Alex Ebert is an incidental musician and philosopher (among too many other things, incidentally). His interest in Hegelian philosophy began (unbeknownst to him) more than a decade ago, with his development of a peculiar mathematical function (magnetic zeros).
Said function is now the centerpiece of his Hegelian philosophy of sublation (freQ theory), and, for better or worse, serves as his platinum-selling band’s name.

Throughout the 20th century an intellectual hole opened in our discourse on the topic of religion. How are we to think the West’s Christian legacy? How are we to think the modernist turn to secular atheism?
In moving to evolutionary ontology and historicist epistemology, science and philosophy alike tend towards a deconstructive approach to Christianity and traditional religion in general. However, in the real of social history, questions and tensions that used to have a religious solution, now fall into a confusing disorienting void.
As opposed to trying to fill this void with an overly-simplistic new Christian ideology, this course will attempt to hold the moment leading to our intellectual break from religion from the perspective of the transcendental turn. This opens us to the strange challenge of thinking both the Christian legacy, and its atheist transgression, at the same time. This is the core of Christian Atheism.

Cadell Last is a philosopher with an interdisciplinary background in fields of evolutionary anthropology, psychoanalysis, complexity science, and big history. He has spent much of his life searching for the truth of being through questions about the difference between humans and nature, and the consequences of human difference for nature. His PhD thesis, Global Brain Singularity, places biocultural evolution, mind-matter relation, and speculative futures in discussion, which produces insight that he then enhances through his expertise on thinkers like Hegel, Freud, Žižek, and Zupančič.

What kind of people think nonrationally though? Not “neurotypical people,” for they would do what was rational and find themselves stuck (which suggests “normal” and “best” aren’t always aligned). States where rationality led to “suboptimal results” is what I have called “Rational Impasses,” which the famous “Nash Equilibrium” helps us identify. To offer a definition, a “Rational Impasse” is a situation in which rationality keeps itself from reaching its overall best outcome, and that means we cannot improve our situation by being more rational. Lorenzo’s address is neurodiversity, with a nod to Deleuze and primacy of “difference”...

Memory is a funny thing, prone to change with use. Details fade, episodes arise which never happened, and gaps appear wholesale. We never remember everything (we’d go crazy if we did), but we like to think we remember what matters, and most of the time we do, or at least we maintain enough of “the general picture” to “get the gist.” For everyday life, this is fine, but something funny happens with books, especially great books. In complex texts like Plato, forgetting a single detail can transform the meaning and impression of entire sections, and if memory is shaped by “the spirit of our age,” details we tend to forget or remember will likely be relative to and reflect that zeitgeist. When it comes to Plato’s most famous allegory, I think something like this has happened…

The radical 20th-century Armenian spiritual philosopher G. I. Gurdjieff is still largely unknown within leading-edge developmental, transformational, and regenerative communities. His profound teachings, unusual writing style, and sheer force of character are famously unique in the annals of human wisdom. Was this man a proto-metamodern prophet? Did he use transrational, mythopoetic, and sincerely ironic communication to help incept and prepare a planetary-scale shamanic resurgence of existential understanding for the post-pluralist Epoch of the Metacrisis? Yes and no. Obviously. In this collection of diverse and humorous micro-essays, the spiritual teacher, philosopher, and cultural activist Layman Pascal takes us on a wild intellectual rollercoaster ride with one of history’s most enduringly relevant and cryptic sages.
Gurdjieff for a Time Between Worlds is a unique literary and philosophical object that simultaneously addresses three types of readers. Participants in today’s new thought and new culture networks will find herein a deep, entertaining, and unique introduction to Gurdjieff’s life, mission, teachings, and writing styles. Students and fans of Layman Pascal will discover a rich autobiographical document with crystallized versions of many of his particular suggestions for inner developmental practice. And people already steeped in the lore or the living tradition of Gurdjieff will encounter a fresh and very personal take on many of the quintessential modules of his wisdom-teaching.

Adding to the confusion, the word “intentional” can also be used as a simile for “focus”: there seems to be both “intention as motivation” and “intention as focus,” and in a single conversation, people might switch between the multiple meanings of “intention” as if they are all the same. If I say, “Humans are intentional creatures,” I could mean “Humans are able to focus on a single leaf in a tree out of thousands.” Arguably, this capacity to be intentional is a defining characteristic of human beings and consciousness itself, and though I don’t deny the more philosophical meaning of the term “intentional” (say regarding phenomenological “intentionality”), I don’t think this is what is ordinarily meant when “intention” is used; rather, the term seems to often mean “a motivated focus,” “a valuing of x over y and z,” etc.
The hope of this work is to help isolate a clearer meaning of the word “intention,” because I fear a lack of clarity regarding the term might contribute to a failure to recognize how we can use “intention” to conceal us from ourselves and to control others. This work will be structured similar to papers like “On Love” by O.G. Rose, which will explore possible meanings of a term until we can better isolate a definition. Where such is achieved, clearer thought can follow.

