Guatarri was way more practical a dude when it came to both philosophy and actually dealing with the mentally ill but he was also a civil engineer or whatever so he's overlooked as a boring fuck b/c jfc civic engineering is boring as hell

and because if youre not as crazy as he was, deleuze’s editing was basically the only reason he was readable

I agree with the spirit of this statement, but I find that Guattari can be extremely lucid given the chance. But I’m biased

same, i have lots of love for guattari’s solo work because of (rather than despite) its occasional nebulosity

What I love about The Machinic Unconscious is the second half, where he diligently applies the massive semiotic diagrammatics he constructs in the first half to a rigorous reading of Proust. I am glad this was my first translation, because it shows he can be focused and concrete.
