but first i wanna talk about current activity thing
so kasey got back to me about a week ago on twitter and i saw it a few days ago
I said:
Got a job offer from
I'm gonna take it
today and I think
She said:
i did not realize this was sent until too late and then did't know how to respond good job
i bet it'll be a good start
and i havent really been avoiding, i just didnt exactly know what i wanted to say at first and didnt feel immediately compelled to reply but i was thinking about it tonight and decided i would reply tomorrow after exam tomorrow for a few reasons
1 so i can focus on exam
2 so it gives some kinda conversational intro thing ig idk
but yea its actually really good idea bc it allows me to edit and tweak and plan out

so hopefully i won't be that far behind the real cs ppl. it is kinda weird tho to work at a place 5 mins away from where i grew up lol.
i know i know mucho texto

especially in twitter dms that shit is gonna be a mess lmao
but its actually really nice even just for myself to get that written out
and i'll have little hang ups with how im describing stuff so i'll go back and revise and im just glad im doing this
v helpful to get a grasp on myself you know its like that when i pull out the parentheses within brackets within parentheses lol
and to be clear im not expecting some extended heart to heart whatever shit lol i just don't feel like i can personally go on interacting without stating those things because it confuses me
and is stressful to hold it all in my head and idk that minimum of disclousre and communication is prolly not a terrible thing? but tbf its not exactly 'minimum' lol
# diary ›
but yea its actually really good idea bc it allows me to edit and tweak and plan out still dont know if its an incredible thing i have written but its like comforting in a lot of ways
its defi scuffed Imao but maybe in a good way who knows
anywhere here is what i have written so far just finished my last exam, officially done with uni course work hope yours are
going well
and lol no worries about the response, tbh it was kind of an odd thing to send i just figured i'd update you since we talked about it. i've had a hard time knowing what and how to communicate things to you especially over text (i worry about being a nuisance and have to put a lot of intentional effort into trying to hold a balanced conversation where i don't just talk about myself or badger the recipient with questions). i feel a lot of messy emotions around you (admiration, intimidation, [constructive] envy [with a correlated humiliation in the acknowledgement of my (perceived) deficiency], unmatched existential relatability, attraction?) and that

Of course continue to engage at whatever pace you need, just thought I'd mention that seeing your message the other day was very pleasant and exciting for me. I've missed you, I care about you, and I hope you're doing well.
also i was jsut remembering
when i went to class for her and she asked what i was up to and i said listening to nietzsche audiobook (beyond good and evil)
(edited)
and she said "surprisingly normie"
like HELLO??
I LOVE YOU
LMFAO
who among you would be brave enough i fucking love it
hell yes bully me for being a normie, god >.<

I can't do this thing. I'm actually like so unbelievably bad at analyzing myself. Like all of my diaries like this are completely fucking worthless because I'm actually like very, very, very poor at like understanding what's going on in me.
I'm trying. I'm failing a lot. Just nothing feels right.
Like there's elements of truth in

Raymond Geuss, Philosophy and Real Politics, pg 32

If one takes this extended Leninist model as the matrix for political philosophy, certain consequences would seem to follow. The first is that it would be a mistake to believe that one could come to any substantive understanding of politics by discussing abstractly the good, the right, the true, or the rational in complete abstraction from the way in which these items figure in the more motivationally active parts of the human psyche, and particularly in abstraction from the way in which they impinge, even if indirectly, on human action. This, in turn, requires an understanding of the existing social and political institutions. In politics "It would be good if ... (e.g., the tsar were overthrown)" means someone has decided that it would be desirable or advisable if this were to take place, or at any rate has entertained the possibility that this might be done. "Who is that?" is always a pertinent question. It also means that someone is in principle willing to try to implement "the good" that has been determined, even if the form that attempt at implementation takes is a series of weak and ineffectual actions that amount to no more than some seditious conversations, or committing to memory a subversive poem.13

See Nadezhda Mandelstamm’s Hope against Hope: A Memoir, trans. Max Hayward (Atheneum, 1970).

lastly, note the modification to value-preservation
Raymond Geuss, “Nietzsche and Genealogy”, Morality, Culture, and History, pg 3.

