It took me a day to realize that it was in fact Marina Vishmidt whose talk on Hegel I saw at a conference just a few weeks ago! She mentioned a book she was writing, on heroism and courage iirc. RIP to an intellectual whose interventions never lacked neither punch nor passion.
RIP Marina Vishmidt. I'm fortunate to know many smart people but Marina always seemed like the brightest kid in the room. Here she is on the left in the unlikely environs of a Clapton FC game with myself and her close friend Anthony Iles.

a good example of this is asking your date if they're a zionist
Maybe one of the greatest virtue insights we can get from Spinoza, maybe not so much in his work but in his life, is that caution (caute) and courage are not opposites. They go very well together, for a courageous person knows how and when to exercise caution.

what's kinda baffling to me is how hyperfocused some of the german 68 students were on adorno ?? how did they arrive at the conclusion that targeting him is a priority ? what was so threatening about public intellectuals and their divergent position on the possibility of praxis?

I think it actually doesn't exist without pejorative connotation but it is too old for many people to still use it or know what it means/meant, bc the n-word is much more common

mario mieli, elements of a homosexual critique:
My contribution to the transgender vs transsexual discourse is that Freud, who coined the term transsexual, uses the term interchangeably with bisexual, and tbh he’s right to do so, which means that many of y’all on your transsexual high horse are lying.
