A slice of rat brain has been embodied in a supercomputer according to the Blue Brain project.(2015)
Are the mental aspects surfacial and in that respect quantum. In the interstices of matter, of flesh and visibility rather than meat? The Husserlian egological structure will compute this alongside Zermelo Fraenkel set theory with severe amendments. The glories of the supercomputer, the quantum computer, the Whiteheadian computer the ITTM/ISTM

Husserl features as a film star in Bernard Stiegler's three part Time and Technics.
Phenomenological Armed Robbery. Operation Enduring Freedom. 'Cyclonopedia: Complicity with Anonymous Materials' by Reza Negarestani. Its link to Nick Land Jardim de Belem
Asleep in drink The somnolent glimpse At the River Tagus, Resting among starlings Whose banter can’t be translated To those oblivious to the world. From one café on Rua Vieira Portuense, To the ecstasy of inebriation, To drink asleep In Lisbon’s parks. I've written some short fragments on contemporary politics based loosely on Holderlin.
To read Laplanche and Heidegger on Holderlin. More Romantic cuts based on Holderlin's biography. My need to cut Hymns I've written. Title needed. Passing interest in Bernard Stiegler convicted armed robber and philosopher of time and technics.
Beautiful short film of his on the Danube. Technics as third memory. Would like to see the more complete Der Ister film accompanying theHolderlin/Heidegger type book. The Rhine is far longer than the Danube in lines, I have touched the latter. The origins of language. Plath-like poems need quite a bit of work but fundamentally they are strong.
Fragments of Holderlin Hymns become contemporary political. Poetically Man Dwells. Almost completed translation-version of Holderlin's 'O what a lovely blue' by method of triangulation.
I really like Sieburth's translations of Hymns and Fragments. The Penguin Translations of Hamburger aren't as poetic. More literal. Planning to read Husserl's 'Crises'.
After Deleuze's Dialogues II. Interested in returning to Laruelle's two books on photography and Derrida's book on photography. Why photography rather than experimental film? The spirituous lymph and the studium/punctum. Self-consistent images form and impinge rather than being an act of saccadic will. I wrote three Holderlin-like poems.
Obviously I'm interested in his extremes of depression and elation, yet described as schizophrenic with a schizogenic mother. Hypersensitive as a youth, devoted in a religious sense to the impossible Suzette. His Diotima. I had a discussion with 2nd hand bookseller about his wide selection of books by Gilles Deleuze.
He explained that they were all his books and that apart from 'A Thousand Plateaus' they make no sense at all, they send one mad and that this explained Deleuzes suicide coupled with his lung problems. 'I was welcome to them.' |
