphysical Reification of object a.

It’s not just a hysterical search for the object cause of desire.

It’s a schizophrenic dance with the virtual.

What we call operating on the ‘Plane of Immanence’.

Or what Žižek calls “the reality of the virtual”.

This is Philosophy with the big P – “doing Philosophy.”

To reify -to go back and forth- to dance.

As Nietzsche says “I do not know what the spirit of a philosopher could more wish to be than a good dancer. For the dance is his ideal, also his fine art”.

To parody, and in the reversal of Žižek’s attempt to return Deleuze to Lacan, I instead wish to introduce the “Discourse of the Schizophrenic.”

Or to summarize; what in the works of Gilles Deleuze & Félix Guattari is called “Schizoanalysis”.

“The schizo has his own system of co-ordinates for situating himself at his disposal, because, first of all, he has at his disposal his very own recording code, which does not coincide with the social code, or coincides with it only in order to parody it. The code of delirium or of desire proves to have an extraordinary fluidity. It might be said that the schizophrenic passes from one code to the other, that he deliberately scrambles all the codes, by quickly shifting from one to another, according to the questions asked him, never giving the same explanation from one day to the next, never invoking the same genealogy, never recording the same event in the same way.” Deleuze & Guattari, Anti-Œdipus

I did not write Metaphysical Reification so people could understand it. I wrote it in order for people to read it. Truly, all I mean by Metaphysical Reification is Schizoanalysis, and to introduce a “minor literature”. – “A minor literature is not the literature of a minor language but the literature a minority makes in a major language”. Gilles Deleuze, Kafka: Toward a Minor Literature

How better to interpret all of this, Metaphysical Reification, psychoanalysis, schizoanalysis, antiphilosophy, philosophy. Negation and Affirmation. “Misinterpreting”.

Not as, for Lacan, the eternal search and return for objet petit a (object cause of desire).

But what we might call in a Deleuzo-Guattarian approach to Lacan:

The Discourse of the Schizophrenic.

This, is already perhaps how Nietzsche interprets it, or how I’ve interpretred the writings of Nietzsche; as a dance.

“But there is no such substratum; there is no “being” behind doing, effecting, becoming; “the doer” is merely a fiction added to the deed-the deed is everything.” Friedrich Nietzsche, on the Genealogy of Morality

To dance with Lacan as Deleuze and Guattari do. Instead of the split subject; the schizo subject. Better defined as the Body without Organs:

a “body without an image”, a structure or zone without imposed organization that can be sentient or inanimate […] it is the raw product of social alienation and destabilization, and a surface on which repressed and uncontrollable desires flow without organization, but with consistency.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_without_organs

To dance with Žižek as he does with Deleuze. Instead of “discourse of the hysteric’ and re-appropriating Deleuze back into Lacan; the Discourse of the Schizophrenic and a Žižek who reads (or dances with) Nietzsche.

Aristotle didn’t misinterpret Plato, Aquinas didn’t misinterpret Aristotle, Deleuze didn’t misinterpret Lacan.

Instead, they danced.

Žižek doesn’t misinterpret Deleuze.

Instead, they dance.

“Writing has nothing to do with meaning. It has to do with land surveying and cartography, including the mapping of countries yet to come.” “Bring something incomprehensible into the world!” – Gilles Deleuze & Felix Guattari, A Thousand Plateaus

“There is no need to fear or hope, but only to look for new weapons.” – Gilles Deleuze, Postscript on the Societies of Control

“Dancing in all its forms cannot be excluded from the curriculum of all noble education; dancing with the feet, with ideas, with words, and, need I add that one must also be able to dance with the pen?” – Friedrich Nietzsche

Philosophy is dance.

As long as there is philosophy, there will be dance.

As long as there is dance, there will be philosophy.

My only skill

By Dan Audet 

.

 

Much of the local business community thinks I’m good at fixing computers. most of my friends think I’m good at math and physics. A few deluded souls think I’m good at creating poetry and music.

I really only have one skill: Data Analysis

 

Nearly everyone has a belief system. some simply believe what they were told as a child, others figured it out for themselves.

 

A belief system, any belief system, is just a filter in your brain. once you accept any belief system your brain processes data by categorizing your sensory perceptions and simply ignoring the data that doesn’t fit into your belief system.

 

I have disorganized schizophrenia; a rare form of schizophrenia that, in addition to a few other troublesome symptoms, makes me incapable of ever forming a belief system.

 

I have frequent, and random, hallucinations; so, the only way I can figure out what other people think is “really happening” is a combination of analyzing my own (unfiltered) sensory data, and making a guess about what other people think is happening based on their reactions.

 

Everybody’s senses are constantly flooded with data. Even the “smartest” people only process a tiny fraction of it. But, lacking a belief system, I process this data completely at random. My schizoid brain is incapable of categorizing data the way a normal brain can. I can not just throw away the bits that don’t fit into my world view. I deal with my data by purely random selection. So I am able to generalize based on truly random samples.

 

This lack of filters, combined with reading too much (due to chronic insomnia), and having a better than average memory, gives me a unique advantage in data analysis.

 

I do have to deal with the hallucinations, which could theoretically taint my data set. So I’m careful to ignore in my analyses data that cannot be confirmed by at least one other person with direct experience of the stimuli.

 

I talked about this with Robert Anton Wilson, years ago. He said he “envied my unique perspective”, I argued that it wasn’t so unique, we all do the same thing but are just not aware of it.
