Why are analytics so dumb?

>> No.10898372

>>10898245
It only seems that way, because you're too dumb to have spent the time reading and understanding them. Keep listening to what /lit/ tells you, I'm sure you're getting an objective unbiased account of how things are on a board that leans heavily continental and fucking bombed the math section of their SAT

their topics are so abstract that their brains become mangled messes. couple that with the fact that most don't have any established methodology and their brains rot.

Seems like bullshit if you just focus on something that seems tautological, but the distinction between analytic and synthetic statements reveal something interesting and important about different kinds of facts about the world. Besides, that's fucking Kant, who predates the analytic/continental divide. Guess philosophy just isn't for you

Most analytics are exactly what continentals criticize them of being, autismo puzzle makers playing with logic and words. Most continentals spew fancy obscure nonsense. Both sides are right to shit on each other

What a bunch of nonsense. We need to start from first principles
1) Existence exists
2) People have consciousness
3) Therefore taxation is theft

I'm not sure whether this is a shitpost, because it's both absurd and an accurate representation of Rand's worldview.

Contradictions do not exist. Whenever you think that you are facing a contradiction, check your premises. You will find that one of them is wrong.

no, that's structuralism which is a continuation of the continental tradition.

You literally have nothing to say. But it's cool. You're right. I don't want you to change your mind. I want you to wallow in your own judgmental hell, afraid to travel anywhere, afraid to meet new people, afraid to better yourself or seek any education. Your entire life is controlled by anger and fear. Keep doing what you're doing.

Platonics: You can't know anything!
Aristotelians: You can only know things!

Did anyone actually find something reasonable between these extremes?

>> No.10901514

They tried to transcend nihilism by reducing the problems of life to problems of language. What is life but a series of yes or no questions? 1 and 0 to be exact. It is demonstrated in our DNA even. We are at the limits of positivism now; but we are unable to overcome. Computers are just a metaphor and not a solution to this problem.

Did I imply a contradiction? Something can be both absurd and accurate. This only makes intent difficult to discern.

How are they extremes? They are both the same thing pointing towards the transcendental unknowable.
