Philosophy 1: Wittgenstein was a beery swine who was just as sloshed as Schlegel

[MissThundercat]

I've always felt that the world doesn't push me at all. It's that I push and the world just dumbly resists. But once I learn the contours of the world I can slide around to where I wanted to be by a different route.

But for me at the intersection of trans woman and recovering addict, there is a push. I've learned though that existing loudly and recovering loudly is the best rebellion.

Yesterday marked 4 years on hormones. Started March 14, 2018. The difference between day 1 and today is undeniable.

I thought this was appropriate:
For if there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life.- Camus

 

[Kepler]

Almost there

Dunning-Kruger's Basilisk: if you do not actively engage in bringing about the existence of the dumbest idea possible, then you will be retroactively destroyed by the idea as punishment.

I just stay really busy, really burned out, but I persist.

Whatever works.

I see what you did there.

What are Sartre and Camus up to?

Save yourself 50 hours:

This is good.

More difficult but worth it if you have the time. Jump to 15:00.

If you're the kind of person who runs ultramarathons, here's 9 hours of Hegel, Zizek, sniffling, and so on.

This is exactly what it's like, for 800 pages. (sound needed)

If I were to pirate a book on ethics, would that be bad?

Not this guy's.

Look at Stirner, look at him, the peaceful enemy of all constraint.
For the moment, he is still drinking beer,
Soon he will be drinking blood as though it were water.
When others cry savagely "down with the kings"
Stirner immediately supplements "down with the laws also."
Stirner full of dignity proclaims;
You bend your willpower and you dare to call yourselves free.
You become accustomed to slavery
Down with dogmatism, down with law.
