Zephyr_Nova Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 It only just dawned on me that jajajaja is pronounced the same as hahahaha to anyone from Mexico, hence the alternate spelling (chatting with someone who moved from there to here. Sometimes she switches from j to h over the course of a single laugh, flaunting her mastery of two languages). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drillkicker Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Quote Since the neuroticization of schizophrenia is the molecular reproduction of capital, by means of a reaxiomatization (reterritorialization) of decoding as accumulation, the historical sense of psychoanalytic practice is evident. Schizophrenia is the pattern to Freud’s repressions, it is that which does not qualify to pass the screen of Oedipal censorship. With those who bow down to Oedipus we can do business, even make a little money, but schizophrenics refuse transference, won't play daddy and mummy, operate on a cosmic-religious plane, the only thing we can do is lock them up (cut up their brains, fry them with electricity, straightjacket them in Thorazine ...). Behind the social workers are the police, and behind the psychoanalysts are the psychopolice. Deleuze-Guattari remark that ‘madness is called madness and appears as such only because it finds itself reduced to testifying all alone for deterritorialization as a universal process’. The vanishing sandbank of Oedipus wages its futile war against the tide. ‘There are still not enough psychotics’ writes Artaud the insurrectionist. Clinical schizophrenics are pows from the future. Since only Oedipus is repressible, the schizo is usually a lost case to those relatively subtilized psychiatric processes that co-operate with the endogeneous police functions of the superego. This is why antischizophrenic psychiatry tends to be an onslaught launched at gross or molar neuroanatomy and neurochemistry oriented by theoretical genetics. Psychosurgery, ect, psychopharmacology ... it will be chromosomal recoding soon. ‘It is thus that a tainted society has invented psychiatry in order to defend itself from the investigations of certain superior lucidities whose faculties of divination disturb it’. The medico-security apparatus know that schizos are not going to climb back obediently into the Oedipal box. Psychoanalysis washes its hands of them. Their nervous-systems are the free-fire zones of an emergent neo-eugenicist cultural security system. Far from being a specifiable defect of human central nervous system functioning, schizophrenia is the convergent motor of cyberpositive escalation: an extraterritorial vastness to be discovered. Although such discovery occurs under conditions that might be to a considerable extent specifiable, whatever the progress in mapping the genetic, biochemical, aetiological, socio-economic, etc. ‘bases’ of schizophrenia, it remains the case that conditions of reality are not reducible to conditions of encounter. This is ‘the dazzling dark truth that shelters in delirium’. Schizophrenia would still be out there, whether or not our species had been blessed with the opportunity to travel to it. ... it is the end that is the commencement. And that end is the very one [celle-meme] that eliminates all the means From Fanged Noumena 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schizophrenia is characterized by a recurring denial of the signifiers that are enforced by whatever power structure is in place. Psychotherapy is a practice of turning people into tools that serve the current social hierarchy. Schizophrenia is unwieldy in this setting because it constantly finds a way to escape from the prescribed treatments. Quote Schizophrenia is the pattern to Freud’s repressions, it is that which does not qualify to pass the screen of Oedipal censorship. As said above, psychotherapy is repressive and schizophrenia is adaptive and uncontainable. Quote Far from being a specifiable defect of human central nervous system functioning, schizophrenia is the convergent motor of cyberpositive escalation: an extraterritorial vastness to be discovered. Schizophrenia is a microcosm of human advancement, but on a much faster timeline. Schizophrenics aren't broken, there just ahead of the rest of humanity, if we consider that human progress is characterized by the formation of different assemblages and the simultaneous dissolution of former ones. Psychotherapy is a fascist police force over the minds of advanced individuals who have progressed too far beyond the socius. Instead of trying to shackle and drug schizophrenics we should be learning from them; they're the prophets of cyberspace. Quote ... it is the end that is the commencement. And that end is the very one [celle-meme] that eliminates all the means This part is just a quote from an Artaud poem. The connotation here is that it's best to accelerate the processes that are bringing us to a certain end instead of trying to resist them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luke viia Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 @drillkicker Well, there you have it. The reason you think you're schizophrenic - and the reason you're paranoid about therapy - is because you're torturing yourself with Nick Land's insufferable word farts.

Please keep in mind that Artuad's schizophrenia caused his much suffering, (internally, that is, completely apart from Society and the State, etc.) And anyone who references 'thorazine' or 'psychoanalysis' in relation to schizophrenia(Land, in this case), well that's kind of a red flag that suggests that the data they're working with is like pre-1970 or thereabouts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, weren't you the one who was afraid you were having a stress/anxiety-enduced psychotic break? Or that you had schizophrenia?
