Thank you for such high quality content, as usual. This is an older way of thinking, but it was that the mental state was considered more along a linear continuum with schizophrenia at one end - where the mental boundaries of the neurotypical would be transgressed fluidly - and neuroticism - with its paralyzing, rigid conformity - at the other. In that sense, the schizophrenic mindset does represent polar opposition to rigid conformity (conservation of the status quo). I have some concern. To begin, D&G did not have access to more recent studies that correlate hallucinations with trauma to the brain stem (neuroticism - as a disturbance in more abstract thinking - would tend more towards trauma to the cortical region). Reconsidered in this context, I'm not sure I'm so ready to accept that mimicking the thought patterns of someone with trauma to the most fundamental part of their thinking machine is such a brilliant idea. Would I attempt to "outpace" the state (or her agents) in a physical sense by mimicking the gait of someone with a sprained ankle? That isn't to say that neuroticism or even neurotypical thinking is "the answer." To the contrary, the systems of exploitation want us to avoid any of the creative thinking of the schizophrenic as well as the overthinking of the neurotic, focused instead on the thoughts they spoon feed us. I think I would prefer to draw inspiration from ALL the different ways my brain can think. If I may add another concern, it's that "intentional schizophrenic thinking" sounds like the sort of thing that could very easily think of itself as transgressing boundaries, when it may end up doing it in a manner which still confines it to the predictable. Look at this guy, drinking out of cups! No way! Yes, a sudden interruption in the flow of my writing, but is it schizophrenic if my mind immediately goes to what I've been conditioned through media to think of as schizophrenic? In conclusion, I'm sure John MacAfee would agree, how many people do we need raising money for cancer when literally everyone I've ever known has been touched by it, and here's a rocket ship shooting a laser: 8======D~~~~

I literally just finished Anti-Oedipus yesterday morning and started A Thousand Plateaus today. I've never dealt with a more difficult set of books and it definitely doesn't help if you're not acquainted with psychoanalysis, the history of continental philosophic thought, or some major European literature. My psyche feels incredibly schizo after all of this lol
How did you do it? Any tips on how to understand it? I'm familiar with analytic philosophy and had a science education, but D&G are a total different animal. I find it very hard to jump into it.
@@sk8shred So, I needed a deadline so I made myself plan on finishing it in a month. From there I tried to do 20 pages a day, and I used a black pen and yellow highlighter - I HIGHLY recommend this because you want to notate the book so you won’t have to read it from start to finish again without some kind of system. Next, I’d say read it straight through, and don’t get too hung up on a paragraph or a page, they will usually clarify it later to a certain degree. Also, google the words you don’t know and depending on what the term is, there will be useful resources online to figure it out. Along with that, there are going to be times when they name bomb a lot, I don’t recommend looking up ever individual, rather, see what they’re saying about that individual. I also recommend Daniel W. Smiths lectures (apple podcasts under an “Interregnum” cast that use to exist) bc he’s really really helpful on it. You can also find another one on there where a reading group has gone through chapter by chapter and that helped out some too bc a lot of the beginning stuff is the hardest. Beyond that, I can just say go with god and just try to crank through it
for what its worth I know guys with PhD qualificatons in friggin Heidegger, himself a pretty mystifying writer, and can Derria in their sleep, who crash on the rocks of D&G unable to figure out wtf these mad frenchmen are on about. This stuff is hard and its no moral fault to be bamboozled by it. I sure am! But its also ok to just take away what you feel you need out of it and ignore the rest. D&G explicitely state as much as that.
The thing withe Anti-Oedipus (the first philosophy book I've read in it's entirety) is that it operates schizoanalysis throught itself. I too found myself quite schizo after reading it. It absolutely changes ones conscience since it operates the decoding and recoding operation described in the book. The main things one needs to look for in the process of understanding the book is psychoanalysis, linguistics (specially semiology) and a bit of logic and history/anthropology. The thing is to read intuitively, taking notes whenever you catches some ideas flying around, and then revisiting the book after it cools down on you.
