I argue about Aesthetic Relativism. I also like philosophy.

@Swag_K1RBY I'll have you know that trying to understand Mario lore is a discipline that rivals quantum physics

@silverstarcloud I don't think it's fair to call historical figures evil. This is very presentist.

@yacineMTB I like Spiderman but a CAR SHOULD NOT FUCKING DO THIS. FUCK THIS SHIT

@catslashmouse @fractalcounty "convincing mass shooters / suicidal people" you genuinely sound like a boomer. This is the same reasoning as saying "video games cause violence"

[John Altman @JohnAltman71213]

@Benthepigg @fractalcounty Terence Tao and Linus Torvalds. A lot of mathematicians and computer scientists. Unless you're going to use No True Scotsman here.

@KeyTryer D and C.

Software is garbage AND accelerating.

@kiefsherwoodlvr @yuzu_4ever They probably think "tech bros" are those dumbass Silicon Valley types. In reality, most ai people are computer nerds.

[John Altman @JohnAltman71213]

@yuzu_4ever Eh, I'm no mathematician (I'm actually a programmer), but I love math and am an amateur.

I don't think tech bros are being mean to mathematicians but rather luddites.

Also wrong. Mathematicians have more in common with tech bros than artists.

@Howlingmutant0 I can't say if it's true that Israel did this, and I'm not saying that they're necessarily wrong, but what do the far left and far right disagree on nowadays?

[John Altman @JohnAltman71213]

@iron_redux Mathematicians contribute much much more to society though. I think AI could actually help mathematicians a lot.

@Milo_H4 Performative horny is getting real annoying

@MatthewTanous @cairoasmith First, you're asserting that God teleology is metaphysically different from humans. That has a lot of metaphysical baggage. But sure.

The categorical imperative "You ought to do X" does not necessarily follow from "God created you to do x"

@CatherineJCMcK I'm not making excuses. I've participated in lots of talk page discourse. I was exaggerating when I said it was all of my changes.

[John Altman @JohnAltman71213]

@CatherineJCMcK If you're wondering, no, this isn't in any controversial political pages nor are my edits purely subjective. Most of them are corrections of definitions. Some work, some don't. Idk what to tell you.

@Prassien_ Genghis Khan had so much aura. We need more media about the mongols and the places they conquered.

[John Altman @JohnAltman71213]

@MinModulation The philosophical foundations of aesthetics is to blame for this. You can circlejerk all you want about fine art and look down on normies but if the masses don't like it your "fine art" will die.

Video Game music will likely be fine art in the future.

[John Altman @JohnAltman71213]

@marc1202 Great subjective opinion, man. I sure do hope that you don't pass it off as objective or look down on people who like it.

[John Altman @JohnAltman71213]

@golblastscholar @RegimerIlan Perhaps, but also perhaps not. Epicurus stated that where death is, we are not. Perhaps living just isn't for everyone, considering that we are birthed without our consent.

Now, this isn't to say we ought to encourage it, I think it's better if we make living conditions better.

@ModRightPatriot Nostalgia 🥲🥲🥲

@reddit_lies Wear a suit, don't be fat, and most importantly, don't be ugly.
