AI will never be a total substitute for art because AI can never recreate the feeling of making art.

taemin a chameleon-serpent hybrid our beautiful seductive color-changing shapeshifter

honestly yeah (land can gtfo though)

journalists like "Well you can't expect me"—YOU ARE THE FUCKING ASSHOLE WHO FEELS ENTITLED TO BE A JOURNALIST. THAT IS YOU. NO ONE FORCED YOU TO BE A JOURNALIST. NO ONE FORCED YOU TO FACE THE ETHICAL CHALLENGES OF BEING A JOURNALIST. THERE ARE JOURNALISTS WHO PAID THE PRICE FOR HONESTY. YOU ARE DOGS

molecular multiplicities, see Deleuze

random bullshit bc i'm always thinking of useless things: jinki has a song named animals where he literally transforms into a wolf + also what his (inactive) twitter handle means -> deleuze becoming-animal? and then ofc - taemin as becoming-woman... ontae the deleuzian duo? (goes hard, lol)

Starting to come around to the idea that aggressively blocking people can be a failure mode itself because it allows a certain type of person to develop absolutely bizarre theories of the world by ensuring they tacitly affirm themselves in their engagement.

deleuze and guattari

reaching flow state by listening to taemin eclipse on repeat while closing my eyes in deep thought over deleuzian becoming-minor / becoming-woman

now every time i reread nietzsche my mind forms automatic connections with bataille ... like ... as if my dumb brain isn't aware of the fact that bataille drew inspiration from nietzsche not the other way around. same for when i read deleuze too.

Omelas already exists: no need to build it or choose it. We already live here –in the narrow, foul, dark prison we let our ignorance, fear, and hatred build for us and keep us in, here in the splendid, beautiful city of life...

shouting into the void but this is a general PSA: just because you have a niche opinion that goes totally against the majority on a topic or if you're a "centrist" doesn't make you morally superior or smarter. yeah i know superficial readings of Nietzsche have "told" you otherwise but get a grip omg

posting this here bc i just thought of it suddenly and i don’t want to forget later but— ephemeral gaze = lines of flight/differenciation? “the reason for my existence” “the direction of my life” “the end of my gaze is always you”

Doing art badly is good and sacred

some unorganized-ish notes/reflections from my reading of patricia reed's 'orientation in a big world' (🧵):

thinking about stuff ... Deleuzo-Guattarian body without organs as production through antiproduction, heterogeneous interplay of deconstruction and construction ... hm

Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college: 1) Nietzsche 2) Music and Postmodernism 3) Horror of the Social 4) Intro to Buddhist Philosophy 5) Music, Language, and Cognition

Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power. They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.

every now n then i have to dissociate myself from kpop fandom culture for how allonormative it is

if you're big on continental philosophy and critical theory but you're not a leftist/left adjacent then i'm embarrassed for you

as much as I dislike Plato's theory of Forms i feel obligated to return to IDEA's music video and piece it apart for references and appearances from the cave allegory, as well as other surrounding contextual dialogue from Republic book 7

it's so interesting to see taemin releasing a song that is strung around platonic metaphysics and the cave allegory (IDEA) only to basically do a total 180 and start flirting heavily with post-structuralist / post-platonic thinkers e.g. bataille
