Better off, as in healthier?

a lot of deleuze is lsd language we know in our bones from taking a lot of drugs, we dont need to translate. its wasted effort

 

[linebaugh]

What makes me as mad as the language itself is the suspicious amount of talk online about it yet almost no one that can explain in a grounded way

Thats a good point. But how can we convey it to the powerful people who demonize LSD?

Burroughs, Pynchon and acid were an easier way in for me. Although I appreciate form following content in A Thousand Plateaus. Actually reading something rhizomatic gets the idea across better than simply explaining it does.

I feel like I've gotten a grasp of some things that are at first impenetrable and then done my due diligence answering questions online. So I just assume if you cant do that you dont actually know what your talking about. Ive also taught highschoolers and its wild how shakey your understanding of things can be when you try and teach them

That's a Feynman point, I think. If you can't walk outside and explain something to the first person you see, you don't understand it yourself.

hope no one takes this the wrong way, but when you're (even pretending to be) excited about potentially being the only person here to have read that particular text, which is arguably the best-sellling, most frequently cited and publicly discussed philosophical text on science of the past five or six decades, the challenge is in your head

There's also the one attributed to Einstein about not being able to explain something simply meaning you don't understand it well enough. I've no idea whether he actually said that though. You have to be on your toes with these quotes you find online.

I'm inclined to take these standards seriously. It incentivizes accessible discourse, and you get to learn it more thoroughly.

I think Tea was just fucking around because there isn't much science talk on here. I certainly haven't read it.
