I recently discovered Rick Roderick's lectures on YouTube. Above is the first in his Self Under Siege course, encompassing Heidegger, Sartre, Marcuse, Habermas, Foucault, Derrida, and Baudrillard. Being of a certain age, I especially enjoy his frequent recourse for examples to '90s popular and political culture.

As with Michael Sugrue and Darren Staloff, whom we've already seen on here, Roderick's lectures were produced in the 1990s for The Teaching Company. Roderick effectively completes a trinity, his plain-spoken and poppy radicalism a counterweight to Sugrue's eloquent conservative denunciations of "gnostic ressentiment" and to Staloff's nervous centrist defense of modern liberal civilization.

Superficially, and with the cruelty always involved in typing, he fits a type the Twitter reactionaries have lately named and shamed: the "shitlib yokel" or "hicklib," as his fans' application to him of the label "the Bill Hicks of philosophy" might imply. Conversely, Sugrue might fit the hicklib's antitype: the metrocon.

The hicklib, surrounded in the provinces by complacent conservatives, histrionically over-identifies with left critique, while the metrocon, beset by the "herd of independent minds" known as metropolitan left-liberals, deliberately adopts shocking reactionary rhetoric, each trying to feel free in an ideologically suffocating atmosphere. If the metrocon is too cavalier about what earlier eras of hierarchy and hegemony were actually like, the hicklib is equivalently casual about what toppling every hierarchy might actually cause or whose interests such rhetoric serves.

(I myself have elements of both sensibilities because I've had elements of both experiences—I notice that Roderick's mother, like my own, was a beautician—but am perhaps more the metrocon by temperament. The hicklib tends to have a Protestant background, the metrocon a Catholic or Jewish one.)

I think here of Roderick's calm acceptance, at the end of his excellent Derrida lecture, that philosophy is "white mythology," and that therefore a thousand other (indeed, Other) mythologies deserve to bloom; this may seem naive 30 years later, both about the epistemological chaos such a development occasioned and about anyone's willingness—white, black, other—not to believe their own myths.

On the other hand, now that it's happened—I don't myself believe in any "white mythology," for example—then we have to get through it with the kind of impassioned good humor Roderick models. That's what a good teacher is: not a conveyor of information, which is readily available in books, but a model of sensibility.

Roderick's life ended badly. Duke denied him tenure, and about a decade later, he died in 2002 at age 52. I recommend his son Max's extraordinary elegy, especially for a glimpse of the early violence and horror with which he purchased his adult convictions, a price too high to be dismissed with the culture-war tropes of the essentially nihilistic online era he both did and not quite foresee in The Self Under Siege.

My generation doesn’t live beneath Rick’s empty, Godless sky. We live beneath a sky so full of Gods that they have become mundane and meaningless. Our heritage collapses by the generation; my grandfather had America, my father had Texas, I have my father – what could my children possibly receive?

soooo on a scale of 1 to "i'll rip your arms off" how would Roderick react to mc calling him rick?

can the mc be a menace to R cause its "love at first violence" with them and still romance them?

loved the sneak peek & the whole tone of the story! How explicit are you planing to go with all the detective/murder stuff? I really enjoy the more mature vibe🙌🏻

When I thought about shortening R's name, I thought everyone would respect their wish since even their team doesn't shorten it. But after readers' comments, I realize it doesn't work that way 😂 But I don't plan on emphasizing it. Only T sometimes shortens their name to annoy, but afterward regrets it greatly during their training sessions.

How explicit are you planing to go with all the detective/murder stuff?

About it, and also about R romance...

I'm trying not to overdo it, but about the same as it is now, with detailed descriptions of wounds and blood. When I think of detective work, I think you can't afford to look away or be afraid, because otherwise you can't understand what's going on. The romance with R will be the most intense in terms of the amount of violence. I have some concerns about the fact that in the middle of the romance with R, some readers will realize that they can't fix R and can't agree to such violence, so they'll just abandon the story in the middle altogether.

But that's a problem for future me :> Thank you for the questions!

