10,000 B.C: Understanding Earth’s Layers

Professor Challenger, who made the Earth scream with his pain machine in a story by Arthur Conan Doyle, gave a talk after mixing books on geology and biology. He said the Earth is like a body without organs. This means it has many different things moving around inside it.

But that was not the main point. He talked about something important that happens on Earth called stratification. This means there are layers, like belts, that form and organize things. These layers capture and hold things together, like black holes.

Professor Challenger read a sentence from a geology book. He said we need to remember it: “A surface of stratification is a plane of consistency lying between two layers.” The layers are strata and they come in pairs. The surface between them is a special area that connects them.

God is like a lobster with two claws. Strata come in pairs, and each layer has two parts. This double articulation means layers have two steps: first, they pick units from moving particles, and second, they make stable structures from these units.

In geology, the first step is sedimentation, which makes layers of sediment. The second step is folding, which turns sediment into rock.

obviously a lot is lost, but it exceeded my expectations to be honest

there’s a relevant boy boy video where they talk with whistleblower david mcbride about ben and other aussie war crimes

is her first name virginia by any chance?

idk but i’m still hoping for someone to explain freud in terms of big dick energy

i just remember it’s french so if it looks too logical i’ll just add some vowels in between

it’s honestly stupid how well this matches up, the us should sue us for plagiarizing their clown show

i think by now we ought to call them pica pioneers

is “the people of gaza” worse than “gazans”? if it was “the people in gaza” i could see how that could enable israeli propaganda on indigeneity, but “of” does suggest some link to their land

this thinking never left honestly, but now its too little seratonin instead of too much black bile, people do be wanting external individual causes.

i might also be talking out of my ass since i haven’t read less than nothing either, but that is one of his recurring themes (afaik for the ljubljana school of psychoanalysis in general). to oversimplify it, reality in psychoanalysis is the meaning we ascribe to the world, but this meaning is never complete, there is the real which resists signification. material reality is the failure to adhere to this notional determination. of course, psychoanalysis being psychoanalysis, sex is determined as this constitutive lack, something which definitely is, but as to what it is? (which is why sex requires fantasy)

yeah agree, he’s also just plain bad with facts and will often just blurt some theory out at a strawman or something. i don’t think it’s just his old age, i remember a passage in soi where he dedicated quite a few pages to kgb activity in the 30s, which is quite impressive for an agency founded in the 50s. some of these mistakes are pretty benign, but they add up to him being seriously misinformed, especially when he rushes an op-ed out.

i have to disagree, i don’t think it’s fair to dismiss his work as idealistic woo. i haven’t read that much by him, mostly sublime object, but there’s a coherent materialist line of thinking throughout it (especially in relation to the real) for someone who spends most of his time discussing lacan and hegel, i’m surprised by how clear it still is. back then he also had his silly moments of course, i’m not denying he has always been a bit of a contrarian lib.

as for the vaguely science-coded language, are you referring to the mathemes? or did he do that thing philosophers sometimes do where they just take gödel and heisenberg to make vague claims about the incompleteness of reality?

he should’ve retired years ago. like his work on lacan and ideology was very insightful especially with the connection to hegel, but now he could miss the point if it was right in front of him.

no zizek, nobody is arguing that ukrainians chose between being nato cannon fodder or being free. that’s not the argument, you’re just an old man yelling at clouds.

HALLO :D

honestly, if u swapped this for a group of soviet soldiers unloading a comically large das kapital, it would’ve gotten a like out of me

oo “where the rich own the truth” sounds like it could have some leftist messaging let’s see what the reviews are!

In this book we also see the dangers for their work in the current world. Truth risks being bought, processed and distributed. In Mexico, Russia, China, India and soon in other places a journalist writing like Tom Burgis will be killed after the first investigations and propaganda will be called reality. It’s for us all to support this work and preserve the liberty that we still have. For how long? It’s on us all.

i honestly might prefer the anti-communist slob to these almost-leftist writers that take any spark of discontent with the status quo and encase it in a thick layer of ideology.

from what I’ve heard side-loading will only be enabled in the EU.

the fanboys have told me this is a good thing, uwu smol bean apple is just protecting kids from downloading Clash_of_Clans_Hack_2024_Working.ipa

wonder if a tiktok ban changes their mind

there’s a video by jonas čeika that’s worth checking out, on how the simpsons became a copy without an original

dr doofenschmirtz is also in that race, iirc that’s canon
