      Go to Libya, go to the beach and look for young boys, then pay them to have sex with you, then go to Death Valley and take LSD, write it up as some profound revelation about your penis, then go lecture about it to befuddled 20 somethings. Set Philosophy back 100 years.

        Plato killed philosophy when he created the academia, which just created some huge larpers, and philosophy was buried when the bourgeois revived it and meme the peasants into higher education. The net result is that now the bourgeois academia is full of humanists who just push for humanism.

      Of course it is oppressive. Any structured environment is inherently oppressive on some level. If you don't like it go live in a forest, or just learn to deal with it, manchild.

            You also have to remember that at that time the French were absolutely fricking clueless about what was going on in America. The obvious joke of the image is that Foucault was dumb because he was ignoring the massive panic over AIDs at the time, but again, the French actually didn't know. Foucault getting told that GRID even existed meant that he was one of the very few Frenchmen who'd even heard of this, and it was coming into France alongside dumb shit like "genital mutilation reduces masturbation rates among boys t. rabbi".

            HIV was first isolated in a lab in 1981. Gaetan Dugas (pronounced "gay-ton do-guys") began working for Air Canada in 1974. The quotation is from 1981. Foucault died of HIV in 1984. Foucault was also French and France was comically isolated from the Anglosphere at the time (remember that most of how France perceived the US at the time came from Franz fanon's cuckold erotica). Secondly, no, it was not rampant in the gay community at the time, it wouldn't take off in the US until around the same time that Foucault died. In fact, Foucault's death is what lead to it receiving attention in continental Europe because it came completely out of the blue.

            So, what you're actually asking me is if I expect you to believe that a Frenchmen would be aware of a completely new disease that was barely understood on the other side of the planet. That is true, because it is true.

            Just because it wasn't officially identified by science until the early 80s doesn't mean the gays didn't know abou it. By 1981 everyone in the gay community knew the bug was running rampant. They already had experience with outbreaks of gonorrhea warts and herpes so they knew something was up when their fellow queers started getting constantly sick and wasting away. Like the other quotes prove his friends already warned him about the bug but he didn't care as long as he got stretched out and topped.

            This is technically incorrect. In 1981 it was isolated, but it was referred to as GRID (Gay-Related Immuno-Deficiency disease), and the discovery of a singular virus (there's actually two related viruses that cause HIV but that's semantics) was being suppressed by the media in all around the world. "Gay Rights" was a huge ideological win for Liberalism and Progressivism, so it was seen as anathema to suggest that a fricking virus could get in the way of the grand religious crusade. GRID was popularly assumed to be caused by drugs and exhaustion. The Left's answer to this was, of course, to provide government funded snackbars to gay sex clubs to keep people's stamina up.

            This was accepted by the Moral Majority of the time who, similarly, rejected the idea of a virus causing the disease in favor of the view that it was a miracle sent by Yahweh to purge the sinful (the biological origination of the disease would thus have been materialistic and not an actual miracle).

            The article from '82 made mention of a sample of female and heterosexual male patients that were also known IV drug users, but yes, the emphasis is on homosexuality males
            I would still like to see information from the time period that suggests widespread belief in "drugs and exhaustion" being the primary cause as that anon averred as well as information on early government funded preventative measures as he had mentioned

            . We spent a lot of time tracking down amyl nitrite. I sent Carlos Rendon, my epidemiology assistant, into the Jaguar Bookstore or the Ambush, and I think even the Mine Shaft, to buy amyl nitrite "poppers" that the gays were using to give themselves a sexual rush. He brought them back to us and we sent them down to CDC in Atlanta, and they analyzed them. They came up with amyl nitrite as the active ingredient.

            Well, if AIDS is an infectious disease and amyl nitrite is a toxin, it wouldn't cause the infection, but could it be a cofactor, or could it be activating an infectious agent? So we spent time investigating amyl nitrite. Finally, two years later when the CDC's computer analysis reporter came out, it said, "Forget it, it's not amyl nitrite." But we had lost time and effort looking at that possibility.

            I think mainly the increasing numbers. And the ignorance that we had as to the etiology. We weren't sure if it was a toxin, whether it was bacterial, what it was. We had a sense about mode of spread. Everyone was talking about poppers. Especially related to KS [Kaposi's sarcoma]. There was every kind of conspiracy theory.

            It doesn't seem as if the nitrates were taken as anything more than one possibility among many with what ive read so far. I even saw one idea that suggested semen being introduced to the bloodstream as a possible cause

    Discipline and Punish
    Lectures
    History of sexuality

    You don’t need to read the rest unless you are researching or if you love his works.

    Is that Michel Foucault? That homie has been on my mind. No cap, I been thinking about that time when I barebacked him raw in a Paris VIII WC. That shit had to be the tightest, Frenchest, wettest boy pussy I've ever laid pipe into. I swear to God, the most heavenly high is gargling that wonderboy's nuts while going fist deep into his shitter. I had Foucault screaming in the sheets with head too ridiculous to ignore. That homie frotted my wiener until he busted on my mouth, I had to return the favor. That homie Foucault and I been fricking non-stop ever since, but keep that shit on the DL. He does that shit for free. If you're gonna ask me how to "long" Foucault, I'll be deadass. All you gotta do is ask, be straight up, and get physical real quick. Touch his nuts, get on ya knees, talk your shit. He doesn't play around with no pansy-ass homies either. He likes his men manly, and his dick thick. Dark skin, 6'5 is the minimum and I ain't talking about height boy.

    For a real answer:
    Start with "Panopticism" from Discipline and Punish, then "We Other Victorians" (the first chapter of History of Sexuality) and last "What is an Author?". That'd give you a good intro into his major concepts. From there depends on what aspect of Foucault you like if any.

      Nietzsche did want sexual liberation

      • 2 years ago
        Anonymous

        He considered christian commandments of chastity to be a cope used by people who would be too "degenerate" (in his own words) otherwise to have control over themselves and indulge in moderation. This is NOT a statement that would defend current-day style sexual libertinism, and if i am somehow wrong about this and he said something else elsewhere, feel free to quote him on that. (and i doubt you can--hedonism is quite precisely what he describes as The Last Man)

        Twilight of the Idols, Essay 4, Aphorism 2.
        >The same means, castration and extirpation, are instinctively chosen for waging war against a passion, by those who are too weak of will, too degenerate, to impose some sort of moderation upon it; by those natures who, to speak in metaphor (—and without metaphor), need la Trappe, or some kind of ultimatum of war, a gulf set between themselves and a passion. Only degenerates find radical methods indispensable: weakness of will, or more strictly speaking, the inability not to react to a stimulus, is in itself simply another form of degeneracy.
