Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-Thread

In response to Leo' pop quiz:

This lady's criticism of post modernism brings up legit critiques, but she fails to mention what post modernism gets right / limits of modernism. There is bias against postmodernism legit aim to deconstruct notions of objective truth that science and rationalism are attached to.

She constantly points to the ideological undertones of post modernism (which are evident), but does not mention ideologies that demonize post modernism such as materialism, and rationalism.

Hannah Spier's video is definitely a critique from below.

Reason: Who the hell uses Tiktok/Instagram-like subtitles in a supposedly "Intellectual" Youtube Essay? Obviously trying to pander to low-attention spans.

Just finished watching that video! It’s an orange worldview on the spiral denouncing a green worldview. She basically says that qualitative and subjective methodologies in therapy make no sense because they can’t be quantified and data-driven!

If you can't see the practicality that is your lack of vision.

What do you mean by vision ? 

Purpose ?

No, not purpose.

VISION!

Contemplate: What is a visionary?

I watched the lady’s critique of psychology. To be honest from my point of view, while she makes so interesting points. To me, anyone who simply does not have at the heart of their world view spirituality,Tao and love will always be chasing their tail. Because how could they be doing anything else? Any other belief system would have you to believe you are a victim (not true) or there is something wrong with you / doubting your value (also untrue).

You have many things delivered, though. What’s different about groceries?

listening to the Carl Newport on AI podcast puts things into perspective. "They are glorified autofill promters". I hadn't thought of it that way. It was cool to listen to his take on the recent happening in which Claude allegedly blackmailed an employee to stop itself from being shut down. His take on how Claude problably just wanted to bring a resolution to a narrative it had been fed, based on similar narratives it had learned from all of it's web data scraping helped me see that particular blackmail event from a totally different lense.
