    A new catholic religion is quite exciting.

    Until we figure out what religion is. Then it will be merely another philosophical label. Maybe we’ll have a show called. “Project Accelerate”. Or like “top accelerator”. Very entertaining. For sure. Thanks.

    Wow. A 10,000 Word blog post. That is a mountain of post. Kinda makes me not want to read it, unfortunately. That person could have had 20 readable posts in that.

    I think Acc. Is pertinent, but really only interesting in its religious aspects. It reminds me a medieval Europe and Christianity. The ‘saviour’ like Delueze; The ontological ideas that have been developed into theological dogma by the ‘saints’: Land and the others; Many congregants don’t even understand what their discussion are based upon but continue to speak about it as actual truth; the idea that there is an actual culminating motion and the ability of those who ‘commune’ with the Ideas which are to be known and acted upon by the faithful; Little concern for those who don’t ‘see it’ as well as a discounting of any opposing view, but even as it incorporates such difference into the truth. The umbrella dogmatic justification of ‘fiction’, which further justifies the faith as true.

    It’s like Scientology, but a sort of ‘next stage’ cultivated religion that has learned from the mistakes of L Ron.

    It will be interesting to see if it evolves into a Planet of the Apes missile worshipping deformed mutant human congregation.

    One can usually tell when a religions has reached a kind of ‘pubescent’ stage when it speaks so seriously and meticulously about the profound ‘truths’ is has discovered.

    I do like the ‘fictions’ thing. It’s totally redundant and self-arguing: like the One God who is three but one, and the Big Story that explains everything all the while allowing for a sensible progressive future. And the the various derivatives: it’s like Protestant shedding into the multiplicity of various Christianities. The left the right, the polemical and the unitive.

    This could be the great Modern Religion that we’ve been waiting for to be able to view ourselves without any further recourse to religious hype. Truly the modern-post-Modern manifestation.

    anyways. I always appreciate the updates here and there about the Acc.

    So thanks again.

      anything that strays beyond giving accounts of happenings on the ground (so to speak) should be considered speculation/fiction.

        I am on my phone. Maybe that’s why. I’ve wondered why when you’ve gave me links They come up as the HTML. But then. Even if I copy paste various sizing s it stil doesn’t work. Idk.

        Cool.

        “Fiction” is one way. Is “religion’ in another. Zizek talks about engaging with ones subjectivity through the (media) screen. Kind of similar to fiction. Identification with the image.

        I guess it matters if one is talking about more than spinning theories of, often people seem to confuse all faith/beliefs as varieties of Religion instead of properly understanding religions as kinds of faiths/beliefs. Seems to me that people are just doing what they can to cope with what’s happening and to entertain themselves if they can. The nice part of the video is that the suggestion of the guy in the middle that the way to respond to pomo tactics is not to engage them in kind (echoes to some degree of Kierkegaard recognizing the trap of debating with Hegelians) and so feed the trolls, but to offer actual political/social/economic programs that change the conditions, but given the many (and intensifying) limits on human powers to assemble such programs/institutions most of us just fall into doing things like these sorts of e-exchanges, not so much engaging with subjectivity as expressing our overflows/excesses. Alphonso Lingis (pace Lacan and all) was right that we suffer from excesses not from ‘lacks’.

        yeah. Similarly. Badiou has suggested that withdrawing from party politics is the best way to engage with politics radically.

        I mean myself even come to the same conclusion, as you point out there, ( K and H thing) that there’s almost no point in engaging with, what I do derogatorily call the “riffraff“. If people honestly want to learn and honestly want to engage then that is a noble effort and a worthy undertaking . because I feel that’s why I’m here is to learn from others. So many people just want to submerge their selves in theoretical nonsense the source of which they really have no clue except that they’re attempting to position themselves on the screen, so to speak. 😛. Just because people ccan form coherent sentences with complex terms does not mean they’re intelligent in my book.

        As much I think as I always give you shit 👨🏽‍🚀. I mean that my comments tend to be strange, maybe a little obtuse, I have been following your blog for now four years or something like that so that says something more than I just want to be an asshole. Lol.
