picking this thread back up (apologies, this is going to be disorganized)

first things first: a clarification: we both agree that the rejection of orientation model actually doesn’t matter at all, i just said it in that one tweet as intentionally as myopic and diminutive of your position as possible. just a quip muhehe

the problematic skeet in question:

next, i think this clip will provide some structure to my argument. 1. contextual nature of categories changes attitude away from identifying in too fanatical away with a category 2. and it’s not about true or false, it’s about degrees of enlightenment and about what you draw your attention to

(sidenote: geuss doesn't address these two in a systemic way iirc, but it permeates his work. therefore im using this as a succinct expression of his general approach)

if you truly believe there are deep problems with the way this historical configuration of sexuality is constructed, why are you even bothering to define yourself in any way to it, even negatively? perform a nietzschean turning away instead, and find new forms of higher enlightenment

crucially, it doesn't even matter if the points you are raising are true or not. it's about where your attention is, and where you choose to maintain and emphasize.

now lets address the list directly: my core complaint is that these are just a bundling of independently fine tendencies, but i think it's counterproductive to lump them together.

1. identity, and the primary thing i am skeptical of 2. true but uninteresting (we agree) 3. queerness - basically an implication of 2 not working, and unclear why significant 4. tbh just kinda silly. radfem is kinda dead end 5. feminism. well and good, but unclear why relevant

i see 1-3 as stemming from the same thing: rejection of sexual hegemony and 4-5 as simply feminist analysis (4 masquerades as prescription, but we all know when we get into defining capital M Men, it just lapses back into feminist analysis)

anorexic ass lyrics

i miss keep decay off of 10 accounts at once

wild how quotes from the philosophical Great Men occupy the equivalent level of reverence as a throwaway title from some emoboi soundcloud artist in my mind

nietzsche : wagner :: willow : n0thanky0u

i have a headache and i’m tired it’s so bright

nah it’s mb, i’m tired

it’s fun to talk about but we’re whiffing one another on meaning, i think irl is goated

i don’t like anything :) my energy has been sapped and i am a dead husk :)

eh don’t bother it’s just showing that through the course of the book the pathos of distance takes an inversion from laudable generator of values to threat to new values

i don’t have an issue with the contradiction and opacity i have an issue with the type of thinking, values, motivational structure that would produce such an identification but also the length that this convo has gone on doesn’t rly reflect the significance i actually feel. it’s shrug w/e, i get it

yeah it’s the literal part that creeps me out a bit btw you would love nietzsche he does this shit all the damn time

mentioned this example the other day

mhm lots of marx-influenced folks on that train

i could link the obvious geuss text but it’s a little on the nose (and imo less relevant than the essay i recorded yesterday)

especially considering you have some extra bells and whistles meow

We’re just talking past one another because we disagree on priors and while yours are widely legible and I would argue reified, mine are not and much more difficult to understand.

[for the uninitiated, this is a copypasta. i am not just being an asshole to my lovely gf whom i love]

uhm have you considered

booooo ewwwww capital should know i hate my gf and want plausible excuses to be alone for a large portion of the day (i have parental trauma how can u tell)

if i were a based neet id be waking up at 4am like god intended my natural rhythm has been stripped from me and you’re cheering on the sidelines, despicable.

it’s not my fault she’s so powerful aaaaaa

what the hell @kasey.cafe found our secret hideout

i’m sure we’ll talk about it again soon hehe it does feel a little mean sometimes like i’m not trying to be invalidating or w/e ofc you know you can stop me at any time if im being too dense

LOL ILY just in context i was like wait omg… but it’s cute, don’t be careful live on the edge 😈 white boy can take the spice 🌶️

heart beating a mile a minute 😵‍💫 monkaS

huh? this was abt my convo w kasey and ace

i wrote this at 9am this morning loll

hehehe ily

i had more thoughts btw

it’s so bad to post publicly bc my diary thoughts are like missing 12 lemmas between each proposition that i just leave out for my own convenience

am i wrong tho :3

no longer hearing you out

literally why would i have to hear you out this is cute as hell

meow

the first one made more sense

rousseau-esque human nature anarchism is so uncompelling

why was this my first thought of the day i wasn’t even responding to anything i saw, i just awoke and it came to me in a vision

i love what a rabid hold my little tick has taken on you

tic not tick altho maybe the latter could actually give u rabies who knows
