‘i scalp tickets to get by and feed my family in the la suburbs between articles about white males kept down by dei’

fuck off, you are showboating now
screenshot “AN INTERVIEW WITH THE NOTORIOUS JACOB SAVAGE Who are you? I haven't come across your byline before but you really set the internet on fi-yah with your Compact piece. I'm a suburban dad in the LA suburbs. I scalp concert tickets, mostly. I came out here to write screenplays. What prompted you to write the piece? The sense with it is that you said what everybody was thinking.“

That’s very obnoxious phrasing

Andrew Doyle is also Spiked!, historically Nick Cohen mentions Brendan O’Neill, Kenan Malik, James Panton (an amazing number of people for one tiny online magazine!)

It’s effectively common knowledge by now, no?

screenshotted text “ In the 1990s, the party’s leaders decided to give up on socialism and move into the media. And like good Leninists, the rank and file obeyed their superiors’ orders and abandoned their previous convictions on demand. The Moral Maze is now its base at the BBC and is on the radio as I write. Claire Fox of the Institute of Ideas, which the party’s cadres founded when they decided that Trotsky was wrong after all, is on the panel and one of the witnesses is a contributor to Spiked, the institute’s online journal. When I last appeared on the programme, one of the witnesses was Brendan O’Neill, the editor of Spiked, and half the panel — the author Kenan Malik and James Panton, an Oxford academic — were Spiked regulars. I waited for Michael Buerk, the presenter, to tell listeners that a fair proportion of his guests came from this cosy coterie. He never did. Nor do his colleagues. If you come across a new voice on a Radio 4 talk show, talking with loudmouthed conviction, the odds are that he or she will be from the RCP/Institute of Ideas. Indeed, if you want to become a talking head on Radio 4, the best advice I can give you is to join the RCP crowd. As an aspiring pundit you will need to subscribe to the following notions: that the British mollycoddle their children and foolishly protect them from the rough and tumble of childhood with anti-bullying campaigns; that human rights are a joke and humanitarian intervention a crime; that we live in a therapeutic culture, under whose yoke the State tells us how to live, love and grieve; that social workers are agents of oppression; that psychiatrists aren’t much better; and that environmentalism is a reactionary attempt to stop human progress. ”

from a 200 years dead philosopher to a 25 years dead and 50 years post-relevant composer

Nicholas Schuringa mistakenly locates a colonialist impulse in analytic philosophy which properly belongs equally to the analytic and post-Kantian traditions as invested in these exhaustingly well-pedigreed men
some complete fucking nonsense in a screenshotted tweet “ The point is not that Xenakis is successfully remodeling music on “nature,” stochastically and “emergently” understood. The point is that his music is expressing the dissolution of nature under the condition of the dominance of instrumental reason. 4/4”

can you imagine claiming to hold in your very hands the philosophical key to all of freedom and human dignity and THIS is your philosophy of art?

“oh its how our particular species reproduces itself”

come ON

the philosophers can no longer be allowed to involve themselves in and hold art hostage
screenshot of an unnamed tweet “ True Materialism lays the groundwork for my next two projects: Hegel’s Bio-Aesthetics and Reason’s Nature. HBA articulates the work of art as an essential - not ornamental - way in which we reproduce ourselves, staging the debate between Hegel and Kant, Heidegger and Adorno.” with “way in which we reproduce ourselves” highlighted

screenshot of a horrible new york times op-ed You might object that this is a verbal trick, that I’m arguing that A.I. will become conscious because we’ll start using the word “conscious” to include it. But there is no trick. There is always a feedback loop between our theories and the world, so that our concepts are shaped by what we discover. Consider the atom. For centuries, our concept of the atom was rooted in an ancient Greek notion of indivisible units of reality. As late as the 19th century, physicists like John Dalton still conceived of atoms as solid, indivisible spheres. But after the discovery of the electron in 1897 and the discovery of the atomic nucleus in 1911, there was a revision of the concept of the atom — from an indivisible entity to a decomposable one, a miniature solar system with electrons orbiting a nucleus. And with further discoveries came further conceptual revisions, leading to our current complex quantum-mechanical models of the atom. These were not mere semantic changes. Our understanding of the atom improved with our interaction with the world. So too our understanding of consciousness will improve with our interaction with increasingly sophisticated A.I.

