10,000 B.C: Understanding Earth’s Layers

Professor Challenger, who made the Earth scream with his pain machine in a story by Arthur Conan Doyle, gave a talk after mixing books on geology and biology. He said the Earth is like a body without organs. This means it has many different things moving around inside it.

But that was not the main point. He talked about something important that happens on Earth called stratification. This means there are layers, like belts, that form and organize things. These layers capture and hold things together, like black holes.

Professor Challenger read a sentence from a geology book. He said we need to remember it: “A surface of stratification is a plane of consistency lying between two layers.” The layers are strata and they come in pairs. The surface between them is a special area that connects them.

God is like a lobster with two claws. Strata come in pairs, and each layer has two parts. This double articulation means layers have two steps: first, they pick units from moving particles, and second, they make stable structures from these units.

In geology, the first step is sedimentation, which makes layers of sediment. The second step is folding, which turns sediment into rock.

obviously a lot is lost, but it exceeded my expectations to be honest

i think by now we ought to call them pica pioneers

is “the people of gaza” worse than “gazans”? if it was “the people in gaza” i could see how that could enable israeli propaganda on indigeneity, but “of” does suggest some link to their land

this thinking never left honestly, but now its too little seratonin instead of too much black bile, people do be wanting external individual causes.

i have to disagree, i don’t think it’s fair to dismiss his work as idealistic woo. i haven’t read that much by him, mostly sublime object, but there’s a coherent materialist line of thinking throughout it (especially in relation to the real) for someone who spends most of his time discussing lacan and hegel, i’m surprised by how clear it still is. back then he also had his silly moments of course, i’m not denying he has always been a bit of a contrarian lib.

as for the vaguely science-coded language, are you referring to the mathemes? or did he do that thing philosophers sometimes do where they just take gödel and heisenberg to make vague claims about the incompleteness of reality?

he should’ve retired years ago. like his work on lacan and ideology was very insightful especially with the connection to hegel, but now he could miss the point if it was right in front of him.

no zizek, nobody is arguing that ukrainians chose between being nato cannon fodder or being free. that’s not the argument, you’re just an old man yelling at clouds.

don’t forget /ussr/lib{,64}, the party too must be purged of reactionary elements

HALLO :D

honestly, if u swapped this for a group of soviet soldiers unloading a comically large das kapital, it would’ve gotten a like out of me

oo “where the rich own the truth” sounds like it could have some leftist messaging let’s see what the reviews are!

In this book we also see the dangers for their work in the current world. Truth risks being bought, processed and distributed. In Mexico, Russia, China, India and soon in other places a journalist writing like Tom Burgis will be killed after the first investigations and propaganda will be called reality. It’s for us all to support this work and preserve the liberty that we still have. For how long? It’s on us all.

i honestly might prefer the anti-communist slob to these almost-leftist writers that take any spark of discontent with the status quo and encase it in a thick layer of ideology.

wonder if a tiktok ban changes their mind

I thought about what would have happened if protesters were instead chanting anti-Black slogans, or even something like “D.E.I. has got to die,” to the same “Sound Off” tune that “From the river to the sea” has been adapted to.

when you make an analogy, the analogy is supposed to hold. protesting against genocide is not the same as yelling sieg heil, actually.

Why do so many people think that weekslong campus protests against not just the war in Gaza but Israel’s very existence are nevertheless permissible?

because the zionist entity shouldn’t exist.

Yes, there can be a fine line between questioning Israel’s right to exist and questioning Jewish people’s right to exist. And yes, some of the rhetoric amid the protests crosses it.

such as? the actions of israel have definitely legitimized antisemitism but let’s not pretend it is in any way characteristic of the protests.

However, the relentless assault of this current protest — daily, loud, louder, into the night and using ever-angrier rhetoric — is beyond what any people should be expected to bear up under, regardless of their whiteness, privilege or power.

israel’s bombing — daily, loud, louder, into the night and using ever-angrier rhetoric — is beyond what any people should be expected to bear under, you whiny fuck.

Today’s protesters don’t hate Israel’s government any more than yesterday’s hated South Africa’s. But they have pursued their goals with a markedly different tenor — in part because of the single-mindedness of antiracist academic culture and in part because of the influence of iPhones and social media, which inherently encourage a more heightened degree of performance. It is part of the warp and woof of today’s protests that they are being recorded from many angles for the world to see. One speaks up.