I'm autistic and I had a schizophrenic close friend, and we talked about how autistic people get more attention than schizophrenic people because psychosis is harder to exploit than autism. But I think autism gives me some distance from common territorialisations, but in some ways makes me more likely to create territories of my own. Idiosyncratic territories instead of psychotic deterritorialisatiom. I also have psychotic tendencies ("psychotic features"), so i can relate to the fluidity, and to be honest, it helps balance out my autistic tendencies. There's a way to engage in deterritorialisation and to build "register" fluidity, through art and aesthetics, and you can bridge the gap to ethics through transpersonal non-oedipal intimacy and focusing on implicit, multi- perspectival participation. You don't necessarily have to become a nomad, but you need to have a fluid sense of self ("dividuated" as opposed to individuated). Becoming minor can be a political and mental deterritorialisation, and a more trans-subjective social deterritorialisation can be found in D-G and Ettinger (yes, Ettinger again!). It's not enough to dividuate and minoritize your politics. You have to practice self-fragilisation on an intimate level, to learn how to connect with other dividuated "partial subjects". The link between deterritorialised politics and deterritorialised subjectivity can be seen as the "proto"-ethics of dividuated people connecting in a dividuated way to the dividuated parts of other people. This can be found in schizoanalysis, phenomenology and things like "4e" (embodied, embedded, extended, enacted) cognitive psychology. That can connect to more explicity ethical things like virtue and care. Ettinger's entire project can be described as the proto-ethics of "going schizo without going insane". She talks about resonances and registers that are "non-oedipal" that can't be reduced to psychopathology and may arguably be registers that we learned very early on and persist and can never trulyy go away, only be coped and trained in different ways. The point is to do so skillfully and avoid pitfalls like oedipal splitting as well as completely unbridled delirium of phantasy that you can't control.

This perfectly describes my 4 month drug induced psychosis in 2020. I saw myself as connected to history and so too was everyone else. There really was no separation between past or present nor between self and other. I saw how someone's language they used when speaking to me the veiled lies and dishonesties people would tell me and themselves (usually excuses couched in moral language or disguised as ethical obligations). I was completely lucid and to this day I don't think that how I was viewing things was wrong in any real sense... Just difficult and unsustainable in the circumstances I found myself in. After I cleaned up I stopped being able to view things that way and I became really depressed and actually missed that state... Years later I am starting to get back to that state but in a much more balanced and manageable way... Less intense, but still intense
I’ve gone through something similar. It came to a head when I accidentally hit that sort of psychosis, only without drugs this time, after what I can call a long thought experiment. I’ve found a balance though. It’s like, those sorts of intensities are always there but I don’t have to tune into them, or rather, I’m just tuned into something else that pushes everything else to the periphery.

@@Hephaestikon Yup.. The irony is that Fascists are aware that aesthetics are arguably just as important if not more important than the messages themselves. Some of the brightest thinkers recognize this like Adorno, Horkheimer, or Marshal McLuhan.

Ironic that Nick Land began taking on Deluze from an anti-capitalist perspective then mastered schizo-analysis and used it to unironically become reactionary 😂
I can only warmly recommend to play Disco Elysium; - a video game that puts actual Schizoanalysis into motion, and portrays most important concepts from the books in a highly digestible form.
This game and a selection of books has caused me to view reality in a completely different way and influenced my life quite a bit. I finally understand the Logos, the Dialectic, Kenosis...

You've gained a follower! That microdose hit harder than expected when the podcast I was listening to mentioned 'GameStop' 'Autism' and 'Couldn't buy it fast enough' all within 10 seconds. Mind you, it was recorded in July 2019. Then I learned of the existence of the work of Deleuze and Guattari.
Thanks for dedicating the time to this, Lacan's thought left me wanting for more and this has helped me understand what I couldn't put words to. Thank you so much for creating digestible content for those wishing to better understand these works!
If we are talking Native Tongues as example of deterritorialization, I think the NY graffiti scene is a better example. as the forgotten pillar of hip hop, it’s an artistic act which is inherently illegal, it is - by definition - outside the capitalist wall
Dude, your channel is amazing. You're very good at making complicated theory accessible without dumbing it down into cliché and plattitude. I am glad I stumbled across your channel, it inspires me in my own thinking. All the best and keep up the amazing work.
Thank you! Just in time, too -- I have anti-oedipus here on my table, and have opened it up a few times with my eyes kind of glazing over / rereading each paragraph like nine times. Anyway, great to have an orientation on it, maybe this will help me "follow" it a bit better. And great high-quality, thoughtful video as always!
At a certain point I just started plunging into the confusing interpretations I was creating rather than trying to ask “but what does it really mean.” Not sure if that was the point, but it helped me
For real I'm an artist and have been manifesting this place of connection theory in my work over this year and this is such a fucking light bulb moment, thank you!!
