Thank you for this article. I am currently writing the last paper of my undergrad. Going through my notes of the past three years, I definitely understand what you mean by « lightheaded undergrad egoism ». My notes are so full of arrogant commentary about solipsism. Strange era of my life. Definitely egoist in its nature.
You write very well. There is an attitude to your writing, a cadence, that feels almost jazz-like
I have never read, Hegel. So, I don't want to make the mistake that I understand implicitly what his philosophy is. That being said, it seems like if I were to read him now. I might have a better understanding, or a better reference point for what he could be alluding to. Thanks for making this, I read this yesterday, but didn't end up commenting.
Great essay, bro. It’s all crystal clear, except for a single sentence, the first one of the seventh paragraph (dude, I counted, there’s, like, a thousand paragraphs). I can’t tell if you were depressed for “no reason,” or if you read H a second time for “no reason.” It’s easy to see why you’re called the Wizard of Ipswich.
Dear Peter, thank you for reading, I apologise for the confusion, I definitely meant depressed for 'no reason,' *not* read H for a second time for 'no reason'
I've never been knocked over by an eyelash before. Bravo.

No problema. That’s what I thought, but I haven’t read H even once, so I thought I might be missing something.
You are great
Beautiful.
