“Autism didn’t exist when I was younger”
I’m starting to realise why people are calling me a massive Kant.
For a second there I thought this was Reddit.
We don’t do humour on Lemmy? :)
It’s got Reddit flare.
I think the biggest difference between here and Reddit is that here the thread doesn’t devolve into worse and worse puns as soon as anyone makes the slightest bit of wordplay.
That’s what she said.
Hipster Kant.
Got the autism before it became mainstream.
“it was said neighbors would set their clocks to his daily walks”
And then,
“He considered marriage two times, first to a widow then to a westphalian girl, but both times waited too long”
“it was said neighbors would set their clocks to his daily walks”
Reminds me of the Kraftwerk guys. One time David Bowie wanted to talk to them and he was told to “Call the studio at exactly this time”. He said he literally watched the clock and at the exact stroke called their studio. He said he didn’t even hear the phone ring, they had picked up the phone seconds before he called. lol
Koenigsberg, especially during that time, was considered the progressive hub of the western world, the pinnacle of human achievements and innovation. During that time, you really had the best of everything right in the city. So, why leave? His ideas and thoughts formed the way we think today, he singlehandedly changed the structure of thoughts europeans had.
Kant wasn’t like that. He was a socialite
Immanuel Can’t
Kant was also about 5ft tall and had an unusually large head. He had an odd posture suggesting he may have had scoliosis or some form of physical malady. Reports are in spite of his pious upbringing he was popular at parties.
malady
But he was a man.
This is what I mean when I say Kant (and other enlightenment era thinkers) obsession with some universal moral rules followed by purely rational humans is some dude’s fantasy who never has understood how normal people work.
Kant is not really like other Enlightenment era thinkers though.
Immanuel Kant was a real pissant.
Who was very rarely stableHeidegger?
He was a boozy beggar who could drink you under the table
or a table as such
What about David Hume?
He could out-consume Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel.
Don’t get me started on Wittgenstein
Beery swine, I recall him being.
What about Socrates?
Following a moral framework so strictly sounds so rewarding…
I say this as an autist historically riddled with anxiety: Life is meant to be lived. I kind of lived similarly for the first ~15 years of my adult life and I regret it as a waste. Get out there, do something cringe, stupid, or questionably ethical. Make dumb mistakes, because if you don’t your life will be a void and you’ll learn nothing and stagnate. Live a life worthy of telling it as a story. Get hurt and accept you might hurt others by living vibrantly.
I’ve been trying to do so for the past 7 years or so… covid set me back a little socially but I’m recovering again.
How do I overcome myself? I’ve got plans and desired outcomes and it’s running me into the ground.
