Thanks to our new participants and and those we hadn’t seen in a while for joining us last night — hope you will all make a habit of it!

We really liked James P. Carse’s book Finite and Infinite Games (see below), so in two weeks we’re going to pick back up with that, but next time we’ll revisit an old classic: On the Poverty of Student Life, the text which essentially took the Situationist International from an obscure groupuscule mired in the ashes of the Lettrist avant garde to an organization that would become synonymous with the uprisings of May 1968 and leave indelible marks in the annals of art, revolt, and criticism.

One of our participants will be providing a little historical context and background to the SI for those of us who haven’t encountered them before. If your hunger is still not glutted, you might read Bob Black’s essay on the SI.

Next week we’ll take a look at Chapter 1 of James P. Carse’s Finite and Infinite Games. Hope you’ll join us via Jitsi Meet (http://meet.jit.si or on your app store) — room name is “bastardanarchy”. As usual, we’ll get started around 7pm on Tuesday. See you then!

It’s going to be hard to top last week’s reading, but I’m optimistic! This week we’ll read a short essay on the 3rd/4th century egoist thinker Yang Chu. Thanks to John and Jason for hooking up the PDF.  You can also read this introduction on him if yer hankerin fer more!

Just a reminder, we are experimenting with using Jitsi Meet (https://meet.jit.si or download on your app store) to open the study group up to all who can’t attend bc of the pandemic. The room name is “bastardanarchy” and we get started at 7:00 or shortly thereafter every Tuesday night. Drop in and join our conversation if you like!

We’re having some trouble finding the Yang Zhu stuff, so instead we’ll look at the Lang Gore piece from Modern Slavery that also came up last time. PDF is HERE.

and as a bonus, here’s a PDF of some flyers and posters by Anti Authoritarians Anonymous (Dan Todd & John Zerzan)… enjoy!

If you happen to find this page first, instead check out our our established website, which is issue-prone. At the moment, the usual site seems to be up and running, but in the event it goes down temporarily or for good, the readings will be posted here instead. And that right there is what you call a CONTINGENCY PLAN.
