Human race has only two genders. The reason is simple, they're the only ones that contribute to the continuation of the species. The man is the one the produces the seed and he carries it to the woman, who cultivates it, and produces the next member of the species. When the child grows he's going to do the same. What role does the other 89 genders have between the symbiotic relationship that happens between a man and a woman? What does it contribute to the human species? Does it produce the seed? That's a man's job; Does it plant it? That's also a man's job; Does it cultivate it? That's a woman's job; Does it delivers the final product? That's also a woman's job. So where do the 178 genders come in play here? Nowhere, because there are no 356 genders. The only purpose of the 712 genders is fetish, is to satisfy the insanity of a man that has lived in comfort for far too long. Therefore you will never be a woman, and will always be a faggot. Just another freak that will kill himself.

ok so he didn't finish it, that's just what Heidegger thought and also, don't really see how metaphysics can ever find an end or be finished. I didn't read Nietzsche that much, but I did read Kant for whom people say he also finished metaphysics, but what he did was just metamorphosise it - if anything is finished, it is a current period of metaphysics, dogmatism in Kant's case. What was finished was an existing metaphysics, what follows is a metamorphosis, and that is not "new metaphysics", but the same one thah as been overcome and changed.

>The analytical movement basically killed that off
Analytics have rejuvenated metaphysics. Frege's project, through Wittgenstein and Godel, all the way to Putnam and Kripke has solved serious serious issues regarding causality and meaning, while continentalcuck trannies talked about muh politics and muh opressive power structures.

Ontology as general metaphysics will always be studied because it is the basis of every other "branch" of philosophy. Ethics, epistemology and aesthetics; all of them have an ontological basis on which they stand or else they wouldn't work at all (regardless of how aware or unaware people are of this fact).

Used to make up lists all of the time in class. Eventually people would just start putting down any name. The list itself is stupid. Requires you to define what makes someone great. I can easily say the characters of Beavis and Butthead are the best Philosophers.

I don't get this shitty discussion about gender. What the fuck is gender? I unironically don't know. I only know that there are two sexes in nature and a variable amount of genders in grammar (Romance languages have two genders, Latin has three, English none (apparently) etc.)

What the fuck is gender, if not merely a grammatical thing, and why is it used in politics? What a shitty world
