say what you want about psychoanalysis but the two political slogans that are most frying people’s brains in the english speaking world rn are “stop sexualising children” and “what is a woman?”

the fact that Derrida is not seen as the most rigorous and most serious philosopher of our moment is only proof of how utterly philosophy has fallen short of its task

Heidegger, to his students at the University of Freiburg (1951): “It is advisable, therefore, that you postpone reading Nietzsche for the time being, and first study Aristotle for ten to fifteen years.”

is it bad that — despite having read a decent amount of heidegger, and some husserl, merleau-pointy, derrida, etc — i still have very little idea of what “phenomenology” *means*?

Don't listen to Freud! Suppressing your fears or negative thoughts is actually a good idea!
Training people (120 participants from different countries) to suppress their fears had positive effects.

i think the people inside a field usually know more about it
Philosophy as a field shows other signs of delusion. In a survey asking PhD holders to rate fields by brilliance and importance, philosophy was the most narcissistic field.
Most scientists see philosophy as unimportant. That guy arguing otherwise? Probably a philosophy grad.

With due respect, it is thinking, not writing, that is the tool by which we explore the lives of others. Writing is a means of communication. There are real people, myself and others, on both ends.

there needs to be a word — something like “stupid” — which signifies not a slowness or an irrationality of thought, which is no bad thing all told and often compatible with the highest character or creativity, but the wilful deadening and closure of even a quick mind

I’m currently writing an article about body image in the gay community.
do you think it is common for gay men to go to the gym to genuinely improve their health, fitness etc. or is it more to gain that ideal muscular, sexualised body that is so desired in the gay community?

2. why is housing stock “limited” — why hasn’t it expanded with population?
3. why hasn’t this pressure affected older people?
4. why has a 34% increase in population caused a 50% drop in home ownership?

probably intellectually, and even “politically” (in Lacan’s sense), helpful that the term “lacanian” (and to an extent “hegelian”) has come to mean, on here, a watcher of “based Slavoj Zizek funniest moments compilation
