It's psychogeography, not psychotography, which sounds like drivel. Is reality fake? You can only define one in relation to the other, ie: reallity is that which is not illusion or fakery, and vice versa. Psychedelics, "magick," postmodern (sorry, hypermodern) theory... grow the fuck up. See...

Google Glass The Occulus Rift 3D TV The Hololens (will never be sold to consumers) Augmented Reality (Pokemon Go! came and went) The Galaxy Fold (was just delayed indefinitely) Smartwatches (changed nothing) I'm starting to think the smartphone and the tablet were the apex of consumer...

I'm sure you were all watching Rap City in the early 90's, so maybe you can help me out. I have a theory that it will be impossible to feel nostalgia for anything 90's and (especially) beyond, and I'm trying to fight it and need your help. I will not let nostalgia die! Here are some personal...

I correctly predicted Hollywood's next attempt at an "inspiring" or "aspirational" biopic would be about Elton John, and even correctly guessed it would be called "Rocketman." I wish I had proof of this but you will have to take my word for it. My guess: Prince. Title: "My Name is Prince."...

Give me Disco. At least they knew how to play goddamn instruments. Club music is club music. Disposable, a product of its time and social scene. Stripped of its 'newness' and its social context it barely qualifies as music. Purely functional, and purely intended to keep the cattle dumb, wasted...

It feels like liberals (at least in the US) are in this undead state. All the life, energy, youth, and new ideas have drained out of them, maybe wasted on moral outrages over transgender bathroom rights and other unsubstative clickbait "issues." Everyone freaking out over Donald Sterling's...

Someone had to do it, so it might as well be me. What does Dissensus think of Billie? I'm dying to know. Personally, I hope she's a sign of a post-millennial paradigm shift in pop music from breezy sentimentality and pseudo-sincerity to perverse horror-psychedelia hypno-pop. I hope this...

on audiobook, read by Tom Hollander, is a fucking religious experience. I mean, when I trip on Lysergic now I think in NADSAT. And women love it, just drives them bonkers. I can't say enough. I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but for the, you know, unconverted, you can experience it...

how do people feel about the IQ test as a measure of intelligence? I have some fundamental problems with it, especially the tests that rely heavily on word scrambles and other question types that seem to involve a degree of luck. As far as I'm concerned, there is no way to measure intelligence...

does anyone else use twitter? i think it's going to revolution sex, politics, media, and everything else. actually i don't think it will revolutionize anything, but it's a great way to find drugs in your city, or type stupid drug-addled shit online you won't want to remember when you read it...

this is for a new volume in the Deleuze Connection series, published by some university press, can't remember. Deleuze and Sex Edited by Frida Beckman ”Making love is not just becoming as one, or even two, but becoming as a hundred thousand.” (Anti-Oedipus) For Gilles Deleuze, sexuality...

"Tai Djin was born in China in 1849. He was born unique, afflicted with hypertrichosis. Unlike Jo-Jo, who would be born a few decades later, Tai Djin was born into a highly superstitious family. As A result they saw his affliction as the work of demons and he was left in the forest to die. A...

Anyone know of a blog or website that provides updates with new Calls for Papers, conferences, etc.? Ideally in the areas of literature, film, or new media, with a strong slant toward continental theory citations. It seems like I'm always late to the party, so to speak.The Continental Philosophy...

Let's say global warming reaches a point where it is irreversible (this may already be the case). Is anyone working on technologies to reverse its effects? I don't mean preventive "Green" tech like hybrid cars or solar cells, I mean something more along the lines of terraforming, changing the...
