I got this down off the shelf because it’s relevant to one of the things I’m working on, and because – some 39 years after buying it and reading it for the first time – I feel like I’m finally in a position to understand and make use of it. Follow along with me, as I do a reasonably close reading of it here? It ought to be a fair amount of fun. #nomadology #deleuzeandguattari #deleuze #guattari

I assume you mean in Alphabet City NYC?
And you mentioned 1986?
I lived on 7th and C around that time. Wonder if we crossed paths (without knowing who that was...)
@bhaugen Yeah, I lived at 193 E 7th, about a third of the way down the block toward C, beginning of 1986 through mid-‘87.
@adamgreenfield we lived on 7th street between C and D. I could not find any records of our street address.
Also, altho I have no records of when, I think it was before 1986. So we most likely did not cross paths.

@adamgreenfield "magician" doesn't go with "jurist-priest"?
@billseitz Not if you think of the jurist and the priest as magicians of a sort in their own right (rite? lol).
@adamgreenfield right, I see the latter 2 as sub-types of magician.
Of course, you could also see the King as a magician. Or, at least the *first* king in a society. Who builds the magical apparatus to bless his successors...

@billseitz This is a very Graeberian approach. : . ) Or at least Graeber sits at the tail of a lineage arguing things along this line.
I often wonder if our approach to knowledge wouldn’t be improved if we couldn’t see all the sites where an idea and its near others were articulated, in picking it up for the first time – I guess that’s what the memex was all about, what Ted Nelson wanted to achieve.
@adamgreenfield "Everyone's a magician, it's just that most of us fool only ourselves."
@billseitz Again: everyone brings their own resonances to the text. For me, some wild combination of speech-act theory and Crowleyan ritual magick is what arises in considering what it is a judge does in literally *pronouncing* judgement; similarly the priest.
@adamgreenfield yup
