can you?

"ifff" where the first "f" stands for "if", the second "f" stands for "only if", and the third "f" stands for some secret third thing

anyone interested in a paper outlining the overlaps between proto-daoism and non-dual śaivism? and how the latter is a pathway for those who want to integrate the former with an atelic monism (given that they depart from the former’s tendencies towards skepticism)? untapped possibilities reside here

merleau-ponty single-handedly inspired me to get back into rhythm heaven. pure motoricity baby

agree to disagree, re:the easy gerrymand ^^

it is really good— even the epistemological critique of baruch i’d level (that we could never certainly attain adequatam cognitoem) to this section would only help to make sense of trauma, qua the common case where the etiology of trauma is uncertain due to repression—and is only detected memorywise

a score is kept, though perhaps inadequately…

yes!! notable that he does much better than the outer roads, but the center road still has its issues, some of which i’ve started to take notice of in the intro (reading part 1 of the PoP is up next, for me)

Merleau-Ponty— he took the road less traveled by

cool. my brain is bubbling with such things

would anybody object if i partially used this account to post memes about hume and merleau-ponty as i go through the Treatise and PoP

first discussion seminar that i’ve taught alone is now in the books! i can’t say it went amazing, but it was far from bad and extremely educative for me! i have one more in 2 hours today; hoping for the best 🤞🤞

i’m slammed with work. grad school’s off to a great start so far

it’s great to be here! i’ve only been around for a month, but i’ve been enjoying it.

i’m considering how much of my thoughts i would like to post here, versus posting through the more post-y account i’ve established on bsky over the last few months. either way—i’m glad to able to connect with some of y’all again, after losing so many of those connections to the Great Twitter Exodus.

thank you for this!

come take a class with me this semester, and we can attempt to find out ;)
