Gay men will talk nonstop for 3 days, share their childhood trauma, favorite positions, and Spotify playlists… just to disappear like it was a limited-time funko pop 🤒

the times are biblical so in order to stop my excessive temptation towards religious imagery, i’m becoming a Jungian.

It's funny because Simon Leys said exactly this about Said's Orientalism

Part of Habermas's program was to provide a model of intellectual work that was not esoteric (Heidegger and in a different way Adorno) but exoteric and democratic. This also entailed dethroning philosophy from its perch and having it interact with the less exalted discourses.

What is so interesting is the general rejection of Nietzsche's thought that we ought to honor our enemies. I learned so much from figuring out where Habermas or someone like Rorty went wrong (by my lights). In respecting them, I respect myself.

RIP Jurgen Habermas, one of the greatest thinkers of our era and a warm human being. His work brought intellectual rigor, moral commitment, analytic clarity and extraordinary command of the history of philosophy to crucial issues from democracy and political legitimacy to public

unpopular take: great philosophers don't make good political actors. we know this from countless examples. philosophy first needs to be judged on its own merits , by the standards it sets up for itself. only then can we diagnose its political failures.

a rant about the fate of “theory” in the social sciences and my deep frustration and anger.

The idea that critical theory or the FS has come to some kind of end because of Habermas's stance on Gaza or his liberalism strikes me as a failure to appreciate how traditions develop/change. There's a sense in which German Idealism is more alive now than in the 1790s.
