    You're point about profitability isn't quite on the nose from what I can tell, although its important and feels right at times. "Companies know that their product will be bought .... even if they suck" This is short sighted thinking. That's not to say it doesn't happen, cause holy shit it does, but in the long term, this is sometimes (often?) not what builds profit or wealth. These products and firms loose money, relative to what they could have made from a quality product. IDK if I can put links in KZread comments these days? but there are companies that show this over the long term. This isn't to defend the efficient market hypothesis - the above lesson might repeat over and over again, and human psychology may or may not figure it out. But it cannot be argued that a low quality product always or even often generates greater profits in the long term, so it stands on shaky ground to say that markets in and of themselves will cause this inexorably.

    I do think the pessimistic view is a bit onesided, that contact with other people doesn't just constrain but also enable us, even enable us to understand ourselves better. But what you call the "Marxist" view is I think even less complete, with the revolution taking on an almost religious role of total salvation which resolves all contradictions. I'm a socialist, but even under socialism, people would not just magically all think as one mind. We aren't trying to build a cult here, folks.

    wow seeing young lithuanians who dont swallow the chode of western-imposed propaganda is a rare sight. I personally had middle school classmates who were die hard forest brothers worshiping patriots, that tucked in their tails once they grew up and got f***ed by this government's policies in this sh**hole of a country. And then you have fresh batch of high schoolers every year parroting the same thing my classmates did, thus the cycle never ends

    I'm genuinely confused by the push back on Sam insistence that well-being is the inherent aim of morality. You mentioned Kant and his appeal to the "moral law" but what value does any of that have if it doesn't eventually lead to well-being? What else could we be talking about? A point harris makes and that I think many academic philosophers seem to avoid taking seriously is that from the vantage point of non-philosophers, the field has largely lost the plot. Philosophers love to dunk on Harris but don't acknowledge that they're doing so because he's so popular....and he's so popular because they are terrible at making moral philosophy accessible.

    I agree with the other comments saying it's not wholly one thing or the other - yes we do lose some freedom when others are looking at us and we (have to?) care about what they think of us, yes this is can be made worse when we feel alienated from each other in the ways capitalism affects our lives. But we will never be free of this dread of what other people think unless people get cool with a lot of stuff. Ask anyone of any marginalized identity. Ask a Black man how he feels about racism causing people to perceive him as frightening and threatening. Ask a woman how she feels about our patriarchal culture expecting her to be quiet and submissive and ignorant, and the retaliation she encounters when she's not. Ask a disabled person who resists using a cane or other mobility device in our ableist culture, for fear of being perceived as "broken" or "inferior". Ask an autistic person who is VIVIDLY familiar with "shit other people are watching, try to behave like an allistic person" and still fails and is ostracized for being indescribably "weird". Ask all the left-handed people throughout Western history being punished for not being right-handed, having to pretend to be right-handed, or else they'd be accused of being evil. Bigotries like these were here before capitalism got here, and they won't go away if capitalism goes away. People who are scared will always look for a concrete thing to be scared of. People who crave power always need a scapegoat.

    Once while I was in college, my studio professor grilled us with the question "Does a margarita taste better next to a live palm tree? Does a margarita taste better next to a fake palm tree, too? Or does the cheap imitation of the palm tree annoy you?" Another class was probably trying to teach us Deleuze and dozens of other philosophers at this time, but I was perpetually frustrated with that class. So I wish I could have understood the precedent behind my impulse to vigorously argue in favor of the "fake" palm tree as much as the "real" one. The fake one can light up! Be different colors! If you're enjoying it, then hell yeah a margarita can seem to taste better next to a manmade palm tree. The palm tree was my drum machine, and I didn't even realize it at the time. College is truly wasted on sleep-deprived stressed-out teenagers and twentysomethings.

    Neuromania is dumb It leads to peopole saying dumb things like gender being a biological and neurological phenomena instead of the observed Neolithic social construct It is, and I agree that Sam Harris does not understand philosophy or the is ought gap but please stop trying to make the idea of qualia reasonable none the less its not a real think marry the color theorist knows everything about Red in the proposition stop being so post modern you ignore critical thinking ❤❤❤❤And also why the Kant simping?! The fucker was a mad virgin who wanted death for all gays and unlawfully born children, he thought prisoners should be killed, his idealism and his unfalsifiable propositions about the phenomenal noumenal are very dumb and platonist bullshit...

    You said when peering through a key hole you experience yourself as a subject contemplating objects. This is pretty far away from Sartre's philosophy. The 'I' does not experience itself, it is actively engaged in the world. It may seem to be nitpicking, but this is fundamental when considering Sartre within his own writings.

    Perhaps though at this stage in academia the opposite might be the case, one should be tired of the application of models of instability and decentered-ness to thing which actually structurally are rooted. For instance, consider how we understand the word 'snare' at all. How is it that noise bursts at certain frequencies and certain durations are apprehended as rhythm, as gestures?

    None of this is original to Sartre. It’s all stated in Hegel’s master-slave dialectic. Maybe Sartre is able to sociologize it a bit more, but everything philosophical about it had already been said.

    Simpsons downfall wasn't due to a lack of social commentary it was due to the original writers leaving. The new writers mimicked the original material and the show became a parody of itself. South Park doesn't have this issues as 2 writers have been at it for 20 years. Also, why is the the nuclear family bullshit? Why is an ideal for a family harmful? How should we portray a family on TV? Make the family distasteful and revolting? We seek the fantastical in art and entertainment, not a mirror reminding us of how horrible life is. I'm not sure the portrayal of a disfunction family is any better for us, perhaps we should just quit portraying families altogether?
