i haven't seen anyone else complain about limits nor any mention that they've been lifted, but i assume its 'fine' now ??

yea it’s a thing about technique, mostly, which lots of art-lovers who don’t make art are not versed in.

maybe i’ll do some terribly clever conceptual art and use my ipad as a canvas

i’m good at drawing but suck at procreate, there’s something about not being able to feel the weight and pressure of the tool

I don’t know how correlationism, for ex, captured so many peoples minds since it’s the basic problem of post-Kantian thought. But it coincided nicely with theory-fiction’s attempt to fantasise about the ‘Outside’ without trying to resolve the Kantian problem

As *books* they are caught between wanting to do theory-fiction (in the broadest sense) and scholarly exegesis which is a hard thing to juggle. And in terms of SR I find those problematics to be quaint and dated

i couldn’t tell if it was a joke bc i actually like the guy

It’s a guilty pleasure for sure

it’s too close to friendly fire at this time

you should read husserl, i think you’ll like him

Grant called Laruelle a neo-Platonist. Get his ass @en-demic.bsky.social

Brassier suggests thinking the absolute is properly irreligious insofar as it not limited by the classical theological difference between the finite and the infinite. “The pathos of finitude is the worst kind of religious mystification”

Now listening to this conversation between Grant and Ray Brassier who, in their hilariously different characters, begin by talking about the stigmatisation yet inescapability of thinking the Absolute. https://youtu.be/YSPot3c-zOg

Since it’s likely that Bluesky (unlike Mastodon or whatever) will relatively succeed whether or not Twitter fails. But I think it’s likely we won’t see the absolute end of Twitter. Left in limbo only talking about being in limbo!

You might be interested in reading the end of Beiser’s book on German Idealism (which ends with Schelling, not Hegel), since he also presents the either/or as between the divination of Humanity or the Absolute coming to know itself. But in both cases the particularity of humanity is abolished
