It is impossible at the present time to write history without using a whole range of concepts directly or indirectly linked to Marx’s thought and situating oneself within a horizon of thought which has been defined and described by Marx. One might even wonder what difference there could ultimately be between being a historian and being a Marxist.

Why NASA is funding a 3D pizza printer

Kant’s concept of the noumenon or “thing-in-itself” is … an objet petit a: an attempt to give positive body to the radical negativity of essence. The subject seeks to identify an actual object to explain his desire. The subject attributes her desire to objet petit a, although the true desire of man is the desire of the Other - i.e. to be recognized in intersubjective relations. … The logic of desire … is retrospective - desire precedes its “cause.” The subject does not desire because he lacks an object. … She hypothesizes that, because desire is present, something must be absent. She therefore tries to identify a specific absent thing to explain desire. This fantasy is reassuring because it purports to give a simple account of … the universal sense of alienation …. [This fantasy] is the vain hope that the desire’s flame can be quenched.

Mysterious Poop Foam Causes Explosions on Hog Farms

motherjones:

greenpeacesemester:

you read that right.

poop

foam

poop foam.

“The foam grows to a thickness of up to four feet … a vile-looking substance seeping up from between the slats that form the floor of a hog barn …

And here’s the catch: Scientists can’t explain the phenomenon.”

Yeah, sorry to gross everyone out, but we figured you’d rather know about the existence of unexplained exploding poop foam (UEPF) than not know about it.

but wait wait wait wait

y’all talkin confused about how it formed

i wanna know what makes it explode
