In 2001 , Lotringer co-edited the ironically titled '' Hatred of Capitalism : A Semiotexte Reader '' . Released in the wake of the September 11 attacks , the anthology strove to clarify Semiotexte 's composite vision of politics , intelligence and radical humor . Summing up the Semiotexte self-styled mission , Lotringer used an observation made to him by filmmaker Jack Smith as an epigraph : " The world is starving for thoughts . If you can think of something , the language will fall into place , but the thought is what 's going to do it "
