  • Experimental Unit: Total War, Total Love
    Drawing on military conceptions of totality to develop a total love operational concept. Total love subsumes all capacities to itself, like total war. Their is excess and danger here, but total war is certainly part of our present and future. Perhaps only total love can prevent our personal and collective ruin.

  • Geopolitics as Erotic Emergency
    Beginning the "pivot to emergency," porting my established concepts appropriated from military terminology to the vernacular of emergency and crisis. For me, "emergency" is strongly tied to "emerge," that is, what is "coming up" for us. It is an integral concept, so there is an "emergency-of-emergency" for each of us which is our "spiritual crisis."
    The goal is to establish a discourse which meets the grave threat posed by conflict and war (kinetic and non-kinetic) to each of us as individuals. Yet this discourse will not be directly partisan, but rather approaches conflict as an emergency which must be addressed (the emergency of addressing the physical, cognitive, and human security security of the parties involved).
    War is an important problem but the "logic of war" will not address it. The logic of emergency it itself drifting in my mind to the concept of "gregarity" or "gregariation," See the previous show, which was actually recorded after this one.

  • Experimental Unit: Causation
    Listener Discretion is Advised. Explicit language discussed and grave matters discussed. Attempted to be delicate enough, but language use is not precise or consistent, reflecting the (for me) constant difficulty of conceptualizing.
    Experimental Unit episode on causation. Created under the influence.
    Concept of the core political situation (a version of deciding the exception per Schmitt, which is to say what is normal). There is an actor who claims to act in behalf of a higher causal power (god, evolution, order, power, etc.).
    Then there is someone who says, actually, fuck that. You are not representing the core causal principle. In fact, I am, and I will use it against you.
    Two hour explication.

  • Erotic Emergency 2
    This time it’s transpersonal. Thinking of making this the Experimental Unit logo lmk what you think. Orange and purple are for two people. But orange is emergency and purple is eroticism or maybe the regal? Not sure about white, it’s just a picture of a sign I took.
    2 major ideas here: erotic encounters as emergencies for the incarnated person. And then the erotic as distinguished from the martial as stances toward the will of the other.
    Btw don’t stop listening when I invite you to, OC ensues. And if you somehow like my shows I invite you to be on, I feel like making them back-and-forth would be a nice change of pace

  • Erotic Emergency (Experimental Unit Operational Concept)
    Introducing the idea of erotic emergency. Eroticism or the erotic is an important element of my conception of emergency. Erotic emergency is on a mass scale, phenomena like emotional abuse and sexlessness, etc. it is also something we all confront as individuals, our own erotic emergency. Eroticism is considered expansively to be the field of interaction, conditioned by generativity, causal and OODA loop inter-penetration, and a particular stance toward the will of the other.
    This is only an introductory treatment, I am still (always will be?) in the process of refinement.

  • Experimental Unit: First and Second Order Operational Concepts
    Introducing actually itself a third order operational concept of the Experimental Unit of the Joint Emergency Response, namely the first and second order operational concept distinction.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concept_of_operations?wprov=sfti1
    First order operational concepts are like normal.
    Second order operational concepts are designed to help design first order operational concepts. It is kind of like values.
