My utilitarian take is that ethicists should all be beaten to death with a stick
#WHAT IS WRONG WITH PHILOSOPHERS...#they will say the most out of pocket shit to strawman and undermine the simplest ideas...#why does the criticisms section of the wiki page for utilitarianism have racial slurs in it#can ethicists be normal for one second#also funny that most of the arguments against utilitarianism. you know. the ethics system centered on practicality.#are just people bringing up completely improbable/impractical scenarios as a gatcha

i do find it a bit funny when furries talk about how furry art is literally divine and not like anything else on earth and you're basically a revolutionary for being a furry. guys please. everything is literally just normal. the beautiful thing about furry art is that it can literally be anything and has endless range. the bigger problem is that people generally don't want to take furry art seriously in any context. but people taking things too weirdly seriously are also an issue... like when people talk about how 'furry art can't be xyz because furries are so unique minded and dope and whatever the fuck'. like no. furry art Never is just one thing. yes even that thing you don't like and get nothing from and think is lame and not in the 'spirit' of furry art still is furry art. in my humble opinion.
i mean yeah. different people have widely different definitions of what Furry Art is. but it does make me feel weird when people say 'this isn't furry art because it's not what I think furry art is'. and im not talking about furry haters btw though they are guilty of this too. furries themselves do this and are sometimes on this weird furry art crusade. Caalm down. Everything is literally normal.
#AND don't take me wrong#i dont mean this in the 'its not that deep' way#it is that deep. sometimes. and sometimes it isnt#you cant just say furry art is this deep philosophical artful meaningful thing ALL OF THE TIME#and thus decide that the art that you personally don't like and don't see as 'deep' isnt furry art#or isnt what 'furry art' is#what does Nothing for you and hell even for the wider majority of people can still be meaningful to others#so like#trying to create examples of what 'furry art' isnt is just#telling someone who is a furry and does art like that#that their art is not welcome

Kinda think we do philosophy wrong
#I spend 5 minutes studying philosophy and I’m like what am I even thinking about. these words aren’t real#so maybe I just do philosophy wrong#but yeah#it’s antithetical to my nature!#that’s why I need a story to learn stuff#that’s embodied philosophy#that’s philosophy that means stuff#sometimes I read philosophical stuff and I’m like rejected. there’s nothing sacramental about this#what does it matter it has no roots in the world#you aren’t talking about real things anymore! no wonder that guy had to go touch grass!

the way other fanfic writers write boys and men tells me a lot of you have never observed men interacting in the wild much less had male friends of your own. he literally wouldn't do that
#not me studying male coworkers and classmates for “authentic behavior”#group of men just as dumb as a group of women though the brain cell count drops faster XD#however a mixed group where everyone's input matters usually gets stuff done and is a lot of fun#power imbalance in a mixed group is a palpable joy killer eg the guy/gal who thinks they're in charge#but if your guy friends and your gal friends are all equally down for hijinks#it is SO fun#anyway the best fics in any trope are ones where men actually act like men#straight gay bi it does not matter men by and large behave similarly with each other#sometimes you get the sensitive thoughtful types who read and philosophize#but they still watch sports and they still play in the dirt boys will be boys etc#writing fanfic#and even some of the best men will second guess a woman's testimony if another man has a shred of doubt#the boys club is real and it's everywhere#not even women trust each other that much ime#most importantly everyone is multifaceted and wrong sometimes#guys can mean well and mess up#they aren't knights in shining armor they're just dudes doing what they think is right or normal

Anyone else ever think about how the last hero’s legend is a story about a group of 13 companions who went out into the winter cold as an act of self sacrifice to save those they left behind? And how that is knowingly or unknowingly replicated in the northern tradition where old men venture out to die in the harsh winters so that those left behind have a higher chance of survival? It’s just me? Ok.
#it’s like winter is coming and the starks being the kings of winter - it’s a legacy of the long night that the northmen long forgot#funny how their mantra is the north remembers sksnsjsns yeah they remember the wrong shit I cannot rn#anyway its a less interesting exercise to identify which character is going to fit into which legend#it’s more rewarding to look at how the cultural practices that exist within all these regions: essos the north etc#might inform on how these characters philosophize whatever roles they have and what actions they ought to take#asoiaf#valyrianscrolls

