if hosea talks to us about the problems of being obdient to those who are problematic, talks about a human failure of loyalty, then luke tells us the opposite--the gifts of being obdient to a god...and we can then talk about the split b/w the church and the gospel?

there is irony in the zimmerman trial. it might not have been murder. it might not have been manslaughter. these are legal technicalities. but, the stand yr ground laws was born out of centuries of white men killing black boys. the murder and manslaughter laws were constructed in an environment that were intended to police black bodies. there might be no legal justice, because in the american south, the history of policing black bodies, results in white men killing black boys. 50 years ago, there wouldn't have been a trial. and that is progress.

The governmentality Foucault describes in The Birth of Biopolitics does not seem sufficient for understanding what it implies from the 1990s on, when governmentality began to limit the freedom which Foucault made the condition of “liberalism.” The freedom in liberalism is always and primarily the freedom of private ownership and owners. When the “rights of man” are threatened – by a crisis, a revolt, or some other phenomenon – regimes of governmentality other than liberal governmentality are required in order to ensure their durability. In this way, the problem of “governing as little as possible” first created the conditions for, then gave way to, as has always been the case in the history of capitalism, ever more authoritarian politics. To read The Birth of Biopolitics in light of what is taking place today is to be struck by a certain political naivete, since the parable of “liberalism” always describes, leads to, the same thing: crisis, limitations on democracy and “liberal” freedoms, and the institution of more or less authoritarian regimes according to the intensity of the class struggle to wage in order to maintain the “privileges” of private property…

This is why the current crisis is not only a financial crisis but also a failure of neoliberal governmentality of society. This mode of government founded on business and proprietary individualism has failed Maurizio Lazzarato The Making of the Indebted Man Semiotext(e), 2012, pgs. 108-109

think of the possiblity that the problem of hypostatic union for ms was less of a theological problem, and more of a philo/ontological problem about whatness--the humanist reclaiming of arsitole from scripture, ironically using scripture in a reform manner, a kind of trick that one does w. mirrors--similar to erasmus' use of scripture or spinoza's tractus.

in the parking lot of original joes today,  i realized three things simultaneously:

a) i want to fuck most of these boys in shiny new pick up trucks
b) i am afraid of most of these boys in shiny new pick up trucks
c) there is nothing owned by families or individuals in the portion of the fort on the other side of the highway, and the town is being built to be inherited by these boys in shiny new pick up trucks,

 questions about servertus

a) problems of vernacular language and arguement via overwhelming
b) idea of Christ's parraells w/  Moses, etc--suggest a kind of narrative cohesion, but is this is tension w/ the idea of hypostasis
c) he positions himself against the heritage of heresy, and the current trends of hersey, but is not really orthodox. what is this middle way
d) essence/substance problem

Peter Hoffer's portraits of semi truck crashes, on the side of the road, i saw on the side of the wall of a high end resturant in montreal, and they made me wonder---calling them staitons on the cross is t oo on the nose, the colours are a little too bruise slick, the scale is small enough to be weirdly intimate, and the chaos seems on the edge of tamed--maybe too beautiful?



consider this video a metaphor for anarchism.

Andres Durany explains how current Salt Lake urban policy denies Young's vision:

The problem, he explained during an interview at the Grand America Hotel, is that Salt Lake City’s massive streets were never supposed to be completely paved from edge to edge. Instead, they were supposed to respond to the buildings that line them, getting wider or narrower depending on the needs of the surrounding homes and businesses.
