"In the Greek origins of philosophical thought we find such concepts as zetesis, seeking, kinesis, being moved to seek, and nous, the medium of the soul in which this takes place. Thus, we begin, not with definitions of some kind, but with movements, spiritual tensions, in which a human being in a concrete society exists."

— Eric Voegelin, "The Meditative Origin of the Philosophical Knowledge of Order"

This painting is over 500 years old, but looks like it could have been made yesterday.

It might seem like an acid trip - it's actually the greatest warning about sin ever painted... (thread) 🧵

1) 🤣 (Best paper title ever?)
2) This is the Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem of machine learning.
3) It also should have been obvious to anyone who realizes that the map is never the territory.

Anthony McCall's landmark light projection "Line Describing a Cone" is legendary but I had never seen the sketch Solid Light, made in 1973, before.

👁️🔄📀 Ring in the new year with this wonderful conversation on cybernetics and the philosophy of the weird with @Phipps_Mmm + @JF_Martel and Phil Ford of @weirdstudies!

This one's a truly delicious four-way riff-fest on the emergence of the cybernetic era as a kind of numinous event in human history — a divine invasion that transfigures us and forces us to think about which boundaries *should* melt away and which should stay where evolution learned to put them...

Dig in and help us immanentize the Eschaton (and/or help banish whatever we let in through the myriad portals of our glowing globe-encircling panopticon):

PS — A huge shout-out and thanks to @erik_davis, who if not for trickster intervention would have joined us for this call, but who loomed VERY large over the whole thing regardless! <3

Baurdillard GOAT. Already in 1980s running against the organological thesis on technics with an idea of technology as death drive.
