  • This is the longest Plastic Pills video to date, and it'll take some mental stamina to get through it. That said, this is one of my favourite books, to which I have often alluded, and I hope my rendition does it justice.
    The EXPLAIN DELEUZE TO ME playlist: • Deleuze by Plastic Pills
    There are a few targets here: psychoanalysis (more establishment analysts than Lacan, though they refer to him as well), capitalism, the state, and state philosophy. IMO, I think it is productively read as a political text.
    There will be a more in-depth explainer vid up on my Patreon to deal with their relation to Lacan and what they mean by "capitalism" ( / plasticpills ) and also explaining my presentation decisions, once I recover.

      Thank you for such high quality content, as usual.
      This is an older way of thinking, but it was that the mental state was considered more along a linear continuum with schizophrenia at one end - where the mental boundaries of the neurotypical would be transgressed fluidly - and neuroticism - with its paralyzing, rigid conformity - at the other. In that sense, the schizophrenic mindset does represent polar opposition to rigid conformity (conservation of the status quo). I have some concern.
      To begin, D&G did not have access to more recent studies that correlate hallucinations with trauma to the brain stem (neuroticism - as a disturbance in more abstract thinking - would tend more towards trauma to the cortical region). Reconsidered in this context, I'm not sure I'm so ready to accept that mimicking the thought patterns of someone with trauma to the most fundamental part of their thinking machine is such a brilliant idea. Would I attempt to "outpace" the state (or her agents) in a physical sense by mimicking the gait of someone with a sprained ankle?
      That isn't to say that neuroticism or even neurotypical thinking is "the answer." To the contrary, the systems of exploitation want us to avoid any of the creative thinking of the schizophrenic as well as the overthinking of the neurotic, focused instead on the thoughts they spoon feed us. I think I would prefer to draw inspiration from ALL the different ways my brain can think.
      If I may add another concern, it's that "intentional schizophrenic thinking" sounds like the sort of thing that could very easily think of itself as transgressing boundaries, when it may end up doing it in a manner which still confines it to the predictable. Look at this guy, drinking out of cups! No way! Yes, a sudden interruption in the flow of my writing, but is it schizophrenic if my mind immediately goes to what I've been conditioned through media to think of as schizophrenic?
      In conclusion, I'm sure John MacAfee would agree, how many people do we need raising money for cancer when literally everyone I've ever known has been touched by it, and here's a rocket ship shooting a laser: 8======D~~~~

      @@sk8shred So, I needed a deadline so I made myself plan on finishing it in a month. From there I tried to do 20 pages a day, and I used a black pen and yellow highlighter - I HIGHLY recommend this because you want to notate the book so you won’t have to read it from start to finish again without some kind of system. Next, I’d say read it straight through, and don’t get too hung up on a paragraph or a page, they will usually clarify it later to a certain degree. Also, google the words you don’t know and depending on what the term is, there will be useful resources online to figure it out. Along with that, there are going to be times when they name bomb a lot, I don’t recommend looking up ever individual, rather, see what they’re saying about that individual. I also recommend Daniel W. Smiths lectures (apple podcasts under an “Interregnum” cast that use to exist) bc he’s really really helpful on it. You can also find another one on there where a reading group has gone through chapter by chapter and that helped out some too bc a lot of the beginning stuff is the hardest. Beyond that, I can just say go with god and just try to crank through it

      for what its worth I know guys with PhD qualificatons in friggin Heidegger, himself a pretty mystifying writer, and can Derria in their sleep, who crash on the rocks of D&G unable to figure out wtf these mad frenchmen are on about. This stuff is hard and its no moral fault to be bamboozled by it. I sure am! But its also ok to just take away what you feel you need out of it and ignore the rest. D&G explicitely state as much as that.

