Twice we have been wrapped up in some kind of national drama and a catastrophe has come in from out of our collective blind spot, swept away the import of the previous discourse, and laid bare a "true" problem.  In the case of the 2012 election, Superstorm Sandy displaced the petty bickering between the two candidates, illustrating that the ongoing cataclysmic global warming is more important than any domestic squabbles.  Secondly, all the b.s. around the "fiscal cliff" (December 2012) was pushed into the background by the Newtown elementary school shooting, demonstrating the need for adequate gun control laws in the U.S.

You Don’t Know Jack: Kerouac Biographer Joyce Johnson and ‘The Voice Is All’ - The Daily Beast:

Finally, after years of suppressing his French-Canadian lineage in his writing, Kerouac experimented with writing openly about his Franco-American heritage in the blunt, plainspoken joual of his youth. This experiment in his native language, which occurred shortly before he sat down to write On the Road,gave his writing a certain intimacy. “It was a very direct first-person voice,” said Johnson, “frank and open—not the self-conscious literary voice he was using before. It was a voice that would lure an ardent legion of Kerouac disciples for decades to come, with unremitting lines that build momentum like freight trains:

"Of this image of time, Deleuze retains (in L'image-temps) the continuity of "sheets of past" with the "peaks [pointes] of present," implying the cone is a vortical continuum; each sheet is a disk but also a winding stair continuing up and around in the "next" one, according to the Bergsonian formula of the flux, "interpenetration without succession."

Peter Canning, from Gilles Deleuze and the Theater of Philosophy, p.80.

"What demons do is jump across intervals, and from one interval to another." (Dialogues, p. 40)

May '68

"What counts is what amounted to a visionary phenomenon, as if society suddenly saw what was intolerable in it and also saw the possibility for something else."

Two Regimes of Madness, p. 233-234.

"Intensity is itself differential, by itself a difference."

DR, p. 222.

"The Interval is Substance"

ATP, p.478.

"The collective assemblage is always like a murmur [rumeur] from which I take my proper name, the constellation of voices, concordant or not, from which I draw my voice."

ATP, p.84.

"It is almost as if every expressing subject contained others, each of which speaks a diverse language, the one in the other."

Deleuze, Two Regimes of Madness, p.371.

"The only way the one belongs to the multiple: always subtracted."

ATP, p.7.

"Language stabilizes around a parish, a bishopric, a capital."

ATP, p.7.

"What is at the bottom of the psyche but a load of cat cough-ups?"

This is a table, this is an apple, this is a piece of wax...

From DR, 35.

Food Palate Map

I think the palate is perfect example of an intensive surface.  The palate is composed of five main assemblages (sweet, salty, sour, bitter, umami).  All food is but a combination of these five attributes in the same way that a sound is a combination of frequencies.  The palate has sensitivities to certain tastes and sends this information up to the brain where it is translated emotionally (e.g. "Mmm, this pretzel is good and salty" or "This coffee is impotably bitter.").

One could write an essay on the stylistic consistency of the sounds that DJ Premier digs for samples and loops.  On one hand, it seems impossible that one might find a sample in a song such as the following, but once you hear the movement in the samples that he is going for (another example would be Above the Clouds), the sounds achieve consistency in the Deleuzian sense:

Humility

"The earth trembles and quakes with laughter at the arrogance of a ground that, in the span of an instant, can suffer obliteration."

Flaxman (2012), p.152.

"Just as i learn to like ___, it seems that I can never reach ___.  There is the wall far above, the horizonless sky extends deeply and incongruently across my soul."

Eris

"We are reminded of the grand finale of the Sophist: difference is displaced, division turns back on itself and begins to function in reverse."

Difference and Repetition, p. 68.

Les Mots et Les Choses

"For, the panic subsiding more and more every day, it will daily be seen how it originated; confidence will be more than restored; there will be a reaction; from the stock's descent its rise will be higher than from no fall, the holders trusting themselves to fear no second fate."

Herman Melville, The Confidence Man, p.27.

"The eternal return transmutes the negative: it turns the heavy into something light, it makes the negative cross over into affirmation, it makes negation a power of affirming."

Nietzsche and Philosophy, p. 81.
