Slavoj Žižek, "Do not isolate yourself from us" (Google translated from Turkish)
'In Praise of the Party', which is considered by some to be the most problematic song in Bertolt Brecht's play The Measure Taken, is a much more accurate and unique proposition than it seems. In this song, Brecht seems to make the Party the epitome of the 'subject that is supposed to know', as if he elevates it to the level of the embodiment of Absolute Knowledge, which has complete and perfect insight into the historical situation: "If you have two eyes, the Party has thousands of eyes!" [*] But a close reading of this poem reveals a very different operation; The Chorus reproaches the young Communist that the Party does not know everything, and perhaps the young Communist is right in his objection to the dominant line of thought of the Party [*] :Show us the path we need to follow, so that weThis means that Party authority does not consist of certain positive knowledge, but has taken the form of a new type of knowledge connected to the collective political subject. The only important issue that Koro insistently emphasizes is that if the young comrade believes that he is right, he must fight by taking his own place in the collective Party structure, and not go beyond it; In other words, to put it rather sadly, if he is truly right, then the young comrade is much more needed by the Party than other members. The Party's demand is that we ground our 'I' in the Party's collective identity 'We': fight with us, fight for us, fight for your truth that challenges the Party's dominant line of thought, as long as you do this struggle by going outside the Party. don't give it yourself. Just like in Lacan's formula of analytical discourse, what is important about the Party's knowledge is not its content, but its substitution for Truth.
can follow that path just like you, but
do not cross the right path without us.
When we are not on that path,
it becomes the wrongest of all paths.
Don't separate yourself from us.From Revolution is at the Door

ReplyDeleteNew gadget? ;-P
ReplyDeleteThis and this (hint: Georgia govt) ;-P
ReplyDeleteAnd this.
"They... who know better"
ReplyDelete"Alchemy is not interested in truth like the scientific method, it's interested in operational success."
George Soros, "The Alchemy of Finance"
Truth? Naaaah! "Operational Success".
:P
ReplyDelete\\Truth? Naaaah! "Operational Success".
ReplyDeleteYawn. That is ONLY truth available to mere mortals. ;-P
\\:P
My -- better. ;-P
The One Party State (or worse, World) is never a Truth for mortals. For mortals are not one, they are Many.
ReplyDeleteUkraine wants to join the One-Party World. I want to go back to a bi-polar or multi-polar one.
ReplyDeleteZizek, as you can tell from this interview, wants the Uni-Party one, starting with Europe and DiEM25.
ReplyDelete...a global Switzerland.
ReplyDeleteTHAT would be the aim of his "global restructuring".
ReplyDelete\\The One Party State (or worse, World) is never a Truth for mortals. For mortals are not one, they are Many.
ReplyDeleteGo read about trilobites. ;-P
They ruled over Earth... once. ;-)
\\Ukraine wants to join the One-Party World. I want to go back to a bi-polar or multi-polar one.
ReplyDeleteSoon.
In ww3.
\\Zizek, as you can tell from this interview, wants the Uni-Party one, starting with Europe and DiEM25.
Whatever.
It... of no authority for me.
\\...a global Switzerland.
Those who never was there? ;-P
\\THAT would be the aim of his "global restructuring".

The anthropocenic won't be but a blink on the trilobite scale of longevity.
ReplyDeleteWho knows...
ReplyDeleteIf a meteorite didn't kill them all off, the next nuclear war most certainly will.
ReplyDeleteArt -- it's blast! ;-P
ReplyDelete\\ the next nuclear war most certainly will.
ReplyDeletenuckear war... overrated. Yawn.
I think... nuked out North America... will not be seen as anything important. ;-P
...only to the surviving cockroaches.
ReplyDeleteAttacker ALWAYS have first move.
ReplyDeleteLike it was in 9/11.
;-P
ReplyDeleteI dunno, that kinda sounded like whiney cockroaches post-nuke.
ReplyDelete:-)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
ReplyDeleteWell... Future IS Foreign Country. ;-P
ReplyDelete..."undiscovered". ;)
ReplyDeleteYeah. Very first from ST I saw...
ReplyDeletefrom Shakespeare's "Hamlet" (but with a slightly different twist).
