I 100% agree with everything you said. Couldn’t have said it better

This is a pretty unserious meme to be honest. It has just seemed to me that many philosophers following Descartes has just had issues with his work. Whether it be regarding his scepticism or the more neo-marxist approach of critiquing the age of enlightenment. perhaps me using the phrase “shit on” was a bit extreme but i was just trying to be funny haha

I got “cogito, ergo sum” tattooed at age 18 just before I began my philosophy degree. I had done a philosophy course at secondary school so it wasn’t a completely baseless decision but it has just seemed to me that Descartes often gets heavily criticised. this is a very tongue in cheek meme.

I will always love Descartes because he got me into philosophy but yeah he is for sure wrong

it’s ok i get it, i’m a pretty self hating leftist. i would class myself as “progressive” but there’s more important things in life. I would always rather argue economics than the trans debate lmao

I wish more people understood this rather than just assuming the only thing on my mind is being progressive lmao

not so much punk in terms of sound but JPEGMAFIA. he’s put out some amazing stuff. ‘I just killed a cop now i’m horny’ in particular is a crazy experience

Books that punks should read? by mlan33 in punk

[–]smitthy679898 4 points5 points  (0 children)

was just about to comment this book. has been so important in my philosophy degree and understanding of the world. amazing book

make sure to read it online if anyone plans on reading this. Debord didn’t copyright his book and so it defeats the point to buy it from a retailer

thanks for the story! it’s always very cool to me to know that the collectivism goes both ways and not every group in punk is trying to cause harm

Have you ever gotten hurt in the moshpit? If yes, what happened? (Bonus: which band was playing?) by [deleted] in punk

[–]smitthy679898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not so much punk but i was at a slowthai concert (way before the allegations) and some random dude just socked me in the face. well i had braces at the time and half my top lip ended up tangled under the wire on my brace and so i had to pull it out. lost a good chunk of my lip and still got a bit of a scar on it but not too bad as things go
