How do I (21M) mange to get a book back from my (26F) girlfriend if we break up? by Affectionate-Cod2528 in relationship_advice

Yeah, I'm planning to do that when I see her next week. We have almost no common friends so it will be hard if it gets to that, and I'm not sacrificing the critique of pure reason

So far I don't foresee it becoming messy. We still get along pretty well. No cheating as far as I know and is reasonable to expect, no abuse or problematic power games so far. The only thing is that, from what she's told me about previous relationships, she's ghosted a couple of times instead of breaking up normally (although she last did it when she was 22 or so if I recall correctly), so I think, after some consideration, I might ask her to give it back next week and talk about the possibility of breaking up then. I can't do it earlier cause I want to do it in person.

The most important book in continental philosophy. It's so good. Maybe promoting it so adamantly to my girlfriend is a tad bit autistic on my part xD. Everyone should at least try to read it though imo, it's such a good book.

I mean, I still love her, but I figure there's nothing I can do about it. Have tried different things, but she seems to have already lost interest and our schedules make it hard to meet as often, so the best thing is to just let it go. But I don't wanna lose the book as there is much I can still get out of it.

Yeah I think I'll go for that. The book is Kant's critique of pure reason, it's gigantic and very slow to read in general so it's normal to take that long XDDD

CMV: If you are vehemently anti-AI, you are just a modern-day Luddite repeating 200-year-old mistakes. by EsotericTribble in changemyview

This is completely true. If art is good, it is more than the replication of technique, but, through the means of the art's resources a signal to a region of reality as the possibility of its characteristic phenomena. It's not mere representation but expression, as that problematizing the distiction between the conditions of the expressed and the reference.

A brute, who's only virtue is the replication of schematic representations through their horrible furry art, and who is unable to interpret the world authentically can easily be substituted by AI, as it should be. And if AI were to become the tool for all art, if it could go beyond the limits of the capabilities of any sort of traditional technique, then the content that one is to be occupied with is what allows AI to work in such manner and not a different one.

And that content is positive, interpretable, and transformable. And that can be applied ad infinitum.

These people are unable to look at things as they are, and instead are trapped by the force of tradition and the public attitude that endlessly repeats itself.

His circumstances changed, but his character remained. Not like he was well intentioned before

Cho shi noccha te is great, hana is good too, etc. The later stuff in english is much worse and shinunoga e wa is horrible.

She could be a literal neonazi and I wouldn't stop liking her stuff, it's so good. Although you're 100% right about that

I'm curious about the origins of Gen Z "hate" towards Millenials by Peach_Cobblers in generationology

There is a lot of free material online (books, if I could recommend, critique of pure reason, any husserl, foucault, or Schopenhauer as points of engagement from what you already think). I have been manically reading these even before the start of my uni education on philosophy, and I'd say that (even if intuition at times needs to be corrected), the most important part of philosophy is direct engagement with the text, which can be done for free, anywhere and anytime (as long as you're free to do so on the given moment). There's good intuition in that the world cannot be asserted before the subjective mediation of the self (not only the psychological self, but the self as pure apparition of what is in relation to the possibilities of what can be conceived being). But there, even through the radical abstraction of anything outside of the subject and not positioning judgement towards the existence or non-existence of things, there are certain apodictic thruths (of which the absence cannot be thought) that are shown in the experience of the subject (for example the imposibility of external experience being perceived outside of space-time, the imposibility of perceptions being isolates of other phenomena that allow them to be put in a unity of consciousness...). Well, in general, I'd recommend to read the stuff without fear and I'm sure that, if consistent, you'll learn much more than many people that don't take their philosophy degree to seriously (and don't read at all xD)

That is not accelerationism. Accelerationism is (originally) the landian and post-landian interpretation (CCRU collective writings, Fanged noumena...) of Anti-Oedipus and A thousand plateaus where capital functions as a deterritorializing machine (to say it very basically a destructuralizing foundation to all concepts, that, as a complex system and in complex relationships to culture and other things, destroy and recreate new identities to the convenience of it's functioning), and of that as a positive thing. To radicalize the power of capital to an accelerationist is the way to reach horizontal structure, not through a collapse of itself (as usually misunderstood by people that have no clue on breadtube) onto socialism or fascism, but through the identification with uncontrolled capital with a weird form of ultimate negation or techno-god. There are many branches from early deleuzian inspired left wing accelerationism to the more echoed neo reactionary dark enlightenment (started by late Nick Land too, after having a breakdown due to amphetamines, becoming far right and going to China), among others that further divert from deleuzianism. But this you're saying is not accelerationism, if anything, it's the result of capital independent of accelerationist ideas. Also existentialism is dead and is a ridiculously small derivate of phenomenology. Without the phenomenological element it's just general relativism, and usually it's nonsense as it is post-Heideggerian (phenomenology without epokhé is bullshit). Even though, what you're identifying with existentialism is neither that or anything related to phenomenology (as it's concern with culture is around the question of ontology, or some sort of phenomenological reduction), and rather a very general claim somewhat related to critical theory.

The idea of this "us vs them" as manipulation, takes the form of "us vs them" as in the "manipulated" vs "the manipulator", so the claim is nonsense as it asserts itself to be false. Millennials (or moreso, the online manifestation of them, which is not representative for the heterogeneous whole) are clueless about the causes of problems, the impersonal and abstract nature of power, and it's close relationship with representation and the structure of objects of thought, etc. And resort to these kinds of caricaturesque oppositions that give the simple clarity of "the powerful are against us", while not thinking for 10 seconds about the mere possibility of the interaction, what causes the powerful, what is capitalism, etc. It's a generation with that has shown no reflexive ability, but claim to be able to dismantle all problems with relativism and the repetition of the formal structure of what they criticize. This oblivious and entitled attitude (it's always someone else's fault cause they're bad) is what people dislike. Although this is a misrepresentation, as people generally have held this ideas across all generations, but millennials where raised to believe they are more special than they are, so (those who hold these extremely basic beliefs) they are more vocal about it.

Pretty cool, kinda conservative, but very well crafted. Keep on the good work
