That's some public library or school library, you can tell from the signs and bookcase arrangements. It's not his personal library. That's hilarious, nobody actually records themselves at a public or school library to give the impression that they read a lot. The only people with permission to do it are librarians or scholars/academics/professors at said schools. What a freaking pseud.

Kantbot is smart, and I have been watching his development for some time now. He is currently gunning for the spot of being the new Moldbug (aka most interesting internet intellectual), and for the sake of achieving this end he has distanced himself from much of his earlier influences, including /lit/ (although that fat fuck lurks here definitely).

He has two big problems which are preventing him from becoming someone you should take too seriously: in the first place he is a complete asshole in his personal life, and makes a point of publicly burning bridges with everyone he is associated with. This is good in that it prevents him from being over-influenced by greater minds, but terrible for his development, because he associates exclusively with his intellectual inferiors (like Logo Daedalus lol).

Secondly, Kantbot can't really write a polished essay. For example, his most recent work from this year: https://medium.com/@EdwardWaverley/rebuilding-the-university-49362f01269a

The ideas are good, but notice that the essay itself is confused, without proper ordering and structure.

Still, I won't talk too bad about KB, because I learned about the absolute centrality of Library Science to the history of thought from reading his Twitter. Kantbot's contribution.

I think like anyone he wants to “do something” about the state of our world. In 2016 that for him took the form of “fighting the meme war” via esoteric shitposting but gradually most people realized the trump revolution was just a stunt and nothing was gonna happen. He realized activism and electoralism is useless and that when playing the dissident on social media you’re merely funneling more power to the state through a more byzantine way. It became necessary to understand how this complex system of information control works and how it came to be if we ever hope of stepping out of it. That’s what his present project is, he’s not so much an intellectual or philosopher, but a historian. As for him being rude on Twitter, does it even matter? I think all he cares about is making good work.

This essay doesn't even argue anything except perhaps that we should try to emulate the 19th Century German university system and practice more historicism to understand the contexts in which key thinkers operated. The issue with this is that "thought-space" is expanding over time, such that one can devote all of one's time to the history of ideas without ever really producing new and interesting knowledge. At some point one must kick away the ladder.

To give an example, do we study so-called "old quantum theory" in physics as a lead-up to quantum mechanics? No, not really. Do we start with the study of Regge trajectories in gluon scattering as a prerequisite for string theory? No. Things are different in the humanities, but it's questionable the extent to which "knowledge" has ever been produced in the humanities.

twitter is a human useless box
once you get on twitter, you lack retaining sanity
if you desire retaining sanity, get off twitter

Whatever his faults kb is doing us a service by researching all this bizarre modern history that no-one else is paying attention to and the pseudcast is worth the time. kb's constant public scorn for anyone who claims anything without understanding the full historical and literary depth of it is good too because it plays the stick to the carrot of understanding in his personal battle to force people to read.

>> No.18313302

Agree with both points. As someone who subscribed to his Patreon, I can tell you his lack of structure extends to the podcasts. He never asserts a thesis. Instead he continuously piles references and findings, typically along a loose linear narrative. This made the episodes exhaustive, exhausting, yet somehow incomplete. His JFK ep, for example, spent hours discussing tangential associations and connections - without setting them into the context needed to advance earlier claims. Everything about KB is flabby. I unsubscribed.

(Another reason for abandoning his pod was KB's voice and style. Couldn't take the intermittent gay baby talk whenever he talked to or about his toy poodle. He also intersperses each episode with overacted surprise. "Wait. WAIT. Oh my God. I mean.... It's just crazy! How is this even REAL? Hahahahaha." Talks like a Marvel funko pop fanboy.)

Have to agree with >>18313737, as someone who used to be really quite fat before losing weight, you realise being fat is revelatory of how someone values their self and their body. It's a sign of laziness and poor living and I was indelibly more selfish, greedy, and inconsiderate as a fat person. Such shaping of your experience defines your personal philosophy and viewpoints across topics and issues. So yeah IMO it does actually matter, though I get just telling 'FAT' isn't that helpful.

There's no better metaphor for BAP and KB than the characters of Siegfried and Mime in Wagner's Ring Cycle. Through his research and databases, KB is creating the brittle swords that BAP will continue to destroy - until BAP finally uses the skill he learned from KB to forge a perfect sword of his own.

Also Mime is a fat ugly hateful bitter POS, just like KB, who never made a friend that he wouldnt eventually betray lol
