ironically i think we’re all a bit too decentralized for this to be viable

it’d be fun to video call and play drinking games tho, but less fun bc no cuddles

the us government would make an exception for me because i’m a bunny with a cool scar on my face

i wouldn’t mind quitting

it’d be fun to meet up with bloomfs and drink

sad that some of you wouldn’t come anymore. i’m causally responsible and i wish we were still alright

we kinda just discover shit out of nowhere every so often

oh yea i knew abt this, but the discussion made it sound so bad that it would be better not to ruin it for myself lol

really i just have to do things the right way, and i don’t rly have the time/energy for now i think, so ill just stare longingly from afar while i wait for LLMs to get good enough

the autism ails me

🥺🥺🥺

srry this was meant to be jokey and referencing cool things i knew abt but it came across pretty rude i think oops

hey do u wanna become besties so you can translate and read this to me 🥺 i’m not gonna learn japanese and the alternative is waiting for this guy to pick it up denpaarchive.neocities.org/downloads

ok well i’m naked rn so gimme a sec to get dressed, jeez so pushy

yea i don’t think it actually works (W rejects it as well, hence the “”), i just thought the use of ‘sum’ in this context was cute :3. in general it seems a lil weird to me to propose a definition like “x is the aggregate of all the sub-types of x” lol

can i come upstairs and hug u 🥺

you don't have to read, this is all you need to know i think

soap would be so cool as a leninist

my life has gotten a lot more miserable this year

"We can draw a boundary— for a special purpose. Does it take that to make the concept usable? Not at all! (Except for that special purpose.)"

when he penetrates my phenomena: @_@

like why'd he emphasize it like that 🤨🏳️‍🌈

wait shit i posted this next one on main instead of in the thread

that's my goat 🥹

like i have my criticisms for ordinary language philosophy but tell me this doesn't go hard

wait huh what happened with my blob bro

i can see it on pds!! cdn me motherfucker!!

wittgenstein the marxologist explaining that the money-commodity also has an exchange-value and a use-value.... waow

@kasey.cafe what do you think of the idea that the concept of 'number' is a sum of other concepts (for some reason this is pretty amusing to me)

also i could certainly see a rejoinder that the context is already circumscribed here such that the dichotomization is appropriate, to which i'd basically accept, but at that point we aren't really disagreeing anymore.

basically i want to ascribe a negative thesis to wittgenstein, where he says to his philosopher-peers: "don't think about it that way, you're confusing yourself", that the scope of his notion of philosophy is tied to his historical context, and that he has ~nothing to say about other philosophies

here's hoping someone records for those of us across the pond =)

one of the many reasons i enjoy wittgenstein is that he articulates one elaboration of hegel's dictum: "philosophy arises when life has lost its unity" www.marxists.org/reference/ar...

among others, marx, nietzche, and dewey also traverse this path to some extent, with dewey being highly relevant for W in my mind. i wouldn't go as far as to say that "our language is in order as it is", but for the problematic situation W found himself in, i think it's an apt response.

Which is to say I want to have my cake and eat it too, and disagree with Geuss here. I think W is most generatively interpreted as speaking to a distinct context from adorno with his conception of innocence in the everyday. www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1Ay...

(W definitely oversteps, but if anyone can, adorno ought to be able to appreciate the value of exaggeration in philosophizing)

for the uninitiated: "Dewey held that serious thought is relative to a concrete problematic situation. If the situation is not problematic, inquiry is otiose. Much of traditional philosophy, he thought, consisted in the generation of pseudo-questions which arose because of

an inadequate appreciation of the way in which terms, concepts, and theories were related to the concrete situations in which they originated" - Raymond Geuss, History and Illusion in Politics, pg 158.

one aspect of all of those that attempt such strategies is that they are reflexive theories, trying to give an account of what philosophy is doing and how their philosophizing fits into that picture

waaaa

cdn borked ig /shrug

getBlobbing my bloomfies so i can understand wtf they're talking abt

moral support 🥺

in theory it's probably more structurally sound and you can do fun things with pressure and angles, but we'd have to test it out to confirm 😉

"Where language is perceived to be the site of progressive action, action is taken in language. Actions taken in other spheres can become less urgent and less necessary."

some of my favorite anecdotes are from this book

i had a friend in high school that sat in her friend's living room while they got eiffel tower'd upstairs