Thank you, fantastic content. Your videos are dispersing 20th century philosophy, a lot of which still hasn't made it into the zeitgeist. I know you know how valuable that can be. If I was still teaching I'd totally make a philosophy seminar with your videos as some of the resources. I hope we can somehow get the creative ideas of 20th century philosophy in front of young people while they're still learning and before they enter permanent ideological camps, or lose the interest/energy/time to learn new perspectives, let alone fundamentally new ways of thinking. Thanks again and best wishes.
I´m surprised by the quality, the content and the beauty of your videos; more considering how hard is to approach certain subjects. Definitively your channel is my discovery of the year. Keep going (as long as you want, of course)!
“Tell the based god don’t quit his day job” - tbh I don’t listen to based god, but think capital steez would be an interesting rapper to schizo-analyse.
I wish I was an animal and not self aware. It would be easier. I don't like to spend money, don't own a smartphone, I'm unsocial so I'm invisible. I am free from capitalism while living within it.
Sad thing is, capitalism leaves no part of the world unconquered. Even animals are a part of its mechanical production process, more often than not, being funneled into a slaughterhouse. Such is the fate of those who live under capitalism but have no power.
This was a great video on "Anti-Oedipus"...a book I'm currently reading. The video really broke down some of the more complex concepts in a very insightful way. Well done and much appreciated.
This video left a big smile on my face. I am writing (well writing) a PhD on organizational change. My drafts so far have pushed the boundaries of academic rigour. Your video inspired me to go much much further with this....It's an awesome feeling to work from within against as if you are working from without... Keep em coming PlasticPills...
This is amazing! Much kudos and many thanks! Your audio-visual presentation is superb. All it needs is dividing the video into chapters (segments) and making the menu in the down-right corner interactive (clickable). For example, "Delirium & Schizophrenia" - one clicks on the title, the tiny light, the sound and the content appears. That way the viewer can go back and forth, spend more time on some sections ("chapters") and go completely schizo. Thank you so much, I have just found PlasticPills. So good.
Thank you for giving a good introduction to this book! The title "Anti-Oedipus" has always interested me but i've been scared of it because of the difficulty of Deleuze's languague
Thanks so much for this video! Been working my way up to this book by jumping around Deleuze's bigger influences in hopes of getting a foothold on the text. This made approaching the book feel less intimidating.
one of the best videos on D&G's Anti oedipus on youtube. Great summary and annotations about this great work. Hope you make a continuation on 1,000 plateaus. And I would really like to have more on Guattari work such as molecular revolution :)
Being versed in Lacanian psychoanalysis helps one read Anti-Oedipus more than most readers of D&G would think. Ultimately, Lacan ends on very similar grounds to what D&G put forth in this book, and that is through the clinic of the Sinthome. The whole Lacan/D&G theoretical split in academia is academic politics par excellence, aimed at generating more knowledge as surplus enjoyment. There are many scholars who have begun to disjunctively synthesise those two fields of thought (see Chiesa, or Nedoh for example).
I was in real need for a theory like this. Since I about 9 months ago started getting into continental philosophy (started with Bataille and Barthes, atm more trying to get a grasp on Baudrillard and Lacan) I've frequently been having experiences of non-linear/schizophrenic thinking. I've frequently been coming up with and connecting ideas and signs purely by associative, sometimes almost random thought, and even sometimes perceiving everyday reality in this sort of deterritorrialized fashion. I hadn't been able to grasp why this was happening (was even seriously considering if I was starting to go insane), but seeing this I can actually attempt to start making sense of my mind again, perhaps starting with reading Anti-Oedipus and A Thousand Plateaus . Thanks for your videos PP, you the best!
Wow, this is incredible!!! Thanks for making this video. Linearity can really help with making things accessible, so don't beat yourself up about walking before you run.
Your a great teacher! I’ve been into psychology and philosophy for way over fifty years. I probably had six teachers that really have the ability to we weave layer into layer pulling me forward. Wish you were around then!
Thanks so much for this, maybe your best video yet! I just started reading Foucault's 'The Order of Things' and this really helped me understand what he's getting at when he calls us to subvert these orders and cross boundaries - perfect timing!
