I think about this also as why men covertly post their appendages while exhibiting random things like books or drinks. An outward conquering. instead of saying "this is me" it's like saying "all of this is mine"

Mostly when women post selfies it’s a “look, share my life with me!” way but men, who are unsocialized barbarians, see any demonstration of selfhood as exposing yourself as prey

“Does God care to paint the sky of an evening, that a few of His children might see it, and get just a hope, just an aspiration, out of its passing green and gold, and purple and red?
And should I think my day’s labor lost, if it work no visible salvation in the earth?”

Something they don’t tell you about becoming a good writer is that you will have to do a lot of work that will ultimately feel wasted (and maybe even BE wasted, depending on how you look at it). So you better be in it for the love of the game

like he's going allllll the way back to fight Plato and Homer on this, and that helps put his failure in a much better light, one that makes you, in loving truth, read generously against what you can only guess his intentions were. Ok everyone back to mandatory Proust reading

genuinely the worst metaphor ever made. And the reason it's so bad is proof of the idea being wrong, which is just so beautiful. But he does have a point; he's just wrong that creative activity would be something other than the only thing that could take back the worker's labor
Karl Marx@marxhaunting
that is, operates as an alien, divine or diabolical activity – so is the worker’s activity not his spontaneous activity. It belongs to another; it is the loss of his self.

socialists that "hate" religion do so just as rightly as those who love God, but never want to agree about it. Because both worship their words over what their words represent. that's why the former have psychoanalysis
Jacobin@jacobin
Despite what conservative pundits say, socialists don’t hate religion. In fact, only democratic socialism can realize the religious promise of a brotherhood of man: jacobin.com/2023/04/social…
