it's one of the most honest admissions by any philosopher ever. the original french is 'Bien éloigné de vous donner une solution, j'indiquerai seulement quelques-unes des difficultés qu'il présente' from one of his speeches about the meaning of the term 'author.' when he wasn't raping algerian kids, he made some insights.

Date: June 4th, 2026 9:04 PM Author: ,.,..,.,..,.,.,.,..,.,.,,..,..,.,,..,.,,. the sense i got from his stuff is that he considered people to be easily-propagandized retards, and therefore governments and other systems of power would inevitably end up developing cold but rational methods of propagandizing and managing those retards.
there is no 'solution' to this; it's just the inevitable operation of an 'information society.' it can't be otherwise. |

Date: June 4th, 2026 9:24 PM Author: zarathustra the two categories of thinking "intellectuals" typically land on when confronting such issues are either "this sucks and is a huge problem because there is something good in civilization and mankind, that we have to distill and commit to defending against this problem" or "this sucks but i am right"
if u can't listen to beethoven or learn isaac newton's calculus without feeling that it's not right simply to root around in ideas about the insolubility of the shittines of civilization then u're just being indulgent at best, more likely resentful of those better or whiter than u
while we were putting men on the moon foucault was bitching about civilization keeping ugly & violent criminals in prison |

western academia celebrated him while suppressing some of his hot takes, such as both sides being shitty and oppressive in the vietnam war. and without a lot of preening; his whole approach was that the structural mechanics of both states made such an outcome inevitable. he was a precursor to more modern foreign policy realism, 'seeing like a state'-kind of arguments, etc.
foucault saw the space race as an obvious extension of the panopticon, and predicted that orbital launch capacity would be used first and foremost to launch spy satellites and military navigation/communications, which was more or less true.
