Todd May: creative possibilites in a Deleuzian framework

· by · in Uncategorized. ·

Gilles Deleuze’s philosophy of life is characterized by the commitment to there always being more than meets the eye. Whatever there is in the actual world contains a virtuality that can always express itself, and often does. In fact, for Deleuze the actual is only an expressive moment of the virtual.
This leads us to several ideas that we will discuss: First, representation is inferior to creation, since representation only captures the actual and does not touch upon the virtual.
Second, creation itself must be an experimentation. Since we do not know the virtual, we can only experiment with the possibilities it offers.
Finally, since the virtual is of this world, and not of another, life (and philosophy) must be lived imminently. Our lives are not matters of judgment from theology or morality, but instead of discovery of what and who we can be in this world.

    Attacking RedHack is attacking the freedom of information, the press freedom and the freedom of expression!
    


    The Turkish government afraid form Internet. And how scared! Turkish left-wing hacker group RedHack caused a heart attack inside the Turkish Government. They did it in seizing a very small part of huge secrets of Turkish police and publishing it. They infiltrated to the Ankara police systems, captured some information and published them online. Everyone saw how dirty is police relations, how police produce evidences using illegal means, how deep is the informant culture created by state coups.

    Turkish government admitted its discomfort by confessing that “the image of the state is hacked” and begun to hunt down RedHack with almost all its institutions. But, unable to seize the group, they arrested innocent people who only shared related information on social media, to instill terror in the hearts of the people. There are seven of these people remain in detention. RedHack, declaring, “you arrested the wrong people, we are here,” continue to operate and took down hundreds of police web sites. But that innocent people are still detained.

    The government who RedHack as a “terrorist organization”, keyboards and screens as “weapon”, PlayStation CD’s as “evidence,” in violation of law, bound RedHack case to the specially authorized prosecutors. Their next move will be probably asking help form Interpol, even from CIA! The government is helpless. The government is afraid. The government is scared to death from knowledge! 


    In regarding to the press freedom violations and the number of detained journalist, Turkey has the worst record of the world. The government tries to destroy the books before their publication, arrest journalists and frighten them. Because the government afraid of knowledge.

    When they silenced the press, the information begun to flow on the Internet, on the social media. The Turkish government does its best to oppress the Internet, censor it and silence the people who use their freedom of expression on the Net. For example, the government blocked access to several web sites operated by RedHack without giving any legal justification. Internet censorship in Turkey has one of the world’s worst registries. Because the government afraid of knowledge flows freely. But the Internet is not easy to suppress. Remember that.

    Turkish government’s attacks against RedHack who is exposing its dirty secrets are the same as its attacks against the press freedom, the freedom of expression and the right to information. These attacks are against the freedom of information and they are illegitimate.

    Anonymous supports RedHack who is supporting the freedom of information of Turkish people.

    We demand the cessation of these illegitimate attacks against RedHack.
We demand the immediate release of innocent people have nothing to do with RedHack. We demand the cessation of this fear operation.

    Anonymous will support RedHack and everyone in Turkey working to tear down the barriers to information until the end.

    This support, we will show in every way we possess.

    We are Anonymous.

    We are Legion.

    We do not forgive.

    We do not forget.

    Expect us.
