In this chapter we're presented with their conception of desiring-machines that opposes the totalizing framework of the Oedipal complex.

This is honestly so cool to find. I’ve got a lot out of this summary in my first listen. Can’t wait to come back to this and check out more of these videos. Keep it up, man!

Well, I've found my new favorite youtuber

Your format, depth, and articulation reminds me of Stephen West from Philosophize This. Keep it up! Thank you for the commentary and unpacking!

Your videos on these Theodosian walls of books have changed my life for the better

Just found a new channel to bing watch, I guess! Also the fact that sometimes you were on the verge of giving up understanding what in the world these fellas were trying to say makes the listening even more enjoyable, I have to say.

As opaque as a lot of this material is, there are certain points in it that I vibe with deeply. I really do suffer from having to sleep and therefore not being able to play Dark Souls 3 for the 88th time all night. I really do suffer from not being able to breathe underwater, or flap my arms and fly to the Moon. I really do suffer from the fact that the most pleasurable things I can put in my body will slowly poison me.

Though Zizek disagrees on the 'importance' of Anti-Oedipus, I still think it's the best argument for the cultivation of schizophrenia ever written. Every time I read it, I find some overlooked or neglected element/aspect to (re)consider. Do you care?

This so helpful!

This is great! Do you have a twitter or anything? Please keep the Anti-Oedipus podcast going :D

that's great at 30.00 - you're honest and clear. What about doing a shortish - Covid virus as desiring machine lecture?
