As I stare at this whitewashed wall, I realise how similar it is to many of my peers. Its blank gaze only gains life when reflecting light projected upon it. It is mute, deaf, has no opinions of its own. It will just tacitly agree with you, whatever you say. It will stand there, loyal, keeping you out of wind and rain, no matter how much you punch it, kick it, scream it down.

Zizek is correct, to an extent.
The unconscious is the phenomenological 'other'; it is god. It guides us. We cannot communicate with it, because it does not use language.
Objectification of being and the ascension of the conscious being will be made when one can experience an essential reality through the unconscious without mediation.
Lacan is the future of psychology.

I'm sorry to say this, but I've ascended Lacanian psychology; I am beyond the future past. The unconscious is the denouement of man's total works of philosophy, and with it, the death of the natural sciences. Humanity has progressed beyond progression; post-humanist philosophies are a thing of the past, and with it, the meaningless rigor of empiricism. I do not live with doubt, nor faith. There is no me. Meaning itself is an elision; the reconciliation of presence with the absurdity of itself. I am beyond god.

"philosophy is dead" can be attributed to Stephen Hawking, and is really only true regarding questions of the nature of matter, whereas philosophy is still quite useful for reflecting on the nature of human experience.

"philosophy is bullshit" can be attributed to quite possibly the most facile doctoral thesis ever written. Link: http://www.phy.duke.edu/~rgb/Beowulf/axioms/axioms/node4.html

"philosophy is useless" can be attributed to students who took a PHI 101 course with a bad professor.

Well, I was standing at my lectern this morning (that's where I do most of my reading) poring over Beyond Good and Evil (ironically, of course) and sipping Assam tea (I'll never drink a tea from west of Istanbul) when a gorgeous Paradisaea apoda flew by my window (did I mention that ornithology is a casual hobby of mine?) and I was reminded of this joke I once heard during my days at Cambridge. It went like this: "This is the sort of English up with which I will not put." I chuckled heartily to myself and took another sip of tea.

Why is it unacceptable to state the simple and well-known fact that women are not as smart as men. No matter what the field, a woman only rises to the top if the board members of the company want to seem progressive. A woman will always be of inferior intelligence and ability when compared to her male peers. She is merely respected due to the tendency of non-educated classes to be impressed by a woman doing ANYTHING that requires even the slightest bit of intellectual rigor, and even that, we are not allowed to state out loud.

Even when born with all the opportunities needed for a life of intellectual fulfillment, the same opportunities that would propel a man to the top easily, a woman is still most likely to become a hairdresser or a medical/dental assistant, jobs that anybody could be trained to do and require no more intelligence than that of a chimp (no offense to chimps)

And that's if she even decides to take a job. More often than not, she'll simply spend all of her time on her appearance, which in her mind is an investment, in the hopes that some rich man will decide she's good enough to be a trophy wife and support her. This is both the holy grail for woman and the easiest and most common life path. They simply become expensive long-term prostitutes, as sex is the only thing they have to offer.

So I ask, why, despite all this being practiced in broad daylight, shamelessly I might add, can we not just say it: Women are inferior to men in every respect.

>> No.4751317

>>4751306
>in every respect

>giving birth
>having tits without being fat

Even if we assume you're right about women's intelligence (which I'm not, but I am willing to accept for the time being to make my point) it's insane to suggest that nothing exists that women can do more easily than men.

>> No.4751342

Sex includes anything that naturally results from it. If men were able to forward the species without the use of women, women would become obsolete and die off within a few generations at most. Whereas even if women were to find a way to impregnate themselves without men, men would still dominate society as women are simply incapable of performing the same jobs at the same level as men. In fact, society likely wouldn't change at all.

Your posts fill me with euphoria, for I have had the instinctual impression, without perusing the Lacanian body of work, that this is so.

Although I do have one primary point of departure from what you say, and that is in claiming that one cannot communicate with the phenomenological 'other,' for I have learned to do so through the geometry of the human mind.

My rational facilities are not up to par with this side of me, however, and I see that they are in yours. Besides Lacan, what should I read to achieve this end? Do not fail me godling.
