Some posts ago I commented in reply to Terence Blake [here] about how any epistemology of experience, specially when it aims to reach a broader level of knowledge that is out of our comprehension ―but that would be referred empirically to life and its event―, can only be necessarily erratic in its terms, though its orientation to an open understanding of the world, would still be correct. I bring this here because I want to introduce in which sense sometimes this active and ‘more correct’ orientation towards life can lead its erratic terms into a joyful affect, far from any apparent reason, and pointing out to its affirmation. While this erraticness of the terms is something that I have understood since a time ago ―ie, by following Gregory Bateson’s ideas on deutero-learning―, it came to my mind again last year precisely when I was composing part of the content of the ‘deleuze-lulz’ response that I wrote as a collaboration for the ‘Deleuze and The Lulz’ journal [here]. As I have referred in my previous post [here], such collaboration is actually a simulated Letter to a harsh Zizek from Deleuze himself, who convinced me to dispose myself to be taken from behind by him ―or better to say by his own doubled ‘Gilulz Delulz’ ―, so to make me write down what he wanted to speak in his own defense. But this is indeed the erraticness of the terms that I want to bring here with respect to my collaboration for the ‘Deleuze and The Lulz’ journal: for instance, the affectiveness of giving voice to Deleuze: to pump him a bit of life with the love I received of his work ―as an actual dead friend of mine―, so to let him find the chance to respond in favor of life and its affirmation, against Zizek’s negativity, all through my own intensive reading of his work. In fact, the whole affective issue of Deleuze’s philosophical buggery, ie, the whole issue of what motivated him to declare in terms of buggery [here] the way he coped with the constrictions that the history of philosophy imposed him as a philosopher, cannot be but part of this erraticness of terms that are oriented to life and its affirmation.
