Explaining Deleuze with drum machines

Brilliant! Thank you

what can the drum machine do?

I'm reading Girard right now and I'm constantly rolling my eyes. I think it's because he's obsessed with tracing but has no maps.

Amazing.

I came for the Deleuze, I stayed for the Suicide.

deleuzianism is like a gift that keeps on giving. i was suicidal for years, thinking i was indeed a "faulty copy" but i had an almost religious elation when i read anti-oedipus.

Saetum

Excellent

Came back because I've been thinking about and trying to understand LLMs.

NICELY EXPLAINED

We love a clever and well-earned tax write-off.

you mastered that

It’s 1am, I’m tipsy, I’m missing/mourning my dreams of a PhD in philosophy, I will forever stand by Gilles regardless of what graduate freaks say, my ADHD memory impairment has been kicking in, I’m losing my raison d’être…this is THE VIBE my dude!! Suddenly my love for potatoes and post punk makes sense 🥺.
And yes oui si I’ve had two margaritas but I really do mean it when I say I love you dude ♥️

Since I was born my modus operandi has always been rhizomatic, and for my whole life I've been made to think, and thus tried to operate, arborescently. Ever since I watched this video 2 years ago... it has freed me, and has brought great value into my life. Without a doubt, this has been the most positively influential and valuable video I've ever come across. Thank you so much.

think like a potato, got it

Still waiting for Guattari explained through guitars.

The punkers got that notion from rudeboys and rastas, the ghost riddim of electronic drums.

What a special video

Wow, the tzar of postmodernism, Deleuza got a nice glorification in your video. His essence: don't get divine aka vertical inspiration, became like a rhizome, crawl, be a shrew, adapt, develop each facet of your personality and body. He is a justification of the transhumanism, the inspiration comes from nature aka your body, not your rational thinking 😂😂😂. But listen to you, all so wondefy 😂😂😂😂

Deleuze would have loved acid house

A drum machine can't perfectly imitate a drummer, but a drummer can't sound exactly like a drum machine either!

A philosophical inquiry for the ages. How can there be so many musicians, yet never enough drummers?

Still, one of the best video essays ever

i had to subscribe just in principal of someone doing this mashup conceptually, before i even watched the video!

Thank you for uploading this. It is a wonderful and helpful resource in understanding and engaging with Deleuze and Guattari’s work

this is very relatable

So, basically, think outside the box? Should've just said that 🤔

I just got THE LOGIC OF SENSE, as I heard that was a good starting point for Deleuze. I'll pick up DIFFERENCE AND REPETITION whenever I get done with the former.

I'd be interested in how Deleuze translates into the field of education--I've heard that many educators have adopted his philosophy. There's a lot of crossover with DIFFERENCE AND REPEITION and the concepts of constructive verses prescriptive teaching.

Right now, I am thinking about how we traditionally teach the essay format (I am an English Lit and Special Ed teacher). All the graphic organizers literally TRACE the essay for the student--they do the heavy lifting and the thinking FOR the student. Thus, a popular scaffold for learning can quickly become a prescriptive crutch.

The idea of Rhizomes could also be an interesting variant to the thesis(tree trunk) centric way of teaching analytical thinking. Deleuze would certainly encourage more creative arguments that don't all die with the five paragraph essay. I'll have to do more reading. Thoughts?

"It will be new / whether you make it new / or not. It will be full of neo- / shadows. Of then—both past and next, / iridescent with suspense."

This is so condescending and clickbaity it's even comical... And you knew it

Once while I was in college, my studio professor grilled us with the question "Does a margarita taste better next to a live palm tree? Does a margarita taste better next to a fake palm tree, too? Or does the cheap imitation of the palm tree annoy you?" Another class was probably trying to teach us Deleuze and dozens of other philosophers at this time, but I was perpetually frustrated with that class. So I wish I could have understood the precedent behind my impulse to vigorously argue in favor of the "fake" palm tree as much as the "real" one. The fake one can light up! Be different colors! If you're enjoying it, then hell yeah a margarita can seem to taste better next to a manmade palm tree. The palm tree was my drum machine, and I didn't even realize it at the time. College is truly wasted on sleep-deprived stressed-out teenagers and twentysomethings.

Perhaps though at this stage in academia the opposite might be the case, one should be tired of the application of models of instability and decentered-ness to thing which actually structurally are rooted. For instance, consider how we understand the word 'snare' at all. How is it that noise bursts at certain frequencies and certain durations are apprehended as rhythm, as gestures?

Thank you so much. This is the clearest explanation I have come across so far

Cool 😮

Can you make a video like this for the Body Without Organs?

So THATS why deleuzians love potatoes

Yes! Thats It! Thats it! Thats me

This has to be the best and simplest explanation of Deleuze I have seen so far :D you really get the core concept, and also understand how it is related to the majority of his other ideas. God job!

Soooooo wait a minute.
A guitarist like Wes Montgomery is arborescent because he makes his electric guitar sound like just a normal guitar with an amp attached, sticking to a Platonic idea of "guitar".
Jimi Hendrix, on the other hand, is rhizomatic because he makes his guitar sound like... Basically anything BUT a Platonic idea of guitar, using distortion and feedback wails, hitherto considered undesirable mistakes, as a creative means, treating the electric guitar as a completely new instrument (I faintly remember a quote from Hendrix himself that went something like "you can play more than just the strings and the fretboard", ie you don't have to stick to a Platonic idea of guitar when you play a Strat).
And the body without organs is all the parts of the guitar and the amp being used in a way they're not supposed to, their original function disregarded.
Is this correct? Did I just understand two Deleuzian concepts?

so good!

I really love your content man, is great, thank you very much

16 y/o me creameeed so hard at proto punk and d&g being together
and I still do, this fuggin rocks 🤍🤍🤍🏂🏻🏂🏻🏂🏻

using twin peaks is sort of ironic for the freudian criticism lmao have you seen david lynch.

I guess I’m a staunch arborist. & though I agree with almost nothing they say, I just want to commend you on making this video.

I can’t believe how many of their topics you could fit into 14 minutes. & how well you explained them. Well done!

Great explanation, thx
