Date: June 4th, 2026 5:03 PM Author: Total Chaos Communist (🧐) it's just Words that amount to Intellectual Masturbation imo. It made sense in ancient Greece or whatever when nobody knew how anything worked, but I legitimately do not understand what the point is in modern society.

Date: June 4th, 2026 5:12 PM Author: The Penis No one knows how anything works now either. Most of our “models” are Garbo or at least Garbo-adjacent and a big reason for it is not understanding that every modern paradigm sits on a philosophy it forgot (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5871112&forum_id=2).#49915763) |

Date: June 4th, 2026 5:27 PM Author: The Penis IDK man, all I know is that if scientists totally understood the implications of epistemology and methods and had fully engineered it away you wouldn't have these garbo-adjacent models accumulating epicyclic patches for years. Like take cosmology for instance, you've got the hubble tension at 7.1 sigma now (which literally contaminates huge amounts of data on distance/time), the structure growth tension, the JWST galaxy problem, lithium problem, axis of evil, magic "dark" substances and many other things, like if epistemology and all philosophical concerns were engineered away then how does that even happen? And that's just one of many trash models that are currently totally broken and still being framed as "under stress". You don't have to have a list of Super Important post-wwII philosophers to see that philosophy is still important. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5871112&forum_id=2).#49915791) |

Date: June 5th, 2026 7:31 AM Author: Total Chaos Communist (🧐) Yeah if we Understood Everything we would Understand Everything. The presence of unknowns and flawed theories doesn't indicate any particular value for "philosophy*. On the other hand the complete lack of notable contribution to society by those involved in "philosophy" over the past 100 years is a strong indicator that it's become meaningless. "No true philosopher" just ain't gonna cut it, there are more highly educated people than any point in history by far and not one of them has had a meaningful impact in modern society.

Date: June 5th, 2026 8:37 AM Author: The Penis Ahh..okay I see how you are thinking about this. My point wasn't really that science has unknowns, therefore philosophy matters. It's more that when a domain hits foundational instability, these questions become philosophical questions regardless of whether the people who answer them have philosophy department appointments. You seem to be treating "philosophy" as credentialed academic philosophers producing famous Philosophy books. But most of the time philosophy's contribution involves questions and grammar getting absorbed into other fields. Much of 20th century philosophy was philosophy of language and logic and that stuff got absorbed into semantics, computational linguistics and parts of AI for instance. In epistemology and philosophy of science positivist and structuralist tendencies got absorbed into physics. I agree with you though that a lot of the most important stuff isn't getting done by philosophers themselves. But you can't really "get rid of philosophy" when deep problems in theoretical physics for instance are epistemic and ontological. Someone has to teach these people their philosophical intuitions. And I don't think it's as simple as just "high iq people automatically are philosophical and ask the right questions" with philosophy not existing, because it's a long tradition with generations working on it. Some of it has to be inherited and learned. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5871112&forum_id=2).#49916595) |

Date: June 5th, 2026 8:20 AM Author: Bow tie niggas always have very strong opinions It's not about the job itself, it's the mindset of the type of people attracted to it. You dismiss Liberal Arts because you can't discern the utility. Well, you've dedicated your life to maximizing the utility of screens. Are you happy? Fulfilled? Do you feel you've meaningfully contributed to the world? Are you optimisitic about the path you're on and looking forward to the future?
No. You're depressed, brown, and extremely online. So maybe you're not in the best position to haughtily dismiss anything as stupid and useless.

Date: June 5th, 2026 8:34 AM Author: Total Chaos Communist (🧐) To the extent it concerns what I do for work I'm pretty happy and fulfilled. Like 0.1% of all people "meaningfully contribute to the world", but to the extent I'm at least doing something fulfills a need without making the world worse or just rent seeking then sure. As long as the hole I'm digging is for someone who actually needs a hole dug, and not some make-work bullshit or actively making the world worse like "prediction markets" and whatnot, I'll take that.
You on the other hand have never divulged a single thing about yourself and only shittalk. You do not even attempt the core question of "what is the real point of Philosophy as it exists in modern society". You are a 40 year old posting this shit on the internet like some teenage boner police faggot |

Date: June 5th, 2026 8:38 AM Author: Bow tie niggas always have very strong opinions "It's not about the job..."
"Actually as far as my job..."
I'm talking about your life nigger. And the reason I'm spinning about this is that I expressed the exact same you did practically verbatim when I was 16 and cringe seeing a 40 year old man saying it.
Perhaps you should spend some time thinking about the big questions, even though they'll never be "solved" and we'll never "understand everything", as an exercise to think about how *you'd* like to spend the second half of your finite existence. |

Date: June 5th, 2026 7:09 AM Author: Total Chaos Communist (🧐) The guys a fucking retard but that entire "article" was obviously just some BPD republican making shit up
On the whole though I'd say slightly worse, not because of any of the "allegations" but because any man who has had that many girlfriends past like 25 has something wrong with him |
|
Date: June 5th, 2026 8:20 AM Author: Charles Tyrwhitt Dad Would say the most damning part is that the NYT published it. Doesn't help the Ladies of the View hate Platner's guts. Knives are sharpening. Because there's even more that will come out.
I don't doubt that everything in the article is true. It fits the phenotype and everything else about Platner. He's a hard man, self-centered, and, ultimately, not a good person. I've thought about the contrast with Paxton, another terrible man, but the difference is clear. While both are egoistical, Paxton doesn't wish physical harm on others or boast about taking pleasure in violence. And didn't knowingly get a Nazi tattoo and think it was cool. Do I think he's a genuine Nazi? No... not to that extent, but it tells me he has an innate attraction to an ugly side of humanity and we see it revealed in glimpses here and there, and this interview with the ex girlfriends show it. In a different context, a more unrestrained, more passionate world, I wouldn't doubt that Platner would be among the first to pick up the guns and wipe out families like mine for being too successful, too bourgeoise, people in the way of the new world he wants to build and blood is the price to be paid for it. |
