rousseau-esque human nature anarchism is so uncompelling

@kasey.cafe our thread got me thinking so i processed in the only way i know how: recording an audiobook of the relevant geuss essay

once again tempted to break the first law of nutrition science okay fine maybe the first page of them

meeting to prep for the workgroup meeting in anticipation of the internal meeting to touchbase before the customer-facing meeting

i’m actually really sad i don’t wanna wake up tomorrow or ever again

being good at the humanities is brutal bc you have better values than everyone and it’s painful how moronic they all are but then you try to do anything practical and you’re embarrassingly incompetent and ppl will say the stuff you’re good at is “all subjective anyways hehe” i am cursed

underrated benefit of ADV over NVL is not having to move your eyes from a single location

imagine working all week to create a skin only for it to be relegated to the free tier of the battle pass

poetry is so beautiful ♡

@kasey.cafe you're good at math can you confirm

Transgender is like Ferrari… I like Ferrari

i went through way too much effort to 100% this game

nietzsche on the pathos of distance

the getquakedon shitting pants clip is only funny if you hate disabled people

idk how to express this in a way that doesn't make me sound like a pseud but like i've been thinking about how history is comprised of a series of mundane events that are retrospectively given interpretive significance. viewing my actions in this light is devastating.

i miss when i had the ability to have a proper nervous breakdown

i feel like less of a person lately

i was gonna make a shitpost along the lines of “enough with ‘ontologically evil’, let’s try ‘epistemically evil’ for a while” but then i realized this has already basically been done by Putnam re: Rorty

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.

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

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

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