I started this video essentially I was looking for my soundclip.. so that I could, using all thw hubris I could muster, drop D&G into my daily diatribes and ineffectual rants towards people either uninterested, already of a similar mind, or -and this is the worst one- who are essentially unequipped to deflect me if I chose to target them for identity political incorrectness...etc... I must say I haven't had such a truly engaged and informative download on a topic I was previously unfamiliar with since... well, I've never had such a great experience ingesting new -and desperately needed- information period. Thank you
This is awesome. Read vol 1 a while ago; Felt like the toughest thing I’d ever read. Read Vol 2 more recently, and made lots more sense. This motivated me to go back and read vol 1 again. Among other things. Great breakdown.
one of the best videos i watched in my entire life (also, i am trying to read anti-oedipus right now for a paper in university and i was about to give up because of the hard language but man, you made me give up on the giving up)
Once again, thank you. D&G are not the easiest and (I think) you managed to stay true to the core idea. Also, I don't know if a translation in english exists but "Deleuze's alphabet book" is a very good starting point to understand his way of thinking things!
Nice video man. Gotta highlight the fact of how extremely politized “race” is in globalized culture. Almost like the color of your skin breeds debate, breeds discussion on your own existence for certain people, and those same people see the color of your skin, your accent, your ethnicity, your religion, and your nationality on top of what you actually chose to do or speak. Or in other words, it becomes “who said that? Was he black? White? Gay? Russian? American? Was he a she?” Instead of “what did this person say?”
I was in art school (illustration) several years ago and the ideas driving 'art' in general seemed, and still seem, very geared towards deterritorialization; crossing uncrossed boundaries, sticking labels of the one territory on the other. I spoke to someone in the field of Social Design who described this cross-applying of methods and ideas - which seems quite productive. But having been in the art field for a bit, the continued fetishization of a 'new' or 'undiscovered' connection gets strangely stale. I'm not sure if I'm applying the idea correctly, but somehow it seems like going radically artisanal and non-conceptual, to do something (viewed in the art world sometimes as obsolete) such as landscape painting, is a form of deterritorialisation. Or is this just simply being reactive and going against the trend? Anyways, some thoughts I wanted to share, this was a great vid on Deleuze, glad to have finally met him and his buddy G. Top job PlasticPills!
This was absolutely great! Thank you for making this. One of the best online resources to understand this difficult treatise. Pls keep doing this. You guys are awesome 👏🏼
This actually is strangely applicable to me professionally. Im a classicist, and my current thesis is a cross-disciplinary look at Roman slavery, an attempt to bring psychology and social science into an ancient setting, and apply it to an oppressed group of people. I like the idea of this being a form of 'schizo-scholarship,' breaking out of the assumed bounds of any one discipline, and looking elsewhere for insights into you subject. I might be reaching a bit for this, but in any case, this was a very interesting and well done video! New subscription for sure.
Thank you for such high quality content, as usual.

As an old school hip hop head I applaud you using the native tongue as an example of this book..🎉🎉 you have a new subscriber.
This is not just a theory video on RUclips. This is ART of the finest quality
Ah, now you are beginning to "get it".
Aesthetics is the answer.
Omg. Caring about the aesthetics of politics OVER actions! This is the reason fascists are in charge and leftists are allergic to victory.
@@michaelsurname609 Aesthetics can drive people to action and beyond, it's a shame only fascists have realized this.
@@Hephaestikon Yup.. The irony is that Fascists are aware that aesthetics are arguably just as important if not more important than the messages themselves. Some of the brightest thinkers recognize this like Adorno, Horkheimer, or Marshal McLuhan.
@jay I've noticed that with most of the outfits he wears on this channel. He's definitely trying to do something with our perception of him
the past few months your videos and podcasts have answered/explained so many concepts & questions in my research-- seriously, the timing is crazy. thank u v much for the well-paced, accessible content and the earphone-ripping wilhelm scream.
This gets my hype up, when screaming into void
Ironic that Nick Land began taking on Deluze from an anti-capitalist perspective then mastered schizo-analysis and used it to unironically become reactionary 😂
A 4 year methamphetamine bender will do that to you.
@@codycurtin2295 he accelerated spatiotemporal phenomenonology via neo-shamanic transcendence
It's a weird version of reactionary. He took the logical path to the exit from humanity.
In the sequel the pair specifically warn against deterritorializing too quickly. Land missed the warnings.
Nick land was always kinda an edge lord
This is one of the best explanations of C&S I've seen and I've taken grad level courses on this.
I can only warmly recommend to play Disco Elysium; - a video game that puts actual Schizoanalysis into motion, and portrays most important concepts from the books in a highly digestible form.
