“Love can assume a debased form in which all the powers of devotion are bent to serve the ends of a limited ego. That debasement springs from timid self-defense against the shock of the greater, deeper world that can only be entered only by the one who loves.”
-J Pieps
“To perceive all that is unusual and exceptional, all that is wonderful, in the midst of the ordinary things of everyday life, is the beginning of philosophy.”
—Josef Pieper, “The Philosophical Act”

"Capitalism is aggravating the pornographication of society by making everything a commodity and putting it on display. Knowing no other use for sexuality, it profanes eros - into porn."
Byung-Chul Han (2012)
"OnlyFans is still pornography, of course, but it’s different pornography—good pornography that encourages customers to see us as real people. My customers know I’m happily married, and I want them to feel welcome as visitors in my home."

Just finished a COVID episode that will be uploaded tomorrow. We were swimming in some pretty choppy waters for most of it, but hopefully some coherent/non-cancle-worthy thoughts come through! Anyways, here's a link to a related Byung-Chul Han interview:

Dan Harmon here provides the most lucid and succinct summation of the traditional Catholic Natural Law argument concerning homosexual relations. if we're being honest, JP2's "Theology of the Body" is just footnotes to Harmon:
we tried recording on MacIntyre and it was Not Great so our upcoming topics are gonna be a little less heady (work, online prayer requests, the latest encyclical, etc)
True story: Last night I had a dream where I had acquired a rare collection of Heidegger's essays, so I invited @austin_hayden to come see it. So he did, but then I asked him if he wanted to hang out, and he was like, "Nah, I'm just going to take this and leave."
