I have to write a paper on a "modern" philosophical worldview.
We already covered Darwinism, Linguistics, Identity Politics, Freudian theory, Marxism and Encryption throughout the course of the class
What topic should I write about?
Anti-natalism and the church of Euthanasia
Realism, and how the security dilemma applies to individuals as well as states in terms of social relationships.
How about communism?
>>27960709
write about hipsters
>>27960709
Modernism and the crisis of Modernity, as a result of that isolation and instrumentalization, the questions we ask ourselves through culture and literature begin to change: instead of asking questions about what we do or how we live, we begin to ask questions about who we are and if Meaning exists. And are right relationships possible? Does anything, including us, have intrinsic value?
>>27960709
write about the big dick church of minnesota
>>27960746
I just said we went over Marxism in class.
>>27960812
I'll have to check to see if we went over that one
Feminism
Lkgdhk
>>27960709
cryptoanarchy
anti-natalism
neopaganism
mgtow
>>27961391
Are these all modern?
Well i mean Mgtow is new but it's not really a huge important part of the modern worldview. Same with Neopaganism
What's cryptoanarchy?
>>27961391
oh also otaku culture and hikikomori
Commercialism
We talking about the western philosophical view?
>>27961438
yes, all of those are fairly modern within the past 50 or 60 years
cryptoanarchy is libertarians using the internet to do edgy things like sell drugs and weapons
>mgtow is not a huge important part of the modern worldview
a huge amount of men in developed countries subscribe to some aspects of the movement (not having children, dropping out of society, etc.)
chai lattes are fucking amazing though
>>27961474
I'd go with western philosophical view, yeah.
>>27961519
>cryptoanarchy is libertarians using the internet to do edgy things like sell drugs and weapons
Also very illegal types of porn.
I'll keep that one in mind but might change it to be about the darkside of news reporting and how reporters are using tor and shit to get leads.

Gonna assume you're supposed to talk about "modern" as in early 20th century modernism, if your professor wanted you to talk about today's worldview he would have said "current"
the "modern" worldview was basically a rejection of Enlightenment rationalism, especially after WWI when people realized exactly where the "reason" of capitalism, democracy, and technological advancement was leading them. Try to include Freudian psychology, artistic stuff like dadaism and futurism, and communism/fascism in your paper

The vapidness of philosophy. We live in an age of unbridled information, and to study the ideas of others simply because they are academically accredited is nonsense. Philosophy died with poetry, only the sentimental cling to it.
>>27963887
The class is about the modern worldview
Is has to be about something that shaped the way we view things today like these guys >>27963369
>>27963920
That's the thing, the only way those guys influenced your thinking is because their work was shoved down your throat. Philosophy is a personal agenda, philosophers are those who need validation into themselves. In turn, modern philosophy should be known as the pursuit of not a greater truth, but a personal truth. Study others for curiosity, not answers.
>>27964059
I'll get an F if I write that. Guidelines for paper specifically state that I have to write about an Idea that was not discussed in class that shaped the world today. Not a discussion of whether or not this is right or wrong.
This is a 3000 level class not a 5000 level 10 hour nihilism lecture
>>27963887
>we live in an age of unbridled information
Which makes it even more important to only study people who had to go through some sort of filtration process, rather than any idiot spouting garbage online.
Even before the internet, most U.S. literature and academia has been a joke since the 50s and 60s when the underclass started scrambling its way to the top. Most of this country is made up of the bottomfeeders of Europe.
The recent increase in use of emotional appeals over factual evidence and the modern obsession with political correctness.

Can I have some Authors names? We've covered Black Identity and Female Identity in class but do you know of any authors that cover trans identity or something?
I guess I'm doing Antinatilism guys
Thanks for your help

Just because men do a few things that MGTOW do doesn't mean that MGTOW is influential. Men were doing those things before MGTOW. The only way you can say MGTOW is influential is if at least some of it's ideological assumptions are accepted by society, which they are not. That's the same as the feminists who claim if you're nice to women you're a feminist. It's not true. Acts are separate from ideology.

Slavoj Zizek is popular with the educated modern left right now. He's a modern marxist who borrows some ideas/concepts from psychology.
