I need your help everyone! A quick story — we were talking on tg and mawawala, mababalik yun. Hanggang sa one day nagkaaway kami then poof! Wala na. More than a week no talk as in wala lahat. Then nito lang I think he deleted our convo and changed his usn. Idk about him aside from his first name hahaha. Please help me find him. I have his pic though.

i really hate it when im thinking far too deep between words that was literally for someone else.

I’m reading it in french so maybe translation is different but I’m having trouble understanding what debord means by spectacular vs spectaclist. He emphasises that the modern industrial societies are not spectacular but spectaclist. Does he mean by this that the society is more “observer” than “performer” or am I getting this all wrong?

Thanks for any help!

I feel like new situationist theory is gonna drop real soon. I don't want to speculate too hard before we see new observable phenomena in society caused by text-to-video because I'll probably be wrong. But I do feel like this marks a shift in the political economy behind the spectacle. The spectacle proliferated in the 20th century as the development of the material base of society created media on which moments can be pseudocyclically replayed. But it used to be that the spectacle was driven by the aggregate unconscious behavior of society. I made a post a while back about in the last decade, instead of you directly spectating, your path on the terrain of the spectacle has been managed for you by the algorithm. But I mean now, even the imagination of the spectacular images is going to be done you by machine. This is actually crazy. Could the same technology that the new spectacle is based on also be detourned by using new tactics to disrupt the spectacle? I don't know.

How do you deal with wanting to be attached to a human? I can deal with it but my way will be removing that person from my life, and when I do it, I can’t go back to the person (I could get the ekk or just not want them anymore) and I kinda wanna see how it plays out with this person.

Time separates us from the infinite renewal of the moment, which is life as any undisturbed child experiences it. There is no time other than the time to organize death to live. This organization is the time of production and the illusory compensation of consumption. The renewal of the moment disappears beneath the counting of the hours. Life dies and value takes its place. Money sets the value of life. Money sets life as a value. Money is the value instead of life. Time is money and money is eternity stolen from life.

Hey I've got some money lately for Christmas and I'm looking for buying new books. I'm interested in buying Vaneigem but it's kinda expensive. Would you recommend me to buy it ?

So I’ve been in a situationship with a guy for 6 months now,at first things were hush hush but then he started acting like he was boyfriend the longer this happened,I was still acting like we were just friends.He still acts like he’s my boyfriend but we never had any sort of discussion about it.Important detail:in the beginning of this HE said he didn’t want anything serious…I think he’s into me like that but idk I don’t wanna say something and look stupid

just for context, we’re both 18 and we’ve already kissed, and done sexual things. we’ve been just talking and getting to know eachother. today he decided to be upfront and tell me how he doesn’t really have time to give me the attention i deserve and desire but still wants to talk and keep in contact with me. he’s working towards going into the military and pays his moms bills, while going to school at the same time. i understood him and was happy he was upfront instead of leading me on. he still wants to do sexual things and i do to but i only did it in the first place with the idea that we’d eventually start dating..

anyways, what i’m asking is what are your opinions on the situation and what should i tell him? i’m not attached to him or anything but he is a sweet guy which is why i’m in the middle.

Is anyone aware of any English translations of Jean-Marie Apostolides' bios of Debord and Chtcheglov?
