The Art of Shrinking Heads: The New Servitude of the Liberated in the Age of Total CapitalismAfter the hell of the Nazis and the terror of Communism, it is possible that a new catastrophe has appeared on the horizon: this time it is neoliberalism that wants to create its own 'new man'. For two centuries, Kant's critical subject and Freud's neurotic subject provided us with philosophical templates for modernity, but today modern capitalism is systematically destroying these two subjects and replacing them with something new.

After the hell of the Nazis and the terror of Communism, it is possible that a new catastrophe has appeared on the horizon: this time it is neoliberalism that wants to create its own 'new man'.For two centuries, Kant's critical subject and Freud's neurotic subject provided us with philosophical templates for modernity, but today modern capitalism is systematically destroying these two subjects and replacing them with something new. The two subjects of modernity both presupposed some reference to a higher value or power (like Reason) which provided a symbolic guarantor, but neoliberalism, by emphasizing the exchange of commodities in the marketplace, destroys all transcendental references of this kind. Now human beings no longer look beyond themselves and no longer have to agree about symbolic values: they only have to get on with the circulation and consumption of goods. Deprived of his faculty of judgement and urged to enjoy himself without restraint, the 'new man' of neoliberalism takes centre stage in the era of global capitalism.
In this biting critique of our contemporary condition Dufour shows that the radical transformation of the subject brought about by neoliberalism - what he calls 'the art of shrinking heads' - contains a new kind of violence which has far-reaching consequences for our ways of living together.

Dog Toys Ball, Motion
It keeps my dog entertained for quite a while, which has been a huge help when he has too much energy. The ball moves on its own and activates with motion, so it quickly grabs his attention. I liked that it features different functions and unexpected movements that make playtime more fun. The quality feels good for the price, and the battery lasts long enough for several play sessions. A great option for dogs that get bored easily

Cute toy for the pets
A cute interactive pet toy. You turn it on by screwing off the top, and it has 3 different modes and flashing lights. The ropes are separate and you tie them on the top. It rolls and moves around on the floor at different speeds depending on which mode and flashes different colored lights. It seems durable. My cat likes it more than the dog, but my dog is an older girl who doesn't play much. Most dogs would probably like it. It's rechargeable, so no batteries, and you can apparently use a bluetooth connection to download more sounds, etc. It's basically just chirps now and then.
Overall a great toy for bored pets. Not a superlight toy- has a little weight to it so it rolls around, and the ropes flop around.

Durable Interactive Dog Toy with Bluetooth Sounds – Perfect for Dogs Who Love Cat-Style Toys
This interactive dog toy is surprisingly durable and very engaging, especially for dogs that love cat-style toys. My dog is obsessed with cat toys and also always wants to destroy something, so this toy is a perfect match. The Bluetooth sound feature makes it even more fun and interactive.
Pros
• Very durable main body made of hard plastic; my dog hasn’t been able to destroy it
• Great for dogs that like “mouser-style” toys
• Bluetooth feature lets you play animal sounds or music (I use Spotify dog playlists)
• Three different modes and very easy to switch
• Interactive and mentally stimulating
• Comes with two replaceable ropes, which I’m really happy about
Cons
• The ropes don’t last long for strong chewers
• The top part where the rope is attached can be chewed
Overall
Honestly, if there weren’t any parts my dog could destroy, he probably wouldn’t find the toy interesting. That’s why I’m actually happy it comes with two ropes that I can attach and replace. The ropes are inexpensive and easy to swap out, so it’s not really a downside for us. Overall, this is a fun and clever toy that keeps my dog entertained. 🐶
