Boot Boys Biz: Baudrillard Roping Gloves

[philosophybits]

It is the picture of life contrasted with the fact of life, the ideal contrasted with the real, which makes criticism possible. Where there is no criticism there is no progress, for the want of progress is not felt where such want is not made visible by criticism. It is by looking upon this picture and upon that which enables us to point out the defects of the one and the perfections of the other.

Frederick Douglass, "Pictures and Progress (1864-65)"

D.C.: Then art as you define it is a discipline of adaptation to the real as it is. It doesn't propose to change the world, it accepts it as it presents itself. By dint of breaking our habits, it habituates us more effectively. J.C.: I don't think so. There is one term of the problem which you are not taking into account: precisely, the world. The real. You say: the real, the world as it is. But it is not, it becomes! It moves, it changes! It doesn't wait for us to change...It is more mobile than you can imagine. You are getting closer to this reality when you say as it "presents itself"; that means that it is not there, existing as an object. The world, the real is not an object. It is a process.

Bae Seokryu is such a realistic character that I am taken aback every episode. The portrayal of a burnt out character is so well done with her. Especially with ep12(spoiler) when others tell her how she perhaps only liked the praise and not the actual studying. That was such a hard pill to swallow

12 Life Lessons to Remember:

When you're winning, stay quiet.

Don't share your plans. Let your results do the talking.

Don't expect to get what you give. Not everyone has a kind heart.

Every day is a new chance to be better than yesterday.

You won't get what you want until you're thankful for what you have.

Sometimes, you need to let go of what you're holding onto.

If you want to buy without checking prices, work without checking the clock.

God brings people into your life for a reason and removes them for a better reason.

The devil wouldn't bother you if you weren't valuable. Thieves don't rob empty houses.

You'll upset many people when you start doing what's best for you.

You'll lose friends when you get serious about your goals.

I actually love hearing about reformed people's stories. I love hearing about people who were in toxic communities or people who used to objectively be dickheads talking about how they got out of that. How they made themselves better.

I hate how most people's initial reaction to stories like that are things like:

"How could you have ever done those things?!" "Oh my god, you believed those things?!" "Well it doesn't un-do the harm you did!"

People incessantly advocate for change but then refuse to allow people who have changed the grace of being acknowledged and given opportunities and chances.

I love hearing about ex-antis talking about how they don't spend their days being angry and sending death threats anymore.

I love hearing about ex-homophobes who realized there's no magic law about what is "natural."

I love reformed bullies talking about how they made amends with their victims and spend their days being considerate of others.

You can't scream about wanting people to change but then expect them to spend the rest of their lives stuck in the past and on who they used to be. You can't expect people to spend the entire rest of their lives grovelling and apologizing and demeaning themselves.

Instead of clinging to who they were, latch onto who they are.

Ask how they got out of it. Commend them on changing. Enjoy that there's one less cause of harm in the world.
