    After a decade of work, I am happy to announce the publication of my new book, The Dynamics of Transformation.

    I’m reading What Is Grounding?, Deleuze’s 1955-56 seminar, and it’s striking how many of the concepts in Difference and Repetition were already being formulated more than a decade earlier.

    To make those tropes explicit: Eve, a morally corrupt woman, is given a poisonous fruit by a lying, evil snake (the Devil), and she manipulates Adam into sinning, betraying his trust and causing them both to be expelled from the domain of moral purity. These tropes are pervasive.

    The funny thing is that I had my response prepared before a loaded, semi-rhetorical misogynist question was asked because I knew it was inevitable, which is a big part of why I support Warren. Even if she doesn’t win, I hope that people can become more aware of misogynist tropes.

    Feel free to promote your preferred candidate in your own posts, but please refrain from denigrating (or asking loaded, semi-rhetorical misogynist questions about) my preferred candidate in my mentions. I will enthusiastically vote for whoever wins the Democratic nomination.

    I’m voting for Elizabeth Warren in the primary because I think she’s brilliant, courageous, and honest, and she’s offering the most strategically efficacious plans for accomplishing progressive ideals having to do with justice, fairness, equity, and compassion.

    “We move from one labyrinth to another. The labyrinth is no longer a circle, or a spiral which would translate its complications, but a thread, a straight line, all the more mysterious for being simple, inexorable.” Deleuze

    If enough people come to inhabit a novel mode of thought, the world is transformed.

    What is lasting in a philosopher is not that they are always consistent or that they get everything right—none are and none do—but that they express a mode of thought that slowly, subtly transforms the way the reader thinks, opening novel conceptual domains that one can inhabit.

    “The world beyond is so intimately entwined in our own natures that unconsciously we identify our more vivid perspectives of it with ourselves.” Whitehead

    “What is affirmed is the way one is oneself the invention of the world on which one depends.” Isabelle Stengers

    Of course, there’s no philosopher with whom I agree about everything, including favorites like James, Bergson, Whitehead, Gebser, and Deleuze, but this is the first significant difference I’ve had with Stengers. It’s always a poignant moment in getting to know a philosopher.

    I know this is a pretty esoteric issue, but it’s central to my interpretation of Difference and Repetition, and I was surprised to find something I just plainly disagree with in Stengers, as there’s so much that I agree with her about.

    In Thinking With Whitehead, Stengers writes: “Every reader of Deleuze is, by definition, attentive to the difference between ‘virtual’ and ‘potential.’” I just reread all the mentions of potentiality in Difference and Repetition and I think she’s wrong. Can anyone confirm this?

    I wonder if those who think misogyny is uncommon understand how often women stay silent to avoid provoking it.

    The atomic actual entities individually express the genetic unity of the universe. The world expands through recurrent unifications of itself, each, by the addition of itself, automatically recreating the multiplicity anew.

    It seems like an opportune moment to repost this article given the large role Joe Rogan played in introducing Jordan Peterson to a wide audience.

    The attempt to escape from beautiful soul syndrome is beautiful soul syndrome. Excellent interview with Grant Maxwell

    I did this interview for Interalia Magazine. The first half or so is on The Dynamics of Transformation, and the second part is on the possibility of reconciliation and the figure of the “beautiful soul” in Hegel, Nietzsche, Deleuze, Whitehead, and feminism.
