Oh, I didn't know there was a new one! I might watch it.
By glorifying war, do you mean it's like war porn for boomers. Like Dunkirk, Saving Private Ryan, that kind of thing?
We watched the movie when I was in High School. I liked the book more.
The medieval Christians and Muslims tried to systematize the world metaphysically through foundationalist epistemology, and insofar as you can assume properly basic beliefs hold, you can actually take that pretty far. Until you get a David Hume, who attacks the foundations of proof, what it even constitutes, how you can even go about justifying your most basic assumptions, and then the entire method eats itself. Modern philosophy like Nietzsche is more like psychology than it is classical philosophy.
There are a few simple fiction books I can enjoy. All Quiet on the Western Front is a favorite of mine.
True. Plato isn’t a good read because he’s right. He’s good because he was human. It doesn’t hold up to modern epistemology at all, nor does most of metaphysics. The death of Plato is kind of synonymous with the death of religion in the past 150 years.
I don’t like reading fiction actually because I have a NPC brain that does no work to imagine a setting at all. The closest thing to fiction I’ve enjoyed recently were the Pageau brothers’ comic book “God’s Dog.” It’s about the great saints of the Catholic/Orthodox liturgical calendar going on an adventure.
>Philosophy easier than fiction.
Big brain gorl lmao
I used to be super into it when I was learning about Byzantine culture and arguments but in retrospect Plato is the only good one.
You’re cucking to an admin who conspired with Claire (grifter, gayopper, methwhore) to ban book.
They’re heavily influenced by Aristotle. Have you read him? (Forgiven if not, Aristotle is boring af)
What do you think of the medieval philosophers?
I've accepted my fate. Live by the pod, die by the pod.
We're here forever 👀 But probably by the time we're in our 40's the Internet will be so fragmented that it's just small scale group chats anyway.
Still tweaking my new TV. It seems the only way to get accurate colors on this thing is with low saturation, low brightness, but moderately high contrast. Brightness shouldn't matter if it's genuinely just an LED setting, but apparently it is not on this TV, as it causes severe bleeding of the brighter colors.
We're blocked on all sides.
Not Fedi, not Nostr, but a secret third thing.

Ah, yes, those goddamn bird nationalists.
You probably know it from pop culture references. Also don’t let your dad force you to watch things.
Just take the compliment! 😆
