this article is bizarre https://jasminewang.substack.com/p/attending-to-the-other … 95% of the time, I do not crave the attention of others, and - in fact - having it feels oppresive.

2/ > Simone Weil, the great French mystic who fasted to death in solidarity with frontline soldiers, said that “attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity”. Dude could have packed up a basket full of sandwiches, traveled to the front, and passed them out.

3/ Troops would have appreciated that. Instead...he starved himself to death "in solidarity". That right there delegitimizes every opinion and quote the idiot ever had in his life, IMO.

Simone Weil was a woman, and my read from her biography and late writings is that she was pretty seriously mentally ill.
Does it invalidate her philosophy? Yeah, I think so; she's an extremely unhealthy role model. Could she have "just" stopped being that way? I doubt it.
