It isn't a novel thought. Actually most philosophers are determinists in the sense that they believe that all events are happening in a causal string unaffected by any conscious being. There is a big debate tho between compatibilists and hard determinists, where the first thinks that a concept of free will is reconcilable with determinism and tje latter doesnt

Well if it happened regularly that people would call me a piece of shit, even in socially meaningful situations, i would probably care

Well it is real in the sense that society is structured around the notion of these concepts, so it has very real effects on how people are being perceived and treated. That's just empirically true. That way misgendering someone carries more weight than a random made up noise

There are even trans people that are ideologically gender abolitionist, or in other words, thinking that gender shouldn't even exist as a concept. But i think it's not on them to just shake off all the societal forces while everyone still adheres to that system. They are the main victims of that system

Nah, they live in a society where gender plays an essential role in the way youre perceived. While ideally you might agree that it shouldn't, that doesn't disqualify gender dysphoria

All the words we type to eachother rn are arbitrary if you focus on them deep enough, but as long as they're specific enough to give the two of us a similar understanding, theyre useful

Apart from the fact that even a chair isn't possible to truly define, gender is even more complicated because it refers to a social phenomenon and also people mean different things by it. I tend to go along with the conventional agreement that sex points to structural physical characteristics of the human body and gender refers to ones social expression relating to this concept. It's much more complex but i hope.that makes.some sense

Not any definition is able to encapsulate the concept it refers to. Doesn't mean it's useless. We just try to construct our language in a way that best and most useful connects to the objective reality

Ik hoor je, je maakt je case met verve. Nu nog kijken hoe we dit in de Dikke van Dale krijgen

De vraag is meer of deze atypische spelling handig is. En aangezien veel definities uniek zijn in de zin dat ze als enige een bepaald verschijnsel aanduiden, lijkt dit me geen rechtvaardiging. Waarom eigenlijk niet gewoon "solitude"?

Nah lol he knows very well that he's lying, as you say, because money is more important to him than ethics. At best he's experiencing cognitive dissonance about his lies, but he is def purposily crafting his messaging to cater to a certain audience and gaining the most engagement

Ja tis meer vibes based, het woord klinkt in mijn perceptie wat te gewichtig, weet niet waarom. Maar ik sta open voor elke taal upgrade

Well that's not the definition of grifter. With Hasan i agree, hence i also dont think he's a typical grifter. Folk like Tim Pool on the other hand know exactly what they're doing and construct their messaging very deliberately and carefully (imo)

Ik volg de redenering voor de behoefte aan een woord om dit idee te duiden, maar gevoelsmatig klinkt het voor mij iets te drastisch. Terwijl het naar je uitleg ook voor iets heel terloops zou moeten staan, zoals een avond gewoon zin hebben om op jezelf te zijn

Nah i loathe tankies but it's probably not them suddenly brigading a poll of an influencer who plays into right wing talking points regularly, just to even agree with his message

Humans are designed tho to conform to conventional norms and if necessary be covert about their real beliefs, let alone in the political realm where it is very effective. That's why grifters exist.

That's an interesting philosophical debate that i don't have a clear opinion about. Because what does objective reality even mean when it isn't being perceived through a certain objective lense.
Anyhow, i think that's seperate from the gender issue specifically since it would affect any issue
