As we continue the discussion of the Prehistory of Accelerationism, we now begin the long-awaited group reading of Deleuze's classic Difference and Repetition. However, before beginning a detailed analysis of the text itself we have to pause and get a general idea of the main themes of the whole book. In this video we discuss the two main principles of the book (Connect with Everything and Forget Everything) and how they relate to the themes of intensities, ideas, repetitions, syntheses, and virtual differences.
