Thank you very much for visiting this site!
At this site, I am looking for an idea about a possible understanding society. My idea is inspired by a concept created by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari.
It is at work everywhere, functioning smoothly at times, at other times in fits and starts. It breathes, it heats, it eats. It shits and fucks. What a mistake to have ever said "the" it. Everywhere it is machines, real ones, not figurative ones: machines driving other machines, machines being driven by other machines, with all the necessary couplings and connections.
— Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, Anti-Oedipus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia, Les Editions de Minuit, 1972
In this book, Gilles and Felix described a possible world enabled by a dynamic and continuous interaction process. Through such a process, a subject might find an alternative way of himself/herself being free from "the" it; a precendant identical idea.
I used to believe that the innovation in information technology could promote such a process. But what we see today is a stagnation or a regression of the process. Hatreds and conflicts which have their roots in "the" it are still prevalent. We need to create a new concept to cognize, to judge, and to create. We have to find a new pattern of our behavior, a renewed definition of goodness, and a new model of imagination.
I hope we can find their clues at this site thorough casual and frank dialogues.
Enjoy!
