The consolations of philosophy

In my latest blog post I talk about three books that help me to understand, resist and find hope: The Unaccountability Machine, Stories Are Weapons, and The Dispossessed.

When computers exchange data over the internet, it is in the form of TCP/IP packets. Each is a stream of 1s & 0s with a header. The header contains info like source, destination, sequence number, and control flags. Thereby different hardware and OSs may communicate. This means that from a computer's perspective, external reality is inherently quantized. What appears to be the structure of the outside world is merely a communication protocol of a greater world.

Be Your Own Light.

I figured we needed this again, this week.

Our reality is inside us and our body outside of us.

Some mid week #philosophy to help my outlook.

The mic drop moment in Althusser's "Ideology and Ideological State Apparatuses" (1970) #philosophy
As St Paul admirably put it, it is in the ‘Logos’, meaning in ideology, that we ‘live, move and have our being’. It follows that, for you and for me, the category of the subject is a primary ‘obviousness’ (obviousnesses are always primary): it is clear that you and I are subjects (free, ethical, etc....). Like all obviousnesses, including those that make a word ‘name a thing’ or ‘have a meaning’ (therefore including the obviousness of the ‘transparency’ of language), the ‘obviousness’ that you and I are subjects – and that that does not cause any problems – is an ideological effect, the elementary ideological effect.[16] It is indeed a peculiarity of ideology that it imposes (without appearing to do so, since these are ‘obviousnesses’) obviousnesses as obviousnesses, which we cannot fail to recognize and before which we have the inevitable and natural reaction of crying out (aloud or in the ‘still, small voice of conscience’): ‘That’s obvious! That’s right! That’s true!’


Nobility is shaped by education and manners, but not engendered by either.

It is instead the child of sovereignty.

In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm.
