a chronic emeritus @yoe.bsky.social · 27/09/2026baffles me that badiou makes a fuss about being hostile to 'poetic' forms of philosophy, but then does stuff like calling specific political revolutions 'Truth events' (which despite what he might say, is clearly an 'aesthetic' idea imo) 110

a chronic emeritus @yoe.bsky.social · 07/09/2026imo a bad habit marxist academics adopt from marx is sacrificing clarity for clever turns of phrase. like i get why 'dictatorship of the proletariat' is a neat little hegelian linguistic trick but it's very easy to misunderstand and make the avg person imagine it means workers becoming tyrants lol 030
a chronic emeritus @yoe.bsky.social · 07/09/2026i feel like a lot of serious music listeners who are averse to contemporary popular forms of music basically have a kind of timbre-blindness or see timbre as a secondary/decorative element to the 'actual' music 240

a chronic emeritus @yoe.bsky.social · 07/09/2026blows my mind how people can have phds in philosophy and yet think the great Problems of our Time are 'nihilism', 'postmodernism', and lacking conceptual systems that accommodate 'objective value' 030
a chronic emeritus @yoe.bsky.social · 07/09/2026there's a perverse joy in knowing that when someone denounces whole swathes of things as a kind of debased culture, that they too partake of the slop, they just don't realise it can come in the form of artsy films and recordings of symphonies 100
a chronic emeritus @yoe.bsky.social · 06/09/2026maybe in order to believe in ai art both positively and negatively, art needs to be seen as a recipe/formula that can be figured out or cracked like a code. i think that's prob why the most vocal opponents of ai art are people with very draughtsman-y, craft-first views of what art 'is' 120
a chronic emeritus @yoe.bsky.social · 05/09/2026"pmc" discourse is genuinely more irritating than the annoying people theyre attacking which is continually impressive. it's like anti-woke guilt politics/self flagellating bcos you went to yale as a way to "appeal to the working class" lol 100
a chronic emeritus @yoe.bsky.social · 04/09/2026i think i reflexively wince at degradation/decay narratives about things broadly bcos it's so easy to then slip into thinking (almost purely through the effect of language, or what questions come to mind from thinking in these metaphors) anti-historically. 020

a chronic emeritus @yoe.bsky.social · 31/08/2026genuinely amazing how frequently mr. "truth is a mobile army of metaphors" gets taken up by people who think the exact opposite. anti-objectivity/perspectivism/relativism is basically the least ambiguous part of nietzsche (the answer is probably: they haven't read him Lol) 020
a chronic emeritus @yoe.bsky.social · 31/08/2026i think it can be hard to get a sense of idk pynchon, lynch etc simply bcos of the overwhelming and slightly fawning reviews from fans (OR, rebuttals from ppl who don't 'get it'), so it's always very interesting to read negative criticism which doesn't come from a place of misunderstanding 140
a chronic emeritus @yoe.bsky.social · 29/08/2026if anything 'proves' the historical descriptive power of 'postmodernity' as an idea, it's that we can sensibly talk about modernism as something we can decide to indulge in as a style vs the onslaught of pomo kitsch (which reheated modernism ironically fits quite comfortably into) 100
a chronic emeritus @yoe.bsky.social · 29/08/2026the idea of being a Founder is still so funny to me, like as if there's a Type of person who simply cannot help making startups. it's like breathing for them 020

a chronic emeritus @yoe.bsky.social · 27/08/2026idk if saying x type of thing is art or not is very useful — being dogmatic over what counts as art seems to sort of imply an attachment to Art as such as if 'Art' was like a form itself that has properties we can discuss other than the collection of properties all the things we call 'art' amount to 110

a chronic emeritus @yoe.bsky.social · 25/08/2026placing so much consequence on trends in philosophy departments is so silly lol. if communism/marxism/the left etc were defeated simply by some 'postmodern academics' writing a few books then that doesn't rlly inspire much confidence 020
a chronic emeritus @yoe.bsky.social · 24/08/2026interesting to think how sophisti pop (new wave?) was the next dialectical chess move after punk, where suddenly the signifiers of punk lose their radicality and in their place a return to pre-punk classiness emerges — though irreparably modified having passed through the art school-isms of punk 110

a chronic emeritus @yoe.bsky.social · 23/08/2026cultural 'elitism' isn't really that bad tbh, i feel like one of the major ways that challenging/difficult/weird art reproduces an audience is when you are confronted with the expectation that you *should* already know about it, and it produces a sort of intellectual panic/drive to get up to speed 120
a chronic emeritus @yoe.bsky.social · 23/08/2026i find it weird that some see art discourse as being dominated by negative non-trivial strong opinions (and so we shouldn't be too harsh etc), where at least to me it feels more like the dominant mode is inoffensive grey mush where everything is sort of treated as basically Ok 120
