Enemies of Dissensus

[IdleRich]

ILM is but a grain within my panoramic scope! Granted a defunct board of philistines is easy to pick on.

So it is defunct?

 

[Clinamenic]

There is still a pulse.

 

[constant escape]

ozystandias

 

[Clinamenic]

How flattering! Good thing someone else made it.

 

[Clinamenic]

You're always right there when I need you @constant escape but you really oughtn't abandon your barpost so often.

 

[Clinamenic]

I should reconsider posting while intoxicated. It constitutes a major liability, a tightrope-walking, etc.

Dissensus needs better enemies - better still, one really serious enemy, who crystallises in a vivid way everything that we are collectively for by embodying everything that we are collectively against. An enemy whose scorn is our succour, whose tears our nectar. We must seek out this person, whoever they may be, and remorselessly antagonise them.

 

[craner]

Maybe the real enemy is already here.

 

[wild greens]

Brevity?

were we under attack this morning?

You don't understand McKenna because you are not intelligent enough you need to stop pissing about and get serious

Yes well, tell that to the hippies from Somerset and Wiltshire who love to sample him 50 million times. You're nailing your colours to them. Have some self-respect.

Worse than goldsmiths freshers trying to act like Jammer.

I met Terence McKenna a couple of times and he was really engaging. Interviewed him at the ICA when he was part of a thing there.

The Rollercoaster of Transcendence: An interview with Terence McKenna

Gyrus: Firstly, have you seen Independence Day, and what did you make of it? Terence: I didn’t see it, because I saw enough of it in shorts to realize it’s The Day The Earth Stood Still with worse actors and more money. Gyrus: Fair enough. Now, do you see a contradiction in the desire to […]

His ideas were mainly a load of tosh, but he was a fun guy. (one for Mr Tea there).

I agree with @poetix that this thread needs more focus. McKenna is just a source of beef between luka’s psychedelic poetry faction on here and third’s psychedelic communist faction on here.

does this hypothetical enemy need to be someone we might have interactions with, like craners nemesis owne hatherly, or are we looking for some public figure who explemfies everything we are against and due to distance we can project on even more.

 

[linebaugh]

Im sure gus has a carefully kept black book with names addresses and phone numbers of the former, but Leo is the only one in brooklyn and is a little too old to be giving out lashings.

 

[linebaugh]

Im not a very hateful person, Im actually a very cool guy, so Im interested in the project

 

[craner]

I would just like to point out, for the millionth time, that I don't have any interactions with Owen Hatherely and he isn't my nemesis.

 

[poetix]

Owen has always spoken very highly of Oliver as a writer, as it happens.
