The Simpsons, Seinfeld, 30 Rock, and Mary Tyler Moore (The Bob Newhart Show, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and first three seasons of Arrested Development come close).

Reply to Reading classics in their native language? Thoughts and suggestions - Dumas and Hugo by TegisTARDIS
In Search of Lost Time was much more engaging in the original French. Sadly I’ve lost most of my knowledge over the years, but it was one the best original language reads I’ve ever had.

Reply to comment by Turqoise-Planet in Why Is the ‘Night Court’ Revival Such a Massive Hit? by LynnK0919
Wholesome and raunchy can exist simultaneously in a sitcom. Night Court had some raunchy jokes but it was ultimately about everyone being a family and justice being fair and about people which is incredibly wholesome.

It has the same wholesome goofy vibe as the original and it’s a real easy sitcom procedural. I get why it’s popular.

She’s not even a writer or show creator. Just an EP because she has money and fame.

Seinfeld. They had their reunion season on Curb. Both LD and Jerry have been very clear on the no reboot front.

Reply to comment by contractualist in Democracy is Only a Means to an End (Examining the Inherent Political Authority of Democracy) by contractualist
Yeah, I think the second the term “inherent good” comes up the actual understanding of the situation becomes muddled. It moves from understanding the relationship and benefits and detriments of a systems and policies. Inherent values are arbitrary, cultural, and subjective; they obscure the subject you are attempting to understand, especially empirically.

Reply to Democracy is Only a Means to an End (Examining the Inherent Political Authority of Democracy) by contractualist
Everything is always a mean to some end. And in turn those ends are usually means for something else. Democracy can be conceptualized as a value when framed as a form of structuring political authority or simply a tool for enacting a form of popular political authority. Distinguishing between means and ends conflates issues that are far more complex and dynamic.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Mindy Kaling did not create or write Velma. Why is she taking so much heat? by [deleted]
I don’t think 99.9 percent of people criticizing it have watched a single episode. So I don’t think anyone has any idea if it’s a good change or not. Just change.

Thank you for proving my point with the inane everything should never change because the past was perfect post.

You know the answer to this question. And why so many people that have not watched a single episode are talking about how horrible Velma is.

I have plenty of art in my life. You sound like you need some empathy, but it’s the internet so I won’t judge. Let’s just go on about our respective lives.

It’s not. Art can shape a mind. And if the artists shaping that mind is toxic it matters. Science is attenuated from cultural and individual biases; art isn’t.

I am talking about the article because art and science are different. I don’t need to separate art from the artists because as amazing as art can be it doesn’t save lives or change society. Separating science from the scientist is far more palatable and easier since science is built by a tremendous number of people all improving upon or developing that person’s work. Separating art from the artist is not analogous to pretty much any other type of development.

Yes, that is obvious, but that doesn’t just mitigate the problematic author. Basically all this says is you gan separate the art from the artist as long as your separate the art from the artist. It’s neither novel nor particularly philosophically compelling.
HotpieTargaryen t1_j3whwbd wrote
That doesn’t seem terribly helpful. I mean just hating the artist whatever, but why would I want philosophy to help people avoid the consequences of their actions and statements.
