I’ve often been told that studying philosophy was pointless or self-indulgent, but how would they know that we have Thrasymachus from Republic directing our foreign and domestic policy.

Never was there a religious fundamentalist who’s said they’re going to pray for me, with that stereotypical dripping condescension, whose life wasn’t an objective moral disaster.

I hope you all can enjoy the exquisite and sublime pleasure of dispatching a TERF in the replies of their own thread so severely that they ask you if you’re a man or a woman.

The moments where Nietzsche scares me most are when he sounds like Marx. There’s a moment in Utility and Liability of History 5 where he does a “philosophy has only interpreted the world; the point is to change it.”

The herd this, the herd that. Yes Friedrich, you’re so above it all. And you hate Hegel, we know.
But then he’ll throw you one of those prescient and exacting descriptions of people I’ve known. It’s scary. He scares me.

I shouldn’t like Godfather II but it is my favorite. I say shouldn’t because of the homophobic representation of its gay villain, Don F-Slur. You know that diva was frequenting the bathhouses.

After watching the trailer of the newest adaptation, and especially if you haven’t read the novel, you’d be forgiven for thinking Wuthering Heights is about being gorgeous and sexy, and not about a haunted landlord / domestic abuser.

The gayest story Aristotle ever told was about that tyrant who was a bottom. And the oppressed citizens overheard him proclaiming his desire to be impregnated by his boyfriend. And the citizens said: we will not suffer this indignity, of having a bottom as a tyrant and ruler. So they overthrew him.

This week I learned (an ancient) someone without any appreciation or interest in philosophy inherited Aristotle’s entire corpus and put it in their basement where it was consumed by mold and worms. Thanks a lot to that man.