ReplyDeleteTo grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscovered country from whose bourn
No traveler returns, puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have,
Than fly to others that we know not of?
The future = post-death time.
ReplyDeleteHave a plans for afterlife?
ReplyDeleteWell, whatever.
No kids?
ReplyDeleteEver hear of "Estate Planning"?
ReplyDeleteHave nothing to re-distribute. ;-P
ReplyDeleteBeing poor -- is a blessing. In a sense.
So why fight Russia then?
ReplyDeleteHistory
ReplyDelete\\So why fight Russia then?
ReplyDeleteFor USA?
Yeah, you need em to grow so big and mighty, and so pissed off on you... so they'll do their version of Pearl Harbor. ;-P
And ONLY THEN... you'd start paying attention... to their ICBMs.
Yawn.
If there'd still be enough Ams to do that. ;-P
And... history relevant to your bright idea I presume. ;-)
ReplyDeleteMore close to your home ;-)
ReplyDeleteHistory? That "big other" has always been a cuck.
ReplyDeleteYawn.
ReplyDeleteWhat that word your greeks used?
Ah, yes -- hubris. ;-P
That's why I dislike history... it looks like railroad... into damn hell. :-(((((
ReplyDeleteHistory is hubris. Life in the present, based on a more distant Greek past, is Sophrosyne. And you know me. I'm a Philo-Soph. ;P
ReplyDeleteYeah.
ReplyDeleteI know.
In it's more modern form -- mindfullness.
Every first of self-esteemed Ams today -- claim practicing it.
Yawn.
But I think there is more proper word -- Decadance. ;-P
Yes, we're so mind-full that its' spilling out everywhere...
ReplyDelete:-))))
ReplyDelete"most advanced in all senses country" ;-)
Or... you already forgot this ref.
Most advanced in retrogression...
ReplyDelete"...in all senses" ;-P
ReplyDeleteYou was asking for first hand experience... ;-P
ReplyDeleteGreat metaphor... Ukraine is a torneqeut on NATOs leg...
ReplyDeleteYep... extreme measure to keep it from instant death.
ReplyDeleteThat's what Ukraine do... for the last two years.
You are right!
Art... it's BLAST! ;-P
ReplyDeleteHopefully, the patient will bleed out soon so that we can move on with our withdrawal and MAGA instead of simping for European oligarchs. ;P
ReplyDeleteKneejerking before Big Yellow Master... Be Prepared! ;-P
ReplyDeleteChmobik talking with famale that gave to it birth... about how their number was halved, how they need to drink their piss... and etc. RUSSIA NEED Lend-Lease... to continue fight with "nazis"... go provide it to em. ;-P
ReplyDeleteI feel that Great Russia and Mighty China... will not overlook, that how MAGA USA DID NOT helped em... with thwarting "nazi" Ukraine and Taiwan. ;-P
ReplyDeleteBecause, "Those who not WITH us... is AGAINST us" -- that is that rule they are living on. ;-P
Molon labe!
ReplyDeletebtw - Europee (san Ukraine) will still be our b*tch.
ReplyDeleteAll as planned. ;-P
ReplyDeleteGirls/women never tried to use you? ;-)
ReplyDeleteI earlier was puzzled about your non-understanding bulling/street fight logic/emotion.
But... maybe you are (despite your age) unaware of such trivia too... %-)))
Maybe it remains trivia for a reason, like the epiphanies of Joyce's "Dubliners".
ReplyDeleteYeah... sci-fi texts...
ReplyDeleteTotally off-topic. But made me a little puzzled
ReplyDeleteHow long ago such a way of holding anchors was introduced?
What for???
Emergency brakes, plus it's keeps them out of the way so that the crew isn't always tripping over them. On wooden sailing ships they were stowed outboard and tied by rope to the gunwales.
ReplyDeleteWell... earlier it was more integrated.
ReplyDeleteYou(West?) was looking with a glee -- and when RFia will throw nukes at Ukraine.
But... they happens to not be idiot -- and understand that throwing nukes at Ukraine -- pointless.
So, now Russian propaganda talking about -- what Western country to use as test bed.
Yawn.
Some European... or North American from get go. ;-P
PS Do you know how many of their subs on-duty? And where they in the ocean?
