So they're saying that it's a bit uncoordinated or something, cos whilst it is a workforce, they cannot work in any kind of meaningful way as a whole?Yes, in this example
thinking doesnt exist. all you are doing is wrinkling your brow. in the same way you might if you were badly constipated. you either get it or you dont.This is the first book I've read in a while where thinking begins to feel like physical exertion.

No not that it's a bit uncoordinated but that if the workforce wanted to, it could become a work force with an entirely different end. The workforce of the sandwich shop could say fuck it and start making furniture. I believe thats why the bwo is called 'anti-production.' The workforce as the bwo is the virtual body of possibilities for production, just like capital is the virtual body of possibilities for capitalistic productionSo they're saying that it's a bit uncoordinated or something, cos whilst it is a workforce, they cannot work in any kind of meaningful way as a whole?

Yeah I think “undefined” here is critical, at least for my understanding of these things.whats confusing is that all the terms shift depending on the angle you look. the bwo in one system may not be the bwo in another system.
Ive heard it described that the workers, as a group in the abstract, are the bwo of the factory- the undefined conglomeration of work power before it begins producing as individualized roles. Ive also thought of it as the hypothetical ur-shape of a fractal pattern in that its impossible to isolate said shape from the fractal pattern due to its where-does-it-end/begin nature but its this hypothetical shape that the pattern is producing 'on top of'
but really getting hung up on terms isnt advised because they largely abandon them for different but basically the same terms in following sections. its like the book produces word clouds that capture a general vibe/phenomenon in lieu of definitions.
Autocorrect, should say bwoWhat's the neo?
The intro epigraph's great,Miller
I think I'm describing having to actively concentrate. My usual experience of reading is understanding the words and sentences at the speed they're being read, but with this I'm having to reread things and finding myself not actually knowing what I've just read.what do you think you are thinking about version? i mean, what is the fundamental problem you are absorbed in? there is nothing to think about. there are opactities but you wont make them transparent by 'thinking' whatever it is you think thinking is.
It may be interesting to posit the ego as the immaterial phenotype of a certain region of the brain, rather than just trying to defy it completely which often seems to amount to chasing ones own tail and inflaming the very condition one may be seeking to remedy, I.e internal suffering.The intro epigraph's great,
"We must die as egos and be born
again in the swarm, not separate
and self-hypnotized, but individual
and related."
