00:00 - 00:03 | The Rationalists have been storming the city |
00:04 - 00:05 | They have been giving talks in several locations |
00:05 - 00:07 | here, and here. |
00:08 - 00:12 | Promoting their wretched Enlightenment and scientistic agenda |
00:12 - 00:15 | At the moment, they are running a "summer school" here |
00:17 - 00:19 | Well, no matter |
00:19 - 00:21 | Steiner assured me he's organizing a counter-event |
00:24 - 00:26 | My Fuhrer... |
00:27 - 00:28 | Steiner... |
00:31 - 00:33 | Steiner's conference has been cancelled |
00:34 - 00:36 | Harman, Gabriel and Deepak Chopra turned him down |
00:53 - 00:58 | I want only the artists: Keitel, Jodl, Krebs, and Burgdorf. |
01:13 - 01:15 | That's unacceptable! |
01:15 - 01:17 | That's fucking unacceptable! |
01:18 - 01:23 | I clearly told Steiner we needed metaphysical extravaganza! |
01:25 - 01:28 | Now Rationalism will become a thing! |
01:29 - 01:31 | People will ask for conceptual clarity! |
01:31 - 01:34 | Those logic-mongers are more rigorous than the SS! |
01:34 - 01:37 | And to think they call me a Nazi |
01:37 - 01:40 | while these people go around defending Enlightenment and Universalism |
01:40 - 01:42 | My Führer, Universalism isn't necessarily totalitarian |
01:42 - 01:46 | My ass it isn't! They are a bunch of colonialists, fascist technophiles |
01:46 - 01:48 | My Führer, that's very uncharitable reading. |
01:48 - 01:52 | They will have people read Sellars and Brandom! |
01:53 - 01:54 | I don't understand them! |
01:56 - 01:58 | I have spent 6 months reading nothing but ONE chapter of Laruelle |
01:58 - 02:03 | wading through fucking incomprehensible jargon and outrageously cryptic french neologisms |
02:04 - 02:08 | so I had to learn French to appreciate him |
02:08 - 02:13 | now people will ask me to explain what it all means |
02:14 - 02:16 | and I have no fucking clue whatsoever! |
02:17 - 02:21 | there isn't even some amusing Zizekian bit in it, like a praise of Stalin! |
02:27 - 02:29 | I never wanted to be an academic |
02:30 - 02:34 | I'm totally self-taught, I know which theorists are important |
02:34 - 02:36 | those teaching at the European Graduate School! |
02:41 - 02:42 | Filthy inferentialists |
02:43 - 02:47 | They will bang on with their Science and Reason and ignore the value of emotions |
02:48 - 02:53 | Heidegger is the only philosophy needed by the German people |
02:54 - 02:56 | Now they'll bore us with numbers |
02:56 - 02:59 | They'll demand we learn to handle bloody numbers |
03:00 - 03:02 | they'll hold us epistemically accountable until we spit blood |
03:04 - 03:07 | Don't worry, I'll teach you category theory |
03:14 - 03:16 | Our postmodern times are truly over |
03:19 - 03:23 | Our only hope is to retrench in the art world |
03:25 - 03:26 | It sucks |
03:31 - 03:33 | Our war to Reason, it is lost |
03:40 - 03:46 | But gentleman, if you think I'm gonna start reading Brandom you are seriously mistaken |
03:46 - 03:49 | I'd rather blow my fucking brains out |
03:53 - 03:56 | You, you better start with Sellars |
