In a sea of AI-slop videos and the infinite content-mill of youtube, it's rare to find a real human being producing gold in the form of decently informative content. I got very, very lucky today. Thanks for sharing. 🙏🏼
I'm susceptible to say this is one those yt channels I get emotional about, and for that reason I visit it once in a while. Great work in every sense possible. Kind of throws me back to maybe the laziest definition one can find on Deleuze's notion of power, stated by himself, intendedly, in the Abecedaire: 'Power is the lowest form of potency". It looks as a reduction, but to me it sums it up in an incredible way. Cheers and thank you!!
Thank you so much for the kind words, that's very nice of you to say! I really appreciate it. I don't have this particular definition in mind tbh. I wonder if he means the *search* for power, meaning politicians, tyrants and all those who thrive by imposing affects of sadness on others? Because he says something like that in the seminar on Spinoza: trying to control others through force and coercion is not a show of force but a form of hate (in one's self, against one's own power to act). Seems there's a lot of truth to it!
@@deleuzephilosophy I think that's exactly it, we could consider power as a force in the sense of Spinoza, but in the lowest form possible because it impedes bodies from doing what they can (like in reactive forces). It seems contradictory perhaps, but I tend to read Deleuze trying to apply some sort of logical intuition to his texts. There's something beyond his strong logic that needs to be grasped and whenever I see people that rejects his philosophy entirely, the more I think his thought can be applied.
Deleuze's ghost sent me this at the best time. I am writing a paper on an algorithmic criminal justice sentencing program and am incorporating Postscripts into my analysis
Thanks a lot for this video, really interesting topic and analysis! I just have a question that I couldn't quite wrap my head around; how exactly does this conception of power not negate class-struggle in the marxist sense? Deleuze claims that they are compatible (quote at 6:34) but is the marxist theory of classes, and the struggle that emerges from them, not reliant on the exercise of power by one class upon the other? Or is there a distinction to do between power and authority?
I haven't formulated how it's relevant, but I love how the CC transcription toggles between writing 'Foucault' as either 'Fuku 'or 'Theo' and Deleuze becomes 'Dooz' . . .. micro-physics?!
Learning in the introduction about how power asserts itself by the institutional manipulation of knowledge then cutting straight to the Brilliant ad is so ironically jarring Lol if anything it’s an example of how postmodern philosophy is a self-relativization to its own problems-not necessarily a critique but an observation
Indeed, the type of causality implied here is the immanent cause (as oppose to the emanative and transcendent types of causes), meaning that the cause remains in itself in order to produce its effect
can i make a heretical comment that i feel that foucault's writing and interest in "power" is not really as interesting as his ideas about studying and writing history but hey what do i know
Well, then, I suggest, that you find out from where the confusion arises. I'm the kind of elective non-academic philosopher enthusiastic (fool), and I'm gona say, that go back to the ancient Athens in this case. It's like if you have a knot in understanding mathematical basic concepts, it's gona affect the whole thing!
@picardcook7569 OK. Look. What was the thing you thought was overcomplicated in this "nonsense"? Or are we gona print every error here we can imagine? When you accuse me of being crazy, but you didn't even bother to inform in first place anything other than stating your non-understanding, I then tried to ask, if there was something in the context of this which made it overcomplicated or what? I admit, that I am indeed sometimes not as clear as I have to be.

It's 6:28 here and it's just the perfect time to watch this new fresh video.
Thank you :)

I love your videos, man. It helps on my readings a lot. Thank youn
You're welcome, glad to hear it's useful!
Thankful for deleuze philosophy

This was extremely helpful. Thanks.
Glad to hear, thank you for watching!
Fantastic breakdown. I work in a corporate production plant and I can definitely see how this theory of power relates.
Thanks for the video! ❤
My pleasure, thanks a lot for watching, Kyle!
I really like the cat at 4:10
Thank you for ur genuine efford, ur works always give sparkling insides. i wonder would u consider of taking zizek and deleuze together?
zizek is baby poopoo brain just stick with the french ones
Thanks a lot! I don't know enough about Zizek tbh and I wouldn't know where to start, but any book/article recommendation would be welcome
Very nice!
This guy is always fire, I like before watching even. Big spender I know... Huge affectations!
🎉🕺🎠
Thanks a lot :) Really happy you like this content!
Wonderful!
Thank you 🙏
Power is a change in work which is a change in energy
😂
your channel is a deleuzian university. count me as a permanent settler/student✌
Thank you so much, welcome to Deleuze - U 😂

Well whatever power is it must refer to causal forces. Power is indistinguishable from something causing something else.
Indeed, the type of causality implied here is the immanent cause (as oppose to the emanative and transcendent types of causes), meaning that the cause remains in itself in order to produce its effect
can i make a heretical comment that i feel that foucault's writing and interest in "power" is not really as interesting as his ideas about studying and writing history but hey what do i know
If you're more interested in another aspect of his thought then absolutely go for it, there's nothing heretical in that ;)
4:08 Garota de Ipanema
and by form, he means what? surely not that stupid platonic ideal bs?
so nothing more than what Nietzsche already said
Deleuze and Foucault absolutely are disciples of Nietzsche, but they add a lot to his thought I think (and dropped the moustache)
@@deleuzephilosophy it was all about the moustache i guess 🤣
@@Sherlockarim Was it Dali who came up with the idea of "radar moustache"? He may have been on to something 😂
@deleuzephilosophy exactly, i was about to mention him, he called it "anti Nietzscheien" or something 🤣
@@deleuzephilosophylove the response as it is what it is!
Can i mail you a tuna melt sandwich as thanks
🤦♂️ overcomplicated nonsense

@Artholic100 Nice schizo post 👍
Get back to me when you feel like being coherent
@picardcook7569 nice Ad-hominem. Come back to me once you get past it.
@Artholic100 Nice non-sequitur, get back to me when you learn what an ad hominem is
