@zanyfen It’s infuriating how much of the intellectual leftist spaces on here seem to be about shooting down low-hanging fruits and then adding “Marx and Freud were Science, actually”

@moonbeeaam Have you soured on Toril Moi, too?

‘Wittgenstein is ahistorical the way Nietzsche is atheistical. (Call these desires for awakening.) And aphilosophical in this way.’

- Stanley Cavell

[Tim Finnegan’s Wakefield Phase @koomatori]

@acidhorizonpod Backström’s contributions to these are also very good

[Tim Finnegan’s Wakefield Phase @koomatori]

These guys. (Maybe skip the Hutchinson piece, he’s never that interesting. and Read can be annoying too)

Also perhaps some of Buber, who’s the other, more remote figure in the background besides W

Who is your favourite "outsider" philosopher (one whom you consider to be a significant thinker, but who is mostly ignored by the mainstream tradition or considered to be beyond the pale of academic respectability)?

[Tim Finnegan’s Wakefield Phase @koomatori]

Fredrik Westerlund is also in the book, I was positively surprised to hear him visit @acidhorizonpod

@GreenRupertRead @DevinGoure @boreddeleuzian Then again, when that happened, *I had quite freshly read Sass*. Who knows if it had been the same if I hadn’t!

@PokkinenAntti @rautakansleri_ @TereSammallahti (Filosofian ei tosin onnekseen tarvitse olla tiedettä kummassakaan mielessä.)

[Tim Finnegan’s Wakefield Phase @koomatori]

@PokkinenAntti @rautakansleri_ @TereSammallahti Tieteillä tosiaan on eroja. Milloin ensimmäinen maahanmuuttokriitikko kuulee, että tiede ei aina tarkoita samaa kuin ”science”, ja että hän ei ymmärrä jälkimmäisestäkään yhtään mitään?

[Tim Finnegan’s Wakefield Phase @koomatori]

@kestinen @gray_sphere Sitä että ÄO mittaisi yhtään mitään, kohtaanhan on olemassa ihan oikeaa ja vakavastiotettavaakin kritiikkiä. Herkullista vaan, että laitaoikeistolle tieteen kyseenalaistamisen implikaatiot eivät todellakaan kelpaisi, ja toisaalta ÄO-pelin pelaamisen implikaatiot ovat nämä

@DevinGoure @boreddeleuzian You’ve already brought it to this house, although it’s still unexamined

[Tim Finnegan’s Wakefield Phase @koomatori]

@DevinGoure @boreddeleuzian We’ll have to disagree then. I just can’t find Sass to be saying anything even tentatively positive about madness, except perhaps as a resource to criticize modern reason. Which is not nothing, but…

[Tim Finnegan’s Wakefield Phase @koomatori]

@DevinGoure @boreddeleuzian That said, a couple of days of solipsistic derealization brought on by a physically mild COVID and a single sleepless and hyper-reflective night was one of the worst and emptiest experiences of my life. I’m not saying Sass & Rupert Read aren’t on to something, as far as it goes.

[Tim Finnegan’s Wakefield Phase @koomatori]

@DevinGoure @boreddeleuzian Even when there’s Sassian stuff, I’ve mostly experienced it as hyper-reflexivity/overthinking carrying me to the border of something alien, or (worse, much worse) a delirious attempt at rationality, an overflowing of inner monologue as a panic reaction to a strike of madness.

[Tim Finnegan’s Wakefield Phase @koomatori]

@DevinGoure @boreddeleuzian Well yes, there are dangers to everything, including madness (esp. trying to control it when that no longer works)—why do you think it’s more dangerous than (AI-influenced) sanity? I think being held captive by “Narcissus’s image” is bad. Why are madpeople more susceptible to it?

@adastroworld @virgil_30 @doxntme Also formerly my second and final therapist. The nicest old man I’ve ever met, with nothing of the typical psychiatrist’s dogmatic authoritarianism, hard or soft. We often ended up just debating he right way to read Wittgenstein and it was all the better for it

[Tim Finnegan’s Wakefield Phase @koomatori]

@adastroworld @virgil_30 @doxntme I’ve only ever heard women self-diagnose “daddy issues” when it’s been just about age and like, steadiness, maybe some sort of guidance. Last time it was a friend of a friend re: sending her therapist unsolicited nudes
