Topologos Lutecium Conversation #06 Is Covid-19 or a huge crisis incubating?

A conversation with John Gasperoni at the time of Covid-19. Will there be an evolution of capitalism at a future time?
Topologos Lutecium Conversation #05 Is there something incubating? Remedies
First Source on Lutecium
On YouTube
A new conversation with John Sheridan, leftist artist/activist. After disputing about the problematics induced by capitalism in France and the USA, and its incompatibility with human welfare, we come to the second one in which we will try to transmit the rough sketches of our understanding of the solutions French and US activists have invented so far to solve this major problem. In France I am pretty sure it will come from the Yellow Vests movement.

#40 Chaos and Rule 30
Following a presentation to La Lysimaque I develop the concepts of chaos and in particular Rule 30 describing what characterizes dynamical systems when being chaotic.
I was not certain that this session of the workshop has little to do with the psychoanalytic clinic, but to our surprise, connections occurred.

A conversation with John Sheridan left artist/activist about the problematics induced by capitalism in France and the USA, and its incompatibility with human welfare. This is the first of a series of two. The second one will try to transmit the rough sketches of our understanding of the solutions French and US activists have invented so far to solve this major problem. In France I am pretty sure it will come from the Yellow Vests movement.

#39 The formulas of sexuation #02
Back to the formulas of sexuation. Many issues needed clarification. That's what we tried to do.

A general equation for all links and knots
This disputation follows, and amplifies , the intervention of Michel Thomé at the last Saturday of Lysimaque.
We return to the definitions and characteristics of links and knots.
Then Michel Thomé describes the equation he produced, for writing each knot and link. And from this equation we can write the equation of the next link and of the previous one. It seems that this is a general equation for encoding all of the possible links.

Videos of Topologos-Lutecium Disputations
We produce recordings of meetings between two or three people who “dispute” about an object.
Word Disputation does not exist in French but is found in Latin and English.
“Disputatio” in Latin, definition in Gaffiot dictionary:
Action to examine an issue in its different points, weighing the pros and cons, discussion, dissertation; computation.
“Disputation” in English; definition of “The American Heritage Dictionary“:
The act of disputing; debate. An academic exercise consisting of a formal debate or an oral defense of a thesis.

#38 The formulas of sexuation
What differentiates the male and the female part? Why Lacan says that there is no sexual report/relationship? And that THE woman does not exist? We try to explain these provocative assertions. They are less so when one considers that “man” and “women” are only meaningful.
Also it teaches us that the Other is nothing else that the other sex.
