  • Summary

  • Widgets are strange, when you're an estranger, people are stranger when you're alone. In this episode we start thinking about death and work a little differently, consider what what work is and why it's a problem under Capitalism, why widgets matter, and what appropriation is... in other words, please welcome Karl Marx and George Bataille to the conversation.

    (I misidentified it as 8/13, 8/13 is only one discussion, on Fanon, the Symposium is 13/13).
    I highly recommend session 4/13 | Gilles Deleuze, on "The Deleuzian Nietzsche" https://youtu.be/oFFxnf92XqY
