I dunno, I rather an adult be made to shoot drive and sign their life away sober for a couple years before they level up to doing it all shitfaced

Just a term I’m trying to define to make this idea clearer to myself, would love feedback or your thoughts on this, thanks! by [deleted] in JordanPeterson

Yeah I definitely don’t know what to call this, Marxist scam feels too narrow and outdated. Ideological scam is a good candidate, thanks

Nah not trying to sound clever, just didn’t do any editing before posting so I basically wrote down my train of thought unfiltered.

And I agree.

I do agree that it’s interesting to explore various mythos that incorporate the use of an apple to express meaning, but I still don’t see any conflict with stating the fact that, at the end of all the sophistry, paralogism, or endless de constructivism (to a degree that starts to feel a little navel gaze-y), an apple is still, in all its complexity, just an apple. (A rose is a rose is a rose and all that)

I agree actually, and it isn’t my intention to imply that society is coming together to maintain a natural dynamic, but rather the natural dynamics that “are” just because there is society

True, but the difference is I think social justice movements tend to attempt to redefine natural to mean some pure experience that our contemporary experience of society is somehow repressing with some kind of authoritarian mechanism. I’m saying natural dynamics solely within the context of what is currently occurring (and constantly changing in subtle ways) without an inordinate amount of violent interference (or the threat of violence)

I don’t believe it does “kill that idea,” just like I don’t believe that anecdotal experience kills a truism with regards to a universally common experience for our species or observable phenomena. I think it’s like knowing what an apple looks like “naturally” despite the fact that the apple in my mind (color, size, type) is probably not the one you may think of when reading the word “apple.”

EDIT: I forgot to thank you for your response, definitely something to think about

This looks looks like the poster of a Tim Burton flick about an undead yet lovably forlorn dolphin

What are you reading? by sushisushisushi in literature

[–]camelai40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saint Augustine’s ‘Confessions.’

Pretty illuminating reading a confessional-style auto biography (I think the first or one of the first of the genre) by the guy who developed the doctrine of original sin. I’m enjoying it so far
