  1. New #Books in Critical #Theory: Drew M. Dalton, "The Matter of Evil: From Speculative
    #Realism to Ethical #Pessimism" (Northwestern UP, 2024)

    This is so bad. The autor claims to do #philosophy, that is "guided by #science", namely by the laws of #thermodynamics, namely by the ubiquity of #entropy just to then equal entropy with evil.

    I do agree, that it is stunning to think about how all of “our” (Including nonhuman lifeforms such as plants) metabolisms are dependent on a total/external energy-influx (aka the sun). #Metabolism IS using out-of-system energy to create states of higher complexity within dynamic local systems, while accelerating out-of-system/total entropy. That just IS the condition of our existence. That is the mode of our being. It seems so absurd to coin this fact (or the fact of ubiquity of entropy) as some kind of absolute #evil.

    This is just so weird on so many levels. Let's start with the temporal dimension. If entropy is pure evil, are we then to conclude, that eternal existence would be the essence of good? Entropy will end humanity at some point if nothing else has done so before, that is for sure. But climate catastrophe, to take just one obvious example, is NOT an inevitable effect of entropy — if evil is the end of life and energy-negativ systems are the nature of life, it would seem more logically sound to posit the evil as the thing that lies in "our" (aka human) hands and weird little energy-negative systems that create some states of higher energy-complexity in the eye of their storm as the essentially good (if you have to). But no, instead, the autor claims that he wants to exit anthropocentrism, only to then ascribe the inherently human categories of good and evil to the most basic conditions of our existence, thus achieving the opposite.

    Maybe the author is practicing himself the "fashionable nonsense" that he wants to see been "driven out of the academy"?

    More importantly, the ethical consequences of this questionable arrangement are devastating: The ethically good that has to stand in, in absence of eternal existence is understood simultaneously as a virtue and as inevitably futile. This is no #ethics for a human future on an exceptional planet, but for individuals who like to think of themselves as exceptional while watching the socio-ecological demise of a planet. It is an ethics for and by #privileged #academics, who still manage to think from a non-position, as if their subject-hood was somehow external to the material world it treats as an object (of knowledge). It is essentially #crypto-conservatism and as such, it fails to do the social and cognitive metabolic work necessary to take side with the ongoingnes of life and with those who are most exposed to its precarity.

    It is thus putting wheight to the wrong side of the scales, in this fearful historical moment!

  10. Das soll jetzt nicht arrogant klingen, aber immer wieder frage ich mich zb bei gewissen korrespondent*innen der öffentlich rechtlichen: ist die rechts oder einfach ein bisschen dumm? Naja vielleicht ist es ein bisschen arrogant. Aber vielleicht auch ein bisschen wichtig? Weil wenn so viele den Faschistinnen der Stunde so verständnisvoll entgegentreten, dass man diese Frage kaum beantworten kann, dann ist das ein Symptom für sich...

  20. If you know about posts/users discussing #interregnum related topics that do not appear on interregnum.name but should do so IYO, please tell me, so i can add their instances to the config of the fediwall.

  21. Grad den Beitrag unten angehört. der Faschist und Unternehmer elon musk spricht zu den englischen rechten und sagt. "die gewalt wird zu euch kommen ob ihr wollt oder nicht - ALSO LOS!".
    Auch: Es wird nirgendwo auf der Welt mehr Wahlen geben ohne feindliche Einmischung durch den US Faschismus.
    Wenn die europäischen bürgerlichen Eliten an ihr system glauben, dann sollten sie eigentlich alles tun um sich davor zu immunisieren, aber irgendwie kumpeln sie immernoch rum.
    Hätten wir nur den Hauch einer linken #Gegenmacht, würde ich sagen, mir solls recht sein, aber... 🤷‍♂️
    Es ist ja nun auch nicht so, dass wir nichts zu verlieren hätten als unsere Angst.
    Da denkt sich doch auch der eine oder andere pragmatische Liberale Kapitalist, dass er die Hegemonie auch ohne soziale Kompromisse haben könnte, wenn er nur die Füsse still hält und die Idioten marschieren lässt...
    Ist die Geschichte eine Geschichte der Klassenkompromisse?

  22. Habe das interregnum.name um eine Fediwall ergänzt. Diese hört auf die tags #InterregnumProject , #interregnum und #interregno.

    Tobt euch aus. ;)

    Wenn ich die Zeit finde, werde ich im oberen Teil der Seite wiedermal bisschen Redaktion spielen. Submissions welcome.

  23. Unsere #gesellschaft im #Interregnum sollte sich schnell und zum eigenen Wohle -weg von #socialmedia , #politik und #talkshow - im sokratischen #dialog wiederfinden. Denn:“Anders als in einer Diskussion geht es nicht darum, Recht zu behalten. Anders als in einer Debatte gibt es keine Gewinner und Verlierer. Das Sokratische Gespräch ist ein gemeinsamer Erkenntnisprozess, bei dem alle Beteiligten gleichberechtigt nach Wahrheit suchen.“

  25. Here in the #interregnum
    where the words are a blur
    and all lines skew curved
    we trend toward darkness..

    In here the view is clear..

    Light loses all relevance..

    Truth reduced to an empty concept

    Reality can be made to disappear

    The certainty of ignorance
    so easily manipulated
    into pliable perceptions

    In this propaganda abyss
    nothing becomes everything
    within this swirling cesspool of bullshit
    passing for modern politics

  26. Sadly but not entirely surprising, it seems, that once #liberals lose hegemony, they turn #fascist faster than you can ,👏clap,👏your,👏hands and say " #interregnum ". This seems more true, the more capital one has command over. And Its not t he first time this happens...
    So, I am afraid, that when we lament the #oportunism of big tech and other former #liberals it really falls short! They are not just hanging their flag into the wind, but they place a bet on the version of future they consider most likely to conserve their power and wealth. We really should consider them as actively bringing forward fascism at a historical crossroads! And for this, they should be fought!
    Techfeudalism seams an accurate naming for the development in the us, but if i imagine what #techfeudalism actually will look like, I still see #fascism. And I think it is time people start calling it that way in mainstream media?!

  27. We are living in what the music professor and indimedia co-instigator Brüning called an #interregnum
    the old order and ways to think don't work anymore and new ways are not yet stabilized .... This is the time of monsters, where weird things happen, confusion and exhaustion rises and it's behind the global militarization dynamic where oligarchically structured empires try to cling to old order and power. All empires must fall but there is large variance on how that happens and how violently.

  28. “The old world is dying and the new world struggles to be born. Now is the time of monsters.”
    #Interregnum was the term used in ancient Rome to refer to the moment of legal and political in-betweenness that followed the death of the sovereign and preceded the enthronement of his successor.

  29. Let’s dance and sing, and make good cheer,
    For Christmas comes but once a year:
    A #17thCentury #catch written during the #Interregnum, when #Christmas was officially banned in England.
    Set to a melody by Edward Nelham from Catch that Catch Can, 1652.

    Singers:
    Eleanor Cramer, Peter Willcock, Tamsin Lewis, Robin Jeffrey, Alison Kinder, Michael Palmer.