“ On 30 August, the American comedian Tim Dillon took to his podcast, The Tim Dillon Show, to defend his decision to perform at the Riyadh Comedy Festival. ‘I know that people are very upset about it, they’re angry that comedians are going ... Get over it,’ he said. ‘A lot of people are doing it. Like a lot. Like almost everyone. They bought comedy ... So what they have slaves? ... They’re paying me $375,000 ... enough money to look the other way.’ The Saudi government, unluckily for Dillon, was listening. Three weeks later, he released an episode called ‘Fired from Riyadh’. His agent had rung him up: ‘“They heard what you said about their having slaves.” And I said: “I was being positive about it. I was defending them.”’”

of course the advantage of a book’s being published on substack with no editorial review is that you can go and read for yourself that it’s self-important dreck
screenshot of the book in question: In their place: sleek white surfaces, cruelly bright lights, a gender-neutral sign. I tried two cubicles before finding one without pee on the seat. Emerging, I found myself face-to-face with a man. I washed my hands perfunctorily and ran out. In the café — filled with laughing young women and men, or the Guardian-reading middle-aged — it was business as usual. But for me, everything had changed. So that’s it, I thought. No more hanging out in a women’s space; young women will never get to know how that feels. The complicity. The whispers. The chance conversations as you paint your lips, the sympathetic glances in murky mirrors. The refuge from boys who mocked your body, from anxiety attacks, from the red stain at the back of your skirt — your best friend crouched beside you with a nail brush. For all of my youth, wherever I went, I knew the women’s toilets like travellers once knew sanctuaries along a dangerous road. And now, bit by bit, that map will be torn up. But this isn’t just about toilets, despite women’s toilets being among the few spaces ever carved out for women’s privacy in public life. It isn’t even about safety. This is the trap postmodern feminism has set: in erasing sex, it disarms the feminist project. We are left with no ground to stand on — and no shared name to rally under. It is symbolic. Something has been displaced. Overnight, it felt, I had lost my place on the earth. A small, concrete part of being a woman had quietly been erased. And sitting in that café, it seemed I was the only one who thought it mattered.

satire is trans
screenshot of stodgy beloved book review website, text reads: “Satire without the Jokes [by] Colin Burrow To think of a satirist as a person who angrily turns against a gale-force wind and sprays liquefied shit at a group of constantly multiplying targets would not be entirely wrong. The truly misanthropic, universally and riotously angry satirist can perform acts of harm which are also acts of self-harm, as their imagination fires itself up with a disgust that is also a form of self-disgust.” illustration is from Gulliver’s Travels or some shit

Excuse the large question marks but I was *genuinely* shocked to see them transition from an illustration of Aristotelian essences and accidents to the claim about natural selection
screenshot of text. A sentence is highlighted towards the end and three large very surprised question marks have been drawn in highlighter around that sentence “Suppose that one cuts off the wings of a hawk. The hawk can no longer fly. One has not thereby made it more similar to a cheetah, even though cheetahs cannot fly either. Cutting the wings off a hawk creates one similarity between it and a cheetah, but it creates many differences too. In particular, a hawk that cannot fly is severely disabled, while a cheetah that cannot fly is not. Left to its own devices, the hawk will soon die; the cheetah is in no special danger. Before its wings were cut off, the hawk was like the cheetah in being able to move quickly and hunt prey. Now, it can do neither. [open highlight] The example reflects a central insight of the theory of evolution by natural selection [closed highlight]. Similar biological functions and abilities are realized differently in animals of different species.”