P. S. please don't try to call them Rory / Reba. I warned you.

Julie and me were (re)watching Rick Roderick's lecture series The Self under Siege which is an excellent introduction to postmodern philosophy but *puts on Daria glasses* it's also an interesting piece of postmodernity itself.

There is something irritating about the positing of faith, and more specifically the faith in the christian god, as this sign of european pre-modernity, as if we could tell whether we are in modern times or not by finding out whether or not people still genuinely believe in god. If they do, they are presumably, by extension, still able to unironically believe in other things, like their selves. Of course, Roderick would never say that things are simple, but I get the feeling that he does say that they used to be. Maybe not actually simple, but simple enough to still be meaningful. Even though the image of the cardinal who gets fat of the tithe while the common people starve is an old one that isn't quite as relevant now as it used to be. Doesn't this complicate the role of faith in the constitution of the self and as a signifier of authentic engagement with the world? Well since it is neither the faith of the people in the church nor the faith of singular church officials in their doctrine that is interrogated, it shouldn't. After all, most people still believed in a god and all that stuff, regardless of how they felt about the church. But here is the thing: people still believe today, they just believe in much more marginal doctrines, that aren't coupled to power as directly as the god of the roman catholic church in the middle ages.

The concern for the self under siege isn't entirely wrong, its just weird: sources of identity are supposed to have been work (social and mundane), faith (social and transcendental) and dreams (personal and transcendental - of personal circumstances that constitute the self, which makes them genuinely transcendental). I don't know if Roderick would agree with this list, probably not, but these are the points that keep coming up as contrast to the postmodern dissolution of a meaningful life. Looking at it like that, the meaningful life seems to be coupled to power and a position in hierarchy. As Roderick points out, the conditions that enable the attack on the self are not negative. We have better medical care, more access to information, more free time, and in general a better standard of living than in the past. They just come with contradictions: more disinformation, the necessity to build entire industries to do away with free time, and a growing disparity of wealth.

Is the individual self, in this analysis, not constituted by the very conditions of its dissolution?

As postmodern philosophers keep pointong out, progress isn't purely a positive force. If you take the word progress in its most abstract meaning it's easy to see how: organizing human life in state-like structures allows for many quality of life improvements by way of large scale cooperation, but it also makes it easy to concentrate wealth and social status, recontextualize possible social roles and establish hierarchies. That is not a contradiction.

I want to go low here and say that the concern for the self under siege comes from living in a society that has progressed, in the most liberal and reductive sense of the word, so far in such a direction that the workings of power are shrouded completely - and forgetting that power still works, just as bluntly as back when. But hell, I don't know. What's the difference between a "meaningful life" and a life driven by intense, overwhelming desire anyway? In this framework?

I never had any children but here are some of my favorite baby names I've come across and considered for if I ever had a child.

Traditionally masculine:

Roderick - Can be shortened to Roddy, Rick, or Ricky. Roderick means Glory or Ruler. Roddy McDowall's full first name. Also the name of one of the main characters from Edgar Allan Poe's Fall of the House of Usher. Roderick is also the name of the man who summoned and trapped Morpheus in the first issue / chapter / episode of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman. And a more obscure reference, Roderick is the name of Dr. Craven's father in the 1963 film, The Raven, starring Vincent Price. I would use this as a "King" name. ;-)

Jareth - A combination of Jerold and Gareth. David Bowie's character's name in Labyrinth.

Pipkin - An unrecorded Middle English name, possibly derived from Phillip. It is also the surname of one of the main characters in Ray Bradbury's The Halloween tree. Ray Bradbury used it as a cross between Pip, the hero from Charles Dickens' Great Expectations, and Pumpkin. Kin also means family. So you are saying "Pip is family." which is very sweet if you know the plot of The Halloween Tree. Kin can also mean "To be like" or "connected to." So the name (in reference to Great Expectations) also means "Like Pip."

Percy or Percival - One of King Arthur's knights, Percival, and the famous poet, Percy Shelley, husband of Mary Shelley (author of Frankenstein.)

