I would like to apologize first of all for liking a skeet, and second of all for being bad at apologies.

I'm not good at the social stuff. I empathize only by selfishly imagining myself in the other's place - but that's no excuse. And it's inexcusable that I'm starting by making excuses. (1/8)

Kant avec Sade was undoubtably great. I wish there had been something like a Hegel avec Gödel though...

the world would not absolutely be better if more people read hegel. it might even be worse, if hegel is so needed.

but I would like to see a shadow of that world anyway, and so I live.

woke up feeling down but received a compliment and now I'm better. aristotle really was spitting that shit when he said humans are social animals or whatever

the proper solution to nihilism (the sensation that things don't matter) is not to insist naively on something really mattering, but to realize that it doesn't matter if things don't matter.

"the universe doesn't care about you."

but why should one care about what the universe cares about?

Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies, describing them at one point as “targets.” The website lists mostly Black employees.

the notion of a linear arrangement of politics (socialists as left, liberals as center, conservatives as right) doesn't take into account the triangularity of these positions:

conservatives hate socialists for being too liberal, and liberals hate socialists for being too conservative.

the American anti-nationalist to Canadian patriot pipeline is real

conservatives privilege signified over signifier, while liberals privilege signifier over signified.

no need to elaborate on this, really.

Today's Super Supportive chapter was amazing.

“Here,” said Alden. “Take this.”

Natalie reached up to touch her interface. “Are you trying to pay me to cook for you again?” she asked when she saw the argold he’d sent her.

“Always. But not with this."

My formula for Deleuze's pure difference is to reject the principles of identity (A = A) and non-contradiction (A =/= ~A) as negative chains of reason.

Then, we get something non-identical (A =/= A) and contradictory (A = ~A), which is positive pure difference.

Deleuzians, is this correct?
