    I don't "identify" as a woman any more than I identify as being 5'5". I'm a woman because i'm female, which is an empirically verifiable reality.

      Exactly! He petitioned the French government to abolish the age of consent. Even though it was 15. He felt children younger than that could decide if they wanted to have sex with adults. He was a sick arrogant man.

      ​@@hairelementsproductsceo I think he was skeptical of the state interfering with and imposing their power onto the realm of sexuality. Foucault's work is in part about the ways in which power shapes norms and divides "the normal" from "the deviant" in order to create a more governable and docile populace. Also don't forget to mention every single prominent French philosophers at the time signed that petition

They were pedofiles trying to avoid going to prison because of their sickness. Simone herself was bisexual and she abused female students whom he transferred to Sartre to be used sexually, with whom they had threesomes. That's why she was expelled from teaching.

    The arts are the place where people express themselves. That’s why it is important that the arts are uncensored.
    Painting and drawing are very direct activities. Music can be made without any technology by singing and clapping.
    Censorship is the only threat to people expressing themselves via the arts.

    43:01 Come on professor. Given the subject matter that you are covering, you and I both know that wasn’t just “an observation.” There is no such thing as a neutral observation. You knew exactly what you were doing when you were bringing up Focault’s sexual activities. You are trying to make the case that Focault is arguing against sexual nature in favor of gender identity as a way to justify his excessive homosexual promiscuity. You insinuate that it is excessive by casually mentioning the “objective” fact that he died of AIDS. Thereby proving Focault’s point that there is no such thing as a neutral observation. There is always a biased assertion being made behind every seemingly passive observation which is what you just did.

    • @LitProf
      @LitProf  Рік тому +3

      Et tu quo que.
      It was actually an aside, but of course the connection is obvious and quite possibly significant.
      By your own logic, Foucault’s whole exercise in an ‘archaeology’ of institutional scholarship was not a neutral exercise but rather had the characteristics of what we call ‘motivated reasoning.’

    • @zeenuf00

      Foucault was precisely trying to justify degeneracy. And yes, there is no such thing as a 'neutral' law. FAAFO.
