Let's Make It Worse Quicker - A Box Of Chocolates
"Let's Make It Worse Quicker - A Box Of Chocolates" develops the cyberfeminist line by tying gender, media systems, writing, and synthetic culture into one technical field.
Archive condition
The page uses the canonical extracted text as its reading layer while preserving the original file paths as the archival source of record.
Core idea
The page matters because cyberfeminism here is not an add-on to the archive's better-known themes. It is one of the places where circuitry, writing, labor, and gender are made to reorganize what counts as a subject or a system.
These texts work by making cultural criticism, theory, and technical description contaminate each other. The result is a model of subjectivity produced through networks, codes, and infrastructural mediation rather than grounded in stable identity.
That matters because the archive's human/machine problem changes once it is read through Plant, Parisi, and later xenofeminist debate. The future stops looking like a neutral technical horizon and becomes a struggle over who or what gets composed by it.
How to read this text
Read for where writing, labor, media, or embodiment are described as technical arrangements rather than background topics. That is where the page usually sharpens.
Keep an eye on how the page positions itself against humanist or moralizing accounts of technology. The section's strongest interventions are usually anti-essentialist and infrastructural at once.

I’m not going to develop a Messiah complex or an overdeveloped sense of responsibility, but it seems nevertheless to me that had I been able to extend my thought in greater depth, maybe I could’ve contributed to some kind of countercurrent.

A BOX OF CHOCOLATES Let’s Make It Worse Quicker? Posted on 27/12/2019 by zerothly Back in the day, although I’m not sure which day it was exactly but certainly by the 1980s, certain revolutionary socialists advocated voting Conservative “to frustrate the working class into revolution”.
Afterlife · paragraph 4
I did study philosophy in order to make a difference. There was a gap year before this which I spent trying to decide whether to do postgrad but my partner at the time had too much influence on what I chose to do specifically.
