Thomas Jefferson authored a bill to castrate rapists and homosexuals

@Tonight at 11 - DOOM I knew that already. I was going to ask you why you were citing the F-scale unironically.
imagine citing the F scale unironically
Marcuse was a fucking lunatic
"Repressive tolerance" is a famous essay he wrote
fascism is an exhumed corpse that i just think needs to be put back in the grave
the jist of it is: if they are right wing, you can do whatever you want to them, it;s fine
it's not intolerant
@Tonight at 11 - DOOM Concerning German intellectuals of the 20's-30's era, the only German intellectual of that era that I have any respect for is Bertolt Brecht, hence my use of his picture as my account thumbnail.
why no love for Wittgenstein?
Austrian
but close nuff
Not German. Simple.
Also, I've not read Wittgenstein.
fair nuff
it's the only worthwhile language guy I've encountered
Linguists tend to be fairly crazy people.
He was worse then that. A logician^^
Wittgenstein's work is like getting a peak behind the matrix
he was getting at a lot of fundamental things we don't normally see
Noam Chomsky, Robin Lakoff, Dale Spender... Linguistics is insane...
It;s not linguistics
it;s philosophy of language
I was following up on something I said earlier.
noam chomsky gets so much praise for his pre grammar ideas, but wittgenstein beat him to the punch and had a more profound insight
Hmmm... I'll put him on my 'To Read' list.
well, he changes his mind on key stuff
but you should look up the Beetle in the Box thought experiment
that he had
it's a good window into what hes interested in
Here's something I'm reading right now.
Analysis of Norse myth. Specifically, the parallels between the Hrolf Kraki legends and Beowulf. Very well researched. Worth a read.
I'm fully immersed in local geopol and political history shit rn
in terms of reading
looking at lots of maps