Part I made the case that we are still waiting but the stakes are rising, that we need to address the task with which Nietzsche left us. As encouraged by Philip Rieff, we underwent an explanation of “the psychohistorical process” in Part I to be positioned for an address of “a psycho-political-economy” in Part II, and here we will argue that there is always a human and contingent element, meaning the development of the subject is central. Part I left us with considerations of Absolute Knowers, Children, and Deleuzian Dividuals, and the book also suggested that (if we mean something traditional by the phrase) “belonging again” is not possible or desirable without risking grave regression or consequence. In Part II, we seek to “address” this loss of possibility, and by “belonging again,” we might consider something more like “belonging (again),” which is a Hegelian negation/sublation, suggesting that ours is an age in which we might “belong” for the first time finally (to channel Little Gidding by T. S. Eliot). Nietzsche never wanted followers, Cadell stresses, but rather Children. Might that be us? Must it be? If so, we must learn to “leave Plato’s Cave on our own”—a founding story must be reconsidered, a genesis of a genesis...

For this revised edition, Donald B. Kraybill has taken these recent changes into account, incorporating new demographic research and new interviews he has conducted among the Amish. In addition, he includes a new chapter describing Amish recreation and social gatherings, and he applies the concept of "social capital" to his sensitive and penetrating interpretation of how the Amish have preserved their social networks and the solidarity of their community.

How do we arrive at hypotheses, interpretations and conclusions in the P2P Foundation, and in particular how did we arrive at our theoretical framing? We will focus on the practical and concrete research and experiences elsewhere, but here we focus on the sources of our theoretical insights, by going through the key books of the most significant authors who influenced us. As a collective, there will be many more sources than listed here, but these reflects the initial and ongoing work by Michel Bauwens, as co-producing the theoretical insights in collaboration with colleagues.
For more:
wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Sources_of_P2P_Theory
-------
As of 2007, Michel Bauwens is the founder of the Foundation for Peer-to-Peer Alternatives and works in collaboration with a global group of researchers in the exploration of peer production, governance, and property. He also co-founded the the Commons Strategies Group ( http://p2pfoundation.net/Berlin_Commons_Conference ). He is listed at #82, on the Post-Carbon Institute (En)Rich list, http://enrichlist.org/the-list) for his contributions to positive social change.
Michel has taught on technology and related topics at St. Louis, Brussels, Payap University, Chiang Mai, and Dhurakit Pandit University, Bangkok; he has been Primavera Research Fellow at the University of Amsterdam; and external expert at the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences (2008, 2012) (http://www.pass.va/content/scienzesociali/en.html). Michel Bauwens has advised the Board of the Union of International Associations (Brussels), Shareable magazine (San Francisco), the Zumbara Time Bank (Istanbul) and ShareLex (France); the "Association Les Rencontres du Mont-Blanc, Forum International des Dirigeants de l’Economie Sociale et Solidaire" (2013-). He was nominated as the Chair of the Technology/ICT working group, Hangwa Forum (Beijing, Sichuan), in charge of distributed manufacturing. He has been editor in chief of the magazine Wave, has written editorials for Al Jazeera English, articles for Shareable, along with peer-reviewed articles for scientific journals. He has co-produced the 3-hour TV documentary Technocalyps, with Frank Theys. Michel has written several books in Dutch, French, and English, such as Peer to Peer, the Commons Manifesto.
In the 1990s, after a first nine year stint as analyst for USIA, Michel worked as strategic knowledge manager for British Petroleum, editor in chief for riverland Publications, eBusiness Strategy director for Belgacom, and he created two internet start-ups, eCom (intranet/extranet) and KyberCo (interactive marketing) which were sold to Alcatel and Virtuaholdings respectively."

The P2P Foundation is an international organization focused on studying, researching, documenting and promoting peer to peer practices in a very broad sense. Their motto is "Together we know everything, together we have everything", i.e. pooling our resources through commons, creates prosperity for all. They document thousands of initiatives going in that direction on order to create "Hope with evidence."