Not yet corpses sitting among corpses... talking about grave worms. Yawn. ;-P
ReplyDeletePS RFia NEEDS Lend-Lease!!!
The question you should be asking is, do they know where ours are? ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat for???
ReplyDeleteYour limp dick generals will not launch retaliation strike, anyway. ;-P
See what Derpy call it -- lunacy.
ReplyDeleteObviously -- that is not product of his own thought process.
So... how many of your top brass and top "deep state" -- able to look at it rational??
While you yourself playing that silly mind-game here. With pretending that that is "NMP"????
Why you think OTHER your USA peers... should think anyhow better than that???
While you know yourself all that pShaws and Dubyas... DEMN cretins.
And your government -- is ALL DEMN cretins.
And even your favorite dRump -- chanting same DEMN propaganda....
Yet one tip for your Marines ;-P
ReplyDeleteYou're a marker in our game of Risk with Russia and China. We tell you (Europe) how to play, because our markers (US bases) are all over your countries. We've got the "jelly beans", not you.
ReplyDeleteps - So either do as we say, or get us remove our markers from your region of the board.
ReplyDeletePft! ;-P
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame... that you have no decent computer strategy games experience. :-)
ReplyDelete...because they model the world so accurately. @@
ReplyDeleteStill better than tabletop Risk. ;-P
ReplyDeleteMore nuances. More differ approaches. ;-)
Now RFia have North Korean rockets... so, what can stop em... from adding some nuke to it. And launching... on New-York????
ReplyDeleteAhh??? You'd investigate em. And will find for sure -- that was Russians? ;-P
And will launch some retaliation strike.
Or... that will be some dirty bomb. And it'll be launched by some Husiti... on Israel.
So... instead of retaliation. Your DEMNs will be spreading "that was God's punishment... of that puny genocidal Jews"???
You really think we'll wait for the nukes to land and we verify the builder before launching the counterstrike?
ReplyDeleteMaybe in a video game...
ReplyDeleteYeah-yeah... 9/11 was just a video game. Famous in 00th...
ReplyDelete"The Gulf War Did Not Take Place", Jean Baudrillard.
ReplyDelete:-))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
ReplyDeleteWell... maybe nuke over NewArk will not happen too... if we... well, you, will be ignoring it with all your magical might. ;-P
I have a feeling that if that nuke ever comes, it will have been Ukraine's fault.
ReplyDeletePassing blame... that is favorite game in USA.
ReplyDeleteI know it by this time.
Yawn.
Am I too uncivilized... with such my brutally burrish frankness????
ReplyDeleteWell... count me being aspergy. ;-P
Prodding the bear seems to be a favorite Ukrainian game as well. Call me "on the spectrum", too.
ReplyDeleteBS.
ReplyDeleteAnd you are fully on a liliPut narrative.
Though... it self-name itself as rat. "Cornered rat". ;-P
And you...
You, to the sickening feeling in the stomach -- normal.
Avoiding problems, ignoring em, turning blind eyes -- that is overly and utterly NORMAL behavior. ;-P
It's called "caritas" and human civilization is impossible without it.
ReplyDeleteIt is anything "but" normal, biologically.
ReplyDelete???
ReplyDelete"Normal" -- that is human definition.

ReplyDeleteStill binary... XYX or XYY? :P
ReplyDeleteAh, XXYY (1 in 48,000 boys). My bad
ReplyDeleteMy bad x2
ReplyDeleteIn your research about XXYY, you may have seen references from The Intersex Society and others who have classified XXYY as an Intersex Condition (formerly referred to as hermaphrodite – or a person who has both male and female sex organs). Intersex is defined as a group of conditions where there is a discrepancy between the external genitals and the internal genitals (the testes and ovaries).
The XXYY Project wishes to correct a misunderstanding that has been derived from the definition of Intersex, as it relates to the sex of the child. Children born with the XXYY chromosomal makeup are:
Always male – unless there is some other factor involved
There is no discrepancy between the external genitals and internal genitals. Males with XXYY have male sexual reproductive organs
Males with XXYY do not have female organs or genitalia
I prefer occurrences when XYs become perfectly female... because of broken reaction to testosterone. ;-P
ReplyDeleteThat's how slim our "manliness" is. ;-P
Well... scientists profess that Y chromosome will cease to exist at all. ;-P
More likely it's the unnatural abundance of estrogen circulating in the environment (especially FAT). Americans are becoming "obese".
