grad students get the wall

i don't fuck with whats left of philosophy!! did you fuckers even read the book!! what the hell man!!

adorno is not just a philosopher against reification, against hypostasization. he has whole sections dedicated to the ways in which those who become so focused on reification err into the idealization of pure immediacy

the frustrating thing about it is that, like adorno says, literally everyone has been doing anti-reification for ages. it's not unique, it's not good enough. you're missing what is special to him because it's more comfortable to lean on familiar concepts and methods

But thinking must not confine itself to abstract negation. The illusion that it is possible to take hold of the many directly would regress to mythology, to a diffuse greyness just as at the opposite pole unity thinking would mean the imitation of blind nature by suppressing it, mythical domination.

the enduring power of hegel's thought lay in the fact that he restored to philosophy the right and the ability to think in terms of contents, instead of letting itself be fobbed off with the analysis of empty and trivial forms of cognition

is it racist if i call the new korean kid on the incelcore scene kpop

in incel discords they say "go white boy go" to minorities

i’m womanmaxxing rn and kind of on my period or smthn

it’s actually very embarrassing lol

honestly i'm not tired so i might stay up a bit longer

teddie is so cute for being hella autistic about hegel substituting 'the indeterminate' for 'indeterminateness'

the world if adorno's TA didn't drop the ball

people have this perception of dialectics or continental philosophy as impenetrable but if you listen to adorno chat about it casually in lectures its all extremely approachable and unmysterious

it can get a little chaotic during the boss fight especially with low damage/items but increasing director credits in the first two stages is much more enjoyable

kinda odd when people complain about an aspect of a game with modding capability which has mods available for that precise change. like sure balance would probably be best provided by devs that can consider a wider context and it makes it more 'official' but in the meantime...

yea its not so bad if you play distance and chip damage and cover, just gotta respect the build

some classes i have a pretty hard time with that, esp melee, but i've kinda been avoiding them anyway so w/e. more to learn but thats a later task

artificier is super fun

makes sense, mei main

shes just cool for having cc and vertical mobility and built in status effects and also for being projectile

yo i found it

okay it turns out i was actually the one being anachronistic, ego-dystonic came later and is american DSM type shit, ego-alien is accurate and more specific anyway, neat

ego-dystonic....

i'm so curious i wonder if the translator translated it "ego-alien" as a way to be more legible to english audiences or if that was actually roughly a phrase in use in 60's german psychology (which would be fascinating)

unironically: the world spirit has set me to work on this neglected opposite side

this thought also makes me happy because it's a recognition that there is a long process of socialization/familiarization into a culture/community, and the scaffolding you use to start joining in on the conversation probably has a lot more depth than you're capable of grasping at the start

beyond capability theres also a question of temperament and what scaffolding i'm open to allowing myself to climb, even if just temporarily

my metaphors are all mixed but you get the deal

in general on the left we're excessively nominalist, and it came about for good reasons, but it runs against real limits and there has to be more grappling and usage of the universal

which is like actually really fucking hard because i lied when i said the left is excessively nominalist, they're still stuck all over the place on confused and wrongheaded concepts: "freedom", "humanism", take your pick. deflationary and particularist moves in response are of course necessary, but

unfortunately that's usually where the development ends because the interlocutor isn't equipped for a proper rejoinder. but that leaves the debunkers in self-satisfied ignorance, trapped at the object level with no room to move

this is what i meant a while ago when i said "i'm too nominalist for my own good" because it sucks being stuck there, replete with inertia. all the viable conceptual apparatuses around me are not up to the task and i don't trust the ones that are peddled

which is why this trip back to adorno has been so refreshing, i really have been desperately dehydrated by my own doing. i'm still not at the point where i can comfortably navigate myself entirely, but i can tell that this is where i want to be

i'd like to err too far on the side of hegel for a while, if possible

hm i don't like when my posts are subtweets when i don't intend them to be

more uses for my diary probably

this isn't a kasey subtweet lol

i think its funny when kasey mixes up when to use +1 and +2

:3

inject that shit right into my veins

retvrn kylerspace.carrd.co

the estrogen is working

i was being selfish again but that stream was a lovely gift of sounds and im grateful

can you really blame me though? i don’t get walk audios anymore, ive gotta get my fix somehow

rorty is always right

ngl i still haven't caught up to kasey's findings from 2025-03-16
