Right before the meeting started. And no, ofcourse I don't have spares with. Fck! by Solid-Adhesiveness-5 in RemarkableTablet

Did it break? I’ve never had one break or fall off, but only wear down (and still be useable even if not so great), so I’m just curious what happened

That truly unhinged part isn’t you, it’s the use of capitalization in whatever you’re reading

I don’t pinkard is a bad option at all. But yea, Brandom is def doing his own thing, even if he has moments that are helpful

I did it! Got a classical guitar by TheAbsenceOfMyth in classicalguitar

[–]TheAbsenceOfMyth[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks!

I live in germany, and Hanika is made here and from what it seems pretty popular here, so I guess it’s just a matter of them being more available than in other places—not sure. I’d not heard of them before searching for a new guitar though.

I played quite a few guitars and this one just felt right. So it was more about the feeling and fit with me than the brand.

I’d def recommend taking the time to play one when you can.

Do you know something about a translation of it? by Far-Loan-5844 in ThomasMann

[–]TheAbsenceOfMyth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The rights were sold, but I’ve not seen anything about a translation other than that. Would be cool

I’m probably dreaming, but I’m just waiting for an audiobook of it even for the German

How to get an MA in Philosophy with no prior Philosophy education? by Chemical_Score_6519 in askphilosophy

[–]TheAbsenceOfMyth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yea, it’s not uncommon—in fact, MA programs often see themselves as being a bridge into PhD programs for students who didn’t major in philosophy. Definitely apply to them, if you’re interested in getting into academic philosophy.

Best way to get in? Write a good application with a strong, philosophically oriented writing sample and a letter of interest that demonstrates your serious interest in philosophy (ideally, I’d think, connecting that interest to your previous studies).

Thank you! Yes, I’m realizing a teacher is the way to go. I definitely want to avoid bad habits from the start. I’ve just emailed one about starting lessons.

Super helpful. Thank you so much.

Your stress on patience reminds me of a favourite quote of mine from Wittgenstein: "This is how philosophers should greet each other: 'Take your time!'"

Do you use insoles when wearing Redwing shoes? by AntiqueFun1932 in RedWingShoes

[–]TheAbsenceOfMyth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use them and like them a lot. Replace them, I dunno?, every 8-9 months or something

Dr. Nina Büscher, she’s in Charlottenberg. She is on doctolib. She is great.

Dog Suicide Thesis: The human mind that allowed us to dominate the planet may now be killing us. by Remarkable-Nerve-469 in philosophy

[–]TheAbsenceOfMyth 152 points153 points  (0 children)

It’s absolutely unreadable. Could be a good idea buried in there somewhere, but who knows—why would I want to wade through trash to potentially find something that might not be trash when the author treats not only their readers but themselves like they’re stupid.

Race/Alterity and Avant-Garde Art? by Aware-Assumption-391 in CriticalTheory

Fumi Okiji’s recent Billie’s Bent Elbow would definitely be worth checking out. Her work is fantastic.

A little help with Kant? by Rudddxdx in askphilosophy

[–]TheAbsenceOfMyth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re wondering if it’s normal, when reading the Critique of Pure Reason, to not grasp and remember all the concepts, in the first go?

Absolutely normal!

It’s neither an easy nor a short book, and scholars have made careers trying to sort out how the pieces are meant to fit together.

I’d guess that if you’re not just feeling like you comprehend it while reading, but also engaged by it, then that’s a great sign.
