  • If you define all desire as sexual then of course art is sexual too, no? Aside from that, commissions are art too, and yet they are driven by economical factors. Similalry, sexual drives can influence economic decisions (alpha male scam is all about that for example). It might be so that those nitpicks are mostly results of me not fully getting your point (because to be fair I also don’t see what’s revolutionary about it), but either one of us has to get better at communicating (it might be me, idk)

    As a side note, you might enjoy Schopenhauer’s theory of aesthetics, there are some parallels here (I forgor what was the text tho)





  • Chief, who exactly are the “jewish extremists” that want to bring Armageddon? That words refers specifically to end of days in christian, not jewish beliefs. I am fairly certain you are in fact thinking about evangelical zionists, and if Im right you have to be much more careful about your language, because to anyone lacking context you sound too much like a nazi. If I am wrong, then damn, im not sure if you aren’t one. In what way exactly US is collapsing? It’s not at its greatest, but not every crisis ends up in a collapse. You also list a bunch of topics to research, most of which I have some basic concept of and a lot of which would need a lot of time to fully understand. You certainly can’t be referring to how psychology used to not be distinct from philosophy, or how schools like behaviorism or psychoanalysis came to be (unless it’s about Freud and maybe others being jewish? I doubt, but you are really imprecise) And the biggest elephant in the room, what holy war iluminati???



  • And yet all that resistance ends up translating to individualistic defiance, sabotaging one power just to reluctantly grant advantage to another, sometimes terrorism. I guess if we strayed far enough from the common tropes of the genre, then yes you are right. But remember what is the origin of the genre - to my understanding, in its core it exists as satirical critique of neoliberal policy. I dunno, it feels essential to me, but genres are constructed


  • Im no scholar of the genre I dont think marxism can fix cyberpunk, im gonna be honest. You strike - you get gunned down by robotized police force, and even if you weren’t it ain’t like there ain’t people hungry enough to take your job. Solidarity of the people is completely eroded by the fact that you have to fight with others just like you for basic resources. Individuality is all people have left, sometimes not even that. There is no law beyond money. Where do you even start trying?
