i think a lot of the time people just don't understand philosophy so they feel hostile towards it
people act the same about most technical subject matter when it comes up in conversation
also i guess like Sam Harris with compatibilism they tend to just dismiss things that sound weird to them without considering whether they've misunderstood
there's a reason 'otaku' is a much stronger insult in its native language than 'nerd' and 'geek' are over here
Indeed.
Of course, it goes both ways: By marginalising a group for its interests, society encourages insularity and exclusivity in that group. Japanese society treats people with "immature" hobbies (however potentially otherwise well-adjusted) as freakish and pathetic; people with those hobbies respond by flaunting their immaturity in increasingly garish ways. It is a vicious cycle perpetuated by both sides.

those who are like 'woah, this is really clever' and those who are like 'so what you boring pedant'
i noticed this about literary theory as well
i start classes again tomorrow so i suspect February will pass a lot quicker for me than i would like

used to drive me mad
i only do it when i'm talking fast, though
I kind of have the same accent as the kid in this video.
This concept is alien to antinatalists.
they want it more than they can tell
i'm USELESS
no cares and no fears
i'm USELESS
no hopes and no dreams
i'm USELESS
i'm USELESS cause i'm RUTHLESS