Video games might be by far the easiest way to transmit this kind of experience comprehensibly
man that games so good
there’s a japanese game from 1999 called “garage” which is probably more thousand plateau-ey but also a schizoanalytic game
This game and a selection of books has caused me to view reality in a completely different way and influenced my life quite a bit. I finally understand the Logos, the Dialectic, Kenosis...
BING BING WAHOO

- Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, A Thousand Plateaus, pg. 24-25
This reads like Allen Ginsberg’s poetry I love it lol
I love how surreal it feels that after really reading into deleuze this makes perfect sense to me now.
You've gained a follower!
That microdose hit harder than expected when the podcast I was listening to mentioned 'GameStop' 'Autism' and 'Couldn't buy it fast enough' all within 10 seconds. Mind you, it was recorded in July 2019.
Then I learned of the existence of the work of Deleuze and Guattari.
Thanks for dedicating the time to this, Lacan's thought left me wanting for more and this has helped me understand what I couldn't put words to. Thank you so much for creating digestible content for those wishing to better understand these works!
If we are talking Native Tongues as example of deterritorialization, I think the NY graffiti scene is a better example. as the forgotten pillar of hip hop, it’s an artistic act which is inherently illegal, it is - by definition - outside the capitalist wall
Dude, your channel is amazing. You're very good at making complicated theory accessible without dumbing it down into cliché and plattitude. I am glad I stumbled across your channel, it inspires me in my own thinking. All the best and keep up the amazing work.
Always feel good when your new content comes out .
Thank you! Just in time, too -- I have anti-oedipus here on my table, and have opened it up a few times with my eyes kind of glazing over / rereading each paragraph like nine times. Anyway, great to have an orientation on it, maybe this will help me "follow" it a bit better. And great high-quality, thoughtful video as always!
At a certain point I just started plunging into the confusing interpretations I was creating rather than trying to ask “but what does it really mean.” Not sure if that was the point, but it helped me
For real I'm an artist and have been manifesting this place of connection theory in my work over this year and this is such a fucking light bulb moment, thank you!!
Thank you, fantastic content.
Your videos are dispersing 20th century philosophy, a lot of which still hasn't made it into the zeitgeist. I know you know how valuable that can be.
If I was still teaching I'd totally make a philosophy seminar with your videos as some of the resources. I hope we can somehow get the creative ideas of 20th century philosophy in front of young people while they're still learning and before they enter permanent ideological camps, or lose the interest/energy/time to learn new perspectives, let alone fundamentally new ways of thinking.
Thanks again and best wishes.
This machine is ready for a philosophical update. Love your videos Plastic Pills ✌
Bro this channel is criminally underrated
I haven’t engaged with it a lot but Deleuze seems to really go over my head. Thanks for giving me some substance to wrap my head around.
I´m surprised by the quality, the content and the beauty of your videos; more considering how hard is to approach certain subjects. Definitively your channel is my discovery of the year. Keep going (as long as you want, of course)!
I'm diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder and started pondering upon my diagnosis further than the DSM-V explains and this is very interesting.
If you really want your mind blown, check out Madness and Modernism by Louis Sass.
I feel like Lil B the based god is a more recent example of deterritorialization
Thank u based god
“Tell the based god don’t quit his day job” - tbh I don’t listen to based god, but think capital steez would be an interesting rapper to schizo-analyse.
Cck philosophy video idea
I really like the example of diagrammatic thinking you use to lay out the stratification of the subject.
Just found my new favorite channel. Better than all bread tube combined.
I wish I was an animal and not self aware. It would be easier. I don't like to spend money, don't own a smartphone, I'm unsocial so I'm invisible. I am free from capitalism while living within it.
Nice…
wow how unique and brave
@@heckicusdoomicuswizardus1382 Thank you, I feel blessed
@@collapsiblechair9112 i was being sarcastic you twat put some effort into your social skills and you might not need to act like such a bellend, yeah?
Sad thing is, capitalism leaves no part of the world unconquered. Even animals are a part of its mechanical production process, more often than not, being funneled into a slaughterhouse.
Such is the fate of those who live under capitalism but have no power.
This was a great video on "Anti-Oedipus"...a book I'm currently reading. The video really broke down some of the more complex concepts in a very insightful way. Well done and much appreciated.
