#The hegelian dialectic

[theoptia]

Hegel’s logic deals with the development of God's thinking, prior to the creation of the world, and is called heavenly logic. However, unlike formal logic, it does not merely deal with the formal laws of thought. Although it holds itself to be the development of God's thinking, it attempts to deal with the most universal definitions and laws of reality.

Thesis: Pee before sex because it's more comfortable without a full bladder

Antithesis: Pee after sex to reduce the risk of STIs

Synthesis: Pee during sex

I really love the concept of an Atsushi / Akutagawa / Kyouka trio as it was shown in Dead Apple, and I really wish it would become a thing. I think it's neat how here Kyouka's dominant color is shown being purple as balance / synthesis of blue and red. Kyouka also uses as this kind of bridge between organizations since she was a member of both at some point, and still holds a very deep understanding of how they work. I think Kyouka could really make the sskk team work as a way to find balance between these two opposites that would otherwise clash and destroy each other.

do i ship wincest. yeah they're an inseparable pair on a narrative and thematic level, can you truly understand one without understanding the other? they're two halves of a dialectic on heroism and sacrifice. they're two points on the family trauma survivor spectrum, sometimes opposing, sometimes intersecting. they're like watching your parents who should've gotten a divorce years ago somehow stay together, against all reason. they're two inheritors of a rugged American masculinity and isolated individualism, internal and external violence springing forth. regressing to the nostalgia of frontier brotherhood as substitute for the nuclear family. they're a set of quintessential outlaw lovers. maybe true love only exists in the kind of freedom you keep when you're always moving, on the road, in your childlike bubble excluded from society, left with nowhere to burrow your roots except into each other's very being. they're the world's loneliest childhood shared between two feral dogs, one biting down on the other, unable to let go. they're the fantasy of an unconditional love so powerful it can survive the apocalyptic enormity of your own self-loathing. they're a set of matryoshka dolls, one consuming the other. journeys end in lovers meeting, but what kind of journey is it really when you've never left home: it's been sitting in the seat next to you this entire time. your haunted house is not a home but a person who'll never let go. they're an erotic fantasy of domestic horror as a sweet, sickening embrace as opposed to an all-consuming fire, a car driving off into heaven's sunset as opposed to one crashing into a tree. (wrong: they're both). so horribly enmeshed and trapped in a magnified love so destructive to the world around them they leave catherine and heathcliff wuthering heights in the dust. they're two brothers trapped in a 15 year long spiral of an abusive codependent pseudo-marriage, in part due to a network unable to let go of a successful show format, thus unable to afford them any growth that might disturb the status quo. but the implications of it all.

He wasn’t just “phenomenal” at Philosophy if you know what I mean…

Tie me up and put a knife to my throat, Edge my cock and interrogate me to reveal everything I know.. Threaten to end it all if I even think about cumming.

This! but with deeply philosophical questions that you cannot possibly answer

I want to know your philosophy-ask-game opinion on Evette Lambsbridge. (Headmate Evette, probably, since that's the only one we see in any depth.)

SEND ME A WILDBOW CHARACTER YOU LOVE. I WILL TELL YOU WHICH PHILOSOPHICAL THOUGHT EXPERIMENT YOU SHOULD GET REALLY OPINIONATED ABOUT (SLASH DEVELOP A PSYCHOSEXUAL FIXATION ON)

The obvious move here would be to focus on all the personal identity-related thought experiments that can be applied directly to headmates. For instance, I could say Evette fans want to fuck the too-many-thinkers problem—though that'd be too cute, as well as somewhat misleading. More importantly, I want this to be something that applies to Evette fans, not just fans of the concept of headmates—even if "young man gets possessed by the mind of a young woman" is already easy to fit as a psychosexual fixation. Out of respect for Evette as a character, we wont take the easy route.

The truth can't be denied. Fans of Evette want to fuck Hegel's concept of antithesis.

(or alternatively, wants to fuck the dialectical/negatively rational moment insofar as it opposes the moment of fixity).

My evidence:

Evette exists as a reaction to the concept of Sylvester

This is both in the sense that Sy's self-concept collapsed in such a way that a new concept had to emerge (not out of nothing, but rather guided by and in response to the previous concept),

and in the sense that she is the personification of the struggles Sy has endured within his typical mode/concept ("I am Sy's pain").

