I don’t think it actually makes sense for a person to say that they were wrong about being in love. “I was young I didn’t know what love is” or some version of “the person turned out to have always been a monster” etc. These things seem to have no bearing on the actuality of being in love, actually

Tom Waits hit and miss for me but a song like HOIST THAT RAG makes me want to start smokin cigars and inhaling, god it rules, his larynx is like a human scrapyard

Gotta hand it to Aaron Sorkin for this one

A line in the Social Network where a character says to Mark Zuckerberg's character: You're gonna go through life thinking that girls don't like you because you're a nerd. And I want you to know from the bottom of my heart that that won't be true. It'll be because you're an asshole.

Dylan movie wasn’t good but it was fun being the only two people in the theater so we could sing to the songs and remark on the most remarkable thing about the movie which is what a bangin bod Joan Baez (Monica Barbaro) had

Why does it seem like the most recent thing that anyone on the left or progressive world or whatever has done for or about the hundreds of thousands of people, in the richest country, who are forced to sleep on street sidewalks in the cold is give their Category a clunky new name (the unhoused) ?

Unpopular position: Rawls — the original position + the minimax principles of Justice he derives from it — is absolutely embarrassingly obviously wrong to the point that it’s rhetorically tempting to call him a charlatan

I read (most of) an earlier manuscript of this a while ago, @vcwills.bsky.social was my professor and mentor in things Marx in grad school. Finally ordered the book and it is really an instant classic in Marxist philosophy. The most thorough and original treatment of Marxian ethics I’ve read

A bully is the lowest thing a person can be. A bully enters a social sphere and sniffs out the Strong people — who of course aren’t actually strong in any virtuous sense but merely efficaciously cruel brutes with psychopathic fauxrisma— and cowers together with them, for safety

Having a good time is the mainest thing of life and that means everyone deserves the basic resources for flourishing, a social sphere, and the opportunity to plunk a war guy or sweatshop boss’s head onto a stake

There’s a lot I wish I did differently in this piece, kinda wrote it all in one burst in a waiting room years ago, but it at least hints at an issue in drugs discourse that I think has bigger implications. Published under a pseudonym for obvious reasons hardcrackers.com/class-on-cra...

Class on Crack

This is a story about crack, and everything that cracks underneath its weight. For the uninitiated, some exposition is warranted. The genre of the gonzo drug abuse romp has had its day, and neither...

This sometimes causes arguments that begin like “But you love HEGEL!” Which is true, I do think Hegel was perhaps the greatest philosopher, in his time, since Aristotle. So it can come off disciple-like. But he is simply much, much better

No subtype of philosophy nerd is as simultaneously totally devoted to, and totally unable to paraphrase or agree on the correct reading of their favorite Guy like Heideggerians. In combination with the extremely bad writing and question begging claims, it does make one wonder if —
