The Germans cannot be trusted with a nation-state
I'm trying to learn German but whenever i check a German news site, the entire front page is bombarded with "terror-group Hamas attacks peaceful Israeli citizens."
It's fucking excruciating.
Man I wish I could have known the public universal friend. Absolute ledg
That's... that's always been the point, yes. I mean the word itself means love of wisdom, which is quite literally thinking well.
All specialised disciplines of inquiry are downstream of and emerge out of philosophy, and any self-reflexive internal dialogue within these disciplines is inherently philosophical.
Most languages don't make the hard difference between Science and Philosophy like we do in English, and trying to sustain the difference in any absolute sense is basically impossible.
Philosophy is just radically open thought: the willingness to investigate seriously and update one's views, and, as best as possible, to keep one's ego out of what one finds.
No one likes effective altruistists, least of all most academic philosophers. They're a punchline.
Not that this in any way undermines my point. It's very anti intellectual to point at one shit philosophical movement and wash one's hands of the responsibility of thinking.
And yeah it's so fucking expensive to go private. Main reason I haven't.
Jesus, they can do that?
I'm going to crucify the GP
Man, as a recent immigrant and trans person, dealing with Britain's healthcare system is possibly the most exhausting and degrading thing I've ever dealt with.
It do be like that sometimes. What a lot of people don't realise is that everyone has a metaphysics, the question is have you interrogated it, thought it through etc.
As always, the alternative to philosophy is not no philosophy, but instead really bad philosophy.
I feel the same way about theology and religion: whether people like it or not, the religious impulse is a cultural universal. Do we utilise it for good, or surrender the territory without a fight to religious conservatives?
I love the based tiny Swedish lady
