I have several questions.


Spinoza seems to have used the aristoteles' & scholastics' grammar
of substance mode attribute


it seems from what i read last week in atp

that the two phases dg talk about the diagram

match up well

with
1-) semiotic intellect active : tensors, function
2-) physicall res extensa passive : extension , matter

the 1 & 2 two known  attributes of res extensa et res cognitio in Ethics
Spinozae


an adequate idea is one which is in the singular mind according as the
continuity between the active mind and the passive res extensa,
as it is in god or substance


besides the connexion of things in res extensa are the same as the
connexion of things in cognition

(are these based on correct assumption though?)


what to we understand by "passive" or "active" ?

that the passive thing cannot be understood lest is provided the concept of
the active thing

so that religion is tied to becoming active of the singular mind


(if god is the only thing active and its accidents its active affections
the modes,
so that the purpose of life in Ethics, is to become free, to be the model
of free man,
and this means for the parts of the minds, the affections to "return" to
god, so as
to "activate" them, to become "mode": an expression of god, and that is why
deleuze talks about
becoming expressive. deleuze does his system as if only the accidents were
"saying" the univocity
and the god did not exist, and that's why he agrees to an ambivalency
whence true and false at once mean the same thing
and which is just as waffling and why he takes so much time (his whole life
of philosopher)
so that his becoming expressive in courses, relations, books, "return" to
the adequate idea of himself living in a single substance > text virtual
actual Paris 1995.)



so that the intellect is passive when the mind does not understand the only
adequate ideas
active when it only works from adequate ideas, activating further reasoning.
paranoid moment: how to be sure you know what an adequate idea is the idea
you currently perceives in You?

could we not further say that deleuze expression of a diagram is the
expression of a passive intellect

its activity consists in the "production of reality" by the abstract machine

perhaps he meant that deleuze ought to absorb gradually god or the
substance,
to open up on the "outside" ?


besides spinoza's ethics  saying that the attribute is what the intellect
perceives
as constituting the essence of the substance, which is unique


so the attribute "res extensa" cannot be passive, to the contrary of what i
have proposed above
it does not either express "passivity" of matter for a divine active
understanding
(berkley said that matter was an absurdity as a concept as there were only
perceptions, so is "nothingness" according to this train of thoughts)

"res extensa" belongs to the spinozist construction of a single substance
but it cannot help the mind wanting to become active
as the latter needs to grow all its parts, all its affections and convert
all passivity
into activity

which is why Isabelle Stengers when criticizing the scientific habit to get
attributes & justifications by helping
humanity might be quite flat passive as an expression, expression of a dry
and dull intellect in this girl


the intellectual pleasure at experimenting with understanding intellectual
constructions depends upon ignorance,
the time for you to unfold the assumptions in this language,
its a passive task, a loss in your life, which is precious


better ethical path to activate anything which is passive, perhaps the
becoming human about which
James William talks about Cézanne and Sciences, a becoming human which
affects all parts in the Universe

"res extensa" alone is not an adequate idea, it is not " a name", a "model "


only names (or models) are modes, destined to grow , more and more active

"res congitio" alone neither is a name, an adequate idea

an "essence" alone is not a name nor an adequate idea for that reason, it
is a word in English but not a name


what is the concept from which you start if you want to talk about "res
extensa" in relation to the agents of the intellect? to this
for Spinoza was language an answer, the study of the relations between the
signs, what notions could be active ingredients
when involved in signs activities as affected by humans, that was a start,
so were sensations of geometry for Cézanne, or creating a robot that could
see for Marvin Minsky

i guess the fragmentation of words as so many black holes sucking your
growth and other people's growth
such as the pointillists concepts or words invented in atp if singled out
from the whole slow slow slow evolution
towards truth of gilles deleuze, this pointillism is relevant of a lack of
taste in the chosen words, such as "infinite"
(Henry Miller explains how he found ridiculous this symbol when he was a
teenager at primary school, the horizontal 8 made him
laugh and he said it to everyone in the classroom and the teacher grew
upset about that)


such these words: the "diagram" the "CsO" as various abstract machines on a
substance, the melting attributes, is a surreal presuposition, the n-1
abstraction of the "infinite" in deleuze's system, or work of his life:
his philosophy .


and the "abstract machine" single "flesh" made of intensities, its raison
d' etre, is the "traits" the dashes of function and matter,
of "activity in the mind of the creator", and the "effect of this activity
as the passive dash" as a "return", not towards god,
not a return of gilles towards the substance as its raison d etre, but a
return of gilles creation to the humans, a kind of oedipal thing right,
am I mistaken by my words?


instead of being just a human, gilles deleuze as a philosophy aimed at the
creation of a new people, in the name of hacking a dividual humanity like
"an IBM computer " (letter to Félix)
-
With no grammar,
the flight line instead is something which aims at sucking out human vital
relations "like one digs a hole in a tube" .


i propose instead We to build a common grammar for the sake of human's
vital relations to grow on the planet and beyond,
and humans to become modes, i mean 'affections' conscious of whence they
come from, as such, and where to they are going
together, (when) each mode having a project telescopic begets upwards new
affections or modes 'to come'
and forgets about the dullness the nerdy intellect faster than did deleuze
& guattari .

best congrats to everybody !!
