Ben ik de enige die bij het zien van Latour in le Tour denkt aan die andere Latour en zich afvraagt wie nu nooit modern is geweest #filosofie #latour #letour https://nl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wij_zijn_nooit_modern_geweest

For anyone interested in Bruno Latour's work (& who also reads French), this issue of 'Pragmata' contains a substantial symposium "Bruno Latour, pragmatisme et politique", Sous la direction d’Antoine Hennion.

Alright last one really

"...those who call themselves the Left ... simultaneously sure of failing and sure of being right — yes being right in the sense of conniving happily with the Right ... If you keep failing and don’t change it does not mean you are facing an invincible monster, it means you like, you enjoy, you love, to be defeated by a monster. "

DO NOT FALL IN LOVE WITH LOSING TO CAPITALISM. IT IS TEMPTING. DON'T DO IT.

THIS PART. THIS PART RIGHT HERE.

"Failure should be allowed to make you learn something; it cannot be transmuted into the inner comfort of being right because you so miserably failed to escape from the grips of capitalism. "

Okay, now we're to the meaty part. #AffectsOfCapitalism #STS #Latour #SiliconValleyBank

Read it, absorb it, internalize it!

"It appears that capitalism enjoys being overthrown as long as it is attacked as a total system to be totally subverted. Because, quite naturally, the more systematic you are the surer you are to resist any attempt at being overthrown: that’s what a system is made for! "

Okay this one is kind of gratuitous, but I love a stroke that sweeps through Graber, Polanyi, and Foucault all at once. #AffectsOfCapitalism #Latour #STS #SiliconValleyBank

"The closer you are to science, the more possibilities open up; the more intimate your contact with first nature, the more surprises you get, the more unexpected agencies spring up, the more margins for maneuver you obtain. Is this not the experience we all have when reading and writing scientific literature? In science, when necessity comes in, it is possibilities that are multiplied."

#AffectsOfCapitalism #STS #Latour #SiliconValleyBank

"Why is it that when we are asked or summoned to combat capitalism, we feel, I feel so helpless? Faced with such a question, I will start with this idea—that one of the affects of capitalism, that is, of thinking in terms of capitalism, is to generate for most of people who don’t benefit from its wealth a feeling of helplessness and for a few people who benefits from it an immense enthusiasm together with adumbness of the senses."

@Mayobrot

Prior to #chatgpt Latour read on the surface as a critique of rationality. Now it reads as a description of what #LLM does every second, & users are fascinated (“Write a sonnet about nuclear war…”).

The problem: naturalisation, socialisation & deconstruction don’t come together as “assembly of beings”, but as representations in a corporate machine.

Since Democrit few thinkers have been confirmed the way #LLM confirms #Latour - a curse but also a new start if we catch up in time.
