hello fellow deni/x/en

Comfiest ghost story I've read so far. Feels like most other places portray ghosts as some evil and hostile entity. Here, they're just like normal people that happen to be dead and haven't been able to move on for whatever reason. Sill very much human.

Only problem for me was that I read it in Spanish, and my vocabulary isn't as good as it could be, so I feel that held me back from understanding certain parts.

Negative Horizon is the only Virilio book I've read so far. It is pretty interesting and delves into a kind of anthropology of his theory of Dromology, a philosophy that understands humanity and evolution/technology through increasing speed and decreasing distance.

The introduction to my copy was completely dense and unintelligble, I suspect the translator was trying to arrive at some kind of poetic synthesis of the book's theories, but it made very little sense. So you might want to skip the introduction if your copy has one.

The Perfect Crime is an amazing book, I've read it 3 times now. Its not a good introduction to Baudrillard's theory of Simulation, but it's probably his best developed version of the theory. Start with Simulations and Simulacra to understand his theory of simulation, but the Transparency of Evil is probably the best overall introduction to his theory.

the CCRU archive.... has some gems. I haven't finished it. But the Lemurian Time War essay on Burroughs has radically changed my opinions on the possibilities for framing both critical theory and art making. Hyperstition is probably an insane idea, but I'm still exploring it.

>I have this strange coping mechanism when i fuck up something up: i lie to myself (by not placing the responsibility of said fuck up on myself) so i don't have to feel bad, then i internally acknowledge that i'm lying to myself so i don't feel bad about lying to myself, then i recognize the fact that i'm not feeling bad anymore because of aforementioned acknowledgement as a bad thing, and at the end i stop caring about the original fuck up. I can't say it doesn't work, but after the whole process i'm left with a feeling of Weltschmerz.

Apparently, Negative Horizon is one of the few books I can't get via my library, which is a shame. I'l try some of his other texts, as
>philosophy that understands humanity and evolution/technology through increasing speed and decreasing distance.
this is my jam. One thing I'll say, the anglo people writing an introduction to whatever "big book" of continental philosophy usually manage to be the lonngest winded, most obscure bastards this side of pure synesthesia.

As far as Baudrillard goes, I think I have a decent grip of his theories though I've yet to read a few of his books. Would you say that Fatal Strategies comes before or after The Perfect Crime?

Shit, I forgot there was (at least) an essay on Burroughs in that cornucopia of weirdness. I have to come back to it. Is there anyone still working on Hyperstition and the likes? In the last couple of years, it seemed like the entirety of the "aleternative" philosophical blogo/article-sphere collapsed in ignominy.

>Would you say that Fatal Strategies comes before or after The Perfect Crime?
I've only read an excerpt of Fatal Strategies, so I couldn't say. But if you haven't read any of Baudrillard, I'd recommend reading Simulation and Simulacra, then The Transparency of Evil, then the Perfect Crime, then Impossible Exchange. Those feel like key texts, but Cool Memories, America and the Conspiracy of Art are also interesting books, if not key to his theory.

>Is there anyone still working on Hyperstition and the likes? In the last couple of years, it seemed like the entirety of the "aleternative" philosophical blogo/article-sphere collapsed in ignominy.
I have no idea, I know very little about the CCRU and it's off shoots. I grabbed some pdfs recently of Fanged Noumena, Nihil Unbound, Cyclonopedia and some other stuff I'm forgetting. It's currently on my reading list to sort out.

you should be troubled by this. You surely do something very unusual and hide it from others. If you can't recognize it, you may be hiding it from yourself.

I used to shit with the toilet seat up. I did this for years, recongizing it was wrong, but not really being conscious of it at the same time. It wasn't until the age fo 24 I really recognized it fully, saw it head on.

Believe that I am the chosen one, the smartest. During the week I stay upstairs in an 85 year old ladies house near where I work, but I own a house 2 hours away. Her 55 year old son clogs up the toilet downstairs with his poop all the time so i just pee in bottles and don't poo there, to avoid opening the toilet and seeing a turd.
