HMD: NYT's Latte Logic of Social Collapse

savage

I watched part of that podcast/discussion/video/whatever-it-is...

Boy.

Those are just about the most irritating three people you'll find anywhere.

Here are three harmful things about Continental philosophy:

[1] Much of it is utter bullshit.

[2] It's highly politicized bullshit--it isn't just easy to cram into a political discussion--that's basically what it's designed for.

[3] It is the easiest thing in the world to mouth bits of it...which...however mangled...aren't really all that much worse than the original, presumably non-mangled versions.

The quote Mac Donald extracts from the discussion are almost some combination of hilarious and appalling.

What abject dumbassery.

It doesn't help that these are rich, shit-head nepo babies (as we now, apparently, say).
