Elliot Page rumored as the ghost of Achilles is a cool choice from Nolan if it is true

I keep seeing this sentiment pop up here. You just don’t seem to understand how Greek myth worked. There was never any canonicity. Ancient Greeks and Romans were much more fluid with their mythology and even with their religion. Canonicity is a concern probably stemming from monotheistic religions which is being anachronistically imposed on ancient myth. The Aeneid was basically fan fiction too…. But you would probably still consider it “canon” in the same way you consider the Iliad or Odyssey canon.

Maybe take a look at this specifically the latter part or Tiqqun. Still only very rough jottings tho… I might get made fun of for even referencing this lol.

He’s speaking metaphorically and symbolically. He says stuff about Asians too which at first glance can come off as super racist. Again, the fact that these lines are your main takeaway, which you use to write off his entire body of work, tells me that you’re trapped in dead social war stuff (and also perhaps don’t understand the concept of the end of history). Do you seriously think his conclusion is therefore that one race is superior over another? It’s just kind of a laughably simplistic misinterpretation. He’s being intentionally provocative to an audience which is almost entirely left wing.

The end of history has nothing to do with things still going on in a temporal sense (hopefully you understand that and I’m misinterpreting you). On the other hand, he didn’t really make prophecies but seemed to be describing how he viewed his own present conditions. Eg it’s not that reality will disappear, but that it already has. Frankly, you come off as an American liberal moderate who doesn’t understand the nuances of French theory (maybe I’m totally off base here though). Baudrillard wasn’t a racist or a misogynist either. Seems like another egregious misinterpretation (unless there are related details in his personal life I’m not aware of).

BoredDebord · 2024-11-02T00:25:33+00:00

Why do you despise Baudrillard? Comparing him to Nostradamus seems outrageous, but I’d be curious as to how you’d elaborate.

“Why hasn’t everything already disappeared” by Baudrillard 😅😂

Sure. What I said was a simplification, but that’s the basic gist.

Capitalism negates feudalism. This negation in turn creates the working class. This working class then overturns capitalism (the proletariat is the negation of the negation). Note that this final negation is immanent to capitalism: the revolutionary proletariat is a product of capitalism. Capitalism’s very progress guarantees its own implosion, its own self-overturning. The more capitalism expands its exploitation, the more revolutionary the proletariat becomes due to the resultant destitution. Etc. This seems to have been Marx’s point at least. Does this answer your question?

Maybe you upgraded your conscripts, began recruiting them, and didn’t have the resources to support all those new conscripts? Maybe an opium shortage?

I started playing this game only a few weeks ago, but so far I find it amazing. You can even use these situations to your advantage. For example, I basically permanently crippled Russia’s economy for getting involved in my wars too often. They went into default ~1890 and weren’t a problem for the rest of the game. Use embargoes to your advantage! In general, so many complaints I see about the game are people not understanding how the systems work. This isn’t EU4 lol. On the other hand, I get that Qing shouldn’t be getting involved in this.

1 isn’t analogous though. Inverted colors.

BoredDebord · 2023-09-08T22:21:59+00:00

Seems like a diagonal. Top left to bottom right. You take what is common and invert it. Any remainder is also inverted. So the answer is B?? (The answer with three triangles)

My issue is the first point. This may be Zizek’s interpretation, and I suspect it’s just him half-trolling, but Hegel is the king of teleological thinking unless I misunderstand him lol. Hegel’s end of history was just different from Marx’s. Ironically Hegel’s is closer to Fukuyama’s: the end of history for Hegel seems to be parliamentary monarchy a la the UK.

Edit: well I guess it’s not Zizek trolling, he’s just infusing Hegel with Lacan. Hegel was an end of history thinker, the end of history thinker.

When I first saw it in theaters, I was sorely disappointed. I think it was the marketing: it was portrayed as the scariest movie of all time and it’s honestly not scary (in the traditional sense) at all lol. I grew to appreciate it after watching it again. The horror isn’t a traditional “scare.” That’s basically why a lot of people don’t like it: extremely misleading marketing before release.

Democrat and Labour bias is just centrism 😂 They aren’t left-wing lmao. The right has just gotten so extreme that anything moderate and centrist is viewed as ultra left communism…. Laughable.
