hm i dislike how i made this an issue of epistemology. in some ways its a statement of contextual emotivism (sometimes your ideas are actually feelings) and an instruction to pay attention to those emotions and take them seriously on their own terms rather than bringing your own arbitrary material

i don't think its easier to know or to articulate emotions

what i meant to be saying was that in the case of an emotional cause of a position, you're not going to get anywhere closer to understanding what's going on by investigating the position itself, and in that way if you begin at the right location it is easier to come to appropriate knowledge

"scatterbrained"? actually it's called parallelism and it's really important

aw this one is nice

you should talk more about your feelings and less about your ideas

not because feelings have metaphysically primacy over ideas, just from the practical matter that you are more likely to be misinformed about your ideas (that is, there is falsity in the ideas themselves and your understanding of the nature of what those ideas truly are)

there is a rush to attribute meaning to feelings, to graft something with more weight onto the appearance of superfluity rather than allowing the feelings to speak for themselves

also though, this isn't a glorification of emotion in-itself. articulation is its necessary task

i should have known it was over the moment i insulted doja cat

you're really gonna let them arpeggiate your ass like that bro?

oh my GOD this drum fill dude im gonna cream

theres a difference between being offended and being hurt

pluripotent larva the run-saver

the guy proselytizing austrian economics in minecraft vids is so goofy lmao

For although it is commonly said that reason­ able men pay attention not to the word but to the thing itself, yet this does not give us permission to describe a thing in terms inappropriate to it.

For this is at once incompetence and deceit, to fancy and to pretend that one merely has not the right word, and to hide from oneself that really one has failed to get hold of the thing itself, i.e. the Concept. If one had the Concept, then one would also have the right word.

something that was kinda fun about college is that you were put in a position where you were forced into proximity with people fairly different from yourself

it wasn't experienced as fun at the time but i can appreciate it more now that meeting different sorts of people is more challenging

to some extent this is true of k-12 and work, except theres not nearly as much turnover and seasonal distinctness

this was a thinly veiled regression, sorry

lynu/valetical/red letter diary/katie kross is sublime

nothing like a morning cry

i opened it on accident and i'm glad i did

i've been closing the door to my room to feel more secluded even tho no one is around

i could be your tech illiterate honface trophy wife

i could be your rizzless chud

on this episode of "am i obsessed with revealing private things to feel vulnerable, or do i keep a lot of things private so everything i reveal feels vulnerable"

i think some of the strongest gender euphoria i get these days is when hailey calls me by name

if you ever get mad at someone just remember that they're probably like that because they didn't get 8 hugs today

oh no i remembered a poor phrasing of a bad take from 2 years ago, it’s never been more over

im kind of a space-out spaz sometimes

i have boy texture

my officemate is watching youtube shorts on a 4k curved monitor

5 different teams messages and 7 new tickets opened this morning, can y'all just chill it's been two hours

i really did mean this literally, as in dis-ease. and yea it worked out

critical microsoft teams messages should not be a thing lol

is it too early to say android would be cool if the software didn't suck

moon2 is a bad map with bad phases that are all so clearly filler

which is understandable, it’s true that it would feel empty otherwise. but like you should probably do something about that then instead of padding it so arbitrarily

im no believer in the redeeming qualities of the unexamined life so i appreciate when systemitizers come along to construct things that can be destroyed productively

can you tell I'm in a hegelian and not a nietzschean mood? lol

see also: poly and neos (trans more broadly) for whatever reason the more ideational (think socialist, philosophical) disagreements garner less sympathy from me. i have inklings of theories but it might be good to wait a bit before writing them out

"for intellectuals, unswerving isolation is the only form in which they can vouchsafe a measure of solidarity." i wouldn't call myself one of those mr adorno but i feel u bestie
