(absolute) -> ("nothing" vs logos) --going down logos until--> (Apollo vs Dionysis or whatever else) .... all he's left to do is tie-up the remainders of his logos, but thats why neitsche is so paradoxical, he uses that remainder "nothing" as capital for more observations like "god is dead" the history of these observations is indeed like rhizomz . i agree with koenigsbrf that we can see the impression of these rhyzoms as they leave dents in the history of culture. why capitalize on this nothing(anti-logos), trading possibility for thinking, but why, if my identity is already circuited to the absolute and i dont have a nothing. thats what i like about the rhebus and kenning or whatever else connects us back to the absolute through meaning. "power of non-thinking" is fine for shop-aholics but there's something wrong when we have gladwell slopping this same gruel for the national food-industry policy makers http://www.ift.org/cms/?pid=1001341#headlines1 nibble-nibble niebliung .. seems the only word german keyboards can correctly spell here is the link to "Rap and the Esteem Economy" an article on Freakonomics, Steven Levitt http://www.cultureby.com/trilogy/2005/07/rap_and_the_est.html the discussion at the bottom is fun. but mainly i think the book walks a crooked path getting to the point - who could ever mistake PE for gangsta rap? pah-leez! althought the term is merely an industry fabrication, similar to "rhythm&blues" which replaces a more blatant "race music". there is no reason that this detail would unhinge his arguement, he just needs a little more elbow grease. _______________________________________________ List address: deleuze-guattari-AT-driftline.org Info: http://lists.driftline.org/listinfo.cgi/deleuze-guattari-driftline.org Archives: www.driftline.org
