The Process of Recording and Consumption
• The process of recording and consumption is akin to the production of production, with the production of recording itself being produced by the production of production.
• The subject, a subject without a fixed identity, is peripheral to the desiring-machines, defined by the share of the product it takes for itself.
• The subject experiences a reward in the form of a becoming or an avatar, being born of the states it consumes and being reborn with each new state.
• The energy of production is transformed into energy of recording, which is transformed into energy of consummation.
• This residual energy is the motive force behind the third synthesis of the unconscious: the conjunctive synthesis or the production of consumption.
• The opposition between desiring-machines and the body without organs is examined, with the repulsion of these machines giving way to an attraction in the miraculating machine.
• The reconciliation of the two can only occur on the level of a new machine, functioning as "the return of the repressed."
• The term "celibate machine" is used to describe this machine, which succeeds the paranoiac machine and the miraculating machine, forming a new alliance between the desiring-machines and the body without organs.
• The celibate machine reveals the existence of an older paranoiac machine, but it is different from it, manifesting something new and different, a solar force.
• The transformation cannot be explained by the "miraculating" powers the machine possesses due to the inscription hidden inside it.
The Schizoid Experience and the Role of Intensive Quantities
The Autoerotic Experience
• The schizophrenic experience of intensive quantities is a nuptial celebration of a new alliance, birth, and ecstasy.
• These intense quantities are often described as hallucinations and delirium, but they are secondary to the primary emotion, which only experiences intensities, becomings, and transitions.
The Role of Attraction and Repulsion
• The opposition of the forces of attraction and repulsion produces an open series of intensive elements, all of which are positive.
• These intensities are never an expression of the final equilibrium of a system, but consist of an unlimited number of stationary, metastable states through which a subject passes.
The Schizoid's Doctrine
• The schizoid is deeply influenced by the Kantian theory, which fills up matter that has no empty spaces to varying degrees.
• The schizoid's experience is emotionally overwhelming, bringing the schizo as close as possible to matter, to a burning, living center of matter.
The Concept of the Schizo
• The schizo is often conceived as an autistic rag, separated from the real and cut off from life.
• Psychoanalysis reduces a person to a pitiful creature who eternally consumes daddy-and-mommy and nothing else whatsoever.
• The consumption of pure intensities has very little to do with family figures and how very different they are from the conjunctive synthesis of "So that's what it was!" and "So it's me!".
The Concept of the Desiring-Machines in Nietzsche's Philosophy
• The concept of the Desiring-Machines is traced through the points of disjunction on the body without organs, forming circles that converge on the desiring-machines.
• The subject, produced as a residuum alongside the machine, passes through all degrees of the circle and passes from one circle to another.
• The subject is not at the center, which is occupied by the machine, but on the periphery, defined by the states through which it passes.
• The subject is born of each state in the series, continually reborn of the following state that determines him at a given moment.
• Klossowski's commentary on Nietzsche highlights the presence of the Stimmung as a material emotion, constitutive of the most lofty thought and the most acute perception.
• The forces of attraction and repulsion produce a series of intensive states based on the intensity = 0, which designates the body without organs.
• The Nietzschean subject passes through a series of states and identifies these states with the names of history.
• The subject spreads itself along the entire circumference of the circle, the center of which has been abandoned by the ego.
• Nietzsche-as-subject garners euphoric reward from everything that the machine turns out, a product that the reader had thought was no more than the fragmented oeuvre by Nietzsche.
• Nietzsche's vision of the world does not inaugurate a regular succession of landscapes or still lifes, but a parody of the process of recollection of an event.
