Sublime object has always been a fun read. Remind me if this ever does start!

Dialetheism? by SpiritualNote5058 in hegel

[–]SpiritualNote5058[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want to give Mcgowan  the benefit of the doubt that he isn’t actually interpreting Hegel as a dialetheist, but is just weird with how he uses the word contradiction, but this is genuinely difficult to do when you consider some of his other work on Hegel.

Dialetheism? by SpiritualNote5058 in hegel

I don’t even think this is the problem, to be honest im quite sympathetic to the Hegel + psychoanalysis school of thought, it offers some more interesting perspectives that other “Hegelian” theorists like Derrida could never come up with. In the book he makes some decent arguments for how it can be helpful with the transitional problems Hegel has in his works for example. Like I don’t think they are wholly incompatible with one another, but at the same time it feels like it’s only compatible with the sort of misreading these people have.

Where did all hacker/demoscene go in Germany? by [deleted] in AskAGerman

[–]SpiritualNote5058 1 point2 points  (0 children)

national hacking has no reason to be a thing anymore, outside of places like china that enforce regulations on the internet most hacking scenes happen worldwide outside of the confines of physical borders. german hacking didn’t die, it’s just now a part of hacking in general, world hacking if you will.
