@lov3ony0u lol how old is your mom

[David @ontotheological]

@blexicanasfff you…you’ve made a guy bust in his pants at the strip club before?

[David @ontotheological]

@romanhelmetguy @Th_Angelopoulos I know you’re infamously retarded, but those two statements aren’t contradictions. As the man stated, “the West” is a construct, not a bloodline, and is therefore contingent and subject to change.

[David @ontotheological]

@heshidicjudaism @Sheeteatingrin So I don’t really see a problem with forgoing some political and moral commitments in the name of love. It’s just the unfortunate reality unless you’re one of the few resilient souls that has abandoned romance.

[David @ontotheological]

@heshidicjudaism @Sheeteatingrin I agree it’s just…there’s exploitation behind every industry on the planet. It’s less that I’m advocating for acquiescing to blatantly immoral behavior for the sake of a relationship, and more so saying that everyone *has* to acquiescence to *something* unless you’re an ascetic.

[David @ontotheological]

@heshidicjudaism @Sheeteatingrin I just feel like most people, especially men, don’t have strong enough political commitments to abandon “problematic” behavior that’s a daily comfort to them, and you’ll be searching *forever* for one that does. The best you can ask for is someone who’s self-critical.

no one in academia is cool. absolutely nobody at all.

Including Muhammad as a great law giver but giving him a physical portrait is incredibly #DarkWoke

[David @ontotheological]

@Clitortoise 🤨 I can’t believe that. Proof? (👀)

[David @ontotheological]

@FergusCircus @cold_and_quiet @kareem_carr You’re absolutely retarded man that’s not at all what social construct theory says. No one on planet earth has ever denied a person’s ancestry influences what phenotype their descendants will have.

[David @ontotheological]

@cold_and_quiet @kareem_carr “it’s about whether genetic differences produce avg differences in traits between blacks and whites”

Is this not a circular argument? It rests on whether “black” and “white” are actual existing racial groups with legitimate genetic validity.

[David @ontotheological]

It’s actually crazy that guy has not provided a single substantive argument throughout this entire episode. He replies with some lowbrow quip and a bunch of knuckle-dragging retards give him likes.

[Roman Helmet Guy @romanhelmetguy]

@theo_nash Yes Aristotle was an immigrant. Which is why the Athenians would’ve never ever ever let him vote or hold office or own property, even though he was the smartest guy yet born. Thank you, I was hoping someone would point that out.

Cavanaugh dedicates half the book to proving how market has become the new God

[David @ontotheological]

@symbolscramble I mean yeah it’s a nothing statement if you leave it in a vacuum and refuse to deduce any of other conclusions or interrogate its presuppositions.

[David @ontotheological]

@symbolscramble I think his basic point is that there’s a thin-line between sexual attraction and sexual objectification, and it very well may be the case that there isn’t much of a distinction at all. Bodies are objects (res extensa) and sexual attraction always sexualizes bodies.

[David @ontotheological]

@jatella What do you think of Antigone’s appeal to divine law as a means of undermining Creon’s authority?

[David @ontotheological]

@theFreeman31 This also isn’t anything new. The term “social construct” maybe be new, but the philosophical question around whether our ideas (universals) conform to the objects they reference (particulars) dates as far back as the ancient Greeks.

[David @ontotheological]

@theFreeman31 No one serious denies that social constructs are real. The idea of “money” is real because it has a real impact on people’s livelihoods. But there’s no natural law that says the idea of money is inherent to or bound to the green piece of cloth we call a “dollar.”

[David @ontotheological]

@staciasamaya Take flat-earthers who dismiss the mountains of empirical evidence that prove the earth is in fact round in order to preserve a mistaken belief that it’s flat because they’re skeptical of “lying elites” whose existence we can neither confirm or deny, hence it’s unfalsifiable.

[David @ontotheological]

@staciasamaya I feel you, but there’s rational skepticism and irrational skepticism. Rational skepticism requires evidence in favor of his fabrication, rather than an outright dismissal of evidence to the contrary. Irrational skepticism dismisses evidence without reason and is unfalsifiable.
