I got it the other day. Nice, glossy cover. I keep seeing him come up in relation to the pandemic.I might read that book. I don't really know anything about girard. I was gonna read a bataille next as a philosophy type book. But maybe I'll get that girard.
Someone just made an NFT company called 'Accursed Share',I've read loads of novels recently, I want to read some philosophy. Urbanomic made batailles accursed share sound good. But maybe this one would be good as well.
Speak for yourselfits not for the likes of me and catalog. we're not clever enough.
French.What are batailles and girard if they're not philosophy. They are a bit more sociological maybe? I'm sure batailles is philosophy.
Everything is very current at the moment, don't you think? Currency is the main thing we are bothered about at the moment is what I meanThe Baudrillard book I'm reading atm's good.

I guess, but this felt moreso. He ended a chapter talking about different stages of catastrophe, from natural to manufactured to pre-programmed, and said we're at the second stage (it was published in '92) which is when they're foreseeable. The third stage is deliberate and experimental, a direct result of trying to avoid the first stage, the natural catastrophe, because we can't bear to have our end dictated by anyone but us.Everything is very current at the moment, don't you think?
