Finished reading two books in a single day: 1- The Life of Napoleon (by Stendhal) 2) The Life of Castruccio Castraccani (by Niccoló Machiavelli) Principle: the force that one expends in artistic conception is the same as that expended in the sexual act.

@PhilosophyOfPhy How does he know that he is a 'thinking' being and what is 'thinking' precisely?

“How do I know I am not being deceived?” In 1641, René Descartes asked exactly this while sitting by his fireplace. He began stripping away every belief he could possibly doubt, sense perception, memory, even mathematics until he reached a radical possibility: what if everything I experience is being fed to me as an illusion, like an “evil demon” controlling my senses? This wasn’t just skepticism for its own sake. It was a first-principles reset of knowledge itself. Descartes was trying to find something so fundamental that even deception couldn’t destroy it. What he found was the famous conclusion: cogito, ergo sum, “I think, therefore I am.” Even if everything else is uncertain, the very act of thinking proves that the thinker exists. Doubt itself becomes evidence of existence. This moment helped birth modern epistemology which is the study of what we can actually know and how we can know it. The deeper impact is philosophical but also surprisingly relevant to physics and cognition. It forces a hard realization: we never experience the world directly. We experience a constructed version of it, built by the brain from sensory signals. In that sense, what we call “reality” is always an interpretation, not a raw experience. This idea becomes even more interesting in modern science. Neuroscience shows perception is a prediction process, not a direct recording. And in theoretical discussions, it even echoes ideas like simulation hypotheses, where reality itself could be fundamentally informational. Descartes didn’t prove we live in a simulation. But he did something more important: he showed that certainty has to start from the inside from the one thing you cannot doubt. Everything else is built on top of that.

@QuoteNietzsche It's a difficult question, but if I had to choose it would be 'The Will to Power '

Which one is it?

@nic_munoz The man who brought the power who had overcome the world to its knees

I don't think people realize how underrated Hannibal Barca is. From his biography: "Hannibal was untiring both physically and mentally. He could endure intense cold or heat withe qual ease. He ate and drank only enough to sustain himself, not to indulge his appetites. He could be wide awake or sleep at any time of the day, depending on when his duties allowed. He did not seek a soft bed in a quiet place in which to rest but was often seen wrapped in an army blanket asleep on the ground in the middle of the common soldiers on sentry duty. His clothing was in no way different from other young men his age, though his armament and horses were the very best. He was equally skilled as a fighting man both on the ground and mounted on a horse, always the first to attack and the last to leave the field."

@nadeemhaque It's ironic to say the least witnessing you calling him out for having a country formed by the British's 'divide and rule' framework, as if your own country wasn't the result of the same policy.

You were supposed to be our Singapore — small, sharp, and seriously successful. Instead you caught big-country fever, poking your nose into Yemen and Sudan. Why play vassal to Israel? Take notes from Lee Kuan Yew, not Tel Aviv. And while we’re at it… how did you even become a country? Old British “divide and rule” magic, was it? 😂

@HistoryVille Imagine Cesare Borgia had become the Pope after his father Alexander VI.

On October 31, 1501, former Cardinal Cesare Borgia purportedly hosted an orgy in the Vatican with "50 honest prostitutes" in which his own father, Pope Alexander VI, not only attended but participated in. It was known as the Banquet of Chestnuts. Pope Alexander VI was considered one of the most corrupt popes in all of Catholic history. His name was associated with incest, adultery, bribery, and murder. The pope was also known for selling official positions within the Church and securing power and wealth only for his family, the House of Borgia. #HistoryVille

Nietzsche on marriage, actually perfect

Strongly agree!

@amjadt25 Calm down, brother.

To the EU and NATO: we will do it alone if you can’t. Let the world see who is BRAVE and who is not. The UAE does not negotiate with terrorists. The Islamic regime in Iran is treated as a threat. We banned and dismantled the Muslim Brotherhood, while Britain still hesitate. And to our true partners: thank you, Ukraine..we will not forget your stand in countering Iran’s drones.

@athenaeumbc Knowing when to get angry is the key. Not too early nor too late.

In english we say : I love you But Dostoevsky said : I do not ask for your love in return. To love you is enough. To have known you, to have felt alive in your presence-that is my greatest joy, and I will carry it with me always. You cannot imagine how much happiness you've brought into my life. You came like a light in my darkness, a warmth in my cold solitude, and for that, I will always be grateful. Even if it was but for a single moment, I have known what it is to love and be loved, and that moment will be mine forever, untouchable by time or sorrow.

“Every man is a creature of the age in which he lives and few are able to raise themselves above the ideas of the time.” ―Voltaire

Misfortune, fear, deprivation, risk and mistakes All - as necessary as their opposites The path to our own Heaven will always pass through our own Hell Happiness and misfortune are twins who either grow or remain small together TGS 338 #Nietzsche
