It's interesting how extremity has become a norm at this point; in the
Gorsuch nomination discussion, there's talk of using the 'nuclear option'
- stopping Democratic filibuster. And the weather reports on the tv
network national news almost daily will say something like "Severe weather
in the mid-west; 40 million people at risk." The stakes keep rising;
people are frightened.
I keep thinking about the kind of discussions - cultural and political
theory etc. - that circle around Trump etc., and whether theory itself
might not be bankrupt, whether something otherwise might be useful, a TAZ
(temporary autonomous zone) of theory might replace all those overarching
post-marxist/DG/accelerationist/etc. approaches that seem increasingly of
limited use and vision. We're always catching up...

Thank you, Alan, for convening this month & more's discussion. I draw
attention to the above because like many recent events it is outrageous.
Best,
