Slog - Comments on Good Doom http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/10/good_doom Hannah Arendt was wrong about many things but right about this: philosophers should not be leaders. The life of dialectics is the continuous movement towards opposites. Mankind will also finally meet its doom. When the theologians talk about doomsday, they are pessimistic and terrify people. We [the philosophers] say the end of mankind is something which will produce something more advanced than mankind. Mankind is still in its infancy. Mao Zedong is the philosopher who composed this cosmic passage....

Hannah Arendt wrong about something? What? Charles, I generally scroll through the SLOG and when I see one of your posts I simply save my self the agony and just roll my eyes without actually reading it.

But what in the world made you decide to reference HA in such a jack ass way. Where did she say "philosophers should not be leaders?" Did she write that? Where?

And the further insinuation (and it was insinuation) was that she was "wrong about many things." Again, WTF?

Post all the drivel you want but for God's sake please don't reference Hannah Arendt and if you do, please, please, bury it far down enough in your post so that I don't have to expend energy telling you to "stop it!" and "WTF?"

"Oh," to quote Dan Savage in New York, stop it please!
