Georges Bataille was a philosopher who, in the 30's started two groups simultaneously. One, the College of Sociology, and it's more private side, the Secret Society of Acephale.

Acephale anonymously published works attempting to "retake" Nietzsche from the fascists, the Nazis, who had started abusing his work.

The Acephale publications were writings of a very anarchic nature, which utilized Nietzsche's philosophy, the sociological work of Durkheim on Religion, and its relationship to the Profane or to the Sacred, to try to understand the changing world they existed in. Some of the publications come with meditations to carry out.

To Bataille, the entire world had become profane. Capitalism, States, Fascism, and the "Communist System" of the Soviets had destroyed the Sacred itself. All of the possible Sacreds, constantly demoted to Profane by the uncaring mechanical logics of these systems.

Bataille wanted an explosion of the Sacred across the entirety of the world. And, to skip forward quite ahead, eventually thought that to complete this explosion of the sacred, he needed to sacrifice himself. To become an Acephalic figure, headless, like that of the universe. He wanted his friends to kill him, but none wanted to.

should Bataille's friend's have killed him when he asked them to, for the sake of the propagation of the Myth of Acephale?

so i started playing elden ring again

the silly instance drama between admins is one of the biggest ones that would almost completely be avoided if more people started instances for themselves and people they knew personally already.

i know this isn't possible for everyone, and i totally think there should be places that have good practices for new users, but still.

a lot of the frustrations new users have with somewhere like mastodon is the expected UX, having just come from centralized networks, and abstracted administration powers. but (in most cases, imo) it quickly becomes a learning experience for what the rest of the sites on the internet are constantly doing and constantly trying to hide that they're doing from users.

overly optimistic i think but, i'm hoping that the more direct relationship between users and admins on the fediverse is going to make a lot of people take account of what they actually want out of a social media, and a relationship with a website owner.

fingers crossed it encourages people towards more conscious self-hosting for the real relationships you want to have online. but like i said, i'm probably being overly optimistic

check out this cool guy i met yesterday when i went to oregon

changing what kind of masto instance im running is probably gonna be a pain... but the ability to set local only posts is too strong...

"“Put ye every man his sword upon his thigh, and go to and from from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.” And the sons of Levi [they will later form a Defense League] did according to the word of Moses; and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.

This massacre is the first Holocaust perpetrated in the name of Yahweh. And there is neither human recourse nor human justification. “I am that I am.”"

Above we can see that Fredy Perlman saw this "I am that I am" as one of the many births of dogma, but it is more.

"And God said unto Moses,
I AM THAT I AM:
say unto the children of Israel,
I AM hath sent me unto you"

This is not just dogma, this is the anarchic basis of all law. All law IS THAT IT IS. All peoples and all practices are only predicated on themselves! There is nothing within the Ark of the Covenant.

This is not a contradiction. Why should it be?

Providence and Sovereignty are united in birth.
The Sovereign grants Providence at the same moment Providence grants Sovereignty. Out from His head Providence oozes.

Providence is the Rule which corresponds to the form; Apparatus of Capture.

The Worldeater promises great futures to them, as long as the Worldeater has more Worlds to consume.

The police and military activities that characterize the maintenance of the Ordered World is an activity that, today, is seemingly separated from its ends. But, when the world is revealed as practice, it becomes apparent as the first musculature of the form-of-life that is the Worldeater.

damn what an influx of people while i was gone today

im finally back home fuck that was long

driving to portland and its toooo long lmao

been watching Courage with my partners and its so good still

few things drive me as crazy as marxists and anarchists referring to the other when talking about historical events. the only way to do so is to completely flatten the events and the groups of radicals to the point of lying

From the head of Sovereignty, which bursts from the living ways of communities as the iron rule of law, outpours the substance of Providence.

And here is the first body of the Worldeater!

The Sovereign as the anarchic figure of law-creation and maintenance, who holds within him the power to suspend the law, on the basis of the law. Law as tradition turned mechanical. As a History of Ways is solidified into rigid organs and muscles, with rigid logics that correspond to the will of no man, but instead correspond to the substance of Providence.

The Sovereign creates logics out of living activity through its army and police operations, by punishing and removing those who do not conform to its demanded logics, by removing the possibility for living life to be done to any satisfaction separate from it... By determining the world as something made to be administered. By Providence.
