Stupidity
Stupidity | Avital Ronell
1 post | 1 to read
"Avital Ronell's work studies the fading empire of cognition, modulating stupidity into idiocy, puerility, and the figure of the ridiculous philosopher instituted by Kant. Investigating ignorance, dumbfoundedness, and the limits of reason, Stupidity probes the pervasive practice of theory-bashing and related forms of paranoid aggression. A section on prolonged and debilitating illness pushes the text to an edge of a corporeal hermeneutics, "at the limits of what the body knows and tells.""--BOOK JACKET.

Dear Canadians,
I'm sorry our U.S. representatives are complete a$$hats. We don't all agree with them. I can't even imagine how bad the smoke is for y'all. But your response to this nonsense is freaking epic.
Love, lil1inblue

Bookwormjillk This is funny. Sorry about your fires though Canada. 1mo
KadaGul So Canada 🇨🇦 is facing its Commercial Exhaust fans towards the USA 🇺🇸 so it doesn't have to deal with WILDFIRE 😤🤬😡😠😤🤬. It's natural wildfire 🔥🚒 when Californian wildfires harm bordering Canadian 🇨🇦 cities, no one raises a concern 🤨.#AnotherDumbIdeaByMango (edited) 1mo
lil1inblue @Bookwormjillk My favorite part: "These are attention-seekers who can't come up with a good idea on health care or on making life more affordable," Kinew told The Canadian Press. "So they're playing games with something that's very serious." 1mo

lil1inblue @KadaGul 🎯🎯🎯 In a different article I read, it was pointed out that smoke goes both ways across the border. This administration is so exhausting. 1mo
LiseWorks Hey Canada has been blamed for a lot of things over the years. Even snow is blamed on Canada. Do they actually want us to kind of have a glass wall or something to king the smoke on our side? 😆 🤣 1mo
Eggbeater It's ironic, republicans being concerned about the environment. I am sorry, Canada. 1mo
lil1inblue @TheBookHippie My "rep" can't show up in his district unless it's a fundraiser, but he can harass Canada? To refer back to my three lis thursday honorable mention: "Fuck wank bugger shitting arse head in hole." 1mo
lil1inblue @LiseWorks What was that thing the #fluorescentfascist wanted to do to stop the hurricanes? Maybe that will work on the smoke. 🤣🤣🤣 (Also, thanks for the snow. I enjoy it. 😉) 1mo
lil1inblue @Eggbeater How do the people who support them not see the inconsistency? I will never understand. 🤔 1mo
TheBookHippie @lil1inblue honest to god these people 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 1mo
willaful I love Vonnegut's description of the Totalitarian mind as like gears with missing teeth: “The missing teeth, of course, are simple, obvious truths, truths available and comprehensible even to ten-year-olds, in most cases.

The willful filing off of gear teeth, the willful doing without certain obvious pieces of information... That is the closest I can come to explaining the legions, the nations of lunatics I‘ve seen in my time.“
