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

omg same and it felt so confusing like what do u mean u want sex with men but not gay sex?? that took embarrassingly long to figure out

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

FINALLY ON HRT LETS FUCKING GOOOO

yeah you’re right i shouldn’t have used them interchangeably, but i think that otherwise my point still stands right?

transphobia doesn’t just address any empirical transgender individual or group (although sometimes they’ll mark a distinction between real “transsexuals” and “transtrenders” who are indoctrinated by gender ideology) in as much as it attacks the sense in being transgender itself. their rhetoric addresses you even if you aren’t around to hear it, their legislation addresses you even if you are made the exception, and their violence targets you even if you’re lucky enough not to feel it.

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

o shit i missed that judith butler brought out a new book, but their talk with the same name is great

these brave patriots took it upon themselves to relieve america of all its surplus agent orange after the vietnam war, thank you for your service and god bless america

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.

getting hrt on monday finally, but in the mean time why the fuck does my voice sound the way it does oh shit oh fuck

i hate that never speaking again feels preferable rn

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.
