Human beings are social animals. The only way that other people wouldn’t be able to hurt me non-physically is if I were to cut myself off from my humanity.
…why would anyone want to do this?

Mmm nah I hate it.
That’s not exactly wrong, but it’s not the only reason. I’ve never been particularly interested LGBTQ+ issues, and Contrapoints’s transition first was kinda like, “K, I’m glad I’m learning about this stuff, I guess, but I have other interests.” After all, what drew me to both in the first place were their philosophical analyses and how they applied it to social issues. They were important to me for how they showed me how philosophy can be used, as opposed to DarkMatter5555 (I think that’s his name. Also, add him to the list), who I also used to watch, but that dude never grew out of the same stale template of animating god and the angel and regurgitating the most basic atheistic ideas.
So, my purpose in watching them was to learn how to apply principles to reality with a little learning along the way. But when they started focusing in on their transition, I just dropped off.
Yes. As a black man, America has produced a long very involved legacy of which I’m proud being my heritage.
Sure, it was absolutely founded on treating people like as sub-human, and there are people today that are trying to return me to that state, but fuck them as they’ve been fucked for the last century and a half. I’ll be damned if I let them represent America.
Contrapoints and PhilosophyTube were two big ones. I’d still watch Carlos Maza if he produced anything, but he hasn’t in like two years, so…I’ll include him, too.
The “solutions” to this are called theodicy and are definitely a fascinating rabbit hole. They’re all unsatisfying, but philosophically interesting
They’re not stupid. I doubt they’re even evil at first. But business demands have a way of disciplining economic actors.
Huge fan of water, personally. I drink literally a gallon of it every day. Usually more.
The KKK was never left wing.
God damn. Who tells people these things? And why does anyone believe them?

Some people like waste particles on their exposed toothbrushes. It keeps them healthy like vaccine: a daily tiny dose of literal shit.
It sounds good if you don’t think about anything
Exactly. Don’t uphold the law to avoid being shamed by Republicans. Do it because it’s the right thing to do and because it’s extremely important to the integrity of our society.
Who cares if they do? They literally lie to slander the “radical left” as they call it. They’re shameless and half the eligible voters are too.
That’s too broad sighted. They don’t care about the country. They’d be plutocrats of a well with a Korean curse on it if meant they had more water than the poors.
More the love of money is the root of all evil
I have the Purple Harmony pillow. It took some getting used to, but yes, it’s worth it. I use a silk pillow case because of my hair: 4C hair is dried out by cotton and people recommend not sleeping on it as a result. My hair has never been longer though, so I think that’s true too.
Sometimes, I forget how awful Trump is.
He can say true truly outrageous things and then somehow have them written off as less important than they really are because the media reports on it.
…but how?
