Carol Christian Poell

[Faust]

What do I lose? If this is about modernism and post-modernism yet again it is important to be reminded that post-modernism is an addition and a comment on modernism, not just an opposition to it. In fact technique for technique's sake is a post-modern comment on modernism. I am not claiming by this that other thinkers haven't reflected on "technique for technique's sake" or that Poell is a post-modernist or a modernist or whatnot. I don't look as tool of analysis as necessarily excluding each others but as angles to look at the object of analysis or the discourse surrounding certain topics.

You lose a cookie? Can one lose a cookie? Or only win one?

I am just teasing you because of the long-standing modernism/post-modernism debate. And, yes, very well aware of the above "post-modernism is just a continuation of modernism" theory, but I don't subscribe to it.

[Faust]

damn, stone tablets from on high. thank you for spraying a jizz of hot wisdom all over our ignorant faces. seriously though, what the fuck was that. that the value of all things is purely subjective and boils down to how badly someone might want something that others cannot have is a given. using that as your argument is seriously lazy, just as 'lol, its fashunz'.. what we were discussing is the reasoning someone might employ in establishing that value for themselves, and you've reduced it to 'its for ballers to signal their social status as such, and if you have to consider it any more than that, you can't afford it'. well, thanks for the heaps of hyperbole.

they'll keep buying in retail and selling in the classifieds for 30-60% off. the real prices paid in the end reflect a more objective value, after those with excess money or not enough patience have paid something of a tax.

Mizzar, if you care for long-lasting, high-quality garments, stay away from poell. In fact, stay away from the whole aesthetic and stick to industrial made, mass produced clothing. I never once said that poell's garments are built to last, oh, what is that bullshit term around here... forever?
That's it. I'm done. Oh SZ.

Ouh, you are so high and mighty.... yeeaaahhhhhh.
Tell me more about Kiton, about POell about clothes that fall apart before you bought them (no exaggeration here), tell me how am i not up to par to your high standarts of "The baller".

Speaking of the FE-MALE collection, the breadsticks fit the model pnp used really great imo.

this is only ever going to look good on very anorexic women, isn't it?

adding images for posterity, now that I noticed the post that there was between #9957 and 9958 is blanked.








btw, I wrote that comment, meaning the shoe is dying from the viewpointt of other conventionally closed shoes and that clearly immortality is not a top priority of the shoe, even though he did his best to make it as lasting as possible under that particular design condition. it's not like it died right after you start to wear it.



on a bit different note, generally speaking, ecstasy does not go well with lastingness. also it is in essence rather remote from meaningfulness, helpfulness, utility, necessity, rationality, objectivity, etc etc. that's why some buy a $300000 car whose engine may die just after 30000 km's run when they can buy at 1/5 price some others that shoot numerically at the same speed but last at least triply. the difference there could be that of a toy precarious yet unusually exciting from home appliances like a refrigerator good and white. not that the latter is insignificant. on the contrary it is indispensable, while the former looks as if it is unnecessary for a model society because it aims at what it only gets at the expense of being called evil. but I'd say, let there be a toy that opens out to somewhere outside the confines, to virtuality from which "next" may accidentaly come in just a simple form.

As for the "post-modernism" that could be randomly generated by Alan Sokal and that likes to whine about the death of reason or absolute relativism.... I won't try to argue that its a continuation of modernism.

However:
Depending on how closely the key features of modern mathematics correspond with modernism and how closely new features (vi-x) in contemporary math correspond withpost-modernism, modernist and post-modernist concepts are integrated in contemporary math.


From here its a question of whether or not contemporary mathematical concepts can be extracted from their disciplinary realm and applied to culture at large.
edit: Its also a question of taking concepts already present in philosophy or cultural criticism and fleshing them out with more technical precision and scope. Novalis' union of the static and dynamic, for example, is quite like category theory. This project is already well underway and spans not only math, but architectural criticism, peirce's philosophy, latin american literature, germany's critical dialectical tradition, and more : http://lnx.journalofpragmatism.eu/wp...09-zalamea.pdf
