Marina Abramovic would be another example of Claustrophilia.
@”thetrizzard” Here is Gender Trouble in PDF format: https://selforganizedseminar.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/butler-gender_trouble.pdf
I will upload a copy on the forum at some point.
Until reading Land, I used to roll my eyes at this idea of occidental decline, but I think there is something to it now.
Capitalism requires an opposition, otherwise it’s too nihilistic. In regards to Fisher, watch ‘Sapphire and Steel’ on YouTube.
@”Wage” Welcome to OPF! Please introduce yourself in the introductions section. 🙂
I don’t see anything you wrote as at all misleading. Kudos to you however for being willing to evolve your ideas though.
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance has a similar story.The South Indian monkey trap is an age old method for catching live monkeys. It is used in the novel to illustrate the concept of value rigidity in human beings.
Here is how it works as a monkey trap.
It consists of a coconut hollowed out from one end and chained to a stake in the ground. Some sweet rice is placed inside the coconut. The hole in the coconut is big enough for a monkey to put its hand in and grab the rice, but too small for it to remove its fist with the sweet rice.
Curiously, there is no physical barrier preventing a monkey from escaping this trap; there is only a mental barrier.
The Monkeys’ inability to reevaluate rice in the context of their new circumstances costs them their freedom. Will the monkey learn that it has to let go of the rice in order to regain its freedom?
We as human beings have our own ‘sweet rice’ which can prevent us from achieving more freedom.
That’s why you are winning MOTM so far!

^I think that’s as fair as it can be said.
Nietzsche was the first to use the term psycho-physiology and he unites mind/body/spirit in the context of materialism. He doesn’t make a mind/body distinction, we are our bodies.
Treating mind and body separately, multiplies & disseminates experiences – treating them as a psycho-somatic entity (relativity*) enables to integrate experiences.* see “A Thelemic view of consciousness” (General Religion, Occult and Spiritual Discussion)
I will interject here to say this is not a matter of relativity, but rather contextuality – http://cogprints.org/2621/1/PhilCogSci2-Contextuality.pdf
Sounds more like you are talking about Will.
It would mean consciousness is another word for God in a panentheist sense. Just like Being can be. It borders on idealism.
Highly exploitative capitalism indeed, platforms can run without assets and are not profitable and survive through venture capital welfare, in particular Uber. All the costs are incurred by the workers.
Funding dries up and it soon becomes a luxury product and will die off most likely.
Uber want to move to self driving cars lol.