ReplyDeleteAs many men age their testosterone levels tend to decrease and they tend to gain more belly fat. Body fat has an enzyme called aromatase that converts testosterone into estrogens. When someone has higher estrogen levels in their body, their hormonal system tells the body to slow down its production of testosterone.
Yeah...
ReplyDelete\\I prefer occurrences when XYs become perfectly female... because of broken reaction to testosterone. ;-P
ReplyDeleteWell... that's something that impossible to happen in Ancient Greeks times.
Well, even of lately.
Before genes testing that would be just another girl, just happen to be infertile.
Not a "girl" to which confidently revealed by doctors... that he is really a male, geneticly. ;-P
Achilles @ Skyros.
ReplyDeleteHe... did not know that he is male... there? ;-P
ReplyDeletePerhaps in his mind... but his body could not deceive Odesseus (much as Huck Finn couldn't deceive the old lady throwing the ball of yarn into his lap").
ReplyDelete...as his knees drew together to catch it.
ReplyDeleteThere are neural male and female brain expressions (Rhawn Joseph).
ReplyDeleteDo you deliberately trying to argue... or just naturally do not get it?
ReplyDeleteThat was some documentary... Through wormhole with Morgan Freeman if I recall it right.
Where was shown such "male"... perfectly female in body and mind. NOT tranny. NOT crazy. NOT man in drag.
Just a she... that asked doctor "I seems like perfectly healthy and even fully developed and grown up woman -- WHY I can't have kids???? What's wrong with me????!".
And that nasty doctor, after all other usual tests was inconclusive. Suggested to make DNA test.
And. Surprise-surprise! It revealed. That perfectly 100% in body and mind woman... is XY male, geneticly. ;-P
Just because of broken (genetical mutation) receptors of that testosterone.
ReplyDeleteIn other words, she was "both", but "neither".
ReplyDeleteDid you know that testosterone could penetrate the blood-brain barrier?
The movement of testosterone (T) from blood across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is thought to reflect the combined effects of T's lipid solubility and the presence of circulating binding proteins for T such as albumin or sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG)." :P
ReplyDelete\\In other words, she was "both", but "neither".
ReplyDeleteNo.
She was perfectly. 100% -- female.
Even BIGGER amount female than any other ordinary one -- ordinary females still have some testosterone in their veins.
That is just tinsy little discrepancy... it seems XY chromosomes cannot give a healthy egg... well, I was not researching it that much, to know exact reason.
Well... there many-many reasons of infertility. Yawn. So what??? Every non-fertile female is "both" or "neither"???
\\Did you know that testosterone could penetrate the blood-brain barrier?
Khm...
like any other hormone?
DNA indicates that it wasn't 100%. No healthy eggs lowers the 100% as well.
ReplyDeleteThe blood-brain barrier (BBB) is selectively permeable to steroid hormones: some of them (such as the gonadal steroids) can readily pass the BBB, while others (such as corticosteroids) pass only in small concentrations. This may however be modulated by hormone carrier proteins in the plasma.
ReplyDeleteTestosterone is a type of hormone called androgen. There are specific androgen receptors within the brain. Think of these receptors as light switches that only androgen hormones can activate. The hormone can also cross the blood-brain barrier.
ReplyDelete\\DNA indicates that it wasn't 100%. No healthy eggs lowers the 100% as well.
ReplyDelete????
AS they say, Y chromosome is mostly useless. There only some things that related to testosterone production reside.
And well... there is X chromosome. So basic functioning covered by it.
I dunno what precisely not working... you can research it for yourself?
But... there also people of XXYY and etc kinds. So what... they 150% or 200%??? ;-P
\\Testosterone is a type of hormone called androgen. There are specific androgen receptors within the brain. Think of these receptors as light switches that only androgen hormones can activate. The hormone can also cross the blood-brain barrier.
Yap.
And that receptors gone disfunctional... it seems. ;-P
Maybe XY's simply can't make eggs.
ReplyDeleteWho knows...
