>meanwhile rich people continue to pay for short sighted, avaricious “legislation” that violently exploits the third world and removes the brakes hurtling us toward climate disaster
I seriously do not see why I should give a shit about any of those things.

The negation of it.

i'm tired, so this will be quick:

direct link from plato's idea of the "noble lie" to Chomsky's stupid fucking 5 point consent framework; chomsky basically tries to map out (poorly) what the production of the elite noble lie looks like from the perspective of those being lied to

nagel: the whole idea of a "view from nowhere" is the sublimated version of platonic idea of "forms": plato suggests that there is a world beyond the world we see, that all is illusion, and true knowledge involves looking beyond/through these mortal falsities to the eternal "truth." nagel disagrees, and his position only makes sense because there have been some 2 millennia of others working out positions viz. plato. nagel is hopelessly unoriginal.

foucault: lots to say here, not least of which is foucault's own commentary on the greeks and his return, again and again, to the "technologies" of power/sexuality that were inaugurated with the whole "know thyself" paradigm. more specifically, the soul/city analogy throughout greek literature set the metaphorical/analogical stage for understanding things like madness and civilization in terms of normalcy, degeneracy, strangeness, etc.--the development of these categories are derived from epistemological greek origins (see also canguillem)

and these are only superficial readings, connections

why the fuck are you just so terribly uneducated, so terribly ignorant, so terribly dumb and resistant to knowledge? why is this board such a fucking shithole of morons?

Is stirnerian/nietzschean egoist individualism basically antisocial disorder with taints of narcissism?

That's a nice collection of spooks.

/lit/ decides what I read next.

Recs must be essays.

Is philosophy a spook, if so, what isn't a spook?

The ultimate argument for anytime you're losing a debate with other autists online.

The 15yo getting owned was the highlight of my day. I love you guys.

Everymorning when I wake up i analyze a couple pages from The Ego and Its Own. And then proceed to make coffee and think about his philosophy. One of these days I plan to take Stirners philosophy and add my ideas to it, sort of like what focault did with Nietzches writing.
