Reply to comment by fghqwepoi in How to have better arguments by fchung

I think the comment is a sarcastic take on modern politics.

More sadly realistic than sarcastic really.

I didn’t intend it that way (to be about politics), but it does fit the bill as problematic, and honestly saddens me greatly. I was also thinking about business culture in general and the way that we are treating each other in the age of social media.

There is no sarcasm at all, I legit feel this way and can provide references for the Aristotle and Socrates attributions. The reference to authenticity is a passing reference to Heidegger, and the reference to the demise of the subject is a reference to folks like Roland Barthes, Michel Foucault, and Jean Luc Nancy.

I was explaining the comment you replied to and not just giving a random commentary on your comment lol. It would be really weird phrasing if I was talking like that about your comment instead of the one before you, don't you think?
