It would be great to hear more of your thoughts about the relationship between those ideas and autotheory itself as a system of containment/control.

In my experience, when psychiatry/psychology there seems to be a somewhat dismissive action in naming it and writing it in this way such as "magical thinking." For example, I imagine they might focus in helping someone recover, on almost forcing them to understand that what they are attributing to food are "imaginary" traits. Perhaps she does admit this in the larger context, but from what was in the presentation, comparing herself to Alice, seemed to take it and make it true and something that she has to be aware of and will always have to work with, thus challenging the idea of it not being a "real" thing.

I find that this is often related to my existence as a Black person. So it is interesting to hear people talking about the idea of personal experience and how to navigate it as you try to truthfully put it out into the world.

A celebration of auto theory rather than a claim to its understanding while being deeply critical and subversive. Loved it.]]> 2022-10-26 13:37:30 UTC https://padlet.com/autotheoryconference/3xmvrysiacyyn995/wish/2357290976 https://padlet.com/autotheoryconference/3xmvrysiacyyn995/wish/2357307727 This panel felt like a call to arms for all of us to consider our thoughts and feelings, in whatever capacity we choose to process and express them, as valid sites of knowledge production, and our work, whatever it may be, as inherently and indisputably enough. Throwing our collective spanner that is autotheory into the machine feels like a wonderful metaphor for all that was discussed.]]> 2022-10-26 13:45:00 UTC https://padlet.com/autotheoryconference/3xmvrysiacyyn995/wish/2357307727 https://padlet.com/autotheoryconference/3xmvrysiacyyn995/wish/2357311456 Thank you! After asking my question, I understood the "equipmentality" a lot more as I think I was originally a bit confused by terminology since I'm not at all familiar with any of it.

Now, I am thinking about our existences as doing as how we are tooling the world and how we face and navigate the tooling that the world is doing to use. I am especially interested in that navigation. How we receive the tooling that the world is attempting. How much can we control or influence or resist or accept the results of the tooling for ourselves. And the reverse as well. How the world experiences our tooling upon it. My biggest consideration right in this moment is how and should we even try to parse the basically infinite amounts of simultaneous tooling going back and forth.

I almost never want to think about this again because I can feel myself about to self-destruct.

If anyone wants to drop a line somehow with how you manage to not self-destruct while engaging with these ideas. Please do.   I personally have only ever found any help in purposefully removing myself to a space where I disengage with my own body and this world to imagine a world where this current version of existing and tooling would never even occur.
