What exactly is Quality anyway?

>> No.16701929

Quality is a physical property regarding the structure and/or function of an object in relation to some standard or quantitative measure.
This is often abstracted towards intangibles in which case it is an attempt to proxy this meaning by reliance on connotation.

Quality is deliberately undefined "what I like" so it's impossible to discuss. He was pretty clear that the things black people like are quality and if you don't innately understand what he means you're square, but it is totes real and serious.

Essentially it's a cowardly escape from producing an idea. A smokescreen to hide behind so you never have to confront the fact that you're stupid as hell, terrible at reasoning, and can keep pretending your unexamined feelings are objective reality.

Quality is an absolute measure. Our ability to think has a quality. It’s what we’re aware of. If you stay uneducated, your awareness of quality is limited. If you are educated your appreciation of quality is refined. But it’s always a quality of universal pulses rushing through forged cycles that is what maintains our quality of awareness.

Mill has a basic account of quality that you could look into. You can use that to springboard to other discussions, since his is pretty easy to into.

i read this book ten years ago and do not remember it at all. did the dad rape the kid or something? i remember there being some drama at the end

>> No.16704457

Nah, the dad was just a dumbass narcissist with no interest in his kid. The kid dies irl in the epilogue and the dad's all "but don't worry reader I'm having another kid so it's all good"

The dad had undergone dramatic psychotherapy that caused him to develop a split personality of sorts. His original self was an obsessive and his current self was an NPC. The son was having trouble in school and the trip was a way for the two of them to reconnect, which wasn't working. The son secretly not so secretly hates the new dad. By the end of the book the dad has reconciled the two personalities and the son finally feels like he has his dad back.
