"Found parts of the “Proteus” episode to be maddening in their complexity, but I remain consistently astounded by Joyce’s descriptive voice. Still believe it was reasonable to approach this tepidly (at first) but it’s proving to be quite rewarding in spite of the headiness of the endeavor." Apr 06, 2026 02:40PM

Walter Benjamin
“The equipment-free aspect of reality here has become the height of artifice; the sight of immediate reality has become an orchid in the land of technology.”
Walter Benjamin, Illuminations: Essays and Reflections

Guy Debord
“The spectacle presents itself as a vast inaccessible reality that can never be questioned. Its sole message is: “What appears is good; what is good appears.” The passive acceptance it demands is already effectively imposed by its monopoly of appearances, its manner of appearing without allowing any reply.”
Guy Debord, Society of the Spectacle

Jean Baudrillard
“Americans believe in facts, but not in facticity. They do not know that facts are
factitious, as their name suggests.”
Jean Baudrillard, America

Byung-Chul Han
“Now, under the neoliberal regime of auto-exploitation, people are turning their aggression against themselves. This auto-aggressivity means that the exploited are not inclined to revolution so much as depression”
Byung-Chul Han, Psychopolitics: Neoliberalism and New Technologies of Power

Thomas Bernhard
“One actually finds most people uninteresting, I thought, all the time—almost all the people we meet are uninteresting, having nothing to offer us but their collective mediocrity and their collective imbecility, with which they bore us on every occasion, and so naturally we have no time for them.”
Thomas Bernhard, Woodcutters: A Novel
