i have so many thoughts about this passage

i’m feeling somewhat sympathetic for those who feel the pull of the metaphysical need. how else is one to cope with weakness in the face of monstrosity and no power to overcome the conditions this horrific world is predicated upon? for most it is too much to bear.

teaching evaluations are vile professors are cops and therefore any positive evaluation makes you a bootlicker sellout; but negative evaluation is futile complaining to the police dep bureaucracy in either case, you’re also just filling out a consumer survey and greasing the wheels of capital

dewey is such a dreadful writer

i legit will never comprehend what goes through the mind of a 61 follower soundcloud artist that makes derivative work from already derivative work decide "ah yes today i will enclose the commons" literally what's wrong with you

rorty says this is his favorite passage from dewey and it makes complete sense i can appreciate it, but mostly in the sense that it makes clear where the battle lines are between the reformist and revolutionary pragmatists

@kasey.cafe talking about philosophy of math would be fun

"lewis once said that philosophy is a matter of gathering together our intuitions and then finding the way to keep as many as possible. i think its a matter of treating both intuitions and accusations of paradox as the voice of the past and as possible impediments to the creation of a better future"

people clown on sam harris but the moral landscape is essentially on par with the rest of the supposed groundings for ethics, albeit more clumsily presented

omg it was fucking c) im gonna rope

its interesting how much William James consistently uses money as metaphor in his writing - i'm not sure if this is a reflection of the American idioms of the day but it doesn't feel irrelevant to his thought as a whole

one of the following is true: a) this is designed poorly b) there is a good reason for why it was designed this way and i'm too stupid to realize it c) it can actually do exactly what i want, i'm just too stupid to figure out how it works

sorry heidegger i'm busy bash scripting rn, i'll get back to you in a moment

the comments on my audiobook upload are hilarious

hey remember that time i saw a friend of a friend at the highly specialized eating disorder therapy place

reading Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature reminded me how awful philosophy of mind is i never want to hear about c-fibers or neurological subroutine correlates ever again

those edifying philosophers with the bravery to be hermeneutic in the face of systematic epidemiologists, those will be our heroic companions while untangling ourselves from the stultifying familiarity in which we find ourselves

autistics are predisposed to admire brechtian estrangement because it has the potential to resonate with their daily experience

sometimes i think that i am no longer as impressed with geuss as i once was, and then i read him again and fall in love all over again to repeat a sentiment i had in an entirely different context: "i doubt i really ever 'get over' anyone, i just get distracted"

in the interest of brevity, Freire really could have trimmed this paragraph down to “Their ideal is to be men.”

all boys should be forced to do a maid cosplay stream as a rite of passage

LLMs are groundbreaking, they said. a massive disruptor, they said.

the goldfish is right and that’s why schooling is bad :)

how does my dad remember that i was born at 9:37 on a thursday when my mom doesn’t

the only reason anarchists should take umbrage with taxes is that they presuppose and maintain the money form (not to mention are historically responsible for its proliferation)

rorty might be my favorite lib

it’s actually kinda nice not having any friends at work now, it encourages me to be more completely alienated, keeping a tough outer shell without pores for the toxins to seep in

my bash script to clean up the formatting of text from books is also really useful for TTS purposes. the audio flows a lot more smoothly, and it in my most recent example it cut out 25 minutes of unnecessary pausing.

rorty and geuss are cute

youtube recommendations know me so well

tea is cool and all but why does it make me pee so much

idk its not even like sadness per se, it's more like lack of purpose. i have all sorts of drives but lack the temporal and psychological resources to cultivate them properly into powers and creations in the way i'd like - and as a result i become demotivated from pursuing them.

i'm not happy and i won't ever be

russian sounds so cool, i wish more games had VAs for different languages