This video left a big smile on my face. I am writing (well writing) a PhD on organizational change. My drafts so far have pushed the boundaries of academic rigour. Your video inspired me to go much much further with this....It's an awesome feeling to work from within against as if you are working from without... Keep em coming PlasticPills...
how’d your PhD go?
Hoe is het afgelopen? :)
This channel is the real deal!
Amazing work! I’m hugely impressed and pleased to find it
So much pleasure through conceptual forms and plastic substances. Can't thank you enough !
This is amazing! Much kudos and many thanks! Your audio-visual presentation is superb. All it needs is dividing the video into chapters (segments) and making the menu in the down-right corner interactive (clickable). For example, "Delirium & Schizophrenia" - one clicks on the title, the tiny light, the sound and the content appears. That way the viewer can go back and forth, spend more time on some sections ("chapters") and go completely schizo. Thank you so much, I have just found PlasticPills. So good.
Thank you for giving a good introduction to this book! The title "Anti-Oedipus" has always interested me but i've been scared of it because of the difficulty of Deleuze's languague
This is a great overview that most Deleuzean scholars couldn't pull off. This will make the AO that much more rewarding for many.
You said Dolce & Gabbana... got confused for half a second.
xD me too, thought that was a rap reference or something
same, and I've heard that joke before, I just wasn't expecting it at that exact second
He was so deadpan when he made the joke that it was all the more funny.
This is quickly becoming one of my fav channels. Beard looks epic!
i have a presentation on this tomorrow and I'm so glad I stumbled upon this video
Thanks so much for this video! Been working my way up to this book by jumping around Deleuze's bigger influences in hopes of getting a foothold on the text. This made approaching the book feel less intimidating.
only 13 minutes in and i absolutely love both the content and the visuals!!
Good on you man. These videos are awesome.
holy this was worth the length!
wish my ex said that
one of the best videos on D&G's Anti oedipus on youtube. Great summary and annotations about this great work. Hope you make a continuation on 1,000 plateaus. And I would really like to have more on Guattari work such as molecular revolution :)
To be a body without lungs, in a world without trees 🌠
So like French?
Being versed in Lacanian psychoanalysis helps one read Anti-Oedipus more than most readers of D&G would think. Ultimately, Lacan ends on very similar grounds to what D&G put forth in this book, and that is through the clinic of the Sinthome. The whole Lacan/D&G theoretical split in academia is academic politics par excellence, aimed at generating more knowledge as surplus enjoyment. There are many scholars who have begun to disjunctively synthesise those two fields of thought (see Chiesa, or Nedoh for example).
his video is life-changing. thank you.
I honestly never thought in my life I would understand these guys. Absolutely floored by the amazing work! This channel is a serious game changer.
This is the best video Ive seen in so long!! Keep it up man your channel gives me life
The only channel where I click Like before I watch
This is great man. Super juicy content. Turned on the notification bell
I was in real need for a theory like this.
Since I about 9 months ago started getting into continental philosophy (started with Bataille and Barthes, atm more trying to get a grasp on Baudrillard and Lacan) I've frequently been having experiences of non-linear/schizophrenic thinking.
I've frequently been coming up with and connecting ideas and signs purely by associative, sometimes almost random thought, and even sometimes perceiving everyday reality in this sort of deterritorrialized fashion.
I hadn't been able to grasp why this was happening (was even seriously considering if I was starting to go insane), but seeing this I can actually attempt to start making sense of my mind again, perhaps starting with reading Anti-Oedipus and A Thousand Plateaus .
Thanks for your videos PP, you the best!
Incredible video, never thought Id find an explanation so well written. Thanks for uploading.
I love your artistic editing style
You are absolutely fantastic PlasticPills.
Wow, this is incredible!!! Thanks for making this video. Linearity can really help with making things accessible, so don't beat yourself up about walking before you run.
Deleuze and Guattari were geniuses. What they wrote in the '70 is taking shape today. Thank you
Your a great teacher! I’ve been into psychology and philosophy for way over fifty years. I probably had six teachers that really have the ability to we weave layer into layer pulling me forward. Wish you were around then!
Thanks so much for this, maybe your best video yet! I just started reading Foucault's 'The Order of Things' and this really helped me understand what he's getting at when he calls us to subvert these orders and cross boundaries - perfect timing!
I started this video essentially I was looking for my soundclip.. so that I could, using all thw hubris I could muster, drop D&G into my daily diatribes and ineffectual rants towards people either uninterested, already of a similar mind, or -and this is the worst one- who are essentially unequipped to deflect me if I chose to target them for identity political incorrectness...etc...