How some people feel after shitting on people’s interests just because they’re popular or “basic”, and assuming they’re better than them for having niche interests (you’re the problem):


For anyone who needs to hear it, just because someone’s extroverted or enjoys popular things doesn’t mean they’re stupid or that they even can’t have niche interests too. Crazy insane mental concept, people aren’t one dimensional. Touch grass. Or kys. Whatever works best really
#listen I hate booktok but yes certain trends on there sparked this post#‘You should read silly romance!’ (what I read) and then it’s like Dostoevsky or something#like ok I hate Colleen Hoover and dark ‘romance’ shit too but girl bsfr#just because you like philosophical cerebral media doesn’t mean you can’t have some silliness and whimsy#if you think I’m not reading fucking War and Peace and then immediately binging objectively shitty romcom sitcoms#you’re WRONG#to quote Chappell Roan YOURE NOT FUN!#anyway#media#books#films#music#pop music#pop culture

unfortunately, i believe i am becoming obsessed with miss stevie martin's performance on taskmaster which is a damn shame because celebrities will never know me,
#i'm philosophical#taskmaster#stevie martin#continuously thinking about the amount of times she's shouted FUCK out loud in the show#as well as her interesting movement choices#what is wrong with her /pos#“if i dont find it soon i'M GONNA DRINK IT!!!”

me, thinking about all the different aus in my head that i will never get to write in my lifetime:
what if rosie rosenthal (from MotA), with his dark curls and good-natured personality (but can be unhinged when he needs to be), who is also a lawyer-by-trade,
meets -
eoin mcgonigal (from SAS: RH), with his dark curls and good-natured personality (but can be unhinged when he needs to be), who is also a lawyer-by-trade.
#rosie rosenthal#eoin mcgonigal#also imagine if they meet and augustin jordan is also there#and then the three of them meet paddy mayne#i think paddy would have a heart attack#sas rogue heroes#three lawyers (one american and two irish) plus a french philosopher what could go wrong

i do actually headcanon that angoulême had some friends spread throughout beauclair & throughout the sansretour valley. but they weren’t good friends. just… “i know a guy” type of deals. very golan drosdeck type of random association like. you’re nineteen. how do you know all of these people. idk. it’s a small criminal underworld after all. but like drosdeck she would have debts with all of them and none of them would be willing to help her and some still are looking to scam her. and despite her… ‘worldliness’, she is still quite naïve
#and i mean this to parallel & contrast with regis who is just now meeting some people… well… ‘people’ … beings…#(as opposed to having a history with them)#but all the new connections are souring in real time#just because of philosophical and ideological clashes and intellectual arrogance#(as opposed to having debts and having wronged people)#i mean naïve as in vulnerable as well like essentially when schirrú grabs her and puts a knife to her throat#or how she and her bros walked into artevelde’s ambush#like you’re smart but you get outsmarted way too much but it’s only because you’re not even 20 yet#the elbow-high diaries#in short to live a dream#oh and all of them sre very confused if regis shows up with her. extremely non sequitur acquaintance#but i think only one sees him before he feels its too awkward#‘next time i shall accompany you inside sotto voce’#she crinkles her nose. ‘what does that mean’ . ‘i’ll be around’ . disappears. OK. what is she supposed to make of that. lol

regardless of what i say toward michiru (or kazumi to a lesser extent), i don't think anything will ever compare to how severe my feelings for lurien were and still are (i've just gotten shy since i rarely post abt hk anymore, i don't want it to solely be 'this bug needs to be real so i can spend the rest of my days tending to him' . . .)
#I FEAR TO SAY IT. BUT AGAIN: THE THINGS I WOULD DO FOR THAT OLD MAN!!!#jestersvaguely#i also get too shy speaking at length abt my thoughts regarding michiru as well. because that's a lot more genuine#'i think we'd have a real connection' - and there isn't even the barrier of 'let's discuss Iurien and aster'#where indulging them is still nice because i get to see glimpses of Iurien's happiness even when not directed toward me as im accustomed to#but i want michiru to look At Me. and after a night of humoring her with the philosophical and morbid i want to have her blood on my tongue#and have her feel my heartbeat and hear it when it's like this and feel the same exhilaration of someone who truly Understands desire#not only in a romantic sense but in the grand scheme of what is worthwhile to pursue or even fantasize. even as individuals#but i digress. ok. ok. ok. nothing wrong with me 🚬

