Greta's Philosophy

A philosophical theory about what happens after death, named after the Vermont libero from whom it originated. In which there is two heavens and two hells. One heaven is for genuinely good people and one is for people who followed the letter of the law but not the spirit. One hell is for truly bad people and one is for people who have done bad things or "bad" things but were overall good or kind people.

I believe in Greta's Philosophy, how about you?

N-Dimensional Philosophy

The branch of thought that asks whether our 3D perspective is fundamentally limited, and whether a higher-dimensional being would see us as flatlanders, trapped in our spatial slice, unable to perceive the full truth of existence. It questions whether God might be a 4D being, whether our souls might be N-dimensional, and whether death is just a rotation into an axis we can't perceive. N-dimensional philosophy makes you feel both very small and very hopeful, as your problems might be solvable if you could just access the 5th dimension, where the car keys are probably just sitting there, visible to anyone with the right geometry.

N-Dimensional Philosophy *Example: "After a long week, he sat in his 3D chair, in his 3D apartment, and thought N-dimensional philosophy. 'Maybe my stress,' he mused, 'is just the 3D shadow of a 4D calmness. If I could just perceive the extra axis, I'd see that everything is fine.' He then realized that even if this were true, he was still stuck in 3D, and the stress returned, possibly from a dimension he couldn't access."*

Spacetime-Probability Philosophy

The branch of thought that asks what meaning, responsibility, or even identity can exist in a reality where every possibility is actualized somewhere. If every choice you could make is made by some version of you, are you responsible for any of them? If there's a branch where you're a saint and a branch where you're a sinner, which one is the "real" you? And if infinite versions of you exist across the probability dimension, is death just a local phenomenon, with other branches where you're still alive, possibly reading this definition and wondering the same thing? Spacetime-probability philosophy doesn't provide answers, but it does provide an excellent excuse for every bad decision: "Somewhere, a version of me didn't do this, so statistically, I'm only half responsible."

Spacetime-Probability Philosophy Example: "After a particularly bad breakup, he sat in deep spacetime-probability philosophy. 'Somewhere,' he thought, 'in another probability branch, we're still together, happy, maybe even watching a movie. And somewhere else, we never even met. And somewhere else, I'm the one who left first. So which version is the real me? Which version is the real her? And why does the version that's currently crying on the couch feel so much more real than all the others?' He then realized that philosophy, while profound, did not help with the crying."

Spectral Variables (Philosophy)

The philosophical recognition that every system of thought contains unexamined assumptions that function as hidden variables, shaping conclusions without ever appearing in premises. These spectral variables include cultural background (Western vs. Eastern frameworks), linguistic structures (languages that force certain distinctions), historical position (what questions are thinkable in a given era), and personal biography (traumas that make certain ideas appealing or repulsive). Philosophy that ignores its own spectral variables mistakes its local ghosts for universal truths. The discipline advances not by exorcising these ghosts—impossible—but by mapping them, acknowledging them, and incorporating that acknowledgment into thought itself.

Spectral Variables (Philosophy) "Your entire ethical framework rests on a Spectral Variable: the assumption that individual autonomy is the highest good. That's not a universal truth—it's a ghost from Enlightenment Europe, haunting your philosophy while you pretend to reason purely."

Critical Theory of Philosophy

The application of Critical Theory to philosophy itself—examining how the discipline has been shaped by power, whose voices have been included or excluded, and how philosophy can serve liberation rather than domination. Critical Theory of Philosophy asks: Why is the canon so white, so male, so Western? What counts as philosophy, and who decides? How has philosophy been used to justify hierarchy? It doesn't abandon philosophy but insists on a philosophy that reflects, that includes, that transforms. Philosophy without self-critique is just ideology with footnotes.

"Your philosophy degree covered nothing but dead white men. Critical Theory of Philosophy asks: why? Where are the women? The non-Western thinkers? The voices from below? The canon isn't natural; it's constructed—and that construction reflects power. Critical theory doesn't reject philosophy; it demands a philosophy that includes everyone, that questions everything, including itself."
