Never trusted philosophers even though I'm one of them. The response to covid finally shed a good deal of illusion. Old philosophers on one side such as Agamben and Badiou and a new gen of philosophers who are for the most part sober, serious, grim and above all mostly honest.

"Killing the father" is an old trope however ...is there really anything "new" under the sun? I found Badiou's response, not even in comparison to others but just in and of itself, precisely "sober", and even pragmatic in his suggestion we use this time to think seriously

Why do we need to see any rebellion as a revenge upon the father? The child who sees his/her mutiny as an oedipal reaction is doomed to begin with.

The oath you should remember by heart: 1. I'm a proud philosopher 2. I shall live like a shameless dog 3. I shall sleep in a barrel or a sewage if needed 4. As a shameless dog, I shall guard the gates of philosophy. 5. I shall chase out the enemies and bite the friends.

Incidentally, I cannot recommend Ryle's Plato's Progress enough, for what is effectively Plato fanfic.