      The thing withe Anti-Oedipus (the first philosophy book I've read in it's entirety) is that it operates schizoanalysis throught itself. I too found myself quite schizo after reading it. It absolutely changes ones conscience since it operates the decoding and recoding operation described in the book. The main things one needs to look for in the process of understanding the book is psychoanalysis, linguistics (specially semiology) and a bit of logic and history/anthropology. The thing is to read intuitively, taking notes whenever you catches some ideas flying around, and then revisiting the book after it cools down on you.

    I'm autistic and I had a schizophrenic close friend, and we talked about how autistic people get more attention than schizophrenic people because psychosis is harder to exploit than autism.
    But I think autism gives me some distance from common territorialisations, but in some ways makes me more likely to create territories of my own. Idiosyncratic territories instead of psychotic deterritorialisatiom.
    I also have psychotic tendencies ("psychotic features"), so i can relate to the fluidity, and to be honest, it helps balance out my autistic tendencies.
    There's a way to engage in deterritorialisation and to build "register" fluidity, through art and aesthetics, and you can bridge the gap to ethics through transpersonal non-oedipal intimacy and focusing on implicit, multi- perspectival participation.
    You don't necessarily have to become a nomad, but you need to have a fluid sense of self ("dividuated" as opposed to individuated).
    Becoming minor can be a political and mental deterritorialisation, and a more trans-subjective social deterritorialisation can be found in D-G and Ettinger (yes, Ettinger again!). It's not enough to dividuate and minoritize your politics. You have to practice self-fragilisation on an intimate level, to learn how to connect with other dividuated "partial subjects".
    The link between deterritorialised politics and deterritorialised subjectivity can be seen as the "proto"-ethics of dividuated people connecting in a dividuated way to the dividuated parts of other people. This can be found in schizoanalysis, phenomenology and things like "4e" (embodied, embedded, extended, enacted) cognitive psychology. That can connect to more explicity ethical things like virtue and care.
    Ettinger's entire project can be described as the proto-ethics of "going schizo without going insane". She talks about resonances and registers that are "non-oedipal" that can't be reduced to psychopathology and may arguably be registers that we learned very early on and persist and can never trulyy go away, only be coped and trained in different ways.
    The point is to do so skillfully and avoid pitfalls like oedipal splitting as well as completely unbridled delirium of phantasy that you can't control.

    This perfectly describes my 4 month drug induced psychosis in 2020. I saw myself as connected to history and so too was everyone else. There really was no separation between past or present nor between self and other. I saw how someone's language they used when speaking to me the veiled lies and dishonesties people would tell me and themselves (usually excuses couched in moral language or disguised as ethical obligations). I was completely lucid and to this day I don't think that how I was viewing things was wrong in any real sense... Just difficult and unsustainable in the circumstances I found myself in.
    After I cleaned up I stopped being able to view things that way and I became really depressed and actually missed that state... Years later I am starting to get back to that state but in a much more balanced and manageable way... Less intense, but still intense

I’ve found a balance though. It’s like, those sorts of intensities are always there but I don’t have to tune into them, or rather, I’m just tuned into something else that pushes everything else to the periphery.

    Nice video man. Gotta highlight the fact of how extremely politized “race” is in globalized culture. Almost like the color of your skin breeds debate, breeds discussion on your own existence for certain people, and those same people see the color of your skin, your accent, your ethnicity, your religion, and your nationality on top of what you actually chose to do or speak. Or in other words, it becomes “who said that? Was he black? White? Gay? Russian? American? Was he a she?” Instead of “what did this person say?”

    That microdose hit harder than expected when the podcast I was listening to mentioned 'GameStop' 'Autism' and 'Couldn't buy it fast enough' all within 10 seconds. Mind you, it was recorded in July 2019.
    Then I learned of the existence of the work of Deleuze and Guattari.

    If we are talking Native Tongues as example of deterritorialization, I think the NY graffiti scene is a better example. as the forgotten pillar of hip hop, it’s an artistic act which is inherently illegal, it is - by definition - outside the capitalist wall

    @lostmymuse Před 3 lety +3

    Being versed in Lacanian psychoanalysis helps one read Anti-Oedipus more than most readers of D&G would think. Ultimately, Lacan ends on very similar grounds to what D&G put forth in this book, and that is through the clinic of the Sinthome. The whole Lacan/D&G theoretical split in academia is academic politics par excellence, aimed at generating more knowledge as surplus enjoyment. There are many scholars who have begun to disjunctively synthesise those two fields of thought (see Chiesa, or Nedoh for example).

