1. The Consolation of Philosophy, Boethius Written while he awaited execution, the work is a dialogue between Boethius and Lady Philosophy who consoles the author by discussing the fleeting nature of worldly goods. It influenced the late-antique mind more than any other work.

In 1962, C.S. Lewis was asked to name the books that most influenced his life philosophy. The list he came up had many classics, but also some lesser known gems. Here’s his list:

First day ! !️ That the mother immediately intervened and took her daughter out of there is an act of pure strength and protection. No daughter deserves that on her wedding day or any day. Good for her for acting quickly 👏

Karl Popper Quotes
Karl Popper Quotes@QuotePopper·
Karl Popper on How We Gain Knowledge: ––Karl Popper: "People think, usually, that we acquire knowledge by opening our eyes and our ears and let the sensations stream into us, and they believe then that we record this like a camera. In my opinion, if we wish to get knowledge, we have to have a problem. It has to be knowledge of something. We have to find out something. We don't have to wait for information to stream into us, but we have to be inquisitive if we want to get knowledge. If we were passive, we would gain a confused mass of sensations or something like that, which we would hardly be able to understand and to convert into what one may call knowledge. Quite apart from that, perception is not really, in my opinion, the main source of our knowledge. The role of perception is to inform us about a momentary situation in our environment. But we couldn't really interpret our perceptions without knowing much more about our environment, namely, we know whether we are in a house or whether we are in a glacier. So we have two kinds of knowledge: this wider knowledge of a frame in which we orientate ourselves, and the momentary perception which gives us information about the situation at that particular moment. And it is only this situation in which we can use our perception. So we have theoretical knowledge and, if you like, the momentary practical challenge to our theoretical knowledge. And here comes perception in."

President Trump has posted this picture on social media of himself as Christ healing the sick. I’ve long given up saying how hard it is to think of any previous US president who behaved like Donald Trump, but comparing himself to Jesus puts him on another level altogether.

Humza Yousaf, the former First Minister of Scotland, claims that the Pakistani Muslim grooming gangs are fake news and instead accuses native white British men of committing most of the rapes in the UK. He completely inverted reality.

@realMaalouf There is something seriously wrong in society if women have to deport themselves in public out of a sense of fear. The contents of men’s heads is the problem.

Muslim woman in the UK claims it’s Western and non-Muslim women’s fault if they are harassed by Muslim men: “They are harassed for dressing like hussy women. If they wore the hijab and niqab, they would have more dignity and self-respect!” Thoughts?

@TheBritLad Halal butchery is deeply offensive to the British sensibility. Should it therefore be banned?

🚨BREAKING: Islamists and far-left activists, are calling for images of bacon sandwiches to be included as part of the definition of “Islamophobia”. They say, bacon is forbidden to Muslims and others should show respect for Islam. What is your message to the bacon haters?

Mohamad Uklah, an Islamist preacher who arrived in the UK as a refugee, publicly calls for the extermination of Druze and “infidels, atheists, heretics” during a sermon. Thousands of recently arrived ‘refugees’ in Europe share the same mentality.

Islamist imam in the UK declares: “We must unite and build a political system within these nations based on Islam. We must Islamize the culture, the language, and the minds of the people. It will take time, but we will succeed.” What do you think?

The British police have dropped the case against the Palestine Action “activists” who slashed and defaced a 1914 portrait of Lord Balfour at Cambridge's Trinity College last year. No charges. No accountability. A deliberate attack on history met with silence

People are right to be angry when they see others disrespecting our laws. Now, those who try to make the crossing illegally will soon find themselves back where they started. That is a real deterrent. express.co.uk/news/politics/…
