featureless netizens,
I just realized how brilliant Judes insight was. If it is a question of attuning that which is neither being nor non-being but a kind of in-between.In GA39 it's a question of demi-gods who take on various guises like Dionysus, or the troop of dragons that makes up the first diagram of the I-ching, or the jewel net of Indra which is the power of metamorphis. In this regard D&G write in _A Thousand PLateaus_ that Indra "is like pure immeasurable multiplicity, the pack, an irruption of the ephemeral and the power of metamorphosis inventing speed and secrecy 'representing' the outside of the Estate apparatus " . This is from chapter 12 treatise on nomadology. Otto with regards to Dionysus writes that he is the "god of two forms (diamorphos)" but also "god of many forms (polyeidos kai polymorphos). It seems to me that this is one the fascinating aspects of so much of Greek mythology which is kind of *cunning* craft often associated with sophists where rhetorical devices operate like hunter's lures, baits, nets, traps which is the origin of a certain reading of socratic dialogoue which leaves its victim paralyzed in a sort of stuned stupor which is what effective surprises do to us when we are not trying to calculate and predict the future as a good or bad outcome. Prediction always governed by the need to control and master the unexpected and make our environment a little less horrid, less wild and more domesticated, more white. I fear I am digressing. I was saying that the "co-operative tone" that leads to good vibes is no doubt an exploitation of *sexual* energy. If then this network is a technological prosthesis then surely it's an immesurable vibrator cum energy booster and sexual enhancement. Oh yes, it's good day today :-)
