Fourier esitti perustettavaksi pieniä yhdyskuntia, falangeja, joissa olisi 400 perhettä. Jokainen harjoittaisi haluamaansa ammattia, mutta asuisi samassa rakennuksessa, falansterissa. Työn tulokset jaettaisiin sen mukaan, miten kukin oli ottanut osaa tuotantoon (työn, pääoman ja erikoistaidon perusteella).
ellauri145.html on line 110: As a traveling salesman and correspondence clerk, his research and thought was time-limited: he complained of "serving the knavery of merchants" and the stupefaction of "deceitful and degrading duties." Fourier produced most of his writings between 1816 and 1821. In 1822, he tried to sell his books again but with no success. Jobs people might not enjoy doing would receive higher pay. Fourier considered trade, which he associated with Jews, to be the "source of all evil" and advocated that Jews be forced to perform farm work in the phalansteries or else sent back to The Philistines with Rotschild money. Fourier´s contempt for the respectable thinkers and ideologies of his age was so intense that he always used the terms philosopher and civilization in a pejorative sense.


ellauri145.html on line 111: The transformation of labor into pleasure is the craziest idea in Fourier´s giant socialist utopia," said Marcuse. He had a concern for the sexually rejected; jilted suitors would be led away by a corps of "fairies" who would soon cure them of their lovesickness, and visitors could consult the card-index of personality types for suitable partners for casual sex. He also defended homosexuality as a personal preference for some people. Fourier sexualizes work itself—the life of the Phalanstery is a continual orgy of intense feeling, intellection, & activity, a society of lovers & wild enthusiasts.


ellauri145.html on line 112: Fourier was also a supporter of women´s rights in a time period when misogynic influences like Jean-Jacques Rousseau were prevalent. Fourier is credited with having originated the word feminism in 1837. Fourier believed that all important jobs should be open to women on the basis of skill and aptitude rather than closed on account of gender. He spoke of women as individuals, not as half the human couple. Fourier saw that "traditional" marriage could potentially hurt woman´s rights as human beings and thus never married. Writing before the advent of the term ´homosexuality´, Fourier held that both men and women have a wide range of sexual needs and preferences which may change throughout their lives, including same-sex sexuality and androgénité. He argued that all sexual expressions should be enjoyed as long as people are not abused, and that "affirming one´s difference" can actually enhance social integration. Stark raving mad, he was!
ellauri145.html on line 114: Baudelairen mielestä tärisevä Swedenborg oli vielä suurempi sekobolzi kuin Fourier. Swedenborgin mielestä taivas oli "un tres grande homme". Callella saattoi olla poinzi siellä. Jonkun muun ruukkupään mielestä luonto oli verbi.
ellauri145.html on line 115: Ei vittu tää piha-Antero on täys hourupää, ja niin on noi sen kaverit, subrealistit symbolistit sun muut mustikkasuut, ja ennenkaikkea ne on totaalisen huumorittomia. 100% tyhjiökuivattuja. Bretonin valizemat Fourierin muka-huvittavat pläjäyxet on erittäinkin puujalkamaisia.

xxx/ellauri113.html on line 50: Gravity is more subtle, though: the real problem is not so much nonrenormalizability as high-energy behavior inconsistent with local quantum field theory. In quantum mechanics, if you want to probe physics at short distances, you can scatter particles at high energies. (You can think of this as being due to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, if you like, or just about properties of Fourier transforms where making localized wave packets requires the use of high frequencies.) By doing ever-higher-energy scattering experiments, you learn about physics at ever-shorter-length scales. (This is why we build the LHC to study physics at the attometer length scale.)
