“Autism didn’t exist when I was younger”
Hipster Kant.
Got the autism before it became mainstream.
I’m starting to realise why people are calling me a massive Kant.
For a second there I thought this was Reddit.
We don’t do humour on Lemmy? :)
It’s got Reddit flare.
I think the biggest difference between here and Reddit is that here the thread doesn’t devolve into worse and worse puns as soon as anyone makes the slightest bit of wordplay.
That’s what she said.

My imediate first though was how incredibly autistic this behavior is and fits perfectly with the rest of his persona.
Well clearly they had vaccines back then.
/s
Just to point out, the first one was created 8 years before he died.
I Kant believe vaccines killed Kant.
Checkmate atheists!
“it was said neighbors would set their clocks to his daily walks”
And then,
“He considered marriage two times, first to a widow then to a westphalian girl, but both times waited too long”
Bruh mental health in the 1700s must have sucked
“Hey, he is just odd…”
“it was said neighbors would set their clocks to his daily walks”
Reminds me of the Kraftwerk guys. One time David Bowie wanted to talk to them and he was told to “Call the studio at exactly this time”. He said he literally watched the clock and at the exact stroke called their studio. He said he didn’t even hear the phone ring, they had picked up the phone seconds before he called. lol
Wouldn’t he get a busy signal then?
Only if you were on a call already. I had it happen a couple of times to me back then. “Call me back in a minute!” I’d call back and they had already picked the phone up.
How far back in the day are we talking about? Like back when the entire street shared a single line?
I experienced the same thing several times back when landlines were still commonplace.
Mid 90s.
80s-90s
Was it different in other parts of the world or something? When I was growing up, if you could hear a dial tone, incoming calls would receive a busy signal.
Ah yes, the treaty of Westphalia.
This is what I mean when I say Kant (and other enlightenment era thinkers) obsession with some universal moral rules followed by purely rational humans is some dude’s fantasy who never has understood how normal people work.
I was about to defend him but after refreshing my memory and reading about the Categorical Imperative I think you’re absolutely right.
What’s that? I liked the ideas in the first half of “a critique of pure reason”
“Act only according to that maxim whereby you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law.”
It’s basic and kinda neat as a personal moral philosophy.
Kant is not really like other Enlightenment era thinkers though.
Following a moral framework so strictly sounds so rewarding…
I say this as an autist historically riddled with anxiety: Life is meant to be lived. I kind of lived similarly for the first ~15 years of my adult life and I regret it as a waste. Get out there, do something cringe, stupid, or questionably ethical. Make dumb mistakes, because if you don’t your life will be a void and you’ll learn nothing and stagnate. Live a life worthy of telling it as a story. Get hurt and accept you might hurt others by living vibrantly.
I’ve been trying to do so for the past 7 years or so… covid set me back a little socially but I’m recovering again.
How do I overcome myself? I’ve got plans and desired outcomes and it’s running me into the ground.
Just as a side anecdote, but I’ve found that having desired outcomes is a surefire way to get disappointed and let down.
I mean that as in a singular desired outcome for any given action. The more specific the outcome or its prerequisites, the better you’d be not to expect anything and just go do the thing without overthinking it. Note: not abandoning or giving up on the doing of the thing, rather just go and do it and adapt to what universe and chance gives you.
Yup. Take risks, get out of your comfort zone. Most of the time you find out you were anxious about nothing and when problems arise you can handle them.
“covid set me back a little socially but I’m recovering again.” Same. <Fistbump of solidarity>

On second thought, I should not share that.
Instead of deleting, you could have just edited.
Still, commenting on your deleted comment is mildly hilarious. Makes me really wonder what skeleton fell out of your closet.
Asexual most of my life, unexpectedly did some over the top stuff, realized that what I did on Lemmy NSFW is not the best thing to say in this community.
We forgive you, WorldsDumbestMan
Yea, I can see how the guy who published the Categorical Imperative never had to accomodate for anyone around him in his daily life.
Immanuel Can’t
Marriage?
Kant be bothered.

Came here to add this. Glad you beat me to it ❤️
Immanuel Kant was a real pissant.
Who was very rarely stableHeidegger?
He was a boozy beggar who could drink you under the table
What about David Hume?
He could out-consume Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel.
Don’t get me started on Wittgenstein
Beery swine, I recall him being.
What about Socrates?
or a table as such
He was a bit of a Kant
I think ladies want to hit that, but Immanuel told them, “Kant touch this.”
He Kant even.
just like me fr fr
The most hilarious part of Kant’s work to me is in his anthropology.
In a footnote he said that there’s two ways of studying it: in the first degree, by traveling and meeting people, and I’m the second degree by reading books by traveled people.
But Kant never traveled so he can study antropology in the first degree. So he adds a clause saying that if one lives in a busy port city (like Kant) one can study antropology in the first degree as all the people of the world travel to your city.
I find that level of pettiness from one of the greatest philosophers very endearing
“pityness”? Even pithiness I don’t get your meaning.
I think it’s supposed to be “pettiness”
There person that reacted earlier got it right
Life goals.
Koenigsberg, especially during that time, was considered the progressive hub of the western world, the pinnacle of human achievements and innovation. During that time, you really had the best of everything right in the city. So, why leave? His ideas and thoughts formed the way we think today, he singlehandedly changed the structure of thoughts europeans had.
