  • Harman’s Folly.

    I submit that Harmans OOO is concerned with philosophical objects, and due to this focus, understands reality is hidden behind a screen of sense. We can begin to see that Harman’s real objects reflect that he sees himself as dealing with thought as the foundation of everything else, Becuase obviously he is using his proposal…

  • Standing in wonderment: The case against the psychologist who shall not be named (JP 😉).

    I am intrigued about this Jordan Peterson phenomenon and so I’m trying to at least invest a little time into finding out what he is really saying. So above is a little clip of him on the Bill Maher show. I got to say that Bill Maher just clicked down a few notches on my…

  • Commenting on a Philosopher without giving him more undue celebrity.

    I had an opportunity this morning to confront one of my biases. This one was about THe-Philosopher-Who-Will-Not-Be-Named (TPNN for short). Look in the comments of my pervious post about Derrida for a short video of a piece of one of his talks. I historically disliked TPNN Becuase I feel he is missing a key component…

  • Quantum Computing and its relevance to Philosophy.

    via A few videos on quantum computing and the physics of time I want to come back to later — Mark Carrigan In order to move forward philosophically, we must get out of our philosophical head that everything must reduce to 0 or 1, nothing or common reality. I begin with that statement because this…

  • Revisiting the Conference. 2007

    dar.aucegypt.edu/bitstream/handle/10526/3479/Speculative Realism transcript.pdf The Speculative Realism meeting of the minds transcript. It is good to revisit original discourses, for sure. I myself am reminded of what they really are saying, pieces which through my own reliances, arguments, emphasis and repetitions, I have set aside. It is good to be refreshed, for example, Miellassoux’s original setting,…

  • Repetition and Repetition. 

    Below is a post by Levi Bryant. Part of my one-sided interaction with him is a sort of incredulousness towards the situation wherein Mr. Bryant has found his kind of Speculative Realism; whatever title he may want to put to it, it appears that all of these SR authors (or whatever Realist projects have replaced…

  • The Unpopular Option.

    Below is a Cool little synopsis of SR, but id like to just address that last bit at the end: “opposed to correlationalism”.  Here is a great example of the issue i treat: Is there a difference between a Truth of a statement, and the argumentative concept of it? What is the difference? For What…

  • The Significant Event, Part 4b (Part 5): Hard Correlationalism: The Crux of the Problem of Speculative Realism and the Critique of Conventional Philosophy. (And no, I am not mistaking ‘continental’ philosophy; I mean Conventional philosophy.)

    We are still moving toward the meaning of the pocket veto and the significant event. Here, we consider Quentin Miessaloux and the ideas presented in his book “Beyond Finitude”. * Meillassoux’s argument arrives through the question: when modern science, or the mathematization of the world, had taken hold, what he identifies as the Copernican Revolution,…

  • The Significant Event: The Romance, Irony and the Veto.

    The Significant Event: The Romance, Irony and the Veto.

    Significance. What we can call the Romance is based upon and or around what I call the significant experience, which falls well in line with Alain Badiou’s ‘Event’, what could then be called the significant event. The irony that surrounds this feature of being human concerns a confusion of the individual, between what arises of…