Kit - Very old nickname for Christopher. Once was the nickname of the writer, Christopher Marlowe. Now heavily associated with the actor Kit Harington from Game of Thrones.

Jaskier - Polish. Actually means "Buttercup" but actually is considered a boy's name. Pronounced as Yas-key-er. The original Polish name of the bard from The Witcher novels. HIs name is sometimes translated to Dandelion in some of the English adaptations.

Vladislaus - I'd probably never really use this name except in absolutely very specific circumstances. This name comes from an early renaissance war hero and Prince of Eastern Europe. Vladislaus the Third of Wallachia.

________________________

Gender-free names that I like.

Loki - Means Mischief Maker. From the Norse God of Mischief, Fire, and invention. (and sometimes also ice). Marvel depicts him now as God of Stories which fits his mythological roots as God of Invention. In the Poetic and Prose Eddas Loki invented fishing nets. Loki is also the patron of orphans and outcasts, a sympathizer of the outsider. In mythology Loki can be any gender and in Marvel Loki has been portrayed by a man and a woman.

Rowan - The Rowan plant is supposed to be good luck and a pentacle made of Rowman and tied at the points with red string or ribbon protects against black magick.

______________________________

Traditionally feminine:

Gretchen - Old Germain Nickname for Marguerite and similar names. Marguerite was my mother's name, Rita being her nickname.

Gretchen was also the love interest in Goethe's Faust and ultimately saved his soul in Faust Part 2.

Jessamy - can be shortened to Jess or Jesse or even sometimes May. It's similar to Jessica but derives out of Jasmine.

Evie - Eve was (according to the Abrahamic mythos) the first woman. Evie is also short for "evening." Evie was the name of the hero in the 2022 film The invitation. It can also be short for Evelyn but I prefer Evie to Evelyn.

Shelley - Traditional girl's name and the married name of author Mary Shelley, writer of Frankenstein. Also the surname of the poet Percy Shelley.

Wilhelmina - The old version of Wima. Can have the nickname Mina or Will. And I think Will is a cute nickname for a girl ever since I heard the song "The Will to love" from W.I.T.C.H. ________________________________ Twin names: Masculine Twins: Jareth and Geralt. Geralt is the first hero of The Witcher novels. _________________________ Feminine Twin names: Gretchen and Jessamy _______________________ Masculine / feminine twin names: Percy and Shelley for the pun in creating the name Percy Shelley (the nineteenth century poet and husband of Mary Shelley, author of Frankenstein). ___________________________ Gender-free: Loki and Rowan

Since I cannot get that Mummy (1999) dreamling AU out of my brain, here comes my reflections on who's who in said AU (for “The Mummy” and “The Mummy Returns”):

Hob would obviously be Rick (ex soldier, survivor, knows how to fight, was probably arrested while he was drunk in a bar, himbo, so in love with Dream, accepts to lead the way to Hamunaptra in spite of the fact he nearly died there the last time only because Dream asked (and saved his life but he probably would have done it anyway), basically would follow Dream to the end of the world (including the Scorpion King’s lost Oasis))

Dream would be Evie (smart, kind of awkward, likes to be right, actually passionate (although he tries to keep a cold/stiff demeanor), so in love with Hob (though doesn’t want to acknowledge it at first), doesn’t know how to fight but would still fight anyone and anything that dares threaten Hob - also he always dresses in black no matter the weather and has a pet Raven named Matthew because I said so!)

Death would be Johnathan (yes they don’t exactly have the same temper but she too has a sense of humour - and kind of likes to (gently) annoying her brother. She is friendly, adaptive and adventurous.She found they Key to Hamunaptra, she’s the reason Dream and Hob met in the first place, and she probably knows what’s up between her brother and their new friend right from the start.)

