there's always an uneasy sub-conscious decision making process going on when i post things like this bc i'm basically acting in solidarity against ppl i ostensibly agree with on a particular issue, but they hold views i think will be counterproductive at generating conclusions on other issues.

66 thousand people have identified themselves as my philosophical and political rivals

(not to mention influence how they engage with this particular issue) now, lets be clear, the action is minuscule but in principle this is still a decision.

i think the tone of the piece i'm engaging with matters to some extent, but i'm not sure in which direction. if it's lighthearted it can easily appear like i'm reading too much into it and being annoying (true), but it can also be an light opportunity to nudge in a new direction.

i don't get the hype around LeGuin maybe i will read her to confirm my priors

i’m in the process of kicking her out of my apartment (after having a sloppy make out session all day long)

hiiii BOULANGERIE, my love :3 here’s the attention u ordered

elsa is so needy

storms in T-T i really am the evil guy manarchist huh

i don’t think universalized warm sentiment is a good foundation for effective politics, and more generally i don’t like the idea of a worldview with foundations at all (it’s a little tongue in cheek, ofc these ppl are fine and w/e, i just have a bone to pick w christian morals and systematic philos)

to make myself abundantly clear: protesting against domination regardless of location is obviously good, and i support the current student protests for palestine

66 thousand people have identified themselves as my philosophical and political rivals

i feel like a certain genre of philosopher is no longer possible, and it's a largely generational thing. philosophers with breadth as opposed to specialization, wit, charisma, humility, and self-awareness - personally warm-hearted but espousing politics with bite.

robert paul wolff is genuinely such a cute lil guy

it's also surely an age thing - the older generations have more stories to tell, but the difference is that their stories are a product of a more varied and integrated upbringing.

my intuition is to attribute this to 1) class differences in those that can now pursue academic philosophy and 2) technological development

i forgot this existed @kasey.cafe (he does linear algebra to show that labor theory of value is wrong, but that marx is still right)

People who talk about revolution and class struggle without referring explicitly to everyday life, without understanding what is subversive about love and what is positive in the refusal of constraints, such people have corpses in their mouths.
