Reply to comment by Jsiajwbanakaksbsbsvc in McPherson Square is a disgrace by [deleted]

Rejecting your intentionally dishonest premise that I made any sort of statement on whether there was telos in history or not, but rather a statement about linguistic use of a used word.

Linguistic use of a word that implies direction. Progressive is inherently teleological.

You’re still on this. I made it very clear that rejecting a word that is CONSISTENTLY USED IN AND OUTSIDE OF ACADEMIA, with NO REAL ACADEMIC DEBATE OVER ITS USE (academic debate over the use of progressive is what you answered to and went on about telos because you only know how to reply in bad faith) is simply trolling. If you want to have a conversation about policy but refuse to use the lexicon as it is defined because of personal reasons, that’s fine, but you made a decision not to have any conversations with anyone other than those who already agree with your point about USE of the word (that all of academia disagrees with you on). If that’s your prerequisite go troll someone else, but to start claiming you’re “truly curious” while essentially deviating the entire conversation so others have to use your personal vocabulary is weird as fuck.
