i took a philosophy class my first year at community college, and it was the funnest shit ever - prof gave us a powerpoint and told us to fight with him when we disagreed so we could have discussions, then gave us his steam username so we could play racing games together. one time, he told us this story about a prof he had in grad school - guy was tenured, and apparently a great teacher. but he had this time built into his schedule where other profs would be in labs, experimenting, doing research, where he stood in his empty classroom with a warm cup of tea and stared out the window. for these 1.5 hour schedule blocks. and the administration would come to him and be like “dude, we’re not paying you to stare out the window, why aren’t you working?” and he’d say, “i am working. i’m a philosopher, it’s my job to contemplate the world and life and that’s what I’m doing,” and they couldn’t do shit cause he was tenured. and then every handful of years he’d pop out a book that blew everybody’s tits off and they’d get a surge of new philosophy grads come to study with him and make the school a lot of money.
So yeah, i think that’s still what being a philosopher is like
Yo, shit’s fucked on this bitch of a rock. Direct deposit please.
some dude on survivor outed another survivor who happened to be trans and called it “deception” like this was some damn soap opera and everyone was like ”lmao that’s personal and not your fucking problem?” and the host immediately said “We don’t need to vote, just grab your torch” and had him kicked off. that’s some instant fucking karma.
Video links are broken, but I wanted to clarify:
- the outer wasn’t even particularly anti-trans, he was just desperate to stay on the show
- everyone was less “lmfao that’s personal” and more “wtf that’s personal”
- When he did it, everyone’s head whipped around– not at Zeke, the transman, but at the asshole
- While poor Zeke is stunned into silence, all of the people who just found out are restraining themselves from dragging this fucker under the water
- Guy has the realization ON CAMERA of exactly how low he’d sunk while everyone is ripping him a new one
- The host lets it go on for about a minute and then is just like, yeah, we’ve got consensus, grab your torch and get the fuck out
afterbonus:
- CBS was prepared to scrap the episode rather than out Zeke, but Zeke and GLAAD said “No, show it. Let people see that shit.”
- The asshole’s day job also told him to grab his torch and go home
- He never tried to play himself as the victim, and publicly apologized for what he himself described as “assault.”
