AN UNINTELLIGIBLE AMOUNT OF HYPOCRISY

anyone else think this guy needs to look into the tensions that run at the forefront of modern philosophy before commenting on the work of those that do know these tensions intimately

>"thinking of approaching Heidegger" with "Basic Writings"
This has come out to be the legitimate way to approach him if you've read the thread. He erred a bit with Being and Time, and his later perspectives are more informed.

>You're worse than a person who pretends to read classics and then bashes others for their taste.
This is bit of a fallacious analog considering the fact that I know own the latest edition of Basic Writings and will read it. This means I'm in fact better than people that 'pretend to read classics' and not worse.


>The reason philosophy always turns back to the major metaphysical and epistemological questions is because they always exist by virtue of their being a world experienced by conscious beings at all.
If you had read my spiel properly, this wouldn't be such a nice stance. Because to what extent does it preclude philosophy also being a conscious response to concepts and phenomena in the world? In fact, it just points out that language is often what mediates and elucidates these concepts. I don't Heidegger to both understand and to deconstruct this position for precision.

All in all, terrible argument. Where did you get your degree? I'm not sure a first would come with this level of fallacy coming over.

Where's the material backing up your conception of intelligence? There are whole books about the overwhelming role of training in the creation of genius/ development of certain sorts of intellect (cf., Matthew Syed's Bounce).

Not like they've got anything better to do than search for shit in all the wrong plaeces and then find the right place after all...

Well, for my part, I just feel I have rights over people with bigoted, hate-filled opinions who vacated /new/ and the old /b/ when moot first cracked down. Those rights I guess I hold for historical reasons like the enslavement of tens of millions. Otherwise, hell, it might have developed into a group of pleasant, rational people ready to look beyond their own noses and anti-liberal prejudices at race debates and see the efficacy of these arguments. And hell as poster here said, >>2049568, you've made yourself a little bit of a hypocrite at this point.
