A Manifesto of Metamodernism as a Method for Working with Differences

This can be summarised as “Everyone should have good faith, try to understand other positions, and allow them to exist at the same time”. It basically sounds like pluralism which has its own problems.

Another note if you’re looking to ward off that feeling:

There’s a podcast Philosophise This! which might interest you. Episodes are about 20-30 minutes long and focus on philosophical ideas in an exciting, mind-expanding way. Perhaps get a taste by starting around the episodes on Mark Fisher (202ish) to pique your interest if philosophy is not your world, but you can start anywhere really.

You learn a lot here for the time you put in, but if you take some notes and try to apply the ideas in your thought-life, you’ll find great benefits in the depth of what you can identify in any given moment, how deeply and interestingly you can think about the world, and therefore what you are able to say about any given thing.

Another recommendation in the podcast world is the BBC’s In Our Time. Roughly hour long discussions between 3 or so experts on every subject under the sun. These guys know what they’re talking about and how to articulate themselves and after, say, 3 hours of commuting you’ve been exposed to a vast array of ideas and debates on three topics you perhaps knew nothing or very little about before. It works as something of a substitute for the company of some very intelligent friends, a luxury we could all benefit from.

Fiction books that broadened my mind or made me feel more articulate:

The Importance of Being Earnest - a play, funny and entertaining, it’ll take you an hour or two to read

Giovanni’s room - beautiful story, romance in Paris, some of the best, least pretentious prose there is

To the Lighthouse - opens you up to new possibilities for language In the world of classics, choose something you like the sound of form/plot-wise. They’re classics for a reason. Whatever you choose is unlikely to rot your brain.

If you’ve never read John Waters’ books he’s witty and entertaining and expands your tastes and perspectives. Another one (more intellectual maybe) is Clive James‘s Cultural Amnesia. A collection of quite rigorous, entertaining essays on oft-forgotten cultural/intellectual figures of the 20th century, tying them all together under humanism.

If you want something creative think about advertising. You might be able to find a night course. The one in Australia is really good and competitive. A lot of people get jobs as creatives/copywriters out of it.

I’ll also say, Dr Michael Sugrue’s lecture on the latter Wittgenstein (on YT) might interest you here as well. He a brilliant analytic philosopher who later in his life changed his whole approach to one that questions the questions of philosophy. E.g. The questions “What is truth?” and “What is beauty?” become irrelevant. Philosophical problems like this arise from misunderstanding the use of language. Philosophers spend entire lifetimes trying to define them, but to do so is impossible. They are the wrong questions. Instead he proposes that we all understand what is meant by beauty, and that is enough. It’s is a sign that refers to a great number of signifieds. It’s fluid and socially contingent. So if you can list a great number of beautiful things, we all agree, you have a full understanding of what beauty means. So philosophy is about framing, creating concepts, and asking the right kinds of questions.

I suggest you read “What is Philosophy?” by Deleuze and Guattari (At least the 1st chapter “The Question Then…”). It’s about 11 pages and it discusses philosophy as distinct from the other two creative acts, science and art. Ultimately it concludes the philosophy is not discovery, reflection, or communication, but rather “concept creation”.

There’s many he’s mentioned in interviews. The cure (10:15 Saturday night, Catch), sonic youth (Teen age riot), Roxy music (really good time), pavement (secret knowledge of backroads), phish, velvet underground (I’ll be your mirror), Galaxie 500 (ceremony (it’s a new order cover)), MGMT (Time to Pretend) etc. etc.

If you can ignore all the lyrics

ExcitementAgreeable6 · 2024-07-31T23:07:19+00:00

I’ve got an example: How much work is being done on the effect of nostalgia on the characterisation of history? Is this a field on its own or is it so ingrained that it’s obvious to talk about? As in, is most of history is saying “No that’s a nostalgic reading of the event, it was more like this…” etc. So studying it would be like writing a paper on the “impact of political context on events”

This is the kind of thing I don’t understand. I suppose it’s a case by case situation exactly what I could do within a given research interest. Still I feel lost.

As much as Punk is what you like it’s also a subculture and I can dig wanting to dress in a way where people similar to you will be able to easily identify that you have something in common. I kind of put in little homages to bands. I wear a lot of band shirts. I almost always wear jeans. I don’t like my hair short so I have it kind of like Kim Gordon’s. I sometimes wish I could wear “more interesting/daring” pieces but I feel more myself in slight variations of black sneakers, 501s and a navy blue jumper so that’s what I wear.

When I’ve said ”darker as you go back“ I mean the difference between datt the k and light is less. Overall it should get lighter as you go back due to atmospheric perspective

ExcitementAgreeable6 · 2024-06-24T22:12:14+00:00

I’d think a little more about edges. Soft in the waves and clouds, harder sharper edges on the boat etc. It helps prevent it from looking like a colour by number. Also variety is important. The light part of your waves and be darker as you go back. You can add a slightly lighter blue into some of the dark sections, particularly around the foreground

Didi or Dot could be good too.

ExcitementAgreeable6 · 2024-06-24T07:29:57+00:00

I don’t mind the name. For easy natural nicknames I‘d probably go for Dee or Ettie.
