If I ever have a book club, this will be our pledge:

We will never ask what a book means, as signified or signifier, we will not look for anything to understand in it. We will ask what it functions with, in connection with what other things it does or does not transmit intensities, in which other multiplicities its own are inserted and metamorphosed, and with what bodies without organs it makes its own converge.

- Deleuze and Guattari, A Thousand Plateaus

Whenever efficiency (that is, obtaining the desired effect) is derived from a “Say or do this, or else you’ll never speak again,” then we are in the realm of terror, and the social bond is destroyed.

Smart-Smarter-Smartest

Men who are smarter than me want someone who can challenge them intellectually, and men who aren’t as smart as me want someone to feel intellectually superior to, and I’m stuck in the middle and can’t please anyone without faking it.

:frustrated sigh:

Why isn’t anyone the very same smart as me?

I’m more insecure about friendships than relationships. I think a lot of people are. I think it’s because relationships are supposed to end. Most of them do. And when they do, it’s like, “Well, things happen. It wasn’t meant to be. We’re both good people—just not right for each other.” But when someone doesn’t even want to be your friend anymore or at all, and you didn’t do anything wrong, it’s like, “Wow. How unlovable am I?”

The social agents whom the sociologist classifies are producers not only of classifiable acts but also of acts of classification which are themselves classified.
Pierre Bourdieu, who I’m convinced was writing in a secret code and never intended for anyone to try to understand anything he wrote. Either that or he wrote for the government. And possibly pioneered doublespeak.
