1. I like the idea that enclosures are molds and controls are a self-deforming cast. I think that this is a harsh truth, but an important one to understand. Thinking about enclosures in this way forces us to constantly interrogate concepts like "progress" or "freedom". Which relates to a quote in the Deleuze piece that resonated with me --> “There is no need to fear or hope, but only to look for new weapons.” pg. 4
2. I was a bit confused when the "corporation" was introduced into this piece, especially when it is applied to education.
3. The idea that the ultimate mix of all races is a solution was created from the some material that the problem was.
4. “But everyone knows that these institutions are finished, whatever the length of their expiration periods. It’s only a matter of administering their last rites and of keeping people employed until the installation of the new forces knocking at the door.” pg. 4
5. Eugenics is a great example of the dangers posed to the transformation from race as skin deep to race as molecular. This relates back to number one, because the molecular ideas of race just produced new mechanisms of control. Which requires the population to simply find new ways to defend itself. A bit of an evolutionary relationship.
