  • What are you talking about?i

    The more precise phrase is What the hell are you talking about?! As a theorist, philosopher, critical thinker, etc..have you ever gotten that response from someone you start talking to? I appreciate the ‘hell’ part of it Because it shows a certain moxie, a certain interest in wanting to know. Like my previous post “wtf…

  • Direct Tangent 4.28: What can I say ? Part 1.

    Its about time I get to the point. I have spent plenty of time talking around the issue. I have talked about Bad Faith and mentioned the issue, I’ve talked about aspects of the issue and indicated that all this has to do with the reason why Laruelle seems bogged down in jargon. I feel…
