watching criminal minds but then realizing it's copaganda so i turn on house md to show that i hate The Man but then realizing it endorses a utilitarian paternalist model of practicing medicine that i'm not super on board with so i turn on supernatural for its deontological underpinnings but then i realize it's copaganda

i need to reread the entire quartet so that i can post about antonio, i need to post about how his fragile mind (in the lineage of melina the mad woman) stands in harsh contrast to nino's very firm and evolved intellect (in the lineage of donato the poet). <- in lenù's romantic and sexual escapades of course and not as an objective statement. i think there's something about how lenù at times dichotomizes lila and projects lila onto her romantic partners and the reason she's drawn to both of these men is that there is some of lila in each of them though of course more obviously in nino. and ultimately it is this failure to reconcile lila's nature and to some extent lenù's own nature that leads to her disillusionment with both men. hang on this post was supposed to be about antonio

date idea: you come over and we take turns listing our least favorite things about me and then you tell me all the reasons why i should kill myself and then i confess all my sins to you and you say "oh wow, you're an even worse person than i THOUGHT you were!" and then you brutally beat me and leave me bleeding and bruised on my carpet and then you say "man, you really could've been something, but it's too late now. look at yourself. it's too late." and then you leave!

i love reading, i love thinking about what i am currently reading, i love thinking about what i am going to read next, i love being privileged enough to be able to read, read, read, and read so much that i never tire of it

it's funny, no one else in this philosophy seminar is an ethicist, they're all philmind / philmath / phenomenology / metaphysics etc, and i expected to feel really stupid around them. and to some extent i DO because they throw around inaccessible terminology like it's going out of style. on the other hand though ... i can tell that none of them are like. doing philosophy with the same rigor that i am?? they seem to think philosophy is just about reading all the analytic philosophers and then coming up with a novel idea (though still always somehow based on wittgenstein) by just Thinking Really Hard. and they asked me what i do in ethics and i was like. "well, i love it because it's about arguing with as much force and precision as possible, both with yourself and others, in a collaborative effort to seek the truth." they looked at me like i had grown a second head and then i found out that none of them really actually know how to object to arguments or how to consider objections to their own. It's Terminology All The Way Down
