It’s not enough that they moved us to Organisational Management – they have to rub our faces in it. The forced marriage of Organisational Management and philosophy isn’t sufficient a humiliation; we have celebrate the marriage; we have to pretend the marriage is a good thing.
As if it wasn’t enough of an outrage to plan to move philosophy to Organisational Management! The fact that such decisions could be taken – and without consultation. That such things could be forced. In spite of all common sense! In spite of all precedent! No: they want more. They want to see us squirm.
But why? This can’t be simple vindictiveness, can it? There must be a deeper motivation. Someone, somewhere, believes they’re doing good by this move. They believe they’re doing the right thing. That’s what’s frightening. The delusion! The moralism! That’s what you have to be afraid of.
It’s a logic – the same logic as everywhere. Productivity. Efficiency. Easier management. Rationalisation.
But moving Philosophy to Organisational Management!? That’s not about rationalisation.
It’s some misplaced idea of developing synergies. Of bringing together disparate subject areas. Of, like, interdisciplinarity or multidisciplinarity or whatever … They wanted to effect the becoming Organisational Management of philosophy! The becoming philosophy of Organisational Management!
And now we’re supposed to celebrate the absurdity. Now we’re supposed to sup with the enemy …
I’m not eating anything in front of them. I’m not filling my plate in front of these losers. I’m not going to chat. I’m not going to make small talk. I’m not going to shoot the breeze with those fuckers …
God, if only we had a bomb! Or flamethrowers! If only we were armed! A suicidal last stand! Armed resistance!
Why do you always have to go from 0 to 60 with your lunacy?
