What have I been up to? Well, there’s was that bad faith review, that I’ll comment briefly, because there was an update to that, sort of, me reworking that manuscript (because I don’t waste time, unlike many other people), and bunch of reading. I’ve been enjoying Félix Guattari’s ‘The Machinic Unconscious: Essays in Schizoanalysis’ in […]

I couldn’t even remember who it was that stated it, despite at times loosely using it to get the message across, but yes, it was indeed Friedrich Nietzsche who (69) states in ‘Beyond Good and Evil’ that: “Whoever fights with monsters should see to it that he does not become one himself. And when you […]