If I claim it is “a fact that balls fall when dropped,” I am operating within a framework in which “balls are balls” (versus collections of atoms), gravity (always) works, balls are that-which-fall-when-dropped (and so something that can float isn’t a ball), and so on. In other words, the fact “that balls fall when dropped” is a fact within a structure of (right or wrong) assumptions and notions about the world. To say “facts are facts within frameworks” isn’t to say “all facts aren’t true” (for there are true frameworks), but that facts can only be facts within frameworks (within contexts). It isn’t false to say, “A ball falls when dropped” — for within the framework and “type of reality” in which such is such, it is indeed the case. The point is that this fact is situated upon the presence of the framework; the fact isn’t non-contingent. A fact isn’t its own context; it doesn’t “stand on its own,” per se.
Facts are not “stand alones,” as if they, regardless the framework, “facts stand as facts.” Facts are inseparable from frameworks and/or worldviews, as frameworks and worldviews cannot exist without creating facts. If we believe in God, it can become “a fact” that worship is a good use of time; if we don’t believe in God, it can become “a fact” that worship is a waste of time. We cannot believe in God without creating “a fact” about the usefulness of worship, as we cannot disbelieve in God without doing the same. Facts “point toward” worldviews, as worldviews “point toward” facts (again, there are not “facts and worldviews,” only “facts/worldviews,” per se). Is this relativism? Is this saying there is no truth? Not at all: we are saying that one fact cannot be a fact without something else being a fact, which requires something else to be a fact — all facts are “networks of facts.” We are always dealing with “situations” and “consistency,” never just “points” and “isolated correspondence.” Even when true, facts never stand alone (which means there are always entire situations we could explore and get lost in…a Pynchon Risk always seems present…).
What does this mean? This suggests that to think is to “situate”: we are never dealing with “free floating” points. We discuss Leibniz often in O.G. Rose, ever-indebted to Anthony Morley, and we might say here that we are arguing all thinking is Geometric not simply Algebraic, and yet perhaps there is incentive for a subject to act as if “facts are just facts” in order to deny the presence of a situation that the subject may or may not (subconsciously, indirectly…) organize and design to the subject’s benefit — or detriment. In line with the thought presented in “Self-Delusion, the Toward-ness of Evidence, and the Paradox of Judgment” by O.G. Rose, humans must be aware of how they are “situation creators” in being “fact creators/finders”; if not, they might find themselves perpetually stuck in “false situations” that erroneously orientate what constitutes “true and false.” In “false situations” or “false networks,” what is true is still false, and what is false is also still false, but because what is true, within the situation, can “appear” true, it can strike the consciousness as “objectively true,” when in fact the whole structure in which the truth is situated might be false...

Alex Ebert is an incidental musician and philosopher (among too many other things, incidentally). His interest in Hegelian philosophy began (unbeknownst to him) more than a decade ago, with his development of a peculiar mathematical function (magnetic zeros).
Said function is now the centerpiece of his Hegelian philosophy of sublation (freQ theory), and, for better or worse, serves as his platinum-selling band’s name.

Contemporary philosophy struggles with thinking differentiation as a tense opposition in universality, on the one hand, and singularity, on the other hand. Universality can lead to an abstract general notion of being with no relevance to the differentiation of Singularity, and Singularity can lead to a concrete idiosyncratic concept with no relevance to the differentiation of Universality. Hegel's Science of Logic offers us a way of thinking the differentiation of Universality and Singularity as a perfect opposition. Throughout this anthology, you will find a collection of authors (Singularities) who have wrestled with the Science of Logic, and have committed to thinking the relevance of this logic for contemporary theory and praxis (Universality). This theory and praxis is indispensable for the future of underground philosophers and philosophical communities, as well as artistic and religious projects, that may birth a culture for a truly global world, a world that must reconcile with both Universality and Singularity.

What does it feel like to operate in the world while not fully knowing the world in which we operate? Problematically, it feels like operating in a world that we fully understand. If we truly don’t understand something, we don’t even understand that we don’t understand it. If we understand that we’re ill-informed, we’re on the road to understanding. But if we’re not on that road, we don’t even know we’re standing off to the side.

