I'm reading Deleuze's book on Immanuel Kant (Kant's Critical Philosophy: The Doctrine of the Faculties). I'm gonna read Kant for the first time since I was a teenager soon, probably work my way through all three critiques and some essays. Need some grounding in some rigorous philosophy when the world's in chaos

the only good nazi is a dead nazi, which means charlie kirk is good indeed
we are and always have been a nation ruled by mammonites and false prophets, and trump is simply the culmination of this tradition
Cruelty is foolish
i return to the thought process that i should try and carve out an anonymous place for myself on nostr, because of how social media in general feels so precarious. archives being wiped out, no control. but i feel a strange sense of chaos regardless of which app i use, it feels like everything on nostr is strangely empty yet rushing so so fast. i want something but idk if this is it
flows of money, flows of images, and flows of language are indeer forces. flows of matter of any kind is a force. our bodies are composed of forces
i'm so horribly useless and depressed and i hate myself lmao
Important to keep in mind that the inorganic extensions of your body can still cause you pain. Trying to escape being hurt by living your life through objects will only objectify your suffering.
Spent a few months reading Hume, I think the next philosopher I read is going to be Margaret Cavendish. She seems interesting. Anybody on here know much about her? (I'm reading a biography first lol)

I'm depressed, but things could be worse. I'm so isolated lately. I want to connect with people but I'm so so scared to be seen or known, especially now

Not sure what you mean by shocking, but based on what I've heard, just about anything by Aron Beauregard will do it
ngl I'm really glad nostr exists, now
My body is a machine that converts coffee into anxiety
o universo só pode estar me trollando.
"Researchers from Google recently issued a paper describing what they call a 'Habermas machine,' a LLM meant to help 'small groups find common ground while discussing divisive political issues' by iterating 'group statements that were based on the personal opinions and critiques from individual users, with the goal of maximizing group approval ratings.' Participants in their study 'consistently preferred' the machine-generated statements to those produced by humans in the group and helped reduce the diversity of opinion within the group, which researchers interpret as 'AI … finding common ground among dicussants with diverse views.'"

That sounds both kinda fascinating and extremely disturbing. Especially since LLMs, in my experience, have a lot of trouble rephrasing or summarizing things I say in a way I would agree with. Maybe it's just the way I communicate, but I don't trust AI to speak for me at all.
Sometimes I want to be so so cruel
if mental illness didn't make reading so hard for me i would read so many fuckin books
This can only go on for so long. Without support, the illusion of self tends to come undone. The individual is a product which must continually be maintained by an entire apparatus of becoming. At this point in history, it is a global system of precarity which makes the "I am" emerge from chaos, and it is visibly falling apart.
mi pilin ike lon tenpo ale :(
Language is a system of control
