Fake Ideas And Plastic Trains .....

First entry. This blog is about the fact that one oscillates between the paranoiac and the schizophrenic process. You know, "every investment is collective, every fantasy is a group fantasy" (Anti-Oedipus, 280). So if we follow this logic, we can say that the paranoiac walks, talks, eats, shits, and fucks from the point of view of molar arrangements--that is, statistical entries, races, bureaucratic forms, and escort agencies.

The schizo, in contrast, goes out for a walk, he's constantly on the move, piercing through walls. He dislikes bureaucracies and the little boxes in which he ought to fix himself, and here, fix stands as the image of the pin on the wall of a corporate map, and the boss saying: "Here, that was you Rosales, thank you for your time with us but we need to shrink our cost." Or better yet, fix stands for that little box in your college or job application that asks you to check: Male or Female, Hispanic or White? The schizo escapes from the point of view of molecular arrangements--he eats, walks, talks, shits, and fucks by way of partial objects and "breakthroughs" as opposed to "breakdowns." He goes to a five dollar-all ages show, circle pits to Cross Examination and throws a blow at University bureaucrats who claim: "I know exactly how you feel." In other words, the schizo is a cartographer; he maps out lines of flight!

And so that's what we'll do here. Or at the very least will attempt to do: to trace lines of flight, to map out how to escape apparatuses of power and their molar stratifications.... and so on and so forth and the like and the rest.....

But what about the tittle: Fake Ideas and Plastic Trains? Well.... We'll say that for now it's only a matter of time. Are we talking about ideology and the illusions produced by mass consumption? Are we talking about how capitalist production and the state apparatus controls, regulates, and mass produce our bodies, our desires, and our pleasures....????? You'll find out as we move along, as we circulate from one point to another.... like we said, it's only a matter of time!
