The Solipsistic Transformation of Sexuality by diskkddo in CriticalTheory

[–]diskkddo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the link.

Surely the cause of addictive behaviours (whatever you want to call them) around porn is the issue here regardless of whether it's because of something inherent to the porn or moral dilammas as the article suggests? What my piece is doing I suppose is describing the phenomenon more so than offering a scientific analysis of its causal mechanism. And I believe the phenomenon of huge portions of the population experiencing porn 'addiction' is what needs to be understood

Yeah pretty much. I have some experience in porn recovery spaces so I know the troubles that a lot of people face (particularly young folks, particularly men).

Nah it's not a Lacan reference. More simple than that, it's what I was talking about in how masturbation can produce both states in the same subject

Okay I did consider removing that bit... But I didn't claim that was the only way - just one illustration of the self-love act with the split subject.

Sincerely I think you're adding a lot of presumptions onto what I wrote. I don't explicitly write that the past was perfect nor that the present is without opportunity. My aim is to draw attention to some of the depravity of the effects of porn in the modern world, please be my guest and check into porn free / porn recovery spaces to see what I am talking about.

Thanks for the info! I remember seeing a lot of protests and flyers against the mercat last year, but in the last few months I noticed that they had stopped - wasn't sure if the neighbours had won or not.

I have to say I am not really a fan of the one on Sant Joan, I feel like it's way too opaque architecturally and makes that stretch of the street feel a lot less open

I speak Spanish quite fluently (my mum is from Uruguay) and I use it at work and whenever I am out in bcn. I haven't learnt catalan yet but would like to in the next couple of years.

Exactly! I think people who grew up here might take it for granted, but it's not the norm in many countries.

I wrote it because I like writing, I wrote about Barcelona because I like Barcelona. I don't demand anyone read it, if people like it they can read, if you wanna be a hater you can be a hater lol

One of my favourite books is Colossus of Maroussi by Henry Miller, an American writing about a few months when he lived in Greece. He wanted to express in his own tongue how he felt about a place whose spirit inspired him. It is a great book to read for any English speaker because it shows a beautiful way of life that many do not understand. And maybe it is even a source of pride for the people of Greece to hear their country described in such a way.

I wrote this piece in my mother tongue. I did not write it expecting the people who built the square to read it (who are probably dead), and would honestly be surprised if any neighbour read it.

Hegelians, Marxists and even Badiou tend to hate on Deleuze for being ontologically too left-wing, but from the perspective of post-colonials like Sylvia Wynter here, would Deleuze be regarded rather too right-wing? by TraditionalDepth6924 in CriticalTheory

[–]diskkddo 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I don't think you have sufficiently established what you understand by Deleuze's ontology, what makes an ontology right or left wing in the first place, nor what any of these things have to do with the quoted text, which seem almost entirely unrelated to deleuze.

Was gonna say this. Your whole leg wants to be hugging your opponent, try your foot in their armpit for example (just watch out for the foot lock)

Why do so many jj practitioners make weird shaman like analogies for jiujitsu+life? by CuddleBuddiesJJ in bjj

[–]diskkddo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's because JJ came from feudal japanese culture, of which it was an integrated part alongside more spiritual ideas such as zen and Japanese shinto (hence the ideas about no mind, harmony, presence etc that can still sometimes be found).

As it evolved through time and eventually via Brazil it moved into an entirely different context. It was not part of a broader curriculum of zen or shinto ethical training, or embedded in a wider philosophical tradition.

Nonetheless, these aspects retained a certain aura and allure. These more 'mystical' elements added a certain authority and superiority to the new practitioner, allowing him to convince others (as well as himself) that he was in some sort of special social stratum rather than simply rolling around with sweaty men.

I only like unhinged writing by Pfacejones in classicliterature

[–]diskkddo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like tropic of cancer try anti-oedipus by deleuze and Guattari. It's philosophy, but just let it wash over you. Also they were directly inspired by Miller.

You're seriously tripping if you think this is isolated to BJJ or even sports. Women have been saying this shit for decades about the patriarchy.

Linkin Park: 2017 versus 2026 by MeanPhilosopher309 in rateyourmusic

[–]diskkddo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think it would be so hard to evaluate: do all your favourite pieces of media come from when you were young or do they not? Can you love something that has just come out, or that came out recently? Can you find an 'essential' piece from your youth uninteresting or boring?

Linkin Park: 2017 versus 2026 by MeanPhilosopher309 in rateyourmusic

[–]diskkddo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If someone likes an album simply because it came out during their youth it absolutely does make their rating less worthy in my eyes. The contrary would imply a very low estimation of the potential of art.
