[D-G] University program on Brexit and Yellow Jacket (about << multiplicities in rhetoric>>)

Evanescence or withering away of the State: Hardt and Negri would
contend that it did not happen, only a different morphology (Labor of
Dionysus: Critique of State Form). 

The 'social time' mentioned in the Le Monde report exquisitely meshes
with the pathologies of religion, and some of us are not surprised that
its automatons are freaking out as the exodus from fairy tales grows,
and where knowledge replaces the very dangerous infantilism of faith.
The morphology of the rhizomatic itself may be changing.

In "Ousia and Gramme," Derrida pursues the link between the problem of
temporality and the logic of identity by analyzing the treatment of
time in the fourth book of Aristotle's Physics. Aristotle points out
that there would be no time if there were only one single now. Rather,
there must be at least (two [italics]) nows -- "an earlier one before
and a later one after" -- in order for there to be time. Time is thus
defined as succession, however, Aristotle realizes that it contradicts
his concept of identity as (presence in itself [it.]) A self-present,
indivisible now could never even begin to give way to another now,
since what is indivisible cannot be altered. This observation leads
Aristotle to an impasse, since his logic of identity cannot account for
the succession that constitutes time.

Derrida articulates:

'Let us consider the sequence of nows. The preceding now, it is said,
must be destroyed by the following now. But Aristotle then points out,
it cannot be destroyed "in itself" (en beautoi), that is, at the moment
when it is (now, in act). No more can it be destroyed in another now
(en alloi): for then it would not be destroyed as now, itself; and. as
a now which has been, it is....inaccessible to the action of the
following now.'

Hence, as long as one holds on to the idea of an indivisible now -- or
more succinctly: as long as one holds on to the concept of identity as
presence in itself -- it is impossible to think succession....The now
must disappear in its very event....Faced with the relentless division
of temporality, one must subsume time under a nontemporal presence in
order to in order to secure the philosophical logic of identity.'

This is why god is death, as well as an impossibility. This is also
Chekatt's "Allah Akbar," as the religious automaton reels from the
internalized (non-rhizomatic) either-or terror, as a
swastiko-schizmogenetic pinball caught in the crooks of the cross
(fylfot) and violently repelled to the outside as a "once-and-for-all"
act.
