Despise academics sobbing over the Brown scandal. Completely worthless people. 100 years ago you were powerful enough to create Heideggarian worlds, but through your continued neglect and impotence your students have no reverence for you or your institution.
You just increasingly end up selecting for raped shapeshifters and the only valued intangible becomes sociably.
A dormant Rohmer, a Godard remains dead when the hive necessitates a response to the “idgi.. but why,�� w/ the pic related stare.
For me, the most serious condemnation of democracy is the fact that evaluating character/ability is now always relegated to a metric or a set of rubric criteria so that the evaluation can(must) be comprehensible to all.
Now midwits with high pain tolerance are gifted an accessible bitesized manufactured ideal to contort their personality around. And any nuanced context dependent methods, capable by the few, lose most legitimacy because they’re unable to be standardized.
@TheAutumnalFire Dislike the disregarding of empirical influence; "pull yourself up by your bootstaps/it's all autonomy." Nietzsche's description of creative brilliance as an opening of phenomenal pores is greater than Emerson's conception which is rooted in vulgar "hardwork > beauty" as an idea.
W/ globalization of thought through web, there is little room for any creative dissent. The normalfag now has historically unprecedented leverage. Where prior, NF had to heed the unknown, 'tis no longer necessary. He will inevitably pull all those trying to resist into the vortex
@IdoHerling@Zommervogel Do you know of any papers from anthropic hired philosophers that even briefly address or critique a phenomenological approach? Claude gave me nothing
@TheAutumnalFire Skimmed less-wrong articles that address Dreyfus and I don't see anything that refutes him, much less any evidence they understand of the foundation he was operating with. They're so devoid of any sensitivity, its in their interest to autoreject a structure that gives it value.
@Inertium I better see what you're attacking. Still, as you noted, I don't know if you can make a clear conceptual distinction between the pervert-freak and the self-deprecating simp beyond the former having a better sense of humor.
@Inertium If it's done in a manner beyond tiresome leftist snark the creative strength of the self-depreciating joke will give a noble valance to the subject's character for those w/ eyes to see: e.g., Norm,Mutant.
@Inertium The ironic humor stuff is case by case -- the value of it in the content. But the sentiment that you should restrict humor b/c others might perceive the joke as humiliating, is a gyno way of forming values. "I won't follow a creative impulse b/c the majority will see me as x."
@yuzu_4ever “Be urself, use concepts to describe art, look at more art.” Come on
Also, not only did he miss the point of the Benjamin essay, but gave the least interesting misinterpretation you could have of the essay.
@Zommervogel I don’t know if it’s the limited knowledge that’s required but rather the inability to mimic the manner in which Dasein receives sensory data to propel a novel discovery. “Sensitivity” seems necessary for novelty.
All closeted homos have their intuitive sense completely irrevocably shot through. Instinct is completely submerged and the smarter ones compensate by dealing extensively in inherited signs.
Nobody has any deep conceptual understanding of 'human capital' beyond irresponsibly absorbed iq categories. @miltonappl3 on metaphor identification/curation, and Anthony on sensitivity. Two of the most important ideas that deserve to be analytically elucidated.
Don't like TLP's belief in narcissism's cultural reach. There is a productive "vital," self curating and a weak deceptive form of self-curation. TLP vitriolically emphasizes the deception of the latter w/ examples and then expands his label (+ the dsm5ism of it) to the former.
