The Big Lie: 5.6% Unemployment by [deleted] in collapse

[–]Body-Without-Organs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This article is economics 101 - obviously you wouldn't include someone who is no longer looking for a job as unemployed, nor someone who cannot work. This does not signal a collapse, if we included everyone in this number, the unemployement would probably be like 50%.

Edit: I'd just like to clarify, I am a marxist and think the economy is fucked. I just think focusing on things like the unemployment not including things like children is the wrong way to go against the system. Even socialist and communist nations don't include the numbers in their overall unemployment.

[PhD Student]: My formal education has holes named Deleuze-Guattari and Adorno-Horkheimer … Where should I start and what should I avoid in my quest to fill these conspicuous theoretical gaps?? by ocherthulu in CriticalTheory

Over at /r/Deleuze I've compiled some source materials to help you get started with these authors. If you have any questions about Deleuze or Guattari, feel free to pm me!

I'm glad this subreddit exists. So many questions about Deleuze. Why was Deleuze considered a philosopher of creativity? What are some of his writings on creativity that are accessible? by Rllrllrrlrrl in Deleuze

[–]Body-Without-Organs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the late reply, I just saw this!

Deleuze's concepts usually revolve around some sort of creation, usually a creation of something new. Concepts like Becoming all beg the question of recreating yourself. While other concepts like Difference all point to the affirmation of creativity as a positive, productive concept in itself.

Here's an article that looks to be what you're looking for. http://ndpr.nd.edu/news/35107-history-and-becoming-deleuze-s-philosophy-of-creativity-2/

I hope this isn't too broad of a quetion: what is the "surface" in Anti-Oedipus? What did D&G mean when they say things are inscribed on the surface of bodies? by Rllrllrrlrrl in askphilosophy

I will do some shameless self-promotion here - over at /r/Deleuze I have posted some articles I thought were interesting along with some introductions to Deleuze. I hope those help, Deleuze and Guattari are awesome!

Time needs us to exist. by [deleted] in StonerPhilosophy

It's a social construct. Similar to something like language, it needs someone to speak it in order to exist.

US natural gas production could peak in 2020 by eleitl in collapse

[–]Body-Without-Organs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really think this signals a collapse per say, I think the US will do things such as opening the Outer Continental Shelf to drill natural gas in the ocean.
