I think it's upstreams all the way down. I had missed the possibility that, yes, while stances and beliefs about matters of fact consist of intentions...

I read BG&E, Genealogy of Morals and Zarathustra years ago. I enjoyed them.

I implore you to release that syphilitic mustachoid from your heart.

God damn man, put the Nietzsche down and go outside.
March 18, 2025 at 15:12
Some people have reported that not working in the past. I rewrote this post three times and it didn't recall this second sentence on one of them. The ...

No option for it on the back end. Can't be implemented.
March 18, 2025 at 13:13
I think the following is an option - upstream, downstream and alongside relations are allowed between stances and evidence, it just so happens that th...

Yes. Who would've thought the rulers of the republic would be reading Foucault.
March 17, 2025 at 16:40
Great OP and interesting paper. Before I go off half cocked, I was wondering if Chakravartty or Pincock have any writings about how one might adapt on...

Just generally that marketers are reading about the creation of subjectivities and epistemes as a fundament to their study.
March 17, 2025 at 12:18
What was it?
March 17, 2025 at 12:17
I called your idea it. I have plenty of ideas like that. Sorry for hurting your feelings.
March 15, 2025 at 01:06
Yeah. And it surprises me that you believe how stuff happens has no bearing on how we can, or should, talk about how stuff happens. It's an incredibly...
March 14, 2025 at 13:39
I think you misunderstand me. What I'm saying is that if someone has some metaphysical idea, and if that idea tells you something about how stuff happ...

A real "scales dropped from my eyes" moment was learning that Foucault was part of some marketing classes.
March 13, 2025 at 10:39
I think that's over general. If we're aware that a coercion, addiction, or being inebriated impacts someone's capacity for choice, then studying how c...
March 12, 2025 at 12:26
Seems about right. Also seems about right. I'm willing to bet how I used "should" is how you used "must". I'm sure we're both aware that what must hap...

Yeah we use AI leveraged SEO for pre-blitz scoping of consumer trendsetters and market bottlenecks. It's just how it's done.
March 10, 2025 at 23:00
The Unwomanly Face of War, Svetlana Alexievich goes into these norms in quite some detail. Even though it's about women in WWII, some of which were pa...

Yes. Protein branded food. It's fucking everywhere. Protein chocolate, protein sandwiches blah blah. Tescos here has "protein wraps", which are both l...
March 10, 2025 at 20:35
Yeah I think it fits your theory somewhat well. I don't think it fits the narrative you're criticising very well. It seems a vestige of a more gender-...
March 10, 2025 at 17:49
I think the point you made in the OP is rather important. There was a recent poll in the UK which showed that around 40% of high schoolers believed th...
March 10, 2025 at 16:49
The ideas you expressed approval of, through Kant, are very Christian though. While his views on the matter had {at best} a mixed reception from theol...
March 10, 2025 at 09:01
I think you're assuming that "free will" is a space of concepts, whereas it's a fairly demarcated one in public parlance. People think of a self causi...
March 09, 2025 at 19:57
Yeah. At least you know what you're smoking.
March 09, 2025 at 19:40
I just have a take. 1) Free will as a concept arose as a response to the theodicy. AFAIK this is just true. As a concept it was never meant to make se...
March 09, 2025 at 17:18
Aye. I think it's quite clear at this point that "free will" as a concept is a theological atavism. The body's volitional processes are nothing like a...
March 09, 2025 at 14:05
Yeah. The account of choice where a choice is an experiential component of an action is just an instance. The action in the OP is the body's evolving ...
March 09, 2025 at 05:58
Nice. That's the flavour of account I gestured toward with my response earlier. The further Z being a functional state of the body, the choice to kick...
March 09, 2025 at 04:17
Oh, "creates and sustains". Every time you see the phrase "in and through". "Posited and presupposed". All the same shit.
March 08, 2025 at 16:10
Feedback isn't reciprocal causality. On the level of a system feedback relationships occur sequentially from one variable at time t to another variabl...

People in general will make token gestures but likely won't organise, or otherwise do what is necessary, to change things.
March 08, 2025 at 12:06
Can you stop tagging me in these things please. I'll comment on them if they interest me at the time. Thanks.
March 07, 2025 at 21:33
Oh boy.
March 07, 2025 at 21:00
Nice post. I want to add 4. to that list: 4. Neither dream X nor event Y can be said to cause the other. The relation between X and Y is not a causal ...
March 07, 2025 at 15:23
Glad somebody is. Ah well, at least the news is exciting.
March 07, 2025 at 14:45
Apparently the answer to the OP is "rearm". @"Benkei" you doing alright?
March 07, 2025 at 14:30
Does anyone have any idea whether this tidal wave of shit is malice done incompetently or incompetence done maliciously? The news has been a multiple ...
March 07, 2025 at 00:12
Ah right. I hear rage along the grapevine these days, no longer involved in research. My recent exposure to it {in person} has been in addiction studi...
March 02, 2025 at 18:59
I've run out of steam for now. Thanks for the excellent discussion.
March 02, 2025 at 18:41
I don't understand how you can construe the post-phenomenological heritage a minor paradigm when it's quite hegemonic. It isn't hegemonic everywhere i...
March 02, 2025 at 14:16
The following inference: If I construe the spirit of an obligation as "engendering the kind of world that obligation seeks to create" and the obligati...
March 02, 2025 at 08:38
Yes. Even though the central "destructions" in the critique have been elaborated in secondary and tertiary literature for years. I want to say as the ...
March 02, 2025 at 07:22
Well no wonder the paper is hard to read.
March 01, 2025 at 23:25
Unconditioned meaning foundational to perspective?
March 01, 2025 at 22:13
It seems to me you're describing a psychological difference, rather than a perceptual or epistemological one. Like it's a core belief. It is, and they...
March 01, 2025 at 21:40
Not all of this vitriol is aimed at you @"Joshs", I've just been reading this for over a decade and I'm sick of having it explained to me like I've ne...
March 01, 2025 at 19:10
Every single thing which is said has those caveats! There's no extra information in the post-phenomenological gloss you provided. You've either got th...
March 01, 2025 at 16:37
That translates to "a thing which was said".
