Thanks I was actually wondering what a Rhizome is.



Still not sure whether I should plant bamboo or not.

EXPLAIN RHIZOMES TO M- oh, okay. Thank you!

Left alone, tweezer free, I imagine your eyebrows could be rather rhizomatic. They're wondrous.

[thomasrivet]

Loved your explanation, David! A fascinating keyword with layers of meaning.

I am studying about diagram in Japanese art university. Your talk is comprehensive and useful. thank you

[florianfelix]

What I find interesting how these rather associative, vague concepts end up inspiring the quite sharp and interesting analysis in nomadology, which seems to have been pioneering at the time.

[FFNONNONE]

What you are doing is extremely important. Keep up the good work.

[aryanyavari]

You made it a lot simpler to understand man thanks a lot

[melikaramzi]

Thank you so much for the very well-organized explanation of this concept.

Hey man, good stuff. Would love to see a collision between Deleuzian ontology of difference and multiplicity, and Adorno's negative dialectics. I know Deleuze was critical of the dialectic as a metaphysics, and refuses teleogy in that way, but couldn't Adorno's negative dialectics be a different case? I know way more about Deleuze than Adorno, and I've only glanced at summaries of Adorno's negative dialectics, but they seem instinctively compatible in my mind for some reason. Isn't finding what is non-identical in a thing the same as affirming its difference in itself? anyway, happy I found this channel and cheers for making these kinds of vids!

Great explanation ! But I have a confusion about the postmodernist writings link to the rhizome kindly explain more about it how and where we may use the term ?
Thank you

[serafimafuuck]

Thank you very very much for your incredible videos!

[mariusssssss]

good video
actually helped shed alot of light on this idea which im using for an undergraduate paper

[lilymargo]

This was so helpful! Please help me understand one thing though... you talk about the way rhizomes can connect to other rhizomes and/ or other root systems (even different plants (different types of plants too?) I've been doing my own botany research and I can't find anything about this. Is it that they literally get tangled up together creating a knot of roots, or do they fully merge? Or is it meant purely as a theoretical extension? Maybe I'm missing something.

It seems more likely to me that a rhizome is one system that can grow in many different which ways, and can tangle in with others. Maybe that is what was meant all along???? Anyone? Botany links please if anyone can find one!

Great explanation, thank you for this helpful video :)

[felipeandrade]

I find this concept similar to Wittgenstein's family resemblance and anti essence approach

[seb______]

Why do I need to learn about rhizomes? I dont nor did I understand it the slightest bit but im here now

[chriswilloughby]

reminds of object orientated programing, with it's four principles of abstraction, encapsulation, polymorphism, and inheritance. Whereas functional programming is more tree like.

Very well done and pedagogical, thanks.
