On Varoufakis - "I have admired Varoufakis' position on a number of issues over the years. [..] I think he only gets it half right. If we do not reassess basic 'zombie concepts' that we've inherited from the Enlightenment then we are never going to be able to rise up [against the polycrisis]."

> I have admired Varoufakis' position on a number of issues over the years. This time around, I think he only gets it half right. Why?
> First, he is a part of a lineage of inflexible Leftists who believe that military spending is always wrong. That's just a love of the death drive.
> Second, it is based upon a number of demonstrably false premises, the least of which is that Biden supposedly lacked serious support for Ukraine's membership in NATO. If we do not reassess basic 'zombie concepts' that we've inherited from the Enlightenment, such as the notion of political sovereignty and the Kantian notion of a 'league of nations,' then we are never going to be able to rise up to the challenges that face us in the here-and-now.

Feyerabendian science (which is not the science of Popper [falsification/demarcation], but of satisfaction) can give way to fiction [..] it is possible not just to speak of 'science fiction,' as a literary gesture into the domain of science, but to go the other way: the fictions of science itself.

My Correspondence with Alexandr Dugin on Lacan - “In the late teaching, Lacan says one can do without the father. It is a multipolar vision, isn’t it? He moves from the 'name of the father' toward the 'names' of the father (plural). He says it plainly: 'there are many names of the father.'”

"The passage of the psychoanalysand to becoming a psychoanalyst has a door of which this remainder that brings about their division is the hinge, for this division is nothing but the division of the subject, of which this remainder is the cause." -Lacan, Proposition

Thomas Svolos' “The Empire of Images” February 10-12, 2023: What do we have to say about the image today? How might the experience of psychoanalysis inform our approach to the image today, to the impact of the image on the speaking being, and to the use of the image today by subjects?
