I consider the divide between Continental and Analytical philosophy through my ontological lens after watching an IAI debate. I had already considered this as a use case, so the serendipity was convenient. What I used to call petulance, I now call ontological divide – and petulance. Thoughts?

Hot take:

Spengler mistook fatigue for fate: a culture's winter for cosmic law.

He froze history into doom aesthetics and called it destiny, forgetting #dialectic, invention, and the obscene fact that decay is also compost.

Civilizations don't die; they mutate.
Growth hides in rot. 💩

Is the conceptualization of cultural appropriation an anti-mixingpot thesis?
Is it possible to be both cosmopolitan and anti-imperialist?

One of my new superpowers in "debating" (I prefer a dialectic really) is just saying "I don't care." Or "Why is that important?"
"No matter what society you imagine, people will always try to take advantage of it." => I don't care.
"But I might miss something on my timeline." => Why is that important?
Give it a try!

A quotation from Edna St. Vincent Millay

With him for a sire and her for a dam,
What should I be but just what I am?

Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950) American poet
Poem (1920-11), “The Singing-Woman from the Wood’s Edge,” Vanity Fair, Vol. 14, No. 3

As a Gnostic-German Idealist, I don't see MAGA as a movement.

I see metaphysical atrophy.

A spiritual cramp. A refusal to evolve.

The soul curling inward like a dying star,
trying to become gravity instead of light.

MAGA didn't lose their way.
They lost their capacity to become.

In manchen Dingen erscheint Österreich (mal wieder) als Petrischale zu den Auswirkungen national-völkischer Politik als Modell der Interessen von Kapitalhaltern und Boulevard-Medienmonopolisten zu deren protegierten antidemokratischen Rechtsruck.
Der Gegenwind einer linken Aufklärung findet aufgeweckt konturierte Beiträge zur Debatte. Ein Hinweis von mir zur Wiener Szene – für Leseinteressierte:

@johncarlosbaez Your blog makes a reference to philosophy, but what has the combinatorics of ‘counting categories’ to do with those that constitute the foundation of their concept if those are reasons, relations, properties, dispositions and forms. I’m thinking of Plato’s principle and realms in relation to Aristotle’s modal oppositions….. #Philosophy #Knowledge #Dialectic #Forms #Categories

The truly adult #spiritualjourney is precisely this: a journey from #dualism to #dialectic. From Either/Or to Both/And. Until people can make such a journey they are incapable of #compassion. Neither celebration nor relief of the pain of others will truly occupy their centers. https://dailymeditationswithmatthewfox.org/2025/06/04/overcoming-dualism/

@impactology Why not a door with reason and purpose? No matter how great the sense of fear, shame and guilt are, they are just being. The dialectic transcends that, and even it is nothing if not constituted by the foundation of its concept. Partial intelligibility is comprehensive.

The whole world is watching America – We're seeing in real time how the US is degenerating into a failed state and fascism is taking over. 
But this ist not the end of history!

In einer idealen Sprechsituation sind alle Beteiligten gleichberechtigt und argumentieren rational. Ein respektvoller Dialog oder Multilog fördert die Konsensfindung und führt zu einem fairen Interessenausgleich – ein essenzielles Element politischer Kommunikation.

Standhaftigkeit ist, wenn es weh tut!
"Die Grundlage von Demokratie ist ein Selbstverständnis, und zwar: Ich bin hier nicht Besucher. Ich bin nicht Opfer meiner Gesellschaft, nicht Konsument, sondern ich bin Gestalter meiner Gesellschaft, und ich bin verantwortlich für mich und andere."

"we are all in agreement that universities, at this point, are where intellectual passion goes to die, buried under mountains of pointless grant applications imposed on us humanists by the insane and suicidal cargo-cult of STEM worship, which in the end is just a poorly disguised worship of money and power"

The diagnosis is perfect, but the article is not about that.
