Desiring Production in Anti-Oedipus. A different approach to the human psyche! S1E3

Deleuze and Guattari formulate a radically new theory of human consciousness and the unconscious that has hardly been tapped yet. Let's see if we can change that on YouTube.

I'll try to take it slow and first describe the three syntheses and their machines. For this I throw in quotations and sources from time to time. You can a) read them b) ignored them or c) wait till I make a separate video about them.

I hope you have fun with this video. Here again a link to the script. I have enabled the comment function, just try it out!

Thanks a lot and see you soon...

    For those wondering about the premiere so far in the future: I have to limit myself somehow. There is more to do in everyday life than to create Youtube videos, no matter how much fun they are. Therefore, there is a maximum of one video a week. Actually, a video every 2 or 4 weeks is planned. Just for your information. I hope you find the content as exciting as I do.

    I think this a good overview of the three syntheses and helps clarify my own thoughts on them, which I greatly appreciate since you are the only source online that diagrams this model out. One complaint I have though is that I’m pretty sure that organs and machines in the connective synthesis are the same thing. Thus, the machines are not connecting organs and flows but rather connecting their flow with a previous flow provided by a prior machine (i.e., the “and then, and then, and then…” series).

    Strange, my English translation refers to the "Bachelor Machine" as the " Celibate Machine". Out of curiosity, what version are you using? Also, one thing I'm still trying to understand is why they're named what they are? For instance, what makes the paranoiac machine paranoiac? Sorry for the questions. I'm a computer science student, and Deleuze and Guitarri is an interesting line a flight for me. I wonder how much I should go back and read Freud and classical psychoanalysis.

    Organs and flows are something distinct??I thought the organs produced flows themselves
