Absolutely amazing orator and a truly evolutionary process of thinking into the organised abstract if that’s possible.
Absolutely amazing!
@gen6k Correlationism is not idealism.
Manuel Delanda mentions that a genetic algorithm could be applied by only using the computer. I think computers are one of several mediums and/or dimensions in which we could applied and genetic algorithm. Think about nature, it does evolve and if we simple mimic with a math algorithm a structure from nature we could create a GA with the hand and paper… Computer is a tool of many possible ones… I would say computers open up a wide range of possible dimensions and/or worlds…
This man is a supreme poseur.
I am becoming “infinitesimal”
He’s not got it quite right – at least according to Kauffman’s ‘Origins of order’ which in many ways sums up the contemporary take on evolution (which is very much influenced by complexity theory). The ‘survival of the fittest’ is not thrown out of evolution, it is adapted or rather better understood thourgh ‘fitness landscapes’ and spaces of possibility (which are not infinite).
Desire. DeLanda excises any discussion of desire from his ‘Deleuzian’ assemblage theory.
So the intro to Deleuze is whack, but the lecture its self is becoming.
DeLanda my mayne, you ain’t breakin it down so good brother. “Deleuze never said a word about phenomenology” The dude was all about moving passed phenomenology, he was all over it.
As far as i know, post-modernism allows everything to be questined and can deconstruct all “real” ideas. plus post-modernist clearly accept the realtion between object and subject. maybe i am wrong but i dont understand how post-modernist are ideologist. even language might be consideret as the fundamental object. hmmm
while this is a useful explication deleuzes concept, the portrayal of idealism or postmodern thinking is just a laughable reduction.
Please enlighten me, because I don’t know of a single post-modern philosopher who does not, in principle, object agains the traditional Cartesian substantialist notion of the subject. So where is the idealism?
Semantics
alot of postmodern philosophy does fall under idealism or correlationism which is a larger class of idealism. if youre not a realist youre an idealist. the decendents of kant.
This is rather pathetic. To call post-modern philosophy ‘idealist’, an to put phenomenology in the same bag, is a gross simplification. This is not serious, or rigorous.
thank you
