Collective Stupidity as Peter Sloterdijk's Spheres

Collective Stupidity as Peter Sloterdijk's Spheres Introduction This text is a speculation about the stupidity of community formation as presented by Sloterdijk in the first part of his book Bubbles Spheres: Microspherology I .[1] This text is not about modernism nor about post-modernism, nor about other projects or aeshtetics. It is a turnover of the idea that smart ideas lead to smart results and a provocation in which the term intelligence is merely substituted with the term stupidity in order to go through the thought process, to riff with the ideas, and to then examine the results at some later date. The text then starts with writing and slowly devolves into mere quotes that seem to make sense in the context.

Rather than thinking that what Sloterdijk presen...

RANDOM NOTES / TRAVEL DIARY: INTRODUCTION

Image
These things have been in my mind during the past week. I started writing a working diary. I’ll post each note with a title as it’s own post. This is simple thoughts and associations in a random order.  The cloudy smush for something that does not have any form yet, the beginning. It gives them some quality and makes them lack some other qualities. But I am going to try this tone now and see what it brings. Maybe some of you knows to tell what context is this kind of approach related to and from what kind of  philosophical tradition it might stem from. But I’m just going to write like this now and see what happens. These might lower the fence for anyone to post. Or these might also be provocations for something.These might be something I'll just clean away later if they make the common space too smudgy. Do comment. On my way to Palermo: Thrilled in Amsterdam