Roderick Burgess as Imhotep (who was condemn to endure the Curse of Hom Dai as a punishment for trying to revive his dead son (and tries to do it again when he return as an immortal creature)

The Corinthian as a mixt between Beni and Dr. Allen Chamberlain (less of a soldier and more of an Egyptologist. Never met Hob but shares history with Dream (they strongly dislike each other). He is smart and suave and found a way to Hamunaptra by himself (probably assassinating a few people in the process) and leads the American team at least partly to piss Dream off. The American team is made of some of the Collectors (except they are not serial killers but greedy archeologists))

Lucienne as Dr.Terence Bey (curator of the Cairo Museum of Antiquities, secretly member of a society set to prevent Roderick’s return, and Dream’s boss (I just love the idea of Lucienne being the boss in this one!). Oh, yeah, and in this version she survives!)

Ethel Cripps as the warden of Cairo Prison (who accepts to release Hob in exchange for a percentage of whatever riches they may find in Hamunaptra. Her son John Dee may be the one to resurrect Imothep (again) in the second movie in order to avenge her mother if she died during the expedition (and he holds Dream responsible for her dead).

Fiddler's Green as Winston Havelock and Izzy Buttons (who doesn’t die when his plane crashes so he can come back when the mummy returns but this time with a hot-air balloon)

As for Ardeth Bay, I am not quite sure. I thought of Rose (a bit young maybe? and I have no idea what to do with Jed in that scenario...) or maybe Alex Burgess (a descendant of Roderick making sure his ancestor doesn’t come back? but he could as well be a descendant whose ancestors never ceased to try and set Roderick free? (then there could be a subplot where Paul is one of the Medjai fighting to keep Roderick from resurrecting and they could fall in love Romeo and Juliet style?)), but in the end i think Johanna Constantine makes more sense (her job is basically to fight demons and other creatures of the like).

Finally, Lucifer would be no other than the Scorpion King (a powerful king with an entire army at their command...)

Also, In "The Return of the Mummy”, I could see Rose and Jed be distant relatives of Dream and Death (I mean it’s canon!). Jed being passionate about History and Egypt and ending up putting the Bracelet of Anubis on BUT I also really love a version in which Hob ends up wearing the bracelet (tell me he wouldn’t!) and thus gets kidnapped and Dream is REALLY pissed off about it! (in this version, nobody warns Hob that he has to enter the pyramid before the sun sets on the third day so he is all relieved when he gets reunited with Dream (who knows) in the Oasis only for Dream to panic because “why are you stopping to hug me? Start running to that Pyramid!!”). But then I don’t know what roles Rose and Jed could have in the story and I would like to include them!

...and that is all i can think of for now! Don’t hesitate to add if you have other ideas😊

[ Roderick tends to be attracted to people who contrast his personality. He’s a bit quiet and introverted, so he enjoys people who are animated and outgoing, as longs as they also value a peaceful domestic life. Rick is a hard worker and needs quiet moments to rest/recharge. ]

#[Roderick canon]#[ he's got a big thing for bubbly sunshine girls ]#[ or guys who have a bit of puppy energy ]#[ he's also a brat tamer so.... he does like a bit of attitude sometimes ]

Okay I said I wouldn't talk abt it again bc it's just very abstract rambling but in one of the posts on Rick Roderick's Self under Siege lectures I wrote this and than struck it through instead of deleting it because I wasn't entirely sure what I was going for anymore:

The search for the self and meaning is such a weird abstraction. The self is under a unique attack under postmodernity? Was it not before? Where is the meaning? Why is it in the past? Why is it always in the past? Is meaning stability or rebellion against stability? A place to belong? A map how to get there or somewhere else? Why would that be meaningful? Did meaning use to grow on fucking trees? Was it a land of milk and honey type of situation where you lived your life and whether you were content or not you found meaning waiting for you in the structure of your life? Ready to jump into your mouth? Life was either a tragedy or a fucking epic? Or like a slice of life anime? A sitcom? Is meaning not something you have to actively find, not search, but find? A projection of the familiar onto the unfamiliar world? Like when you go "oh shit" in a certain situation? Why has this disappeared? Is it really complexity as such that has increased? Does the complexity not come from a rather blunt increase in scale? At every turn? Is the difference between tragedy and the grotesque that Dürrenmatt describes not a difference in scale? Does it not still hold true? Is the self passive? Did the subject use to be active? Were the supposedly eroded institutions not in constant competition with each other? Did some of them not prove to be more effective? The liberal state has triumphed over religious zealotry and superstition is a kind of propaganda but doesn't it point to several real conflicts of interest? Did victory end the secular state? Is history over? Is there really only a wasteland of overwhelming information left that confuses people and reduces them to a lost self? Is meaning the destination or the friends along the way? What is "in our times the self is under siege" really saying?

