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

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

this has worked for me btw! i still have more progress to make in this direction (i think my next step is to start writing about what i read) but yea huge +1 on that, it's way more fun

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

we feel u

rorty is always right

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

getting closer tho

so the point about dialectics is not to negate the concept of fact in favour of mediation, or to exaggerate that of mediation; it is simply to say that immediacy is itself mediated but that the concept of the immediate must still be retained.

literally so cute, the lectures are just sweetie pie baby mode

im feeling so nonplussed rn

is my goat washed or did they never have it

osao san is pretty alright tho still

okay i surprised myself, come to mexico is their best album

they're very simple but nemo actions are so cool dude

omg we did anime club part two

i’m on yearntwt, they’re roasting my ass on yearnsky

i’m looking forward to holding her

i’m gna cry i love u so much :(

yay see u soon

i still think about you all the time and it’s really a drag that i never get my words right

i meant it though, you are special to me. i don’t know why i chose to emphasize your uniqueness, its not like thats the reason you’re special to me. i know that whole tone of communicating attachment is not desirable or enjoyable for you, and im sorry that i keep doing it that way

it feels weighty and significant to me and i like expressing that, but it’s selfish since i know you’d prefer it phrased indirectly with more levity. i can do that, it just always feels off, my perception of appeasement is going to be awkward and off-base.

minimally, the cognitive distance involved in the translation nullifies the expression in the first place, so maybe it’s all just better left unsaid anyway. which is fine, clearly i can be okay with that too.

i get myself tangled so easily

i don’t like any of these sentences either ugh

i can’t really explain why i sent you that or why i feel this way

it’s like 50% my unironic opinion that we should just stop doing healthcare

absurdly large economic sector and no one believes anything is elective or optional

it catches a bunch of garbage that trickles in from other systemic failures and it’s all just so ungodly wasteful

i’m a poor conversationalist
