so fucking jealous that you got to see song/mullen skate, their almost videos were by far my fave skate vids as a pup
Yeah dude, probably a majority of the content of those videos was filmed down the street from my first house. I was a little too young to do anything cool, but I’ve skated those steps...

“So, then, science and technology remove the distinction upon which morals are based?” Latour asks. And Serres responds by noting that now we no longer have to ask “the Cartesian question: How can we dominate the world?” We are forced to answer a different question: “How can we dominate our dominion; how can we master our own mastery?”

‘Kant, for example, is the perfect incarnation of false critique: that’s why he fascinates me. But when you’re facing such a work of genius, there’s no point saying you disagree. First you have to know how to admire; you have to rediscover the problems he poses, his particular machinery. It is through admiration that you will come to know genuine critique. The mania of people...

I finally got a real couch in my apartment yesterday to replace the pair of bachelor-pad lazyboys that have served to create quite a number of awkward romantic situations over the past year, and I am now happy to offer to anyone interested in properly making out in my living room a wholehearted welcome.

autochthones:
I still really don’t understand Heidegger’s treatment of anxiety and how that’s supposed to actually be contiguous with anxiety as experienced
There are plenty of contiguities in his work that I have trouble seeing, but his descriptions of anxiety have always had an immediate resonance for me. Are there any particular themes in his treatment of it you find problematic?

“That which we now call the world is the result of a number of errors and fantasies, which came about gradually in the overall development of organic beings, fusing with one another, and now handed down to us as a collected treasure of our entire past—a treasure: for the value of our humanity rests upon it. From this world of idea strict science can, in fact, release us only to a...
