did you know “lent” is short for “length” it’s called that because the days are getting longer that’s all it means
@aschmitz i was about to say Eve Online lol
a minecraft server is literally like a cult, because there is no account portability and the moderators have all the power. but if there was only one minecraft server for the entire world, it wouldn’t matter that there still wouldn’t be account portability and moderators would still have all the power, because it’s impossible for a cult to be the entire world! that doesn’t even make sense but does not in any way challenge my previous assertions
i want to see the things that minecraft youtube microcelebrities are making every day and to be able to interact and contribute to them in inane and likely detrimental ways that everyone else will ignore or else start flamewars over, this is important to me
what if minecraft but instead of lots of smaller community-oriented servers we just had one big server, and the monsterhunters and casual builders and griefers all just had to learn to live together?? as it stands if i make something cool on one server, nobody on the other servers can see it and this is bad
@wallhackio @Satsuma the human, as opposed to Miko, the cat
@iitalics@octodon.social i think, charitably, hegel is admired because he cracked open the door for doing this, which marx (who was originally a hegelian and later a hegelian critic) pushed open further (alongside nietzsche and freud), which paved the way for the likes of foucalt, deleuze, and derrida, which then enabled the likes of judith butler and jasbir puar…
UNcharitably, hegel is liked because he is seen as the last philosopher BEFORE continental philosophy went off the deep end with all this other stuff, which makes him the culmination of western philosophy to a certain mindset, unless you want to count american “philosophies” like effective altruism or whatever
@iitalics@octodon.social there are two responses to this; the first that we simply should not interrogate knowledge production and accept white christian roman thought as given so we can make sensible arguments that people can understand (American philosophy), the second that we can’t get anywhere without FIRST critiquing knowledge production, and having sensible arguments that people understand is an acceptable loss (continental philosophy)
