"Being is the absence that appearances conceal."

Bataille; Guilty, p.84 (via meta-mash)

Damn, this is Object-Oriented as hell. Hella Object-Orientated.

I really need to stop being so focused on SR and OOO, but whatever. Maybe I’ll do that by trying to read Bataille. There was a paper about him at that conference I went to, and I’ve been interested ever since.

Corporations Are People Too: A Case for Object-Oriented Ecology

This is a really interesting (ecological) interpretation of corporate personhood. Instead of simply decrying the extension of personhood to non-human corporations, the post seems to see a legal/conceptual opportunity of taking similar ‘leftist’ steps in such a direction - i.e. that the space opened up by giving legal personhood to corporations creates the opportunity for such personhood concepts to be extended to things like the evironment, generally.
