What, exactly, does strangecoin, as it is written up, have to do with philosophy?

Here, I will attempt some constructive criticism for you: go take a basic composition class. Your prose is terrible, it comes off like the writing of an undergrad who has learned all these really awesome technical terms and throws them all around in the hope that it'll make him sound smart. If people don't understand you, it's not because people in this thread haven't paid enough attention to it (plenty have). It's because even if your ideas are good, your prose is gibberish and incomprehensible on its own.

RealityApologist posted:The question "why should anyone give a poo poo" can be used to cripple just about any project of passion a person can have. A pack of a dozen people yelling "who gives a poo poo" after everything you say is the perfect way to pummel a person's passions into submission. I'm not complaining about it, except that it's a distracting noise in the thread. It's like sand I have to slog through to say anything important in the thread, and it requires a lot of confidence in myself and my abilities to push forward in the face of this pummeling. All I'm asking for is discursive charity; if people are confused in the thread let me remind everyone again that I'm responding to about a half dozen genuine interlocutors and another dozen assholes simultaneously, and any such conversation is bound to get confusing. Forgive me for pointing out, but didn't you frame your presentation of strangecoin as a proposal? "Why should my audience, who likely are not immediately familiar with my sources, give a poo poo?," is the first question you need to have a ready answer for. In fact, that's the entire point of writing a proposal. And if you can't, the failure is on you.

What were the grounds upon which you were comparing yourself to Karl Marx those pages ago then?

RealityApologist posted:FWIW It's an allusion to Haraway: And based on the quote you provide there, the term makes no loving sense in the context you placed it.

I strongly suspect that he can't get out of his own head for long enough to realize that other people might not find it as titillating as he apparently does.

horse mans posted:Enlighten someone who's not in academia. What happens if someone performs the same research as you before you finish your doctorate? Like if you're studying the properties of some kind of protein Foo or whatever and someone else manages to publish their work before you defend yours. From my experience, you'll probably still be able to pass your defense and get your PhD, but you might not be able to publish from your diss, which is going to make it much harder to get a decent job.
