These are notes (and subsequent links) I wrote while listening to Steve McCaffrey talk loosely around the topic of a multitude of topics. (Lacan was an entry point at some point) He’s a very interesting, including bloke. Initially I struggled to understand much of what he was talking about, hence there are a few pointers on how I might improve my bathroom cleaning, but eventually I settled and simmered with him and the conversation. Mainly I just grabbed words out of the air that were floating past me. Some of the names I am not familiar with hence dubiousmos spelling. This is an attempt to document what exists in auditory, no context acquisition, and what the precise words really are and relate to. Sort of like listening to any foreign language. Amendments will be added in another colour.<\/p>\n
