Gilles Deleuze - Beware of the other's dream

Deleuze at La Femis (1987)
Extract

[plume]

The untranslated part is the most interesting part of the extract 1:21, therefore I translate it for you: "So you understand, when you have such an idea, the important is not to know whether it is true or false. The question is to know if it is important, if it is interesting, and if it is beautiful. And it is the same in science, it is the same in philosophy, you know"

[Jeffwaifei]

I just imagine him explaing the Rhizome with his tone of voice.

[spookybuk]

This is how you know someone has just finished watching Berserk.

My man got so deep the subs were like Imma head right out

[hegelianischeschizophrener]

I remember those psychoanalytical analyses of Alice's adventures in Wonderland which portrayed the immanent and pulsing violence of a little girl as Alice through her obscure and illogical dreams, a literary work appreciated by Deleuze

[samson]

Dreams is dangerous, linger like angel dust
Ain't no angels hovering, ain't no savin' us
Ain't no slaving us, you gon' need a bigger boat
You gon' need a smaller ocean but here's some more rope
- billy woods of Armand Hammer

This sums up where guts went wrong with griffith in berserk

[tdez]

Wow this is Griffith from Berserk … Mirua was an absolute genius.

[vitogambino]

reminds me of satoshi kon's movie Paprika

[sethcopeland]

The way he punctuates "but by her dreams" («mais par ses rêves!») is spooky.

[acsatornad]

Long thick nails, ominous, foggy but crackling voice, talking about devouring dark dreams of young girls...ok Deleuze just admit it already...You are an evil wizard.

"We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality, and while you are studying that reality…we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s, how things sorts out. We are history’s actors”

- Karl Rove, Chief consultant and policy advisor to George W. Bush


an other interesting reflection:
by Richard Linklater

[dominicdiorio]

This has real “Denial of Death” vibes. The idea of others dreams threatening is pretty much a important theme in that book. I always love seeing multiple different thinkers come to similar conclusions from different angles. Idk why.

[fredwelf]

the question of instrumentalism looms large here.

[F--B]

In tradition, there is the harmony of the collective dream. In modernity, there is the civil war of individual dreams.

[writer]

Reminds me of Hitler and the Nazis dream when he says "People's dreams are always devouring, and threaten to engulf us; the others dream is very dangerous.
Dreams have a terrible will to power and each one of us is a victim to the other’s dreams."
Nietzsche and the will to power played a big part in the Reich's dream.
Even if they misunderstood Nietzsche's philosophy and used it for pursuit of one of the worst atrocities ever recorded.

"I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee"

[carlosluis]

A father that dream about his sons futur and create a company like Antony & Sons, for instance, and then capture them working in that company, what is he doing about the freedom of choice of the sons?

[renatogaucho]

Censor your dreams. American dream (now world's middle class dream) is nightmare.

[argent]

I had a dream that someone was dreaming of me. C'est vrai.