I must say I haven't had such a truly engaged and informative download on a topic I was previously unfamiliar with since... well, I've never had such a great experience ingesting new -and desperately needed- information period. Thank you
This is awesome. Read vol 1 a while ago; Felt like the toughest thing I’d ever read. Read Vol 2 more recently, and made lots more sense. This motivated me to go back and read vol 1 again. Among other things. Great breakdown.
"a miraculous stomach" that's a good name for an indie album
For an avant garde restaurant…
This video is so good, deserves at least 1 million views
Great video, man!! Keep doing them
This is, by far, one of my favorite breakdowns of D&G
let’s go i’ve been dying for a well made deleuze video!!
Recently finished ATP and this was a great refresher. Thanks!
First video I've seen of you and it's really fucking impressive. I'm psyched to read this book again.
Brother you're my favorite Channel
one of the best videos i watched in my entire life (also, i am trying to read anti-oedipus right now for a paper in university and i was about to give up because of the hard language but man, you made me give up on the giving up)
this is ART!! ive been struggling with these concepts for so long holy shit you made it so easy 😭
i've watched so many videos trying to wrap my head around d&g and i can say this by far the best explanation I've seen so far.
Fab presentation. Very informative and will help in my re-reading of these texts
Just started reading this book, and holy shit it’s harder than anything else I’ve ever read. Haven’t watched the vid yet, but very excited to.
Once again, thank you. D&G are not the easiest and (I think) you managed to stay true to the core idea. Also, I don't know if a translation in english exists but "Deleuze's alphabet book" is a very good starting point to understand his way of thinking things!
I'm interviewing the translator of Labecedaire tomorrow
Excellent work! I'm reading Deleuze and Guattari these days and feel like I understand it better now!
love you plastic pill. thanks man
Nice video man. Gotta highlight the fact of how extremely politized “race” is in globalized culture. Almost like the color of your skin breeds debate, breeds discussion on your own existence for certain people, and those same people see the color of your skin, your accent, your ethnicity, your religion, and your nationality on top of what you actually chose to do or speak. Or in other words, it becomes “who said that? Was he black? White? Gay? Russian? American? Was he a she?” Instead of “what did this person say?”
gorgeous video. thank you man.
I was in art school (illustration) several years ago and the ideas driving 'art' in general seemed, and still seem, very geared towards deterritorialization; crossing uncrossed boundaries, sticking labels of the one territory on the other. I spoke to someone in the field of Social Design who described this cross-applying of methods and ideas - which seems quite productive. But having been in the art field for a bit, the continued fetishization of a 'new' or 'undiscovered' connection gets strangely stale. I'm not sure if I'm applying the idea correctly, but somehow it seems like going radically artisanal and non-conceptual, to do something (viewed in the art world sometimes as obsolete) such as landscape painting, is a form of deterritorialisation. Or is this just simply being reactive and going against the trend? Anyways, some thoughts I wanted to share, this was a great vid on Deleuze, glad to have finally met him and his buddy G. Top job PlasticPills!
This is fucking incredible work, this video was rewarding af to watch and I learned a ton. Cannot thank you enough!
This was absolutely great! Thank you for making this. One of the best online resources to understand this difficult treatise. Pls keep doing this. You guys are awesome 👏🏼
This is amazing! Immediately bought the book after watching your video
'we should be more schizo' ..heard it also from good old Terrence McKenna
Excellent work again. Always enjoy your content. Keep it up!
Just wanted to say, my favorite channel in all youtube, thanks a lot for the effort
2022 I am here, watching this again
Thanks for this, bro! I'll grab my copy this saturday!!!
AN incredibly inspiring take on our existence. Gave me a lot to chew on.
I love this video. So much work behind. Thank you so much, pana.
This actually is strangely applicable to me professionally. Im a classicist, and my current thesis is a cross-disciplinary look at Roman slavery, an attempt to bring psychology and social science into an ancient setting, and apply it to an oppressed group of people. I like the idea of this being a form of 'schizo-scholarship,' breaking out of the assumed bounds of any one discipline, and looking elsewhere for insights into you subject.
I might be reaching a bit for this, but in any case, this was a very interesting and well done video! New subscription for sure.
You didn’t write The Sorrows of the Ancient Romans, by any chance… did you??
@@shenanigans3710 I did not, but it sounds like it needs to be on my reading list
This is going to be exciting!!!