growing up is such a funny experience because like. 90% of my memories i look back on can be categorized into either “oh my god why did i think that was embarsssing” or “oh my god why DIDNT i think that was embarsssing”
#for instance: posting on tumblr/being in fandoms (1st category) and correcting ppl on stupid stuff like a stadiums renaming (2nd category)#yes i know i spelled embarrassing wrong twice 😔😔#it’s so funny cause when i was younger i was always like ‘growing up won’t change me THAT much 🙄🙄’#you’ll never guess what keeps happening…#i mean it’s not like crazy crazy but it is a noticeable change that i’d like to hope is for the better#okay whoops did not mean to get roughly philosophical and nostalgic at 8am#this is what happens when i have work at 5am two days in a row

wait i was wondering if Dr. Gaul's name was in reference to Charles de Gaul, like gaulism, like 'if we want to avoid another wwii we have to have a strong france not reliant on allies' guy (so like, nationalism. just specific)
so like i googled just "gaul" to see if that was what came up or something else
gaul was an ancient way of referring to like that whole region? like france and others? like charles de gaul leader of france in ww2 was named like
Chuck from Here?
#ballad of songbirds and snakes#upon googling turns out it's spelled charles de gaulle#still you get my point#are most of the other names roman? i was listening to the audiobook idk how they're spelled#maybe part of the function of dr gauls name is setting her apart?#she's playing a whole different game than the rest of the people with power in the capitol#like they're focused on the survival and wealth and position of their family legacies#she's focused on perpetuating her ideals. her doctrine. her worldview#wish i could remember which part of the book made me think of the tabula rasa thing. wasn't that a french philosopher?#i could google that but anyway like blank slate. humanity not sinful at birth but tainted by society. is that what snow was?#that her ideology of humanity's baser urges towards violence in desperation was something that was printed onto him?#oh john locke not french guy english#anyway maybe it was something snow said or ah shit how do i not remember her name. grey#is it lucy? i just keep wanting to say jane grey but i think that's a different tragic figure#anyway point was that from gauls view only snow and other capitol elite are clean white blank from birth if anyone is#but human nature or panem culture or history or whatever teaches them violence?#or the opposite? that using kids in the games means they don't have to be taught violence that even with a blank slate it's innate?#i'm on a whole tangent here i have half a mind to delete all these tags but we#i don't have an english class to discuss these books in someone tell me how im wrong and fulfill the itch for Discussion

animal welfare shit is soetmhing ive devoted countless hours and days and weeks getting into the weeds of the discourse & research & philosophy of but its always so hard to articulate especially when its something people get so heated about
#im realizing now my beef with how people go about indoor cat discourse just feels i guess like. dismissive of peoples legitimate concerns#about their cats welfare#like sure you can abuse your animal while thinking youre doing whats best for it. but philosophically i legitimately empathize with#people who do it out of a desire for their cat to live a more happy enriched life#even if the cons outweigh the pros especially considering the ecological impact#i guess its the nuancers curse like jesus christ people calm the fuck down#also the 'im going to steal your indoor outdoor cat' just personally rubs me the wrong way since my own cat got stolen#when i only let him outside supervised & it was my dad that let him into the front yard (no fence; by the road)#because i was 1. a child 2. in another country at the time#like sure maybe you could say the person did the right thing idk im gonna be upset about it though lol

I might be too stupid or too western to understand Houseki no Kuni. Can you guys at least tell me if the manga is good? If you guys liked it?
I'm unsure about it, I have criticisms and I feel like I like the version of it in my head better.
But I'm afraid to say anything on that because I think it's just my idiot perception.
#I don't want to piss on the poor you know?#houseki no kuni#hnk#lotl#land of the lustrous#phosphophyllite#this is a very philosophical manga so maybe I'm just wrong#maybe I just don't have what it takes
