some very light reading this morning. (skimming the internet).
deleuze’s conception of desire. very interesting. making me think about the concept of desire in a much more positive and productive way. something that is not just attributed to a lacking in life but more of a catalyst for taking action towards the things i actually want/desire..
anyone have thoughts? i’m very interested about this.

It seems there’s a big Deleuze craze happening for the past year or so. It’s cause he was right and the 2020’s are the most Deluezian decade yet.

unforfunately missing k is for Kant but you can find it on tik tok if you have it. great intro to Deleuze if you have an interest in philosophy at all. i just think its cool he has this alphabet series, reminds me of those memes which are like a celebrities “a-z” of their catchphrases which makes me laugh. not everyone’s cup of tea though. animal, desire and style are my favourites.

depends on if you think freudian/psychoanalytic thought is philosophical or not, but i enjoyed quite a lot (as someone coming from a more psychological/lit criticism angle)

what are your thoughts?
i agree to a certain extent. it depends on the delivery of the question as well.
most of the time you can tell if someone is genuinely interested in who you are as a person. asking about somebody’s job can provide a lot of insight into a person’s interests and general character - i think it’s fine for your job to be an aspect of your identity.
i could also tangent into why capitalism may have an influence on why this question is asked so frequently..
i do find myself struggling with gauging the intentions behind this question sometimes; which often makes me less emotionally open and usually filters a potential friendship into a professional/transactional relationship immediately.

letting go of the past. letting go of unrealistic expectations. letting go of your ego. letting go of the wounds you still hold. release and create space in your heart and mind and soul to allow healing and love into ur lifeeee :)
