  • a digital cyber e-virus strikes agora road and only one brave shitposter can stop total cyber domination
  • a banana gets bitten by a spider and becomes spider banana, however due to unfortunate genetics coupled with less-than-ideal parenting the banana is predisposed to unethical behavior and becomes kinda evil and terrorizes local villagez

I am currently working on a short story for the ezine, though due to my non-existent work ethic and high standards I am unsure if I will finish it before 2 or if I will submit it for 3.

Thinking of writing a movie review of an old 1960s movie (will not reveal since i think that would be fun to leave it a surprise). Would that be something that would fit the feel of the zine or should I avoid submitting a movie review for an old movie of this nature. I know you used an album review as an example of a possible submission, but I don't know if my idea fits the feel for the zine like an album review would. Maybe I'm just dumb but ya.

Hi @IlluminatiPirate this is probably a stupid question but are there just no rules with this? Like, word counts? Amount of submissions from a user? Preferred format for submissions (.txt file, pdf, whatever)?

    Lol, I don't actually have a joke prepared; I'm not good at humor. I'm just referencing how Baudelaire referred to the orgasm as "the little death" because... he was French, and therefore mentally handicapped or something.

    Logic as a discipline has developed A LOT since aristotle developed the syllogism. basibally, logic used to be "if it follows these rules, then its true" but since Boole, but more importantly Frege and Russell, logic has become more or less a mathematical topic. In math, you gotts sit doen with yoyr statement and proove that its true using theorems and reasoning by reference to rules. Hegels logic on the other hand has a more mystical bent (not exactly mystical, but vauge enough to where the term fits). Logic for hegel is much more about a vague sense of the flow of reason in the develoent of historical time. It sounds really cool and nice and deep, but the more you dig into it, and try to put it in toyr own words, the less sense it makes).

    So you're more analytic

    This is a really good point and well-put. I just think it's missing that a lot of philosophy is concerned with truth being self-evident enough to prove it with simple thought, though I wouldn't call Aristotle or Hegel simple thinkers. It's an intuitive exercise as much as it is an analytical one.

    I think I got some of what you meant though

  • SophiaHaven:
    I suppose the core issue is that it creates a problem of unfalsifiability given the nebulous nature of the system. But it's worth pointing out that while logical rigor is important in mathematics or in, I don't know, nuclear physics, human beings forge the enormous, overwhelming majority of their beliefs either from appeal to authority ("experts say" or "this person I trust argued that", etc) or simply from induction based on personal experience and Bayesian updating of prior beliefs. There is the question of what is logically rigorous and then there is the question of what is useful to Man in understanding the world around him, and the two may not always have the same answers. That's not an endorsement of Hegel from me, simply an observation that I feel is often missed in these discussions.

    i think primitive is more accurate than simple
