i went "shopping" today in wicker park and the only place i didnt feel completely alienated was the bookstore. went to urban outfitters, a few other clothing shops, a few record stores, some shitty novelty shops, then book store. hell yeah! my element! then later went to a yuppie bar, i lost my faith in humanity, then went to a hipster dive, and my faith in humanity was restored, with beauty, and love, and relaxation, and some offers to moisten my c0ck based on art & philosophy ramblings

e: someone called me the "ultimate hipster" today

that book by Marcuse on Hegel ownss



so, after a brief explication of marx, marcuse goes on to just beautifully obliterate positivist sociology, or what we in our times might simply call "common sense." i implore all serious people to read Reason and Revolution, if not for the Hegel or marx bits than at least for the section called The Foundations of Positivism and the Rise of Sociology, which is downright spooky,

i've also started reading Richard Boothby's Freud as Philosopher: Metapsychology after Lacan after having been deeply impressed by his earlier Death and Desire: Psychoanalytic Theory in Lacan's Return to Freud. this obviously has limited appeal.

at the same time i am beginning to read Beyond Capital: Marx's Political Economy of the Working Class by Michael Lebowitz for some reason

i tried to read heidegger and the word Daesin kept on coming up and i was all 'yeah fuck this shit until i've got to grips with husserl first at least.' one day i will conquer the kingdom of ontology and all of philosophania will tremble under the shadow of my Broadsword o' Books and girls will want to let me squeeze out kensplatter in their squicky bits



im doing alright without reading husserl and instead just going off of dreyfus's two podcast series as well as a handful of egsvideos and also brute force bashing my mind against the various texts repeatedly. admittedly that "just" there is doing a lot of work because the podcasts alone are probably ~50 hours total

you could do what everybody else does and just pretend heidegger is saying whatever you want him to be saying (which apparently is some sort of ontological antisemitism according to ZOG academia)

Freud as Philosopher is slow going indeed, but ultimately,i think, worth it.Richard Boothby tends to like to use exactly those of Freud's theoretical objects that are most often rejected for either being anachronistic or just plain crazy, and to fabulous effect.

Richard boothby should be ranked along side Paul Verhaeghe as one of contemporary lacanian psychoanalysms most hypnotized dupe
