Why is it Byungshin Chul Han? I am not Korean.

Yes, Super Bowl example is hyperbole but it illustrates a number of things. I would rather tell them that I dislike the Super Bowl than have to explain that I was reading philosophy. The first is kind of bad form but who cares it's the Super Bowl and I like going on tempered rants about why I dislike it but will hopefully stop when appropriate. It's a subtle difference than telling my brother and sister-in-law who are obsessed with Disney and Disney World that I hate Disney which I would never say in polite company but if I say I dislike it in a trickster/jester manner it can be funny with out being off putting (i think). I definitely don't go around calling them rent seeking pieces of shit even though both of their roles are to make rent seeking more profitable for their megacorp.

Yeah, Bach is the shit. I am glad that you are playing classical guitar because I feel like it will bring you more soul and spirit. I like to make fun of you for being soul-less (lacking soul) but you obviously have some soul gleaning from your cold, dark heart with the potential to open that up more. The funny thing is you will go right back to berating me later today or tomorrow so these brief reprieves catch me off guard and I find them entertaining.

It is hard to explain why James Turrell is so amazing. I don't try and sell people on his work. It's kind of cheap to just say "Go to the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) James Turrell exhibit in its entirety" but that is all I can really say. It has a lot of his stuff and his new stuff. The Roden Crater in Arizona will be his magnum opus but he is not finished with it yet. I think right now you have to have proof of seeing every exhibit of his in the world or donate $10,000 so not quite accessible yet for most. Pretty much all of his work is something one has to experience in real life. Pictures and videos don't do it justice because pretty much all of it is expansive and plays on the eye.

I like chess and philosophy. I don't like when people call me a communist. Especially in the context that I am a Marxist-Leninist or Stalinist or Maoist or a Russian apologist/China apologist or whatever similar ilk. I don't believe in Russia Gate but I also don't support Putin. I don't like overly engaging with identity in general. But this is all where it gets messy again. You aren't going to change your mind and I'm not going to change my mind so then all you can really do is call me dumb ass and dumb fuck and garbage communist, etc. I like Marx, I like Kropotkin, I like Byungshin Chul Han. It is what it is. Only Byungshin Chul Han is ahead of the game at this point. Marxism may be somewhat relevant under a shanzhai marxism but I don't like China's "communism" or any thing like that. Kropotkin just feels like a nice bedtime story at this point but many of us are still able to dream. I've said plenty of times on here that I realize there are plenty of dystopic communist outcomes. Plenty of fiction has been written and yes there has already been brutal communist outcomes in real life. I have learned a lot living as a NEET this last year and a half or so in my late 30s mostly that there is potential there for things but there is a lot more involved with living the good life than someone cutting middle aged NEETs a check every month. There is real danger there too. I don't think everyone will just start mixing weed, morphine, and benzos all day every day but a population would do that. Another population would live their best life especially if the check was say $3,000+. Most of the population would fall somewhere in between. I like to joke about fully automated luxury gay space communism and to a certain degree I believe it is possible. Wouldn't you rather have fully automated luxury gay space communism than what we currently endure?

?? (byeong-shin, ??): A noun that roughly translates to "moron" or "retard". It is a compound of the word ? (byeong, ?), meaning "of disease" or "diseased", and the word ?(shin, ?), a word meaning "body" originating from the Chinese character.

It can easily also mean dumbass

So, this video disturbed me for the foreseeable future

Part of the allure of philosophy is that it is so vast and fascinating. I watched a lecture on Jürgen Habermas who I never paid much attention to but I read some Marcuse and Adorno last year and now his stuff is clicking. Habermas is big on undistorted communication. He also believes the best argument wins. This is one of the keys to making the world a better place. So, all of this philosophy builds off of each other and the best arguments win. Reading some of these books is like diving into a treasure chest of thought. It's wonderful. It's a wide web. I can pick any philosopher and then follow their path back or forward. All it takes is some time and thought.

By the way, two things:

If you have all the same beliefs as the powerful and controlling and manipulative maybe it is time to question some of those beliefs.

The ruling class chooses culture. The stubborn minority may be able to shift that culture but the ruling class chooses culture just in the similar way that whoever weaponizes AI the best will choose culture. This is the cold war that we live in. I prefer Germany, France, Japan, USA civil liberties to China or Russia.

yet i digress:

hiems has yet to articulately describe why one should not read and think about philosophy. He just calls people dumb asses and dumb fucks.

