  • Yes. Why would my philosophical beliefs be independent of my personality? It would be quite jarring to see someone like, idk, Bernie Sanders expressing raging nietzscheanism.

    There probably is a connection between philosophy and personality, but that doesn't occur in a void; as with any other literature, media, idea, it will be something which you experience and that will affect you.

    Personality might dictate your search for certain literature, make you prefer one reading over another, or perhaps interpret in the only way you find possible


  • Also, Diogenes the Cynic is just this surefire way to show you don't know philosophy. He's kind of that filter that shows that "the person I'm talking to knows philosophy through memes". A bit like Machiavelli for some decades ago - "the person I'm talking to knows philosophy through manipulative self help books". Sorry Diogenes-lovers, u need to up your habitus

    I hate the fact that people pretend to be for or against CRT. CRT is almost completely irrelevant to the discussions of what seems to mostly be corporate liberal DiAngelo racism. It's only there as a buzzword, a boogeyman. I want everyone to just reject that bullshit because CRT isn't that. DiAngelo bullshit is stupid and not representative of CRT, nor is it representative of antiracism. So leftists and libs defend the shit conservatives attack as CRT (DiAngelo bullshit) because they believe CRT is antiracism in general. Reject conservative boogeymen. Anyone that says "CRT" in a discussion should be dismissed and CBT'd.

    Saw that "no name" brand bullshit things being astroturfed on reddit. It's so stupid. They're selling a product supposedly without identity yet the brand attempts to distinguish itself through this lack of identity. The characteristic colours. The descriptive label. The brand name is typed "no name" with a ®. Their products are distinctively theirs. So the brand has a concrete identity despite claiming the opposite. It isn't the rejection of products that sell more things than just products (the rejection of products involving identity). It is instead selling the identity of being a person that rejects products that sell more things than just products. Why would you buy this? Because they lack a name, and just sell products. But even this product contains a bullshit identity. And the identity the products attempt to construct is attacked by the product itself.
    People easily become aware and repulsed by brands selling identities. It's obvious that the countercultural rejection of consumerism in the end gets commodified, but I didn't imagine it would ever be so nauseatingly obvious. The only no name I respect is Noname.


  • It's really just a boogeyman, isn't it? I don't think I know anyone who has interacted with what is considered CRT. CRT is part of the many critical theories surrounding race and it'd be wrong to generalize it as "most theory surrounding race" which is how I've seen it interpreted by some libs, cons and leftists. It's a silly boogeyman and it shouldn't be brought up as actually representing leftism and race, but for some reason leftists suddenly want to pick this up because of this boogeymanning. At least Habermas had influence before becoming the conservative boogeyman.
