— AIME (@AIMEproject) 1 Novembre 2014[REL] beings have an objectivity that beats any other mode since it requires to convert those addressed by them hence their apocalyptic tone
— AIME (@AIMEproject) 25 Octobre 2014Apocalyptic means revelation not Hollywood special effects, no other mode than [REL] is more solidly objective than them in their own terms.
— AIME (@AIMEproject) 25 Octobre 2014That's why agency captures the actions of [REP] as well as [REF], lends itself so well to storytelling but may also register [REL] vibration
— AIME (@AIMEproject) 25 Octobre 2014A stunning example of vibrating agency is given by Ian Zalasiewicz The Planet in a Pebble, Ian is the head of the anthropocene committee.

— AIME (@AIMEproject) 25 Octobre 2014Discussion on [REL] refers to important points made by Phil Conway: of course each mode produces its own sociality http://t.co/P5zUVhvQbt
— AIME (@AIMEproject) 25 Octobre 2014[REL] detection is not all made in churches: whenever [REL] beings travels they form a specific type of sociality out of religions per se.
— AIME (@AIMEproject) 25 Octobre 2014If society is not a mode in AIME it's because every mode traces its own connectedness: law, science, fiction, religion generates the social.
— AIME (@AIMEproject) 25 Octobre 2014Social explanations always miss what's a collective; to explain one peculiar mode of connecting, they bring in a mixture of modes: society.