I will say one thing about hiems. He does possess a certain understanding of the world. He does not read (interpret) meaning his understanding/writing/speaking is likely hindered but I would wager that hiems does observe and think about things. Interpreting in real life situations is actually the best way to learn this. It does seem that his understanding is limited in some ways but for example I liked his observation that the X Hot Car will attract more bros at the gas station than desirable women. This does not mean that hiems should not by a relatively Hot Car, some better clothing, and go out to venues to socialize. That is the game he is in. I have no idea what is plans are beyond turtling besides wait for datable AI tech to emerge.

I am not really sure why I am opening up this thread again for discussion. I take Saturdays completely off and sometimes run out of things to do.

Signed,

The Lingering Ludic

It is kind of exciting because I like the efforts of Habermas to sort of combat the post-modernists. I have always been a big fan of Kant and the Enlightenment albeit it obviously has its troubles. Not to say that there is not value to the PoMos. The biggest point here is not to end up like Jordan B Peterson who does not interpret anything within reason aka he mangles Nietzsche and Derrida and even The Bible. Derrida says there is not one interpretation for a given text but that doesn't mean we should distort a text's words and thoughts. And I can disagree with Derrida if I please or Nietzsche for that matter but please don't distort the words and thoughts. If someone were to label me at this point I would accept neo-enlightenment neo-marxist or something like that.

It needs to get to the point that we acknowledge that Marx was cool although "Marxism" is outdated.

So your official position is that you are NOT a dumbass if I am understanding correctly?

Your definition of dumb ass is dumb ass. Hell, you even tried to equate dumb ass with "diseased body."

You are an idiot that is just how the word works in Korean wtf are you talking about.

The word byungshin means dumbass, moron, or retard not diseased body.

when even loco tells you to get a job and stop ruminating you know you gotta get a job and stop ruminating.

Game tester seems like something to keep you fed but still trapped in that depressive hole you are in, i like the "become an english teacher in a foreign country" more, you need a jolt in your life, if it doesnt go work out you can always go back to your old game testing option and you will have fond memories of the foreign girls you probably will date.

Some things going for you as an English teacher

1. You probably have the right look. You are the right type of white if that makes sense. Very American looking. Not white like from the trailer park, but from a good family and good school district. This is a pretty nice thing to be as an English teacher. You're not some ginger either you are what ppl expect a normal white dude to look like.

2. People like you. As much as it pains me this is true. You are like a dog that pees and shits everywhere from my eyes but from others see different. If we were to compare the charisma of you and Loco you'd definitely be higher than him. Also as a side note French isn't an in demand language and while locos English is very good ppl like to hire English speakers from America not Montreal or Canada typically.

3. You have a plethora of leisurely pursuits you are knowledgeable about which is good for conversation topics in this type of setting.

You guys have obviously never been anywhere close to his situation in order to make that suggestion confidently. It requires a certain degree of autonomy, stability, self-confidence and self-motivation in order to be a teacher of anything. The kind of life that RiKD has been living strips those things away from you. He has to build himself back up before taking on the kind of responsibility that a teacher has. A game tester job is perfect for his situation.

fuck I should just sell some of my Pokemon cards, if no one stakes that is what I will have to do - lostaccount

also lol "If we were to compare the charisma of you and Loco you'd definitely be higher than him"

Am I a mind-control voodoo Rasputin or someone with no charisma? Make up your mind. You should pick something that isn't contradicting a previous statement of yours when you want to throw a random jab at me.

You are a dumb Loco.

You can be a rasputin and have low charisma. Was grima wormtongue charismatic? Of course not. Not sure why I have to explain dumb shit like this 24-7. Your logic is so retarded.

Yes it would be challenging but it seems to me he has the support of his family so I'm assuming that they would be happy to see Rik try something like that and would got his back, in México there are english schools that recieve americans wanting to teach english and they help them with getting a place etc, the teachers help each other outs and they all suck at the beggining, I have an american aunt who was the director of an english school all he life so she can probably hook you up with all the contact and info you need if this interests you, also in latinamerica you are tall and blonde so a chick magnet and no need for dating skills, we alrady expect gringos to be goofy and awkward lol.