One might think that this way of thinking (and especially characteristic 5) overlooks an important feature of pedigrees, namely that in certain cases the longer the pedigree - the further back it can be traced - the better, the greater the resultant valorization. A family that could trace its patent of nobility back to the 15th century might think that this pedigree showed it to be more noble than a family whose patent went back only to the 19th century. Two distinct thoughts run together in this. First, that what is older is better, i.e. a more genuine or more intense source of value, so that getting into contact with it is inherently desirable and it is just an accident that getting in touch with this source of value requires a large number of steps of succession. The second thought is that the increasing number of steps - the passage of time itself - enhances the prestige or value of the item in question: It isn't that the older is necessarily a better source of value than what is more recent, but the value increases through succession. This suggests that one should perhaps revise 5 to read: 
5*. by a series of steps that preserve or enhance whatever 
value is in question.

one of the primary functions my quote posting serves is author-affirmation through pedigree

raymond geuss, art and criticism in adorno, outside ethics, 179

I have claimed that Adorno wanted to embed some Kantian themes about the importance and centrality of aesthetic form in a basically Left Hegelian philosophical view: a strictly formalist aesthetics isn't required by the inherent nature and invariant structures of the human cognitive apparatus, but it can be the most appropriate way for art to attain its highest vocation under certain historical circumstances. This doesn't, of course, mean that he wants to get a

raymond geuss, art and criticism in adorno, outside ethics, 168

Works of art for Adorno are inherently useless objects which present an "image" (Bild) of a kind of meaningfulness and freedom which society promises its members but does not provide. The fact that art is both something many people find meaningful-even if it isn't clear what "meaningful" means—and yet something which by most of the standards of everyday life is useless, is already for Adorno a good sign, because it violates the Enlightenment principle of universal functionalism, that is, the principle that everything must be useful for something, and that the meaningful and the functional are inherently connected.

13 Brecht's views but not necessarily his actual theatrical practice, which, Adorno admits, was more sophisticated.

thinking about this more
just want to reiterate the point i made before when we were talking abt this
that basically she's trying to say: other people report sexual attraction when provided the stimulus of another person relatively decontextualized
but i feel like the last part is doing the heavy lifting
there's obviously no true decontextualized point, it's not as if people are attracted pure and simple to bodies in any sort of configuration or presentation
but once you grant some context it's a degree of gradation at that point, or not even that (what would 'a gradation of qualitatively distinct contexts' mean?)
so it's really like: my sexual attraction is most prominent when people are presented in a narrative context, particularly with certain genre-specific features and power dynamics i think it's a case of someone being confused by the way other people talk about their experiences
very similar to the "internal monologue" discussion
i'm thinking of an example

i'm thinking of an example
willow Today at 9:11 AM
so let's say a society was very oriented around sexual depictions of people who had been slimed
so much so that it's like the dominant and borderline exclusive way
me saying "eh slime girls aren't really my thing" isn't like a meaningful thing tho that's ofc banking on our current intuitions
but the reality is, in that society ofc it would be meaningful and significant to define yourself that way
so like i can see the vision of why it matters to differentiate
but i feel like there's a lot of slippage from that more pragmatic and ironic use of a label and a full-blooded identity, in all its vicissitudes
and that feels like part of the point or even the primary point, which is why i'm psychologically skeptical of the unifying and ordering function is dangerous in the foucaultian sense if the noint i'm trvino to make w the slime
diary ›
the point i'm trying to make w the slime example is that there's no transcendental existing types to fit into, which is obvious from our current social vantage point, but it may be more difficult for relations within sexual hegemony. my attitude is to distance myself from identity labels that hypostasize these contingencies. honestly im even skeptical of even constructing ideal types that give abstraction to move within (edited)
it's so ripe for ideology
in all honesty it feels like a gesture at radical escape that is enmeshed in identical technologies

I am a liberal

What then would a stable Rawlsian liberal socialist regime look like? In A Theory of Justice Rawls claimed that
a liberal socialist regime can also answer to the two principles of justice. We have only to suppose that the means of production are publicly owned and that firms are managed by worker's councils say, or by agents appointed by them. Collective decisions made democratically under the constitution determine the general features of the economy, such as the rate of saving and the proportion of society's production devoted to essential public goods. Given the resulting economic environment, firms regulated by market forces conduct themselves much as before. Although the background conditions will take a different form, especially in the case of the distribution branch, there is no reason in principle why just distributive shared cannot be achieved.

Love Me, I’m a Liberal - Phil Ochs

The lecture halls are extended gutters and the gutters are full of normative political theory and when the drains finally scab over, all the Rawlsians will drown.

The accumulated filth of all their veils of ignorance and difference principles will foam up about their waists and all the guys writing books about some footnote in AToJ and all the people who have never read Robert Paul Wolff will look up and shout 'SAVE US!'

…and I'll look down and whisper ' Just read Geuss'.
