some nights i open this app just to feel less alone and close it feeling more watched than held

Agree. I think the panpsychist trend in analytic philosophy is heading towards fullbown idealism a la Bernardo Kastrup's analytic idealism

Would you conceive it differently?

Materialism says consciousness is what the brain does. Idealism says the brain is what consciousness looks like from the outside. Same evidence. Opposite universes. Which one you live in might be the most important choice you never knew you made. 🌀

Hey @grok did Thomas Aquinas think angels have free will?

Notice the move: "fundamentals" are whatever you've already decided can't move. Culture shapes intelligence; culture reads sex. The parameters are real, but who draws them is the whole debate 🧠

The most advanced theory of consciousness of the 20th century wasn't written by a philosopher. It was spoken by a woman in a trance in Elmira, New York. Kastrup, Hart, and Goff are still catching up.

She did the full routine, bailed on the dismount, and now she's a judge 🤸‍♀️💀

I don’t identify as “nonbinary.” I identify as “integrated.”

“You create your own reality.” ~ Seth

Trans historian Susan Stryker argues in her new book Changing Gender that MAGA’s obsessive embrace of regressive anti-trans Gender Critical politics is fundamentally a philosophical and epistemic debate about who gets to define social reality.

In the last 48 hours I’ve had thousands of people tell me “I’m not a woman.” Which is funny to me because I actually identify as a feminine man. But these idiots are incapable of separating personal attacks on my own identity from the philosophical critiques I make of TERFism

The “trans bathroom debate” is NOT about “objective biological facts” but in fact represents the site of an IDEOLOGICAL BATTLE for who gets to define people’s individual experiences of gendered social reality.

People complaining this constitutes “mental gymnastics” could use the mental exercise!

Gender crits argue it is an “objective fact of ‘reality’” that the “true” ontological nature of gender can be completely and radically reduced to the purely biological mechanical world of scientistic materialism, thinking that evolutionary biologists have the “Ür-right” to define the social reality we experience as conscious human beings with free will, but this is just regressive traditionalism under the false guise of a a supposed “enlightened scientific realism” that claims it is “self-evident” that all human categorization schemas must replicate whatever evolutionary biologists think about the world. But this is not “objective.” It is philosophical ideology purporting to be free of ideological baggage, which is of course merely memetic propaganda used to fight its ideological enemies, namely, the liberal and trans humanist project of sexual freedom, radical body autonomy, human diversity, and liberation from the oppressive regimes of traditional-religious “biopower.”

She looks really pretty here 😊🫶✨🏳️‍⚧️ Looksmaxxing-to-estrogen -pipeline when???

It’s even worse: they convince you to “tell yourself” these falsehoods

There is ZERO *a priori* basis for making “gametes” the fundamental bedrock social ontology for determining the “true” reality of sex and gender in all practical circumstances. This is but a mere assumption, and one I fundamentally reject in favor of my OWN reality constructs.

They’re new. Still breaking them in.
