Summarising major schools of thought into three main soundbites

The one I'd really like someone to do is a sort of compound conservatism?

1. "Every prudent act is founded on compromise and barter" (Burke)
2. ?
3. ?

Also uh Freudianism wld be cool? There are loads of possibilities!

yes because what the world needs is more handy soundbites and less thinking

also religion is a pretty minor subject in Marxism (as is the French revolution - Marx spent more time writing about Napoleon II and the Paris Commune than the French Revolution)

How old is this kid? I think this could help with the adult basic education people I tutor.

I'd like to see the paragraph he wrote, too, if possible.

objectivism

1) the world is run by a cabal of powerful, dynamic, geniuses
2) all the little people and their petty bureaucracies and fears are just holding them back
3) Ayn Rand was hottttt

Abbott I will ask him for permission to upload stuff tmrw?

Shakey I don't <i>teach</i> it as soundbites! Or I try not to, anyway. (xpost thanks!)

oops tags

Ayn Rand was only hot in some photos.

thx Msr. Puzzleworth :D

Habout Ayn Rand:

1. A=A
2. Not A≠A
3. Write a shit philosophy in a book about the triumphant power of architects and architecture students will read it.

Revolutions:

1. There is debate about whether revolutions need to be violent
2. Revolutions have been shown to be good at getting a nation industrialized
3. There's upset about how to rule/who rules a country after a revolution

Marx spent more time writing about Napoleon II

I think you mean Napoléon III.

Dr. Bronner:

1. ALL ONE OR NONE! OK!
2. Rabbi Hillel
3. Clean mind, clean body, clean soap soul

feminism

1) Social divisions based on gender are made in the interest of priveleging one over the other
2) One is not born a woman, one becomes one
3) bras are stupid

(i guess the sort of template for these is as the Ys in a sentence like "Since Xs believe that Y, they would say that..."?)

capitalism

1) private property
2) ?
3) $

oh fuck i was supposed to buy dr bronner's when i went out today

Transactional Analysis

2) You're OK
3) Er, that's it

feudalism

1) the church suffers the lord to rule
2) the lord suffers the people to live
3) get to work

haha

I am slightly modifying the one from wikipedia, but

Solipsism

1. My most certain knowledge is the contents of my own mind.
2. There is no conceptual or logically necessary link between the mental and the physical.
3. I'm a total dickhead who took philosophy 101 and thinks he's king shit and I deserve so many face punches.

episcopalianism

1) martinis
2) golf

3) Heineken? Fuck that shit!

game theory

1) bounded rationality
2) non-zero-sum
3) iterate until dead

3. I'm a total dickhead who took philosophy 101 and thinks he's king shit and I deserve so many face punches.

This could be #3 on like everything.

guess my school of thought:

1) people are born lovely fluffy gooey friendly types
2) they turn into shitheads are held down by The Man
3) rationally reorder society to guarantee certain minimum freedoms

Thatcherism?

"I'm a total dickhead who took philosophy 101 and thinks he's king shit and I deserve so many face punches?"

Social Democracy

1) Hey guys let's not get carried away with the Socialist stuff
2) Or the Democracy
3) VOTE CONSERVATIVE

i'm trying to do one for marx in 3 and it's tuff

yeah I gave up

1. history = struggle btw different segments of society w/ different amounts of power
2. what people (have to) do determines what they think, not the other way around
3. industrialization created a new group of ppl at the bottom, who work but have no connection to what they make (this is bad)

I think you'd have to get Surplus Value in there somewhere.

bbbut it doesn't make any sense!

It does too. And it's probly more important to "Marxism" proper than his Hegelian history schtick.

socialism

1. to each according to his need
2. from each according to his ability
3. get to work

Maoism:

1. There is no pattern for straw sandals
2. Traitors are running-dogs of capitalism
3. Let a hundred flowers bloom

(Soundbites convieniently suppiled in adbaance; get to work)

um ok the LTV is

1. a thing 'should' have a value based on how much labor went into making it
2. ppl will pay lots of $$$ for something that seems like lots of labor went into it (commodity fetishism)
3. through industrialization, this relationship is severed, and labor isn't compensated, the surplus going to the owners of production

(it's step 1 that doesn't make any sense)

I think 1 is problematic mainly cos Marx isn't explicit enough about why the other factors going into production - raw materials & plant, mainly - are always dishonestly acquired in the long run. Otherwise he's saying why shouldn't the worker receive the value of the work s/he's done?

buddhism

1 suffering
2 emptiness
3 luminosity

kant

1) facts != values; description != prescription
2) existence is not a 'property' of a thing
3) what's right is right
