empiricist and a vitalist
multiplicity, constructivism, difference and desire
13 more annotations...
- no good and evil, but rather only relationships which are beneficial or harmful to the particular individuals
- philosophical “encounters” that led him to new concepts
- constructivist
- philosophers are creators
- shifting relationship to the
  
  history of philosophy
- two main problems with the traditional style and institutional location of the
  
  history of philosophy
- The history of philosophy has always been the agent of power in philosophy, and even in thought.
  
  It has played the repressors role: how can you think without having read Plato, Descartes,
  
  Kant and Heidegger, and so-and-so's book about them? A formidable school of intimidation which
  
  manufactures specialists in thought - but which also makes those who stay outside conform all
  
  the more to this specialism which they despise. An image of thought called philosophy has been
  
  formed historically and it effectively stops people from thinking.
- The history of philosophy isn't a particularly reflective discipline. It's rather like
  
  portraiture in painting. Producing mental, conceptual portraits. As in painting, you have to
  
  create a likeness, but in a different material: the likeness is something you have to produce,
  
  rather than a way of reproducing anything (which comes down to just repeating what a philosopher
  
  says)
- the concept of the
  
  fold to describe the nature of the human subject as the outside folded in: an immanently
  
  political, social, embedded subject
- I have always felt that I am an empiricist . . . [My empiricism] is derived from the two
  
  characteristics by which Whitehead defined empiricism: the abstract does not explain, but must
  
  itself be explained; and the aim is not to rediscover the eternal or the universal, but to find
  
  the conditions under which something new is produced (creativeness).
  
  (D vii; cf. N 88; WP 7)
- differs sharply, at least apparently, from the
  
  traditional understanding canonised by Anglo-American histories of philosophy
- second is an
  
  active element: for Deleuze, empiricism is always about creating
- first is the rejection of all transcendentals

It
may be possible for simulated civilizations to become posthuman. They may then
run their own ancestor-simulations on powerful computers they build in their simulated
universe. Such computers would be “virtual machines”, a familiar concept in computer
science. (Java script web-applets, for instance, run on a virtual machine – a
simulated computer – inside your desktop.) Virtual machines can be stacked: it’s
possible to simulate a machine simulating another machine, and so on, in arbitrarily
many steps of iteration. If we do go on to create our own ancestor-simulations,
this would be strong evidence against (1) and (2), and we would therefore have to conclude that we live
in a simulation. Moreover, we would have to suspect that the posthumans running
our simulation are themselves simulated beings; and their creators, in turn, may
also be simulated beings.
Reality
may thus contain many levels.

echtheid en werkelijkheid van beelden die wij denken te kennen
De term ‘simulacrum’ is terug te vinden in de filosofie van Plato en betekent oorspronkelijk een ‘valse kopie van de werkelijkheid’
5 more annotations...
- verzamelwoord voor begrippen als ‘teken’, ‘afbeelding’ of ‘concept’
- kopie van de werkelijkheid dat – uiteindelijk – alle relatie met de (door haar nagebootste) werkelijkheid zal verliezen
- simulatie vooraf gaat aan de werkelijkheid; dit noemt hij de “precessie van de simulacra”, de cumulatieve vervanging van het echte door een gesimuleerde representatie of verbeelding
- vier fasen in de ontwikkeling van het beeld
- 1. Het beeld is de weerspiegeling van een fundamentele realiteit.
  
  2. Het beeld maskeert en perverteert een fundamentele realiteit.
  
  3. Het beeld maskeert de afwezigheid van een fundamentele realiteit.
  
  4. Het beeld heeft geen relatie met wat voor realiteit dan ook. Het is een zuiver
  
  simulacrum van zichzelf.
