The Psychic Structure of Biopower Imperatives
This is from a conference on free speech. As best I can guess, the conference was held atop the Tower of Babel, just as the curse of the confusion of tongues struck.
“In his speech, Watts outlined problems that stem from free speech. He began by addressing the historical context of free speech as an idea within a culture.
“In particular, freedom of speech is conceptualized and found in documents as a universal human capacity and right requiring legislative and judicial protections, but this late-18th-century idealism obscures the manner in which freedom of speech is always already implicated in racism,” Watts said.
“The very idea of freedom, postulated in universalist terms in the 19th century, and serving as the ontological structure for the First Amendment, doesn’t allow the black,” Watts said. “This exclusion is not legal, nor paralegal; it is brokered by the psychic structure and pseudoscience responding to the biopower imperatives of racism.”
An allegedly anti-racist activist uses his right of free speech to say that using free speech is racist. Also, freedom is slavery.
As a science fiction writer, I can tell you the term for this: technobabble. In Star Trek, when the engineer had to solve a problem, the script writer would simply put the word “technobabble” in the script, and pass it to a junior writer, who would look up a list of technical sounding words and pseudo-words, and invent something that sounded scientifferific to go in the blank spot: “By reversing the polarity of the annular confinement beam, we can cause a tachyon cascade critical mass driver effect to nullify the event horizon field!”
Let us try this out, shall we?
“The very idea of freedom, postulated in universalist terms in the 19th century, and serving as the ontological structure for the First Amendment, doesn’t allow the black,” Watts said. “This exclusion is not legal, nor paralegal; it is brokered by the psychic structure of the annular confinement beam causing a tachyon cascade critical mass driver effect of racism!”
See how easy that is? You, too, can be a leftist intellectual and utter postmodern sentences that make as little sense as this, and win lauds and speaking engagements at academic conferences.
Of course, this means our society is well on its way to committing suicide. Unlike Epstein, who was murdered.