But now I think it's actually a very good response to the framing of the lectures. Again they're very good introductions into postmodern philosophy but I do think the framing is naive.

The lectures were held at a time when the full extent of Heideggers fanatical fascism wasn't known but nonetheless Roderick ends his lecture on him with a remark about how while Heidegger's philosophical writing is valuable it also made him wary about homeliness rhetoric and authenticity because "you can be an authentic swine", and an authentic fascist. In his lecture on Sartre he makes a point of quoting him as having said in retrospect that at no point in his life had he been happier and more fulfilled than when he was writing about the futility and suffering of life. And yet, when he comes to Baudrillard he starts out with the assertion that "if anything still has meaning in this world it is war" and he does not complicate this, he uses it as a jumping off point for a talk about The Enemy has disappeared.

So what is "in our times the self is under siege" really saying? It is saying that on one hand we have the neoliberal capitalist world order that was at the height of its power when the lectures were held and on the other hand we have meaning only in death. In the valiant, but futile struggle. Despite him pointing out the contradiction between Sartre's words and later self-professed feeling of fulfillment - or because of it - meaning, Roderick says, could be found in war. The 12 step programs, the wellness gurus that fish in the waters of neoliberalism for the people who feel like they are drowning, are to be rejected. If you worry about your health or your future, you're not engaged in a meaningful struggle, you're a square.

Now Roderick is too smart for this, but still, I think a part of the groundwork is being laid in the lectures. Despite his wariness of authenticity the quest for meaning that he hints at is ahistorical and apolitical. Meaning is to be found in clarity. And what could be more clear than death?

Addendum:

There is a reason guys like Jordan Bernt Peterson go on and on about the dangers of nihilism, and that they see it lurking everywhere. Because he really does see it everywhere. It's not projection, it's what his followers believe at heart. It's the post-ironic condition of the very online guy whose insecurity causes him to believe in only two alternatives: being a "normie" - square, dupe, who just doesn't get it; and the black pill - meaning in the rejection of life, in an unwinnable struggle, in valiantly taking as many motherfuckers down with you as you possibly can. That's why nihilism is the pressing problem of the age for Bernt and his ilk, because while a following of death seekers can be effective if you only want to murder people, it's hard to build a constructive, lasting movement out of them.

This is where Bernt's obsession with Nietzsche enters, because while Nietzsche's hatred of women and equality and his love for struggle and strength agrees with him and his followers, Nietzsche has nothing but contempt for deathseekers and the place he finds meaning in is in living his life fully. His work would seem like a natural stabilizer to an instable movement, but I think it is to radical in its will to life - which is how the weird online neo trad christian fascism enters the scene. Fascism doesn't reject the deathseekers but it puts them to full use and, I'm not really sure how etc but, it also keeps a group of opportunists who profit off of the violence and bathos of the deathseekers and keep things running.

莊子 can see the happiness of the fish just by looking at them. Can you?

Plus he hates the pressure for artificial social harmony - and he can still see the happiness of the fish. You incel could never.

#im a hater #ok im shooting myself a bit in the foot there with bringing up Zhuangzi at the end but whatever its not wrong #there is a comment under one of rodericks lectures on youtube along the lines of 'he would have hated all the pc insanity nowadays'#and its like you really only hear what you want to hear like roderick talks abt how he was a union organizer and makes fun of conservatives #fear and conspiracy theories regarding post modern philosophers but sure #the problem is as ive said here i kind of get which specific parts this very online comment guy picked out to believe that
