But objects have relations to other objects. What is the nature of these relations? Ironically, by viewing it as if it is an "object that a human perc...
Putting aside your own "incredulous stare" at the mere idea: a) emergentism has no observer, just added clutter to the simples. b) panpscyhism has the...
Third time's a charm! Emergence needs to take place with an observer. Otherwise it is just simples doing what they do (mereolgoical nihilism- arrangin...
Yeah, this is more-or-less what I was trying to say. The joyful nihilist is not free of the modern superstructure. It is just one reaction or "role" t...
Hmm, not sure about hierarchy. In the idea that no level of experience is more privileged? Anyways, it is more like mereological nihilism. Emergentism...
Emergentism is as odd, prima facie, as panpsychism in the context of a metaphysical phenomenon. "Wet" is a property only at a certain epistemological ...
People train themselves to do this. Most socially-enculturated humans without developmental issues get bored. It's a fact. Just because certain people...
Yeah I've read one or two of his books. I generally agree, though not necessarily my brand of pessimism. Still laudable. I'll check out the video. So ...
Granted, there is a freeing aspect to post-modernism's dedication against meta-narratives, what I am saying is that it doesn't solve anything against ...
I think the literary critique has been there or a long time. Look at Voltaire's Candide and other satires, or example. You can go back to Aristophanes...
I'm getting that. I guess you figured out the source of all the problems. You seemed to have not even attempted to discuss minutia-mongering as it rel...
Can you elaborate on this? It almost sounds like these people are beyond deliberative capabilities, not just merely ignorant. Then what are we talking...
Oh, I still hold the position. And why the scream? Ha, please give us the secret! To be fair, there is no reason not to be antinatalist, I don't know ...
On a broader tangent, I think a lot of conservative ideas are post-modern actually. Look at the defense of Trump. Many people well say, look "Bill Cli...
It seemed you were saying more than that :smirk: . Yes one thread among many is what I'm saying as well (at least how post-modernism characterizes alm...
Yes, I agree with that youtube comment as well and as you say is "a little too quick and easy". At the end of the day, the show is not the person watc...
It's not taking any grand narratives seriously . It's a boogeyman as it lurks behind all sincere claims. An ironic and cynical skewer against your har...
Ok, this might be a sin against all social media, but I am going to quote the first comment on this video's comments section in YouTube, because I act...
:lol: .. I am not accusing you of nicking the YouTube video.. I just instantly saw a parallel there when I saw what you wrote.. Here is the video I wa...
Yes, I can't see post-modernism working in anything other social situatedness, It just has nothing useful to say about "modern" themes like science, t...
Great analysis overall. I'm going to evince my own "look at the camera/eye roll" moment now and mention that I remember seeing a video about (the very...
Here's my take: Post-modernism is a total willingness to deconstruct. Usually this leads to themes like irony or absurdity. Why? Because when you deco...
Ironic as the child cannot by mere fact of its non-existence be asked consent, but it is assumed that it is ok to have it. Tsk.Tsk. As an ardent antin...
Interesting, but things like the Arche-fossil and such seem like it goes to straight Kantianism, not social constructivists. Constructivists don't nec...
Can you provide the context of this? If it is a return, what was the original (I'm thinking Logical Positivism?). If it was a breaking away, then what...
I'm game.. Can anyone differentiate "Speculative Realism" from just "Realism" or even "Neo-Realism" besides that it is newer, a new neologism of sorts...
Assisted suicide should be a valid and legal option. However, suicide in general is a different topic than not procreating. One can recommend not proc...
Yep. Won't argue with you there. Your typical objection would be "But what about the average life that is more balanced perhaps than the ones with fam...
It is probably from both sides. One feels the need to stare, gaze. The other feels the need to be gazed perhaps. As others have said, the problem only...
So we are again back to nature in the debate of nature vs. nurture. And I was so happy on keeping it nurture :lol: . I focused on the revealing/concea...
We have very little control over it. Much of what we have now is historical contingency. We cannot change historical contingency. Marx, for example tr...
It absolutely has a purpose beyond us. Institutions are often created from historical contingencies and then the cultures surrounding those institutio...
Well, now you are going into well-trodden areas of my core philosophy. I'm an antinatalist.. so the more we can catalyze less procreation, the better....
No, I'm agreeing with you, that that might be more-or-less the narrative. My only difference is that I think culture indeed helps create direction/imp...
Yes, somehow they do. It's not hard why sex differences do.. If a culture wants sexual attraction to be a thing, then society can help this along by t...
Yes, exactly. I did mention that perhaps it's because these body parts are the "other". But that gets diminished with exposure, as you are saying too,...