She is seemingly defined by having an oppositional attitude towards everything: the Academy, Mauer for some reason, the rest of the lamb headmates, Sy's relationship with Jessie, etc.

This extends even to her fashion, which is noted to be mod and eccentric. This is best read as a statement/reaction against hegemonic aesthetic norms.

She got naked and covered herself in soap to make herself hard to grab (the concept of antithesis is slippery).

She's a necessary part of the causal chain that resulted in Sylvester's eventual Sy-nthesis (boo) and post arc-14 character growth, dubious as that growth may be.

Relatedly, she prefigures the synthesis of Lord Simon from Sy and the Infante headmate.

This would normally be the part where I write a short blurb sexualizing the relevant concept in the character's voice, but if you can't already sexualize this—

—then you're beyond help

He walked straight into the lions den and now he's paying for it. Walked in under prepared, and so caught up in his own plans that he neglected to account for how dangerous a place it would be he'd find himself. He should of listened to Arcade. He should of avoided all contact with the legion. Yet here he stands in the tent of Caesar staring down the man who once shot him in the head. Ordered to choose this mans fate. Disparaged for a lack of blood lust when he'd proposed freeing him.

The concealed 22. in his coat feels like it's weighing him down. The 'machete' that's more lawnmower blade that's in his hand- ill-fitting for a physician. He's running through his options. He doesn't want to kill Benny, but... two attack dogs. Five praetorians. Caesar himself. Two other high ranking legion officers... Another guard, another dog, both waiting outside with his friend and robot.

He feels ill. He's overheating. The ground is uneven. Every imperfection of the wrappings around the machete dig into his hand. There is no winning a fight here.

'Close your eyes if you want to.' 'Make it clean.' 'I shall.'

Despite his best efforts - It takes 16 strikes.

16 strikes. Followers coat now drenched in blood. He looks back to Caesar and wonders whether he looks as bloodthirsty as he was asked to be, or simply as terrified as he feels.

The genealogy of feminist standpoint theory begins in Hegel’s account of the master/slave dialectic, and subsequently in Marx and, particularly, Lukacs’ development of the idea of the standpoint of the proletariat. Hegel argued that the oppressed slave can eventually reach a state of freedom of consciousness as a result of her/his realization of self-consciousness through struggles against the master, and via involvement through physical labor in projects that enable her/him to fashion the world—to affect it in various ways. Hegel’s analysis of the struggle inherent in the master/slave relationship gave rise to the insight that oppression and injustice are better analyzed and understood from the point of view of the slave than from that of the master. Marx and Engels, and, later, Lukacs developed this Hegelian idea within the framework of the dialectic of class consciousness, thereby giving rise to the notion of a standpoint of the proletariat (the producers of capital) as an epistemic position that, it was argued, provided a superior starting point for understanding and eventually changing the world than that of the controllers and owners of capital. The Hegelian and Marxist traditions, then, provide the genesis of standpoint theorists’ claim that the ‘double vision’ afforded to those who experience social relations from a position of marginality can, under certain circumstances, offer them epistemic advantage. Although their genealogy begins in the Hegelian and Marxist traditions, some current feminist standpoint theories are also located squarely within an empiricist tradition in epistemology. These feminist epistemologies extend the traditional empiricist commitment to experience and observation as the starting points for knowledge. Following Quine and his successors, they recognize and acknowledge that observation is theory-laden and that those theories themselves are artifacts of our making. They also draw on the insight that a set of observation-based data can serve as equally credible evidence for more than one of those theories.

The way Arab liberals will say that I'm "basically Arab" because of the way we're perceived in diaspora vs. Persians and Iranians insisting I'm Iranian FIGHT. Stop killing us over this and starting fighting each other maybe idk

Wickedness also resides in the gaze that perceives itself as innocent and surrounded by wickedness.

I used to be into Hegel a lot more and then I decided that it was much more interesting and also easier to study Plato which really says a lot more about Hegel than Plato given that 18th-19th century Germany is generally less of a foreign planet than 5th-4th century BCE Athens and also German is much easier to read than Ancient Greek.
