This is wrong. Mediations are themselves organized by capital and the law of value. Degrowth without class power, decommodification, ownership change, democratic planning, redistribution, labor empowerment, and ecological justice is just technocratic austerity faking stability.
i think saito's doctrine is strategically misguided, but tactically sound. degrowth is not a civilizational horizon or a return to Nature. it is a tactic for societies whose reproductive apparatus can no longer manage/resolve its scarcities
anna, you tried to free ride off ryan's methexis institute. you seriously considered marrying ryan and i had to talk you out of it. i told you that you need to make your own institute and you insulted me for not believing in ryan enough.
this is your comeuppance. you manipulate men into serving your purposes β which you justify as helping them do what the world needs β but you bit off more than you can chew. oh no, now you feel ACTUALLY raped, except he didn't rape you, but you still dropped the r word in your callout post, didn't you?
YOU instrumentalised ryan because YOU thought you could handle your end of such a transactional relationship, but you couldn't. thus your pent up resentment.
ryan is not more evil than he was two weeks ago. you are not suddenly enlightened as to ryan's evil. this is a "me vs you" crashout based on pride.
i will support you in your spiritual wars but i'm not going to let you denigrate someone you finally convinced me to believe in.
I published a new Pseudcast episode with Ed where we discuss the recent Matrix Reloaded rewatches. But we also talk about Ben Jonson the poet and playwright and his life based on recent readings.
