Watched eyes wide shut last night and the episode this morning. I dont know how much the somerton stuff nick mentioned is intentional but for me the line that sums up the thesis of the movie is "You showed up in a taxi and everyone else showed up in a limousine."

Whenever anybody says you need to read theory to be a socialist, this is what they want to turn you into https://twitter.com/redditships/status/1176144347173138432?s=20

I mean both of those people suck a lot. He's clearly insane, a fool and insufferable; she's clearly contemptuous of philosophy and either willfully ignorant or very stupid because terms like 'presuppositional' to her are 'incomprehensible jargon' Also lol if you needed comprehensive persuasion to think that material inequality was bad

to be a successful academic you functionally have to isolate yourself from actual society and just focus on pushing turds back and forth rear end to rear end forever with like six other people hoping the other seven people slightly higher on the ladder notice and go 'hey nice turd pushing'.

From what I've seen, the worst are grad students on Twitter, because they're stuck at the stage where their research topic is all-consuming and becomes their only heuristic, and they're desperate for sempai to notice them. So the "smartest" ones become shills for neoliberalism even if they identify as socialists.

This really melts brains. People focus so hard that they see everything through that one lens and start interjecting into conversations about how Javert/Maimonides/Bach is just like your favorite TV character and let me explain you'll love it and I should really send you this article to read so you can *get* just what I'm sayi

People who talk about 'reading theory' are functionally our side's version of when right wing people call watching youtube dipshits 'doing research'. I'm not saying it's impossible, but a lot of people who say it are just trying to make their dumb poo poo sound more weighty.

Speaking as an honest to goodness Gender Studies/Philosophy grad, theory is useful for understanding the world, but gets progressively less and less relevant the more your focus is on changing it - because there's always a lag. Gender Trouble, the first theory book I read, was addressing a form of gender variance that really became mainstream a decade before it's publication. Also a lot of grad students are the scions of the former middle class, with all that comes with it. Combine that with a workload that is frankly inhumane, academic systems that don't quite get it's not 1880 anymore, and good ol' poverty will melt your brain. My favorite professor once told me: only go to grad school if you must go to grad school and, well, most grad students don't feel that level of, let's call it, atypical cognitive need. Also smoke weed erryday.

But what you get on social media is nerds who have read piles of theory, missed the forest for the trees, and then come to conclusions like "Don't support teacher strikes, teachers are class traitors, haven't you read Freire?"

This also describes an awful lot of the people who became extremely vocal about opposing electoralism the moment there was a real Democratic Socialist option.

He was history's greatest troll, OP Wikipedia posted:The number of pages Marx and Engels devote to attacking Stirner in the unexpurgated text of The German Ideology in which they derided him as Sankt Max (Saint Max) exceeds the total of Stirner's written works.

Halloween Jack posted:I reread The Boys when the Amazon series came out, and a lot of it just makes me cringe now. In particular the bits about how Butcher doesn't hate anybody, he's just a good ol' working-class Britisher who says fag and poof and dyke and fag and fag and fag and fag and...and the bit about how the Martian Manhunter has a thing for trans women, who were described using every conceivable other term you can think of. Butcher is also the villain of the series so maybe you're not supposed to agree with him when he says that poo poo

My favorite professor once told me: only go to grad school if you must go to grad school and, well, most grad students don't feel that level of, let's call it, atypical cognitive need. I was doing my masters in teaching, which is hardly even a grad program, and found that there was also a good deal of sanctimony regarding that workload; about how long everyone was studying, and how some were better than others because they sought to genuinely understand, and how indeed that understanding was a virtue, and only those who were sufficiently privileged so as not to could afford not to. But an MIT isn’t even really a grad program - it’s a professional degree - and still there was a great deal of hostility directed at all sides from all sides. I can imagine this gets worse in programs that really delve, rather than cursorily overview, theory.

Does anyone remember that thing that was like Bitstrips, but for video? I once fell down a YouTube rabbit hole of medical professions using it to snipe at each other. Videos of cartoon teddy bears with stilted machine dialogue, arguing over whether dentists are real doctors.
