I think there's a genuine dialectical movement from tragedy to tragicomedy to comedy and Hegel mistook this movement for philosophy. I'm most interested in tragicomedy as a problem for capitalism

Overheard in graduate school a few years back:
"I used to love Kanye's early music, up through 'Yeezus,' but now I just don't know if I can separate the work from the person."
"Dude, you're writing a dissertation on Heidegger."

Ye, fka Kanye West, takes out a full-page in the Wall Street Journal to apologize to the Black community, and for antisemitism:

In the first philosophy class I took, my professor, God bless her, told me that she isn't allowed to tell us to overthrow the US government by because of her contract. In the Amanda Askell Claude NYT interview they talk about a section in the "Claude Constitution" where Claude is never to be used

Look, I believe in casts, but if a parent has strongly-held anti-cast beliefs, they should be allowed to let their kid’s broken arm grow back all floppy and fucked up, even to the point of lifelong, debilitating pain. And that’s not child abuse because a kid’s bones are their parents’ property

Just found a dataset of my old tweets (because someone decided to finetune GPT2 on them to create a language model of me and publish it on huggingface) and it's 540 pages. I wrote 540 pages of tweets.

Since we’ve had an influx of new folks—did you hear about my book Gender/Fucking: The Pleasures and Politics of Living in a Gendered Body?
Asking what we can learn from sexual arousal, the book takes a raw and thought-provoking look at community, queerness, fetishization, trauma, and hope.

Money operates on predication: S is valuable, and by extension, S can be exchanged. To truly dismantle money, the predicative structure itself must collapse. That is, the abstraction that connects "value" to "exchangeability" has to be rethought—radically.

The thing about my preferred ethnic group's apocalyptic violence is that it's the first moment of a dialectical process through which concrete universality as opposed to abstract 'universality' unfolds
