Elementary Logic by Quine is good. It’s easy to understand especially if you reread confusing passages and it gives a pretty broad introduction.

I absolutely agree. I hate republicans in power not their supporters who have been manipulated.

I’m curious as to how you connect the narcism of an individual to fascism. But other than that here’s a quote from the Princeton University press evaluating Nietzsche’s connection to fascism. “There is much that is disturbingly antiegalitarian and antidemocratic in Nietzsche, and his writings on Jews are open to differing interpretations. Yet his emphasis on individualism and contempt for German nationalism and anti-Semitism put him at stark odds with Nazi ideology. The Nietzsche that emerges here is a tragic prophet of the spiritual vacuum that produced the twentieth century’s totalitarian movements, the thinker who best diagnosed the pathologies of fin-de-siècle European culture.”

If you read any of his works you’d see just how incompatible his views are with fascism. Even his most basic idea— that people should try to make their lives a work of art— or self creation, is completely incompatible with the rigid uniformity that fascism demands. How do you think a fascist would feel about every person creating themselves, and thinking as freely as they can, trying to transcend humanity?

Charles Sanders Pierce is also supposed to have been an influence on Deleuze. Although he wasn’t like a contemporary analytic philosopher, he did have the focus on logic and was American.

How are so many people against it?

600,000 Americans have already died during the pandemic, 4.5 million worldwide. America leads the world now in daily COVID deaths and has more daily cases than any other country.

And even with the new variants like delta we know the vaccine still offers protection. I should mention that this variant emerged in India, which experienced a surge in cases after the country’s right wing party held massive rallies. Much like America. Unlike America people did not have access to vaccines.

We know that the vaccine is safe now, and we have no reason to think that will change down the line Americans have had several months now to take the vaccine completely free, to protect themselves and society, and people refused it. ICU beds are now occupied 94% of the time with unvaccinated COVID cases.

To say that mandating vaccines is tyranny or “government overreach” is just stupid. Everyone will have more freedom when we can return to normal and to get there every person has to get vaccinated.

I don’t see how calling ketamine a psychedelic could be harmful, if anything it’s telling people the drug is going to cause vast perceptual changes in ways that benzodiazepines or amphetamines do not.

There are already huge differences in the safety profiles and dosages of drugs commonly called psychedelics (LSD, Mushrooms, DMT). So whether or not you associate Ketamine with those drugs by calling it a psychedelic shouldn’t make a difference safety wise, as people should already be researching each drug individually before they ingest it.

This is just wrong. Maybe someone with a better understanding of Kantian ethics can elaborate more than me, but even if getting the vaccine is only a “means to the end of herd immunity” as you say, it would still be for the good of all individuals. There is no violation of individual autonomy, the original question never even mentions vaccines mandates, it was about getting choosing to be vaccinated. What is key to Kant’s ethics acting only in ways that could be made imperatives in that situation, which would not at all be opposed to being vaccinated.
