“Post-truth” gives up on materialism. It gives up on what I’ve called semiotic materialism: the idea that materialism is always situated meaning-making and never simply representation. These are not questions of perspective. They are questions of worlding and all of the thickness of that. Discourse is not just ideas and language. Discourse is bodily. It’s not embodied, as if it were stuck in a body. It’s bodily and it’s bodying, it’s worlding. This is the opposite of post-truth. This is about getting a grip on how strong knowledge claims are not just possible but necessary — worth living and dying for. | “Post-truth” gives up on materialism.

SUN RA QUOTES:
- "Everybody respected him because he had something different and everybody could hear it and see it, but they couldn't do it" > authenticity (costumes, experience, myth, imaginary)
- "In my music I speak about unknown things, impossible things, ancient things, potential things"
- "What you say has many meanings. it means only what you understand that it means, but that doesnt limit what it actually means"
- "A catalyst changes everything, but remains unchanged"
- "you are all instruments, everybody is supposed to be playing his part in this vast artistry of the cosmos"
- Experienced next to inexperienced
- You can’t have music that doesn’t have ugly in it
For Ra, myth is what poet Jay Wright calls a “mode of knowledge”; it is a “medium to understanding” that is quite closely linked to the grand events of the day.
ON IMAGINATION
- Propagating: plant a seed and continue to take it to the next level
- Aware of the notion of impossibility: and how it shapes idea's (imagination)
- soundscape of quotes and word with different layers of meaning
- anatomy of mythos
- creating an imaginary vision that is collective
- 'renaming'
Fiction
- isolation vs imagination (space travel)
- power of sci-fi
- notion of 'ghosts'
- epistemological systems in the west as dominant - impossible in a certain mindset and frame
- some cultures have other mindsets (instead of the Age of Enlightenment and humanism as central)
- > Extracting things from the earth: (colonialism, violence, capitalism)

SYNCHRONIZATION
https://diversions.constantvzw.org/wiki/index.php?title=Eventual_Consistency

NOTES ON WORLDING
“Post-truth” gives up on materialism. It gives up on what I’ve called semiotic materialism: the idea that materialism is always situated meaning-making and never simply representation. These are not questions of perspective. They are questions of worlding and all of the thickness of that. Discourse is not just ideas and language. Discourse is bodily. It’s not embodied, as if it were stuck in a body. It’s bodily and it’s bodying, it’s worlding. This is the opposite of post-truth. This is about getting a grip on how strong knowledge claims are not just possible but necessary — worth living and dying for.
Worlding: het maken van de wereld (werelds zijn) > Harraway probeert te denken dat realiteiten en werelden niet per definitie bestaan (Situated knowlegdes)
Los van spreken denken, schrijven : hierme 'maken' we de wereld > realiteiten zijn gesitueerd! Niets abstracts zonder materialeit
Worlding examples:
Kritische omgang met computers:
- alsof er geen materiele consequenties zijn.
- alsof er geen relatie is tussen materiaal en werking / gebruik / functie
- materiaal komt ergens vandaan en gaat ergens naar toe
- computer werkt met met electronen: warmte speelt een rol etc
Materialiteit weg organiseren:
- gaat in tegen het idee dat we door binairiteit kun je efficient computers maken
- efficient computing?
- How commercial software works and shaped our thinking?
Belofte: op een andere manier wereld kan maken
- geen leger nodig maar soms science finction (gedicht, sci-fi)
