ugh ick i don’t think i like this paper lev sent me what is feminist logic what do we want it to be

it’s like hella wishy washy and like sure but i also just don’t think it’s very compelling

hey what if feminist logic was anti-exceptional so they’re a science and continuous with math and empirical studies

like we’re really vague and just like here’s a splattering of guys that talk about this

and then there’s this specific logical pluralist angle which is fine enough but i dislike the framing as “deeper indeterminacy of science” when compared to other relativistic schemes. like sure “stem from” is doing a lot of heavy lifting, but it almost seems to imply those couldn’t be fallouts

which ig is a silly concern to have, i’m just not a fan of the science angle and how strict they try to make the pluralism appear, but maybe that’s just my bad read.

maybe i’m just lacking imagination but i have very concrete ideas in mind about how contexts could influence scientific projects but im struggling to see that in the case of logical contexts. like sure we talk about gender and the law of excluded middle and ig that’s fine but

idk it’s just shrugcore and also absurd. i’m also tempted to think it’s a little bit skissue on the part of feminist philosophers for having like bad ideas and being frustrated when they don’t pan out

and like yea, logicbros bad and you have to let the material shape the direction you go, duh. idk i was never really into philosophy of logic so ig i just don’t really care and ill keep on using logic how i need

which is the other small worrying thing with how easy to slip into motivated reasoning this seems

😭😭😭😭😭 please no the pedagogy

dude it’s literally just cursory gesture after cursory gesture

yeah idk i’m gonna be real i think i would die of cringe if my logic 101 course took a class to read plumwood

i probably should have sent an explanation with that cancellation but i didn’t wanna

“yeah im an aristotelian”

i like the implication that there’s a golden mean of sexual orientation, like yea some of you are just too lesbian

garfield i wonder who that’s for dot png

conjuring an analytic aristotelian that gets really excited about spectra and tries to quantize the virtues

alternate timeline where rawls was a virtue ethicist and the economic profession produced a bunch of models on greek concepts they didn’t understand instead

don’t wanna waste our time being the only thing on each others minds

virtues and golden means are a little flat and constraining, gotta proceed dialectically

i’m thinking about this terms of an excess (surfeit?) of instrumentality, and pairing this with “pragmatism is true but it doesn’t work”. like let’s play along for a moment and say that the future presents itself as a telos and we’re acting with nested activities towards that.

sometimes surely that means that acknowledging your telos (in a particular domain?) can be counterproductive. which there isnt really anything mysterious about, it just runs against the grain of most knowledge fetishized approaches.

also i think virtue ethics can avoid the charge of instrumentality (as implied by my use of excess), although i do think we’re somewhat treading into verbal immunization strategies, although not nearly as egregious as the attempt to compatibalize it with consequentialism

it’s just a problem that doesn’t really arise in other worldviews (which counts in favor of VE fwiw). you’re not gonna act immorally by respecting the categorical imperative or maximizing utility too much. like you can spin it but they’re relatively marginal concerns

whereas here i think in maybe even most instances verbalizing an account of what you’re doing and why would be destructive to the practice itself

and weirdly also has a distorting effect, by focusing too much on the nested nature of one’s projects you’re missing out on the other side of virtue ethics that places specific emphasis on practices being goods in themselves

the dangerous habit for me is/was to abstract just a little bit more from the direct experience i had in mind. i over-indulged and frequently made things so vague and indeterminate as to have no useful content whatsoever.

it was useful for making my experience more general and more palatable to an audience while getting the psychological satisfaction of supposedly achieving some higher truth than the menial and boorish truths of the everyday. it was also self-protective by means of obscurity.

your posts were inspirational because they were particular (as opposed to “universal”). they were focused on the mundane everyday (hence nichijou-kei [the specific invocation of which is a reference to my first post]).

"i have always thought that showing that «it is possible (realistically) to think this way» is a better way of describing the goal of philosophy than the usual - and usually also misguided - attempt to show that «it is necessary to think that way»." your posting said “try thinking/doing it this way”

i’m the trans woman equivalent of non-binary lemonade lover

idk how exactly to put this but with a lot of things there simply aren’t second chances, and this applies more as the scale increases

interpersonally things are pretty flexible but when it comes to matters of cultural significance, taking advantage of (or failing to take advantage of) propitious conditions is 1) really hard and fragile 2) really important

i’m kinda thinking atproto

those are two very different types of highlight but i’m in phone and lazy

this is a bad post because it’s socially mindful boooo

dangerous habit

(for me). btw thanks for existing on this account, nichijou-kei particularity-posting inspo

it had been building for some time for sure, but it certainly accelerated. the anxious kind of breaths one takes when trying to shy away from notice, or maybe more accurately between phrases while singing on stage

similar to those kind of performances, some minimal self-consciousness is required for immediate corrective measures (remaining in-tune, on-beat, etc), but meaningful evaluation can only take place retrospectively, with distance, when one’s lungs are full again.

only then can one examine the performance with clarity, and those evaluations might be beyond technical details and extend into choice of song, venue, instrument. perhaps one would prefer to be an audience member or a rugby player. maybe they love music but just need a break.

also to be clear i put myself on stage im not like victim lol. and to drop the metaphor i have behaved pretty shitty to some people while i learned a lot of painful lessons. not trying to flatten things, just noting the relief. not necessarily to affirm the present even, also to draw attention to

the ways in which i was withholding things and being less than forthright, even in the privacy of my own judgement, for quite some time

it was cool tho, fun times
