Notes
The hosts believe that the primary driving force of psychoanalysisis [[file:../20210509131706-drive_theory.org][drive theory]], which they believe Deleuzeactively opposes.
Descartesstarted the trend that philosophyand scienceshould be about avoiding error, though Deleuzebelieved the problem was banality. (?) Deleuze thought that this manner of thinking limited freedom, e.g. put boundaries on what could be thought. Even though the theory of relativitymay be literally correct, proposing ideas that contradicted it could be seen as a limitation on freedom1
Deleuzeis working against Hegel who didn't necessarily believe in error-free thinking.
Deleuzewants a "beyond without contradiction."
Spinozabelieved that God's prohibitions were prohibitions of things that are bad for us, so there's no evil, just bad.

1A potential problem with this line of thinking is the actual, real world problems that free thought in this case has. One example would be with COVID-19denialism and vaccine skepticism.