...There is an intricate and unique relationship between virtue, surprise, encounter, capacity, showing, and beauty. There is a strange tension where it seems impossible to seek a good for its own sake, but if you seek a capacity that you never know when you will use it or how, then you must be willing to develop a good that you never know for sure you will use—thus you have to be willing to do it for its own sake. Also, how can you be sure that a person is being virtuous for the right reasons and not to get ahead of others? By making the test the surprise: how does the person act when he or she doesn’t know what is going to happen? Is the person “self-forgetful” (a theme in O.G. Rose) because the individual has a capacity to handle the surprise? Also, what is the difference between “pretty” and “beauty?” Well, there is something about beauty that is a strike and able to “rise to an occasion” that is not predicted or expected ahead of time, which is to say it does not fit within preset complexes. Indeed, to be able to rise to a surprise and thrive is memorable and beautiful, and yet it is such precisely because it was not planned, which means beauty requires of us to be prepared for surprise and the encounter. How is that possible? By sacrifice and by gaining capacity we never know if we will use—capacity we must be willing to get “for its own sake.” And if beauty and virtue are connected, then this act of beauty is a testament to beauty....

Our identities, religions, nationalities, occupations, life choices, philosophies, political ideologies, political leaders—none of these are “given” anymore: whatever we face, we find ourselves full of questions. “Is this true? Is this best? Is this valid?” We live during what James Joyce in “The Dead” called ‘a thought-tormented age,’ which, as James K.A. Smith put it when writing on Charles Taylor, is to say that our world is a ‘contested, cross-pressured, haunted world [...] [T]raditional definitions of reality which previously provided stable [guides] for living everyday life (in courtship, marriage, child-rearing, religious faith and practice, interpersonal exchange and the like) are increasingly fluid, fragmented, and deprived of plausibility.’ Might this prove to be an opportunity though? Indeed, it might.
Belonging Again describes our sociological moment where nothing is “given” and yet we find ourselves forced to confront the inescapable reality that freedom isn’t always free. We’re able to be whoever we want to be, but this was made possible by emptying our possibilities of significance. Everything is just like everything else, and so we find ourselves like that donkey between two equal-sized piles of grain of grain: starving, unable to choose, and tempted to flee. If we’re not going to seclude ourselves or engage in some exodus though, we must find a way to achieve “rest” and “belonging” around others who are very different from us and in a world that is ever-changing. And none of this is “natural,” suggesting we will have to become “super-natural” or something—somehow. Furthermore, we will have to “scale” the conditions which make this possible, and how can that be done without slipping into oppression and totalitarianism? The challenge is great.
Part I of Belonging Again attempted to explain our circumstance through thinkers like Peter Berger, Philip Rieff, and James Hunter. Part II will work to address our circumstance, arguing what it would mean to think economics, politics, sociology, and the like in light of the arguments of Belonging Again. In this, our aim is to show that in “The Meaning Crisis” there can be reason to hope.

--------
Bringing to mind Peter Pogany, Matt Segall reviews the work of Alf Hornberg and reminds us that ‘machines do not magically create ‘growth,’ ‘progress,’ and ‘development’ at the industrial centers out of nothing’: they require environments, people, and other things that exceed what machines provide. Segall warns us to consider the environmental impacts of our machines, and in a similar way we might consider the impacts of our “market rationality” beyond markets. If it is true that all rationality requires something “nonrational” to organize itself, then markets as oscillating processes of Demand and Supply also require something “beyond markets” for the possibility of “market rationality,” and here we have described that as Creativity. ‘Efficient mentality, first exemplified by the thought of Aristotle,’ Segall notes,’ was a momentous achievement of the human spirit,’ but now that “efficient spirit” manifest in the market is trying to deny its own possibility and be its own “grounding,” denying its “grounding problem” and risking autocannibalism, suggesting a need to consider and embrace Creativity. But how do we incubate Creativity? That seems impossible, admittedly, and so it’s arguably reasonable for economics to only concern itself with Demand and Supply. But if that is so and Capitalism tends toward Stagnation and the problems described by Studebaker, Cowen, Keynes, and others, then economics might not be readily positioned to address its own unraveling. Then again, perhaps today economics at least “pointing to” its own “grounding problem” is enough for us to think what needs to be thought? Indeed, perhaps so...

Plastic bags balanced upon raw ligaments,
and yellow water filled an intrusive tube.
The bald doctor promised that healing only cost
a motionless month, while my Angels jersey soaked
in my smell, a token of Dad’s hopes. Itches nibbled
like vultures, inch by inch
by hour.
April was cloudless—Fool’s Day, Easter—
dry—beauty abounded
as I struggled with air,
its touch and reminder of farm breezes.
I didn’t ask the nurses to twist the tilt wand,
those everyone-receivers who oversaw chemotherapy
and daily dialysis. All I needed
was stillness.
