Artaud's Body Without Organs: The Rhizome & the Occult War on the Self

Описание: This week on *Strange Attractors**, we are recovering from sickness, autistic burnout, and the general stress of the holiday season. But through the brain fog, we dive deep into the origins of **Schizoanalysis* and the radical philosophy of the forgotten surrealist, Antonin Artaud.

We explore the true meaning of the "Body Without Organs"—not as a physical emptiness, but as a rebellion against the "Protestant Body" that capitalism demands we inhabit. We discuss how Western medicine pathologizes the soul's refusal to be productive, viewing spiritual "healing crises" as inconvenient sicknesses rather than necessary transformations.

This episode tears down the "colonial sensorium" (where vision is just surveillance and hearing is for commands) and contrasts the embodied, tortured authenticity of Artaud against the "corporate occultism" of figures like Aleister Crowley.

Finally, we turn to the Oracle for a reading on **Community**. We connect the nature of trees and roots to the philosophical concept of the **Rhizome**—finding hope in the underground, interconnected networks that sustain us when the surface world falls apart.
