This is spectacularly ignorant. Up your game.

Lingonberries are the new cranberries.

I appreciate this part of your comment. :up:

I’ve done that, but I can still see it when logged in. This is either because the way permissions work makes it impossible to have a thread that only ...

That’s even better than Baden’s idea. I should be able to achieve that by putting it in a new category with custom view permissions.
May 31, 2023 at 10:38
That’s a pretty good idea. If we’re going to do anything about this, that’s probably what we should do.
May 31, 2023 at 10:31
I have long agonized over that issue, and you are to be commended for your suggestion, but I don't think those threads should be amalgamated. I often ...

I don’t know much about Christian theology but this doesn’t look right. Jesus is God in human form, and not God tout court. When Jesus died, God as su...
May 28, 2023 at 16:42
That’s pure theology, so it probably wouldn’t make a good OP. I suspect that Trinitarian Christians have several elaborate and subtle answers—and my g...

I’m not done here. I’m a member of some online book groups and there are endless stupid arguments pro- and anti-Kindle. I don’t intend to repeat that ...

Ebooks are real and ebooks are books.

On the contrary, I found it exuberant and fun, and dense only in its profusion of monstrous detail.

In Perdido it only happens at moments but not generally, as I recall.
May 28, 2023 at 04:06
Of the books of his I’ve read, the Bas-Lag books have stuck in the memory the most, and Perdido is the first of those. I think I’ll probably re-read i...

May 27, 2023 at 14:41
Yes. However, I’m wary of answers that go something like this: lonely young men are being turned into misogynists by reactionary patriarchal ideology,...
May 27, 2023 at 07:00
Yes, that makes sense, although I doubt this is always present before joining up. Intuitively I’d expect some of them to join while still thinking the...

I think that in the first two Titus books, the plot is crucial, an indispensable skeleton. With Perdido, it seems like the story either doesn’t matter...
May 26, 2023 at 20:20
I didn’t like the way it degenerated into a monster hunt. The world building was great, the plot, not so much. It felt a bit like an action movie: fas...

It's political correctness gone mad! Is it another example of what Adorno referred to as pseudo-activism, where what matters is the badges you wear, t...

But this goes against the idea that we seem to have taken for granted, that misogyny is a result of a lack of success with women. What you’re saying h...

They were cancelled?

But there is reason to have sympathy for young men at risk of becoming part of that subculture. Just like Islamic radicalism.
May 23, 2023 at 22:15
So the interesting thought here, which I think someone else has expressed in this discussion already, is that what is lacking is shame. In a closely-k...

Not sure I do either.

Nietzsche could have been an incel, but he wasn’t that boring. It’s partly thanks to him that we can identify this certain kind of resentment (ressent...

May 23, 2023 at 20:25
Good analysis. I suspected it was a different use, but it wasn’t clear in my mind until you clarified it, thereby hitting the nail on the head and the...
May 23, 2023 at 20:21
I agree, that’s a start. It’s also a form of identity politics, which is another interesting dimension.

No, it’s not about moralizing, it’s about understanding what is going on. This is explicit in the OP. It is important what the reasons are, because it...
May 23, 2023 at 19:58
Maybe this is because most philosophy is bad philosophy.
May 23, 2023 at 19:54
I can relate to a lot of what you say. What disturbed me were the intrusive alien thoughts that I disagreed with, the misogyny in embryo. Maybe you’re...
May 23, 2023 at 19:39
The OP need not comprehensively describe or define incels, since it’s a pretty well-known subculture notorious for its abusive and sometimes violent m...
