      “[...] we are lured into a perpetual state of retromania, because, as the late Mark Fisher pointed out, it is the present that has gone missing (MakeAmerica Dank Again). Pseudo-events have no chronology, no development, no beginning or middle, let alone an end. WeÕre beyond the terminal process, beyond the postmodern patchwork. Everything accelerates”.

    2. piedra?

      “El valor de antigüedad prescinde en principio totalmente de la manifestación individual localizada como tal y valora únicamente la impresión anímica subjetiva que causa todo monumento sin excepción alguna, es decir, sin tener en cuenta sus características objetivas específicas, o más exactamente, teniendo en cuenta solamente aquellas características que indican la asimilación del monumento en la generalidad, las huellas de la vejez, en lugar de las que revelan su individualidad originaria y objetivamente cerrada.”

    3. that immaterial connection

      In this sense: how we can relate the artifactual mind of "history's violence" (i.e. the Artificial) as immaterial? Are we able to produce a history of violent ideas in absence of its technical execution?

      “The horizon opens a field, a continuum of degrees, between the illusion of a transparent reading and what looks as if it will never be within reach because it maintains all these ‘reaches’.”

    5. the first robots

      "We suggest, therefore, that one important difference between those who lived and those who died was an enhanced genetic-based ability to retain salt. [...] Because the high mortality during slavery was caused largely by salt- and water depletive diseases, we have suggested that one genetic difference between the two populations may relate to sodium metabolism. We hypothesize that an enhanced genetic-based ability to conserve salt is more prevalent among western hemisphere blacks than among African blacks and may, in part, explain the higher blood pressure levels in the former group."
