That too!

What a game.

Wtf

Allez les bleus!!

I wasn't talking about the reviews.

Mm, its much easier to wax nostalgic for 'lost knowledge' than it is to actually engage in argument. A favorite strategy of facists everywhere.

Mm, I never said anything about 'getting it right' so dunno what you're on about.

I can't remember where I read it but this is a genuine phenomenon - something like 'status symbol creep': as status symbols of the rich become more wi...

Ah, but the working class are just temporarily embarrassed elites Baden. So really you're hurting the working class.

There's an fun Zizekian analysis to be made here. One of Zizek's long running themes is that what binds communities together are shared secrets and 'i...

*squeals*. The world would be a better place if people read more Connolly! Also - this kind of thing, where one is persuaded not at the level of belie...

Discussion for the sake of persuasion has always been the least interesting and least significant part of participation in a forum like this. The inte...

Aden Evens - Logic of the Digital :up:

Yeah, the shots on goal tell the story of who deserved that one at the end of the day.

I blame Boris.

The natural order of things is restored. :(

For the love of God someone give him a decent haircut tho

Woaaah

Does anyone know what that stupid horn melody is that the English crowd always plays? Is it a thing? Or is it just a British vuvuzela thing?

Sweet summer lamb, you think there is hope!

The OP is a fine series of entirely unargued-for assertions. Shame there is nothing to discuss as a result.

:cry: *eats words*

Noooooo

I may be made to eat my words but Belgium are making France look like a bunch of amateurs (with the exception of Lloris who is characteristically kill...

Am so down for a Belgium win. Bloody 4AM here tho.

Jesus that put voices in my head.

Random thought: Questions like 'what is real?' or 'what is meaning?' come off as though asked by someone who isn't very good at English. Like some Eas...

Giorgio Agamben - Karman: A Brief Treatise on Action, Guilt, and Gesture If you have to pick one, which would you recommend?

Significance.

"When the word causa—starting from Aristotle’s definition of the four types of cause: material, formal, efficient, and final— becomes a fundamental te...

That's fuckin cool!

Wait is that gin from the band????

Goodbye Sweden.

I agree with this so far as it goes, but I wonder just how far it does. After all, are we not already operating in the sphere of 'is' claims here? Tha...

I have to admit I've been puzzling a bit over Sellars' wording in the bit I've quoted re: "an episode or a state... of knowing", which, it's true, doe...

Yeah, Sellars was super influenced by Witty, although he does diverge with him on some issues. What I like about the Sellarsian take is that he provid...

It takes a philosopher to say this. So much the worse for philosophers.

The conversation is disanalogous. John was wrong about the color of the tie. He did not know what color it was. One wonders if your interlocutor knows...

An odd distinction.

But he was only asked about the color of the tie simpliciter. And he was wrong.

But John's knowledge of the color of the tie is - or was - wrong. The tie is not blue.

What else would you have him do?

Maybe, maybe not. But one knows or does not know the color of the tie. Does one know it's 'properties'? Seems like a bunch of philosophical sky-castli...

No one is asking about 'properties'. Just the color of a tie.

An odd distinction.

Normativity.

Claire Colebrook - Blake, Deleuzian Aesthetics, and the Digital Seb Franklin - Control: Digitality as Cultural Logic

So basically a power trip then.

This is all great (sorry for late response - been busy!). Actually alot of it reminds me - and helps me put into starker relief than I was previously ...
