[D-G] deleuze and benjamin on violence

[hwenk]

Hello,

as I thought is already known the suicide of Deleuze was caused by pains
caused by a illnes of his lounges. This is also in accordance to
Spinoza and the  antiques to choose the less painfull.
As you may know, in old Rome there were suicides caused
by political intriques.

Deleuze and Guattri were no friends of Thantanos, the desire to die,
which in my eyes has good grounds in experience.


Now habitudes are there to make the life more comfortable.
 To have ideas you have to have spare time
and the head free of the a lot of things that normaly bother you.
And if you have ideas, the test that you really understand what idea it is
by the classical
probe if you are able to explain it to someone else in an understandable way
is in my eyes very good.
I note that Russel, Einstein, Freud and a lot of other great minds are
perhaps most famous because they had that ability of graspable
explanaitions.
As it is complicated enough to understand something, especially grown in the
head of someone different,  it is also polite
to express it in very polite and direct way.

greetings Harald Wenk

I think I understand how Deleuze's suicide was an act of joy, a repetition
that generated difference, while the Nazi suicide was a repetition of the
same.  Difference is limited in the (super)market to the calculated
differences between brands of breakfast cereal.
