w҇e҇e҇k҇e҇n҇d҇ ҇l҇i҇n҇k҇s҇: the violence of heaven, history’s new surprises, the chthonic swamp

Jupiter Rising: “It is not that the public is in some deep slumber or guided hypnosis, but that they are so deeply humiliated and abused that they don’t even know who they are anymore. Many Americans don’t even know their own fathers, let alone contemplate or internalize the triumphs of their ancestors.” The Cionci Thesis:…

weekend links: chaotic potential, the violent death of men, Psalm 91

From City to Civium: “The fourth industrial revolution really is at hand — but the WEF is completely wrong. They are correct in recognizing that a massive technical wave is sweeping across our economic landscape, but they make the mistake of thinking that the city (and its nature) is an invariant. As a result, they have…

Weekend Links — Hyperobjects, Temporality, and the Book of Job

Posted on March 19, 2023 by tundranaut

Magonia As Hyperobject: “If the UFOs are psychic devices, then the real question is not about the devices or machines themselves, but what they serve as such equipment.” Metacosmos: “Behold the time machine called ‘metacosmos’ that pounds on the fabric of reality. The machine does not travel, it prints a timeline, and the world moves. Unceasing,…

Culinary Mysticism — review of “Pig,” starring Nicolas Cage  (IM1776) Rob does not hate Portland; like Socrates, who dismisses outright the idea of fleeing Athens for Thessaly, he sees it from the standpoint of eternity, and so both loves it and knows it to be deeply broken: Amir: “If the city floods we can always…

Lost and Found in the Cartographical Matrix

Posted on June 26, 2021June 27, 2021 by tundranaut

I’ve been thinking about “place” a lot lately. Thinking about “place” led to me write this blog post, which got me digging through the great book Applied Ballardianism again, and a chapter called “Cartographies of the Infinite,” where author Simon Sellars contemplates whether future cities can be “tuned to produce a kind of stereoscopic urbanism.”…

#1: A General Theory of Collaboration: “Anyone who reads Vaclav Havel’s Power of the Powerless will be struck by Havel’s portrait of Czechoslovakia forty years ago—with its voluntary window-slogans; its endless parade of crusades; its inexorable machinery of human cancellation. Havel had the right strategy for the subjects of the total state. First, they must…

Cities and the Balance of Power: “Cities are like massive information-processing units, with real-estate markets revealing the value of being able to access the networks involved. People put a dollar value on physical colocation and proximity to others who have similarly paid a high price to access density. This implicit sorting lies at the heart of…

Baudrillard: “America”

Posted on August 7, 2019August 7, 2019 by tundranaut

Taking inventory of my summer reading. Here are some favorite passages from Jean Baudrillard‘s “America.” (Emphases mine.) Driving  This sort of travel creates its own peculiar type of even and innervation, so it also has its own special form of fatigue.