    I was in real need for a theory like this.
    Since I about 9 months ago started getting into continental philosophy (started with Bataille and Barthes, atm more trying to get a grasp on Baudrillard and Lacan) I've frequently been having experiences of non-linear/schizophrenic thinking.
    I've frequently been coming up with and connecting ideas and signs purely by associative, sometimes almost random thought, and even sometimes perceiving everyday reality in this sort of deterritorrialized fashion.
    I hadn't been able to grasp why this was happening (was even seriously considering if I was starting to go insane), but seeing this I can actually attempt to start making sense of my mind again, perhaps starting with reading Anti-Oedipus and A Thousand Plateaus .
    Thanks for your videos PP, you the best!

    This is amazing! Much kudos and many thanks! Your audio-visual presentation is superb. All it needs is dividing the video into chapters (segments) and making the menu in the down-right corner interactive (clickable). For example, "Delirium & Schizophrenia" - one clicks on the title, the tiny light, the sound and the content appears. That way the viewer can go back and forth, spend more time on some sections ("chapters") and go completely schizo. Thank you so much, I have just found PlasticPills. So good.

    I must say I haven't had such a truly engaged and informative download on a topic I was previously unfamiliar with since... well, I've never had such a great experience ingesting new -and desperately needed- information period. Thank you

  • @timonvader
    @timonvader Před 3 lety +6

    I was in art school (illustration) several years ago and the ideas driving 'art' in general seemed, and still seem, very geared towards deterritorialization; crossing uncrossed boundaries, sticking labels of the one territory on the other. I spoke to someone in the field of Social Design who described this cross-applying of methods and ideas - which seems quite productive. But having been in the art field for a bit, the continued fetishization of a 'new' or 'undiscovered' connection gets strangely stale. I'm not sure if I'm applying the idea correctly, but somehow it seems like going radically artisanal and non-conceptual, to do something (viewed in the art world sometimes as obsolete) such as landscape painting, is a form of deterritorialisation. Or is this just simply being reactive and going against the trend? Anyways, some thoughts I wanted to share, this was a great vid on Deleuze, glad to have finally met him and his buddy G. Top job PlasticPills!

    Dude this was insanely good. It's so tempting to destroy my brain by reading Deleuze now

    • @StockAvuryah
      @StockAvuryah Před 3 lety +4

      Do it, you won't destroy your brain, you can take what you want from it. Here's a Deleuze-pass :
      "It is absolutely necessary that there be a non-philosophical reading of philosophy, otherwise there would be no beauty in philosophy. Philosophy has different readings. As in art, it is better to know it, but without it also allows extremely authentic, pure, violent emotions, in total ignorance, as in painting. Provided that this double reading does not come by chance, but from problems coming from elsewhere. As a philosopher there can be a perception of music, as a musician, as a painter, there can be a perception of philosophy.
      If there is not both readings at the same time, there is nothing. And even a philosopher has to learn to read a great philosopher in a non-philosophical way. There is not necessarily a need to understand. Spinoza as a pocket book can be read like a piece of music. One is always at the cutting edge of one's ignorance or knowledge, one has to settle in. The frontier that separates knowledge from non-knowledge, you have to settle there to have something to say.
      Don't talk about what you don't know though. In science I know just enough to evaluate encounters (compared to philosophy). You have to talk about what you don't know based on what you know, not look like you know when you don't know. It is to establish the echoes between philosophical concepts, artistic perceptions, and scientific functions. A concept can be a character and vice versa.
      A good lecture, everyone can take what speaks to him, a bad lecture does not speak to anyone; it is not necessarily to follow everything but to listen to everything to know when to really wake up."
