  1. Tier 2? Musk does not fit any definition I care about for Tier 2. He has spent the last half a decade attacking Green, completely misunderstanding it.
  2. Nothing about my thoughts on Musk have changed.
  3. Health is the foundation for just about any kind of success in life.
  4. Epistemology pretty clearly should come first in terms of order of operations. But this seems like too strong of a distinction. You can have metaphysical insight and understanding.
  5. Surprisingly good take overall. My biggest critique is that he seems to think "natural" enlightenment experiences are superior. They are not.
  6. That’s the core of it. You so smart
  7. Yup. It isn't defined well in these conversations because it actually can't be well-defined. The definitions are necessarily functional and not philosophically rigorous. Gender roles are perfect for showcasing this ambiguity. Can gender roles be authentic? That's a whole can of worms.
  8. A ton. Much of my book answers the question "what do romantic relationships look like after you've deconstructed gender roles?" Or in other words, post-SD Green relationships. This naturally brings up many questions around authenticity.
  9. Yes! It's a useful distinction when one is learning to individuate themselves from the collective conformity of lower stages of development. But ultimately, authenticity as a concept also needs to be deconstructed.
  10. Certainly useful for developing basic STEM competence. But, I found the best part of university to be all the additional autonomy. That autonomy allowed me to start taking philosophy seriously for the first time.
  11. Sure, but I wouldn't call that the core defining characteristic. All of that is more of a downstream consequence of multi-perspectivalism.
