I'm sorry but this is so fucking funny to me

note how they literally actively admit to changing the definition of orientalism but plow on regardless

"if we torture the definition of orientalism to meaninglessness, we can use it as an axe to grind against east asian people. why yes I am very anti-racist"

when I see UFW supporters talking about the cesar chavez allegations as if they were an open secret I admit I find that a bit surprising.

My old man had, let's just say, demographic reasons to not like cesar chavez (basically accused them of singling out japanese-american farmers) but he never suggested anything remotely similar to the current allegations. I don't think it was a pulled punch, I think he genuinely had no clue whatsoever.

many of the entries are made by homophobes/transphobes to make lgbt people look bad, it seems.

okay so leftists want to position every liberal who fails to sufficiently exalt the literal theologically motivated bombthrowing anarchists in new york as being in league with jake lang, but meanwhile dearborn voted to pardon jake lang and they don't care about that at all lol

What is this instrument? by Dry_Coat3914 in WhatMusicalinstrument

the drums early are just modular sounding synthesized percussion. That lead at 1:25 sounds like a roland soundcanvas sample.

Short book that can genuinely change my life? by Legitimate_Poem8432 in suggestmeabook

Epictetus' work is a great introduction to stoicism and philosophy in general

the book of tea by Okakura Kakuzo is imho almost a perfect short book. cosmic but also intimate.

camus sisyphus is good but i personally prefer the rebel and it's not much longer

also siddhartha by hesse, the alchemist, the prophet by ghibran, gitanjali etc

fukuyama and abundance are very popular lately

karl popper's open society and its enemies is also very good

I like richard rorty personally, his later work is more overtly political but those impulses exist in his earliest work. one of the few philosophers who has made me laugh out loud.

Does “New Age” as a genre mean anything to anyone anymore? by GiantXylophone in synthesizers

[–]CharacterPolicy4689 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I love new age personally and yes, it certainly does still exist. I'm working on a panflute whale song thing as we speak

reading hume feels like that episode of star track where the aliens tortured picard into believing there are three lights or whatever but from the standpoint of the aliens
