So many movies tell me I'm not alone in having cheesey daydreams about heroic deeds, but then their unreality dawns on me and the following affirmation just looks uncomfortable. However when people fuck up or awkwardness strikes them it resonates and is often far more charming than they are no doubt imagining.

It's contingent upon an insufficiently nurturing environment as children. Theoretically, it's possible to diminish the effect that energy has on our society, as the requisite knowledge is there for raising well adjusted children, but the reality is traumatised people keep passing on their generational curse. It's something like Buddhist samsara

2024-01-25 21:46:36 +0000 UTCBarthes died in march 1980β¦ so ol fukuyama couldnβt have studied w him in the 80s β¦ well maybe for 2 or 3 monthsβ¦ maybe having fukuyama in his classes contributed to RBβs inability to mourn the loss of his mom and the decision leading to Barthes quasi suicide by the milk truckβ¦?

2024-01-21 19:32:15 +0000 UTCThe lib force is strong on this one haha :) A nice contrasting story would be Arturo Escobar's 'Designs for the Pluriverse', which reframes any universality and liberal-capitalist realism, with a focus on designing collectively. Would love to hear your thoughts on Escobar. And yes, Cioran would also be great!

2024-01-21 06:24:53 +0000 UTCHell Yeah. In the focus on those who seek equality of all subjectivities and those that seek the dominance of their own, this warlike propensity... isn't a third, seemingly increasing population being forgotten about? That of the individual subjectivity that prefers to be the only subjectivity? The isolated subject? The subject that has little to no care for other subjects? Is this the disappearance of recognition? Mirror of disappearance or whatever the term you were using? Prolly not, but are skirting close in my mind rn. (Lol if I had only kept listening shortly after around 1:08:00 seems to go there)
