This weekend we are doing our Q&A episode. Folks responded with some on the initial post, and I have also received some DMs. Let me know what's on your mind--in question form!

Do you have any good recommendations for reading on either Deleuze and Derrida or Deleuze and Levinas? Either attempts at synthesizing or contrasting. I read Deleuze and Derrida: difference and the power of the negative but considered it was trying too hard to systematize both thinkers.

Really just recommendations for those newer to Theory and philosophy! 101 / Beginner stuff

talk about philosophers whose work you've radically evolved on? eg is a philosopher you've done a 180 on, in terms of what you find her work useful, applicable to a given theory, or more or less pleasurable to read and think about! or you could talk about figure or text who you used to feel definitively about, but now have a lot of ambivalence!

Drafting off of Aaron's question above: it feels like coming in fresh to theory/philosophy, there are a lot of concepts that one needs to understand to really comprehend theory, especially contemporary theory. What are some helpful ways to navigate what feels like an overwhelming number of prerequisites?

This may not conform to the idea of the Q&A, so I don't mind if this question doesn't get answered, but it's been on my mind for a long time. In Kaufmann's translation of "The Birth of Tragedy," he notes that when Nietzsche defines Dionysus as that which marks his departure from Schopenhauer, he also notes that this definition comes to be something else by the time Nietzsche writes "Twilight of the Idols." Could you note how you have come to understand Nietzsche's conception of Dionysus? I feel this is a vital concept as it connects with Deleuze's "line of flight" / "deterritorialization" among others? Importantly, I feel this concept needs to be reaffirmed as its ambiguity has been exploited by pseudo-intellectuals, i.e. Jordan Petersons of the world, to legitimize chaos/violence/madness because it merely confers as the opposite of Apollo in the way he has been characterized. Personally, I feel this is a pivotal concept because Foucault took this to liberate himself, but his focus was on the individual, whereas Deleuze was on society, so I do feel that the commonality between them is in the creative aspect. I've said too much for the question that I wanted to leave open, but I just wanted to get your take on the idea of the Dionysus, even if it's just a riff. Thanks Craig!! The podcast has been incredible!!

What is the relationship between science, technology and Acid Horizon? By this I mean at times the podcastcan appear to move into a sort of Deleuzo-Simondonian scientific realism, re 'transcendental empiricism.' As a critical scholar of science and technology this approach is often much too confirmatory of scientific and technical prowess and the universalist notions tied up in it's pursuit and application.

^ Or rather, a discussion from the group on the relationship between Acid Horizon, critical scholarship and feminist approaches such as standpoint, feminist empiricism, successor science and Science Studies would be facinating.
