Anchor quotes for the opening weeks
“I talk about the gods, I am an atheist. But I am an artist too, and therefore a liar. Distrust everything I say. I am telling the truth.”
"Better I get stuck anywhere than rotting here!"
“Caught in the vortex of desire, we have to struggle to recall the wholeness of persons, including ourselves.”
"By the late twentieth century our time, a mythic time, we are all chimeras, theorized and fabricated hybrids of machine and organism; in short, we are cyborgs. The cyborg is our ontology; it gives us our politics.”
"You go anywhere, appear anytime, devour anything; you engineer life and then guzzle it, and you enjoy that. "
Hi Drew, I like the quote you chose for week 4 regarding cyborgs. In a way I can connect it to Sanders from the previous week where he discusses temptation, desire, and having our minds be inevitably altered. I think the idea of us being cyborgs highlights the contrast of what it means to be human before the conditioning and corruption of society and how we have to live with those two versions of ourselves. Especially after the readings from this week, it makes me think about the idea of becoming one and not being able to have the good without the bad.
