raz containment thread

fuuuuuck hes being so cool rn. "there is no value-neutral definition of liberty" "if there is one common thread to the argument of this book it is its critique of individualism and its endeavor to argue for a liberal morality on non-individualistic grounds"

"the argument of this book strives to rehabilitate the traditionalist affirmation of the value of freedom. but it accepts the revisionist arguments against both the presumption of liberty and the simple principle, as well as their critique of linguistic analysis.

in some ways my proposed defense of the traditional belief in the value of freedom is based on a radical departure from some historically central liberal doctrines."

i just have such a soft spot in my heart for people who throw away all of the intellectual scaffolding that would regularly arrive at their conclusions

good analysis that authority is not merely defacto authority, there is some normative justificatory core to the concept, whether or not that project succeeds is a separate question

i love love love love when the snare head is overtight and the beads are loose

keep it up white boy in the punk demos, youre killing it

lmao im peeping the toc rn and its just so opposite of my vibe. not sure why i'm doing this but i feel like i'll be the most sympathetic rn ill ever be

ok fine im big enough to admit i just wanna read raz, and i think itll be a nice mental exercise, i don't expect it to be theraputic hehe

i really gotta read more feminist shit again, tho they cant be libs or im gonna be misogynistic

maybe i just gotta revisit the cultural politics of emotion, ahmed would actually be therapeutic atm

istg im gonna lib out

can we stop doing retarded shit please

alright thats it im reading the morality of freedom

i love you and i’m gonna cry more

sometimes i just get overwhelmed

all my friends mean so much to me and it’s hard to disambiguate the feelings, there are these swirling waves and glimpses of experiences and associations that emerge and fall back into the swell again and again

it’s a very roundabout way to get there. the proximate thing is that i’m (for some inexplicable reason) exposing myself to more contemporary political content and its hopelessly dour and sad and hateful. the world is trying to make me a raz liberal, i just hate cruelty right now

and that painful energy gets weirdly funneled into the affection i feel for the ones i love

i’m so much more sensitive now, and my sphere of concern is so much tighter and more concrete. i don’t know if it’s a regression before or a progression beyond the enlightenment, probably a little of both

i've fallen behind on sleep

i'm gonna take a shower then finish this anime

tomorrow i’ll vacuum

i think avoiding media posts are important for my mental clarity

data weighs on my brain concomitant with its size i suppose

unemployed friend on a tuesday at 2pm: babe look i entered all of windows-1252 into a guarantor note in a follow-up billing activity

plan for today: find a dark room in storybook and read the denials galaxy guide

nvm i’m fatigue by the effort people are making me go through, im gonna chill and anime or something

i lied i did work instead

i like that my pfps characteristically tend to have their eyes closed or hidden

thanks chloe

saoirse dream day

works cuz it makes the cinny shaped hole in my heart that much wider

maybe i’ll find the words in another day

use this to identify my shoes when i assassinate a prominent public figure

i just cry a lot sometimes

my tears are very warm

i don’t like having so many windows open on my computer

i clean up after myself yknow

beyond wasteful and cluttered it’s just claustrophobic and the aesthetics are offensive

uh oh forgot my headphones at home

i’m going back

NVM

having a work wife that is also my real wife is so goated dude

my optometrist has these octopus jelly stress balls and i like squishing the little feet beans

i like the phrase “practice medicine”

awful thing to press the brakes and not show any signs of stopping
