i have a few anecdotes i always think about from the male anorexia book i read… developing an eating disorder as a response to being gay will never not be funny to me
understanding anorexia nervosa in males, pg 100, tom wooldridge Similarly, researchers have suggested that some males with anorexia nervosa experience pre-morbid homosexual panic (Crisp, 1967; Dally & Gomez, 1979). As their sexuality begins to take shape, males may be frightened by attraction to other males, and the elimination of sexual desire achieved through severe weight loss may protect them from confronting this fact. However, this hypothesis is not applicable to all males with anorexia nervosa; indeed, in my clinical experience some young men attempt extreme weight loss in an attempt to become more sexually attractive to other males. The relationship between male anorexia

nietzsche, the gay science, preface Oh, those Greeks! They knew how to live. What is required for that is to stop courageously at the surface, the fold, the skin, to adore appearance, to believe in forms, tones, words, in the whole Olympus of appearance. Those Greeks were superficial-out of profundity. And is not this precisely what we are coming back to, we daredevils of the spirit who have climbed the highest and most dangerous peak of present thought and looked around from up there-we who have looked down from there? Are we not, precisely in this respect, Greeks? Adorers of forms, of tones, of words? And therefore-artists?

adorno, minima moralia 19 Do not knock. - Technification is making gestures in the meantime precise and rough - and thereby human beings. They drive all hesitation out of gestures, all consideration, all propriety [Gesittung]. They are subjected to the irreconcilable - ahistorical, as it were ー requirements of things. Thus one no longer learns to close a door softly, discreetly and yet firmly. Those of autos and frigidaires have to be slammed, others have the tendency to snap back by themselves and thus imposing on those who enter the incivility of not looking behind them, of not protecting the interior of the house which receives them. One cannot account for the newest human types without an understanding of the things in the environs which they continually encounter, all the way into their most secret innervations. What does it mean for the subject, that there are no window shutters anymore, which can be opened, but only frames to be brusquely shoved, no gentle latches but only handles to be turned, no front lawn, no barrier jainst the street, no wall around the garden? And which auto-driver has not felt the temptation, in the power of the motor, to run over the vermin of the street - passersby, children, bicyclists? In the movements which machines demand from their operators, lies already that which is violent, crashing, propulsively unceasing in Fascist mistreatment. Not the least fault for the dying out of experience . due to the fact that things assume a form under the law of their purposiveness which restrict their interaction to mere application, without the surplus - were it that of freedom of behavior, were it that of the autonomy of the thing - which might survive as the kernel of experience, because it is not consumed by the moment of action.

zeeb Today at 17:48 okay, thanks that changes things quite a bit. i just have to learn more about it to have a well informed take. critique of the gotha programme I want to check this now
willow Today at 17:55 here's an excerpt from capital lol Classical political economy has always liked to conceive social capital as a fixed magnitude of a fixed degree of efficiency. But this prejudice was first established as a dogma by the arch-philistine, Jeremy Bentham, that soberly pedantic and heavy-footed oracle of the 'common sense' of the nineteenth-century bourgeoisie. so entham is among philosophers what Martin Tupper* is among poets. Both could only have been manufactured in England.» 51. Bentham is a purely English pbenomenon. Not even excepting our own Christian Wolff,* in no time and in no country has the most homespun manufacturer of commonplaces ever strutted about in so self- satisfied a way. The principle of utility was no discovery made by Bentham, He simply reproduced in his dull way what Helvetius and other Frenchmen had said with wit and ingenuity in the eighteenth century. To know what is useful for a dog, one must investigate the nature of dogs. This nature is not • Christian Wolff (1679-1754) was a German philosopber and mathe-matician, a disciple of Leibniz. His philosophy was in fact a common-sense adaptation and watering down of Leibniz's ideas, and it beld the feld in Germany from the 1730s until Kant's time. • Martin Tupper (1810-89) was an English man of letters and poet. His ame in Victorian times rested on his Proverbial Philosophy (1838-67), a lons series of commonplace didactic moralizings in blank verse. The Transformation of Surplus-Value into Capital 759 This dogma in fact renders the commonest phenomena of the production process, for instance its sudden expansions and con-actions, and even accumulation itself, absolutely incompreher sible. zeeb Today at 17:55 thats hilarious, its scathing. they hate him.

willow context bot:
capital, volume 1, pg 280 - the transformation of money into capital The sphere of circulation or commodity exchange, within whose boundaries the sale and purchase of labour-power goes on, is in fact a very Eden of the innate rights of man. It is the exclusive realm of Freedom, Equality, Property and Bentham. Freedom, because both buyer and seller of a commodity, let us say of labour-power, are determined only by their own free will. They contract as free persons, who are equal before the law. Their contract is the final result in which their joint will finds a common legal expression. Equality, because each enters into relation with the other, as with a simple owner of commodities, and they exchange equivalent for equivalent. Property, because each disposes only of what is his own. And Bentham, because each looks only to his own advantage. The only force bringing them together, and putting them into relation with each other, is the selfishness, the gain and the private interest of each. Each pays heed to himself only, and no one worries about the others. And precisely for that reason, either in accordance with the pre-established harmony of things, or under the auspices of an omniscient providence, they all work together to their mutual advantage, for the common weal, and in the common interest.
