@14JUN1995 @LuminanceBloom @h_blaubear I think this is Latour's argument in love your monsters

[Jason Q Han @JasonQHan]

On this point, I think Adorno and others were profoundly successful such that we understand the implicit connection between Nazism and modernity. However, this means the exigency of that debate has been lost a little bit to time, and makes some of its interventions look abstract.

[Jason Q Han @JasonQHan]

Good article. I think one thing that gets slightly lost in the shuffle is the intellectual context of those like Adorno in those post war years when they make an analogy between the camps and the atomic bombs, agriculture etc. For Adorno, invariably when he notes this...

What fires burned at Auschwitz? On the place of the Holocaust in uneven and combined development. Something that Ive been wrestling with for some time, distilled into the latest chartbook newsletter.

[Jason Q Han @JasonQHan]

he's arguing against those who would disconnect the Holocaust from modernity (this is explicit in the history and freedom lecture, for instance) and also those who would throw up their hands and state the issue was not worth discussing (as he notes in the metaphysics lecture)

I thank Frédéric Neyrat and Doron Darnov for letting me write for Alienocene as well as Anna-Sophie Springer and Mona Schäfer at K. Verlag.

[Jason Q Han @JasonQHan]

In Alienocene, I wrote on Anne Alombert's Digital Schizophrenia (K. Verlag, Pensées soignées, 2025), expertly translated by @DJRoss70. Alombert's text is a rejoinder to a contemporary problem: thinking the deleterious effects of AI without mystification

@attheimax @ettingermentum Old man out of touch with the zoomers!

@valueformhater One of butlers longest engagements with adorno comes in the relatively recent "Notes on a Performative Theory of Assembly." Pretty interesting (and critical!) contemplation of "No right life in the false one." prolly already aware of this tho I bet

[Jason Q Han @JasonQHan]

@StefanBuczko Nmecha is right there

[Jason Q Han @JasonQHan]

@h_blaubear that's basically the upshot of the letter to a harsh critic. He got some good barbs in there

@LarsPollmann I'm personally enjoying the chaos of "manchester city but can instead of rodri"

[Jason Q Han @JasonQHan]

You could just as well argue that Hincapie is impeding Tim Kleindeist, no? Seems a terribly harsh decision there

I’ve come to the conclusion that “retro” by our old definition doesn’t work anymore, because the capabilities of the PS3 tech from 18 years ago really aren’t THAT different from now. Compare to 18 years before PS3 and you get the NES which is practically prehistoric in fidelity

[ian maxton @attheimax]

either a really good year or really bad year to have read libra

[Jason Q Han @JasonQHan]

@tyorrique This is "Marginalia to Theory and Praxis," I know it from the Critical Models book, but you can find it online on its own.
