Machinic Unconscious Happy Hour

Lewis & Nick from the Proletarian Contrarian podcast discuss Darren Aronofsky's 'Pi', exploring numbers, capitalism, and identity. They also analyze the film's characters, dialogue, visual style, and thematic levels. The budget and production costs of a film, as well as the incorporation of religion, are also explored. They delve into perception of patterns, visual motifs, and behind-the-scenes details, creating a visually impactful experience for the audience.

This will be part 4 in a series of discussions on Felix Guattari's work. Taylor Adkins & DC (@4Q248) both return to discuss chapter 6 of Felix Guattari's The Machinic Unconscious: Essays in Schizoanalysis. Taylor actually translated this edition, so we are very lucky to have him share his insights. The discussion has a great dynamic, with DC on his way to becoming a psychoanalyst. For this episode, we also had a special guest, Alfonso Williams (@theoryanalysis).

Eliot Rosenstock is an Zizekian psychotherapist and accelerationist philosopher living in Los Angeles, California. He is the Senior Editor of The Young Freudians magazine, an experimental philosophy and psychology journal for new ideas from psychodynamic therapy to eco-theory. His book Zizek in the Clinic: A Revolutionary Proposal for a New Endgame in Psychotherapy, seeks to take current dialectical approaches in psychotherapy past emotional regulation, into an active cognitive/intuited algorithm to life events based on the theories of Hegel, Lacan, and Zizek. Eliot and I talked about Egoism, Psychoanalysis, Stirner, Lacan and Hegel. https://twitter.com/CtrlRetrnRpresd https://www.johnhuntpublishing.com/zer0-books/authors/eliot-rosenstock https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5irXEV0jAnXb66-TqZ2ioQ/videos Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/muhh Twitter: @unconscioushh Instagram: @unconscioushh
