Might is right tells you nothing about what you should do, it just states that whatever is is the same thing as what should be. It's not a moral philosophy, it's a rejection of moral philosophy, and completely useless at that. What guidance does it offer? Literally do whatever you want and if it's right enough or mighty enough it will succeed? Thanks a lot dude, super insightful.

Can anyone clear up on this Kant comparison and the gnosiology/epistemology distinction? Or did I just stumble on some niche term that was discarded a long time ago in favor of something more coherent?
Also would appreciate any Russian anons explaining the non-colloquial use of the Russian terms. I kind of get that reason is a function of the mind but it's still not very clear to me what would "mind" even be then.

Besides that, the book is pretty good. Interestingly enough, Khomiakov draws a theory of consciousness similar to Heidegger's decades before him. If any of you are familiar with Jakob Böhme you'd know what I mean.

It really hurts my feelings when people try and pick fights about politics.

He constantly does things that exceed what his peers can do. He's arguably much more naturally talented than Hermione, who studies to the point of absurdity. In fact, it's Harry's success despite him taking school as a joke that further proves this. And really, shouldn't it be the other way around? He KNOWS Voldemort is out to get him, does he try to improve his wizarding skills commensurate to that threat? No, he takes school at the exact same pace as his peers, it's fucking weird and extremely passive and suggests he will succeed not because of hard work or personal effort, but simply because that's how his world works. This. Is. Passivity.
