@Mark75X @mysteriouskat It’s an interesting thing to read the platform of each party. Some real surprises in them.

@Pergament_F Just like life, stories exist where chaos and order meet.

@moonsandhues I am a sick man… I am a spiteful man. I am an unattractive man. I think my liver is diseased. However, I know nothing at all about my disease, and do not know for certain what ails me.

@Hitchslap1 For the average person, the ‘ultra-wealthy buffoon’ and the ‘criminal genius’ are beloved stereotypes. Who doesn’t enjoy feeling superior to the first while secretly identifying with the second?

@PAHoyeck The problem with Marxists is that they boil everything down to economics and then fail to understand economics.

@elonmusk This is what you get when you put people who did great in school in charge of things. If the numbers look good, things are good. Stretch the numbers to fit my reality. Solipsism is the great threat to society.

@wizard_waterloo One would have to be able to read Tolstoy in the original Russian to make a fair comparison.

Well done. I have one question. From the paper it seems you have some conclusions.

1. Only localized actualizations are real.
2. Indexing the actualizations leads to a state of regress.
3. Therefore PA and ME are true.

I would ask, what experience makes you come to that conclusion? Is it a matter of constructing a metaphysical state that submits to its own internal logic?

@friedmanohio I got these from my mom.

Kierkegaard is a tough read, but for the best reason: he’s stretching the outer edges of consciousness itself. paradox, anxiety, the leap. You feel the vertigo.
Zizek, Foucault, and a lot of moderns are difficult for the worst reason: deliberate obtuseness. They dress up fairly ordinary ,sometimes banal, insights in layers of jargon and exceptional case argumentation. It often reads like intellectual justification for a conclusion the heart already reached.
Plato still wins for pure reading pleasure. Hume for sly clarity. The Germans, Kant especially, make you earn it with blood, sweat, and multiple readings.

@MccardJoseph AI is the latest, perhaps terminal , fruit of materialism. We have built an idol in our own image, then bowed to it, hoping it will finally absolve us of the need for a soul.

@r0ck3t23 Solipsism is an almost universal disease.

[Harvey Kettlebell @Cosmicamygdala]

@EmersonsBorako1 Zizek is tiresome Hegelian gobbledegook. Foucault is a criminal abuser.
