It is worrying to have the thought that history is record of reversion to physical reactions that achieve a salience of specific power relations closed to dependency on general conditions. That, in sum, there's more yet to The Myth of Metals.
Extending this to an unconscious systematizing, a quite independent mimicry that holds power up by social practices, meaning the power of the somatic is not so ridiculous.
Though I only the latter matrices in mind originally, that it had (all that poetic proto science of alchemy) arrived by culture absorbing other unexplained near everyday - naturally metal and ceramic craftspersons would note as much as horticulturing and brewers including apothecary herbalists. No doubt things would be put down to astrological influences etc.
So we have a somewhat mindfucking notion of the phracking of power.
Even if it were the basic biopower my argument is that it has to supplemented by practices, to conserve the substrates, maintain the vectors. So the only difference it makes - except, the example, to gold markets - in this moment is that it is too mindfucky. The solemn admission of our vulnerability to biological events and psychological frames was much easier.
Except I can't unsee what was before the mere haphazard strategies and tactics of wealth accumulators. Today I learnt of the railroad builders, the stock market dependent, buying the rights to canal sections and constructing weirs simply to stop the access by barges, in Britain. And I think that's the kind of thing, the land inherited by descendents, the filling of the House Of Lords even now, that matters. Matter, the Chaterlier Principle, is not a top down particular determinant, as if some extradimensional power. Though it is, I would go as far as to say, rigged into that position. All that is gold is not only glittering?
