Overview
[...]when I was listening to you, I was seeing how you read the progression of the essay, and I think that my obsession is to avoid double trouble, double problems. Specifically, with respect to the oil as the dead sun (and I appreciate the Bataille element of this, of course I'm fascinated by your whole discussion of it), but Negarestani leans very heavily on the biophysicist Thomas Gold, who in fact makes an argument that it's not a dead sun that is producing the oil, it's an anti sun, it's a form of biochemical, deep biosphere that is a form of life that specifically is not photosynthetic. The dead and the dead sun. Because I wanted to give a certain kind of voice to the ghost, maybe I keep it too quickly, and so maybe.the dead sun, the anti sun, yeah. What I try to say, and try to jump from one idea to another, is that we have to be a little bit biocentric, and we have to be able to take care of the sun before being able maybe to be even more cosmological.
