I'm at a retirement home for my show this evening. A resident showed me a book that was wonderful to see.
A reproduction of Poe's original manuscript for The Murders in the Rue Morgue.

Philosophy is literally everywhere but mainly in the mundane work of social reproduction; the high-status “philosophy” stuff dudes get credit for is pretty useless (which is why it’s valued—distant from social reproduction). Nobody cares if we are living in a simulation etc etc.
I am sixteen years pot committed and I've made it my entire personality and public professional identity but uh is philosophy any good for anything?

That experience lets us tune our perceptions to spot the differences, which then become as unmissable as the needle hiss on a phonographic reproduction of a concert pianist.

Completely opposed to this idea because ALL sex, especially sex aimed at reproduction, should be banned. Not just some sex.

People get quite touchy these days about giving this much importance to reproduction when discussing how patriarchy functions, due to the scars we've accrued from decades of feminists privileging the feminism of mothers over the feminism of the misogynized and exploited as a wholed.

Interesting stuff. I’ve been teaching Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction and there are many resonances here
“Sisyphus’ work is boring, repetitive, simple, does not benefit others, and is not freely chosen. By implication, meaningful work should be engaging, varied, require the use of complex skills, benefit others, and be freely chosen.”

If you understand how demographic anxieties and the reproduction of family, culture and Nation is at the heart of everything from homophobia to caste to race you get a model that explains how these oppressions are interlinked almost effortlessly. I think that's worth a little discomfort.

Most relatable scene in Mean Girls.
I'm not even kidding when I say we had the EXACT same lecture in class about reproduction right down to handing out protection.

L’EHESS a l’immense tristesse d’apprendre le décès de Jean-Claude Passeron. Sociologue majeur, il a profondément marqué notre établissement. Son œuvre et son héritage continueront de nourrir les sciences sociales.
Hommage à Jean-Claude Passeron
