“A los ojos del mundo exterior, el loco ha cambiado, pero para el loco lo que ha cambiado es el mundo mismo”.

Una colega no juzga a otro loco. Estaba viendo el video de Alex Syntek y creo que dice algo que como "yo vivo en el mundo real y ustedes es un mundo bizarro". Y me recordó algo que escribe @kstrw en su libro sobre la fenomenología de la locura:

since you're avoiding french post structuralist, and cause cybernetics ultimately relates to feminism and madness, here are some contemporary writers i like
Leopoldina Fortunati, Italian badass marxist feminist
Philosophy of madness by Wouter Kusters @kstrw (to be mindful, the book aims to induce psychosis in the reader, for a true philosopher experiences reality rather than observes it from a distance)
Art and Cosmotechnics by Yuk Hui @digital_objects for a more Chinese meets Europe theory of technology, but i really appreciate the book post-europe

Thanks to @JasperFeyaerts & @kstrw for having me present at the Too Mad to be True conference at @Guislainmuseum. It was an enormous privilege to speak to an attentive audience about two of my greatest passions: madness & cinema. #TMTBT #toomadtobetrue

Headed to Belgium to attend the Too Mad to Be True conference in Ghent; and travel to Geel, home of the traditional resting place of St. Dymphna, patron saint of mental illness, and home to the world’s oldest community mental health nursing project (approx. 800 years old).

Uf, ya mismo pirateando. También les recomiendo mucho ese libro de Kusters, se propone hacer fenomenología de la locura (y la llama así por razones que él mismo explica). Sabe de lo que habla porque tuvo 2 brotes psicóticos separados por años.

La tesis de @kstrw
-Desde hace unos años estudio y releo Inferno de Strindberg como una obra grandiosa creada en momentos muy agudos de manía y psicosis.
-Kusters dice que en aquellos estados se alcanzan iluminaciones equivalentes a las de grandes filósofos.

He treats it as an event that reveals the fragility of the world-frame. The ground cracks, the meanings slide, the coordinates collapse. He is unusually honest about what happens next. You can come back, but the mind you return with is not the mind that left. amazon.com/Philosophy-Madnes…

@kstrw Wouter Kusters Philosophy of Madness is basically the only serious attempt of the last generation to treat psychotic rupture as an encounter with the limits of the human model rather than a pathology to be erased.

Western backed Zionists tortured Dr. Adnan al Bursh, Gaza's best surgeon, and then left him “naked from the waist down” in the prison yard to die.
The collective West has fully removed the mask.

Please read this. It's literally been 8 years in the writing.
The first wave of tech disruption of democracy 2016-2024 is over. What starts now is something much, much worse: the age of information chaos.

I call upon the Western media to confirm or deny that the Maccabi football supporters, well before any skirmishes, were marching on the streets on Amsterdam chanting: "There are no schools in Gaza, there are no children left there. F-ck the Arabs." [They did!]
אוהדי מכבי בנתב"ג, בשירת "תנו לצה"ל לנצח, לז**ן ת'ערבים...בעזה אין בתי ספר, לא נשארו שם ילדים".
ולטינופות האלה מצפים שאגלה אמפתיה? לא יקרה!
Maccabi fans in Tel Aviv Airport, chanting: "Let the IDF win, fck the Arabs... There are no schools in Gaza, there are no children left there."
And I'm expected to show empathy to these filthy scums?
Won't happen!

Looking back at this article written in 2017, I think it still captures what is happening today, though I hope to update it soon e-flux.com/journal/81/125815…

Had a great time talking about Merleau-Ponty and madness at "Too Mad to be True III" in Ghent and managed to stop by in the stunning gem that is Bruges.
Flanders does have a way of leaving one breathless.
