reading this now seems they also misunderstand what "right-" and "left-hand path" mean in the Arts https://twitter.com/MScott_King/status/1461127450323214340?t=hOR7VahgAwwejqSEBc_Jew&s=19 …pic.twitter.com/kD44ok9kxo
this piece is fractally bad I don't even know where to start in criticizing it I guess at a high level its selection of features as "Modern" is completely unprincipled and unsystematic and its notion of tight correlation between left/right and post/premodernism is unexamined
at this point i think i should link @meaningness's essay covering exactly the same territory, but coherently and incisivelyhttps://metarationality.com/stem-fluidity-bridge …
i appreciate the yearning of the Modernist reactionaries for a sane, systematic world but modernism collapsed under the weight of its own shortcomings and contradictions. i dont think its possible to "go back" and i dont think doing so would yield the results the authors want
in the mean time i basically see them falling into the same trap as the failsons of the OG postmodernists, not quite grasping the framing of the world they purport to advance and slipping back into tiresome tribalism idk. i wish they wouldnt. the end
it's the right approach imho, when you bungle something this bad... yeah...
New Discourses is very useful in my view just as a glossary of sorts of horrific language we come across (It explained "bodies" and "folx" quite extensively, for example) Beyond that, eh, not for me
I like Helen a lot. But we are worlds apart on many subjects.
rephrasing... they're not the brightest, but their hearts are in the right place :)
This is not his worst take trust me.
I have only muted 1 person on this website. Guess who
