Anna Quits HEC 2 | Hegelian Egirl Council | Know Your Meme

There's an underlying contradiction between “mere” culture and the standpoint of absolute knowing in a way that Hegel already articulated pretty well in the Phenomenology of Spirit. I'd add that to reach absolute knowing you have to risk the "loneliness of decision" (in the sense of a separation from the abstract self-alienation of spirit in culture, and the discovery of the concretely irreducible alienation of spirit in its absolute, i.e. divine, limit), so the danger of having a culture which encourages that (a genuine Enlightenment culture in the Kantian sense) is that without sufficient systems of sublimation, the loneliness of decision selects for self-destructive criminality more than it does for intelligence (Hegel already discussed this apropos the passage from the Enlightenment to the French Revolution as "Absolute Freedom and Terror”). I think this has actually happened in much of the West, and to a certain extent I blame Marxism, though paradoxically I think Marxism also contains the seed for the solution. Marx's philosophy is the transformation of freethinking intelligence into criminality, and its premises can be used to endlessly justify the latter clothed in the appearance of the former, though at the same time it's Marx who I think confronts us with the immanent metaphysics of our current form of sociality, which do have to be confronted, in turn, with competing metaphysical possibilities. He was just wrong to assume that the issue could be resolved on the level of culture (in the broad sense, inclusive of class struggle)... nothing can truly be resolved on the level of culture, it is a race to the bottom (i.e., one-sided, sacrificial violence—in the abstractions generated by its secular self-alienation, culture reduces itself to nature, and becomes truly evil through ignorance of its own irreducible evil, a profanation of humanity's divine task). We must make culture more intelligent, not let intelligence get mired in the repetition compulsions of symptom-defending cultural warfare. I am still committed to building philosophical connections with culture outside of academia, but I now think that what is required is principally a spirit of rigorously self-activated pedagogy. This also demands that I hold myself to higher intellectual standards than those I have been holding myself to thus far. "The state of nature is not unjust; for that reason one must leave it." — G. W. F. Hegel.

mc.intellego @Mintellego According to Grok: The Hegelian Egirl Council (HEC) appears to be a group that emerged within online communities, particularly on platforms like x (formerly Twitter), blending elements of philosophical discourse with internet culture, specifically around the persons of "egirls" - a term often used to describe young women who engage in online content creation, particularly in gaming or social media, often with a flirty or playful demeanor. Here's a synthesis of what's known based on posts and discussions: -**Formation and Ideology: The HEC was ostensibly formed around the idea of engaging with Hegelian dialectics, a philosophical method where ideas evolve through contradiction and synthesis, but with a twist of modern internet culture. The members, self-described as "Hegelian egirls," aimed to discuss or perhaps satirize philosophical concepts, politics, and social issues through this lens. -**Public Perception and Drama: The project quickly became a subject of drama and critique: -"Internal Conflicts: Several members of the council, like @RealShinyDummy and @sanjehorah, publicly left the group, expressing concerns over the project's direction. They criticized it for not genuinely engaging in political mediation but instead platforming extreme views under the guise of intellectual discourse, which they felt lent unwarranted legitimacy to those views. -"*Public Critique™: The project was seen by some, like @bimbotheory. as descending into petty squabbles rather than maintaining philosophical integrity, with members engaging in what was described as "mean girling" through complex, opaque arguments, claiming to have the truest interpretation of Hegel. -"*Aesthetic and Philosophical Critique: There was also critique regarding the aesthetics and the philosophical approach of the council. @credenzaclear2 described the group's communication style as histrionic and ineffective, suggesting a disconnect between their philosophical claims and their actual engagement. -"Humor and Satire": Some observers, like @leyawn, humorously compared the council's dynamics to game mechanics, suggesting that their approach to managing internal relations was as if they were characters in a strategy game, focusing on intrigue over substance. -**Philosophical and Cultural Impact: While intended as a blend of high philosophy with internet culture, the Hegelian Egirl Council's drama highlights a broader cultural phenomenon where online personas engage with complex ideas, often leading to a mix of genuine discourse. satire, and personal drama. This event underscores the challenges of merging deep philosophical discussion with the often superficial or performative aspects of internet culture. The Hegelian Egirl Council, therefore, can be seen as an attempt to bring philosophical discourse into the realm of internet fame and social media interaction, but it encountered the typical pitfalls of online communities: internal strife, public scrutiny, and the difficulty of maintaining intellectual rigor amidst the performative nature of social media. 3:08 PM-Aug 18, 2024-1,344 Views
