This weblog now exists for no other aim than for me to aggregate & rank weblogs I formerly tended toward as part of my cautiously immersive inquiry into how weblog writing & new media generally function as sites of parliamentarian debate or epistolary disputation over theoretical conflicts within various regimes, continuous or disjunct—ontology, science, aesthetics, & politics.

If I believed myself prepared to offer my own supplement through commentary & critique, I would, but my archival dexterity is too partial, disorganized, & so inconsistently ready-to-hand for me to feel confident about regularly generating theoretical commentary (all commentary, whether it wants to admit so or not, is theoretical, is laden with ideological assumptions (unless it demonstrate some knockdown argument espousing a realist account of everything)), & though I don’t believe it’s impossible I might nevertheless add value to the web-logged intermixtures of political journalism, aesthetic criticism, & theoretical commentary I’ve sometimes found interesting—often, admittedly, by working anachronistically, by aiming to become contemporaneous with the present, thinking the present of the present, without as much historicist training traditionally deemed proper—it’s unlikely I will without also constructing for myself a reputation as a fickle upstart, a young pseudo-intellectual with a ‘fuck you’ attitude.

Though I think there remains some value in simply distributing & consuming (web-logged) information transparently without producing much & having erased the mediocre contents I previously proposed, I do offer my ineffectual apologies to conservatives, liberals, moderates, reformers, revolutionary reformers, & revolutionaries, all of you. (Of course, I remaindisappointed with us all.)
