š§µAside from death/public health, & the great wealth transfer, a major cost of the #plandemic may be a breaking of the social contract, resulting from the distortions to morality it has caused, in tandem with an institutionalisation of #WokeAgenda & #postmodernism

Politicians on both sides, captured by lobbyists from #bigpharma & #bigtech have divided society by attacking science whilst turning a blind eye to reason. Thereās a feeling of dread that we no longer have anywhere left to turn. @WAPFLondon 
Truth is #misinformation. #neoplatonists use lies to āprotectā the state. #censorship is flipped from antithetical to #freespeech, to necessary to preserve it. #covid19

1/11 This @CTW_ATC discussion outlines my book on how the Western intelligentsia of the global theory industry has helped consolidate the "compatible" Left (i.e. compatible w capitalism & imperialism). š§µ

2/ I explain the work of #Derrida w "anti-totalitarian" dissidents funded by the NED (a CIA cutout), while rehabilitating an unrepentant Nazi (Heidegger), collaborating w a Nazi collaborator (De Man) & foreclosing any analysis of "context."

3/ I've provided detailed scholarly accounts of #Derrida's idealist misreadings of philosophic history in these two books, which demonstrate that even his 'internal analyses' leave much to be desired:

1/ #Catholicism is not an identity. There is no "#Catholic identity."
Catholicism is the proclamation of an encompassing message of transformation suited to all times & places.
Identity is a #postmodern preoccupation.

Identity is a #postmodern preoccupation.
2/ As #Catholicism is suited to all times & places that's fine. But the assertion of #Catholic identity rarely (if ever) intends to embrace #postmodernism (or even modernity).
3/ Identity comes from the Latin "idem" for "same," which a casual historical exploration would tell us #Catholicism never is. It has had countless historical and cultural expressions.
At the most obvious level, today the #CatholicChurch is 23 rites.

Alongside the #ExeterTehranConvos Iām been thinking about the nature of philosophy and research in #Iran within the context of the reception of #European philosophy - thread on #philosophy in #Iran 1/
And the ways in which continental philosophy dominated in an earlier period due to the influence of the #Heideggerians and the circle of #AhmadFardid (1909-1994) many of whom became prominent in the committee for the cultural revolution after 1979 2/
But since then - and it seems perhaps a bit of a surprise that #Soroush was a major figure in the support of #analytic_philosophy then - #Anglophone philosophy is gaining an upper hand 3/
The American āsocial justiceā cancel cult operates outside the law with trial-by-media.
But itās not even a trial, because only one side is āallowedā to argue their case! If you do anyhow, you are āsupporting XYZ alleged crime,ā which obviously begs the question.

2/ Begging the question, for those who donāt know, is a logical fallacy in which an argument assumes its own conclusion (circular reasoning).
But postmodernism actually denies that reason is real!! Itās āa tool of the oppressor,ā āeverything is subjective,ā etc. #CrazyTown

3/ Putting this all together...
We now have a Western cult that is obsessed with āidentityā (race/gender), operates outside of the law, is authoritarian allowing no other viewpoints, and flat out denies reason/reality as being real.
Yeah, this is totally normal. š¬

Let's take a look at how even the subject of modern dance has been infected with #CriticalRaceTheory from this #StruggleSession at Indiana University. Part 1...
Modern Dance is white supremacy according to #IndianaUniversity dance professor. Part 2:
This next part makes me particularly sad. While the arts are often left leaning, they've been one of the remaining areas of classical learning. You know, with an actually talented teacher who you work with as an apprentice. Imagine being a dance student under this:

Hereās what I learned about architecture school and practice in my latest podcast with Zach (@cantradionalist): (0/6)
1. @wrathofgnon has likely turned more people in favour of traditional architecture with twitter than anything else today.
Except for, perhaps, the ugly buildings themselves.
FOLLOW HIM.

FOLLOW HIM.
2. The culture wars have reached architecture schools too. āCriticalā architecture, just like Critical _________ Studies, seeks to subvert and revolutionize, not improve and support. (see @ConceptualJames for more)
On #CriticalTheory
On this day some eat turkey, I read dry scholarship on #liberalism and #postmodernism. Oh, yeah. And I eat turkey, too.

Iāve seen a number of debates ā some quite heated! ā going back and forth about the validity, soundness, and compatibility of #Islam with #criticaltheory scholarship. Some advocate that itās entirely incompatible with so-called traditional Islamic thought.
I for one do not subscribe to this on a metaphysical level (as some advocate) though I do find several problems with its claims when taken too far or its scoped expanded too wide. In fact, I think a thing ā or a philosophy ā is not so much incompatible with Islam
#Postmodernism and the Muslim Today
In discussing the topic of postmodernism today with a colleague we arrived at a conclusion that the main opposition to #polygyny in today's postmodern world - including from Muslims - is rooted in the notion that (a) polygyny is a right
In discussing the topic of postmodernism today with a colleague we arrived at a conclusion that the main opposition to #polygyny in today's postmodern world - including from Muslims - is rooted in the notion that (a) polygyny is a right
that men exclusively enjoy and (b) that men may enjoy that right unabashedly (that is, having legitimate sexual relationships with another woman).
The reason we touched on polygyny, a marital practice very few Muslims enjoin, is because of its "controversial" status in the minds
The reason we touched on polygyny, a marital practice very few Muslims enjoin, is because of its "controversial" status in the minds
of those who claim #Islam to be a misogynistic religion. A claim now held by many Muslims who've been infected with postmodern sensibilities and methods of interpretation.
Our challenge to this was thus: postmodernism would tell us in general, and women in particular,

"#Modernism can be characterized as the forceful imposition of rational administrative procedures into all facets of everyday life. Its subjects ā you and I as individuated identities ā crave both protection and authority.
You and I search for some measure of refuge in a totalized, secularized myth, a grand meta-narrative that accounts for everything, and this tendency towards #totalitarianism is worldwide.
The concern of the United States over its loss of market share in the service industries, and its concern over the quality of work by its subjects, are only symptoms of a much more pervasive and deeply rooted historical condition.
