Woke Two was a disputed topic in political science, political theory and political philosophy. [1][2][3] There is little agreement on the exact nature of Woke Two. Scholars in anthropology, history and philosophy have tried to reconstruct their best approximation of the concept on the basis of limited existing evidence.[2][3][4]

i kind of like the earnestness of the thought process behind "our age of bronze is collapsing." like "hmm, saying the bronze age collapse is happening is too direct. I know just what to do!"

disinterestedness 1 was craaaaaazy

i'm interested in sketching out some ways of reconciling an aesthetic metaphysics where beauty (or aesthetic value, whatever) is purely about one's subjective response to a piece of art with the claim that there is objectively good or bad taste. this isn't treading any new ground but none of you read the literature anyway and i like talking

some deranged examples first. here are a bunch of cases where I think it should be uncontroversial that someone is "wrong" about the beauty of an object, without needing to appeal to some objective standard of beauty

your hiking partner agrees with you about how beautiful a flower is without turning around to look at it

your american friend compliments the plot of a book in a language they can't read

you have a really good time watching a movie while getting high with your crush

your daughter really likes it when you play your 33s on your 45 rpm turntable

these are not hard to come up with and I think it's a pretty fun exercise to help figure out the boundaries around like. what counts as an opinion about a piece of art (or an object of beauty—I'm playing fast and loose with the types of things being appreciated here)

so a far from exhaustive picture of the idea here is that we want people to be giving their attention to an undistorted experience of the object, and we're interested specifically in their experience of the object and not of their experience in general

now obviously "undistorted" and "of the object" are not neutral terms, and those last bullet points are interesting because we can easily imagine (because they in fact exist) communities developing around the the appreciation of objects under specific influences (like hallucinagens) or specific transformations (like speeding up songs)

—but I think those communities only support the point I'm trying to make. it would be ridiculous to present a "nightcore" version of a song that was in fact unaltered, or say that you really like watching a certain movie while stoned if you've never actually done that. the nature of an artistic or aesthetic experience might change depending on the circumstance, and they might be sometimes ambiguous or arguable, but I don't think that undermines the idea that they're at least somewhat objective. after all, the same is true of even more banal scientific claims about the world

It sounds like you believe in the acquaintance principle (which I think people should believe in some form of). But in these cases it doesn't seem like they're getting the judgment wrong. Your partner doesn't speak falsely by saying the flower is beautiful, but they do one of a few things.

They actually fail to make an aesthetic judgment at all. It's not that they have made a false aesthetic judgment. They just haven't done aesthetic judging. Gorodeisky and Marcus, for example, think that an aesthetic judgment constitutively involves taking pleasure in the object of judgment. Aesthetic hedonists often have some clause about how it's grounded in a "complete and correct" understanding of the object (e.g. I don't think that Macbeth is a utopian love story, etc.) But G&M don't have a hedonist picture; they have the Auburn View so they just think pleasure is rationally commanded by aesthetic goodness.

Alternatively you can think well yes they are making an aesthetic judgment and even getting them right (at least in the testimony case—the whole literature is focused on testimony because it's the most interesting case of this) but they're missing the point. Aesthetic practices are coordinated around getting objects right, sure, but the motivational structure is "inverted" such that we only care about getting it right for the sake of the higher and lower order processes of engagement—perceiving, interpreting, assembling details, etc—that getting it right facilitates. This is Nguyen's view. And because he's into games, there's an explicit metaphor with games here. We don't care about putting balls in baskets. What we care about is this rich activity that emerges from putting artificial constraints on making the ball in the hoop. So too with aesthetic judgment.

i am too beautiful and interesting to use a dating app. also probably too beautiful and interesting to date anyone. tough world out here for the beautiful and interesting

okay we call all sorts of things "communities" but "community" as it appears in communitarian views tends to mean something really strong!

#like I don't think “queer community” or “xyz fandom community” are actually communities in the sense communitarians are interested in

i think i just formed the biggest reading group in the department by casually mentioning that i was interested in reading a new book with other people. maybe i am popular...

ugh I should have said that you can be an aesthetic realist and believe in response-dependence if the appropriateness of the response comes from a fittingness relation

You stumble across the identity card of a German drag king. The name? Udo Narrativ.

there's something very off about celebrity obsession

I think woke 1 was pretty cool actually : ex AOC fiancee

they're going to be calling it the most powerful lit review the department has ever seen

"you are continental because you work on figures who predate the continental-analytic divide"
