@novusolus Do you want to know what the adaptation would have been like at its absolute best? Read his masterpiece, The Incal.

@RyanHaecker So you don’t agree with O’Regan that Hegel collapses the Creator-creature distinction and replaces transcendence with an immanent process? Do you know any good secondary literature on The Science of Logic from a Catholic perspective?
English
"Hegel sweeps away any notion that faith and reason are at odds, and has no time for a Wolffian concordat between proximate but separate spheres for theology and philosophy; and he makes human epistemological self-confidence inseparable from confidence in God: only in relation to God can we actually think, and think what thinking is.... Ironically, Hegelian Idealism is in this [Barthian] perspective a resurgence of medieval Catholicism in its most subtle and seductive shape, and its theological challenge is essentially that of the Thomistic synthesis.”
- Rowan Williams, Dialectic and Analogy: A Theological Legacy, in The Impact of Idealism: The Legacy of German Thought v. 4, ed. Nicholas Adams

@PinballWiz4rd Half your tweets are reflections on America or theology. The other half read like Bret Easton Ellis adapting a Placebo B-side. Curious specimen. youtube.com/watch?v=hKLONj…

@iyoprego @novusolus Liberation theology is bad, yes. But this book is good. Gutiérrez and Cardinal Müller have interesting things to say. And in many respects, they tried to distance themselves from Marxism.
English
@JorgeRogeli @novusolus the liberation theology spouted by Gutierrez is one of the worst excesses of Vatican 2's temporal gospel of social justice
English
@novusolus @iyoprego He prioritizes the raw, brutal defiance of the sufferer over the hollow dogma his friends weaponize to defend a rigid "reward and punishment" system. You cannot domesticate God.
English
@novusolus @iyoprego As always with Žižek, the few good things he has to offer are always borrowed from thinkers better than himself. God rejects the cold theology of Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar, explicitly stating: "You have not spoken accurately of me, as my servant Job has."

@WokeBeyond Are you saying Cromwell made England the strong arm of Judaism from 1656 onward, reviving the belief that Jews have a central role in history, preparing the world for their conversion, and using Sephardic networks to expand England's empire and economy? Comprehend my surprise.

@_bonaventurian @kevinofsolmira I’m sorry, but a single page of The Sound and the Fury is worth more than Hart’s entire body of work. The fact that he imagines himself qualified to judge when Faulkner succeeds or fails is genuinely laughable.

@graveair and the horror is purely cosmic. The agony of realizing marriage isn't just a contract, but a terrifying metaphysical architecture. When that structure collapses, the universe itself fractures, birthing a literal monster from the wreckage of absolute alienation.
English
A Possession remake doesn’t work because the whole inspiration is from a deeply catholic director tortured by the eternal vow of a marriage that cannot be salvaged or fixed, I don’t think the director of “Smile 2” understands the fundamental horror of the project itself.

@PinballWiz4rd ... puritans as the chosen New Israel, the Hebraic covenant fused with the mercantile spirit, the readmission of the Jews in the 1650s invoking biblical restoration. Jewish commercial acumen sanctified the Financial Revolution. The very same Whig economism.

@PinballWiz4rd Yockey wrote this 78 years ago, without needing to act all esoteric and mysterious. Moreover, he tore them apart philosophically, demonstrating that they share the same economistic reductionism. But of course, Yarvin is overlooking the profound philosemitism of England, the

This is really just stating the obvious but everyone nowadays is a chestbeating retard so for many it probably seems a mysterious and profound contention.
Guilherme Gomes Santos@guilherme94jose
Yarvin revives Oswald Spengler's thesis that liberal capitalism and Marxism are rival expressions of the same English liberal tradition. For Spengler, Marx merely subverted the logic of capitalism. Hence his description of Marxism as "the capitalism of the working class." Both reduce history to economic forces, share the same materialist assumptions, and ultimately derive from a common Anglo-Saxon intellectual tradition.

@cyrnosofia Esto ya lo dijo Don Leonardo Castellani hace muchas décadas. Y el itinerario espiritual y existencial de Kierkegaard coincide y desemboca de forma natural en las posiciones esenciales de Santo Tomás

Por lo visto hay un buen puñado de académicos que consideran a Kierkeegard y Blaise Pascal como superadores de Hegel

@DollPariah A director creates. Editors perform the last miracle. An actor obeys. That's the hierarchy. The profession's greatest achievement is convincing itself it deserves to speak between takes. Shut up, hit your mark, and be grateful someone remembered your name in the credits.
English
@DollPariah Stage experience? Camera experience? You're arguing over the pedigree of livestock. Actors spend their lives believing they're the point when they're just the noisiest prop on set. The film survives them. Most of them don't survive the edit.
English
Ohhh okay I understand her now. She’s talented but if you can’t do stage you really aren’t an actor like that. That’s honestly what is missing from the majority of performers now, and I forget they don’t have stage experience because it should be unfathomable that they wouldn’t. If you have only performed for the camera your world is just so much smaller.
Z is fabulous as a character like Rue who lives selfishly in a world of one but unconvincing in Challengers as a young girl comfortable competing in stadiums.

Zendaya says she'll stop "chickening out" and finally try theater one day Nicole Kidman: "You haven't done stage?" Zendaya: "I haven't done that yet. I'm so nervous." "I have such a respect for theater performers because it is such an emotionally demanding thing to do." "It's definitely something i want to" "Maybe one day I'll do it. I'll stop chickening out."

@LIgfried why this civilization is still standing after so many thousands of years, which is miraculous, when you think about it.

@LIgfried I suppose that dynamic also explains why Chinese political thought has always prioritized effectiveness and mastery of the situation over doctrinal purity. It is the reason why even radical changes could be presented as restorations of order. And that is likely part of the reason

@RyanHaecker Scientists invented dinosaurs because they are too cowardly to admit the fossil record is just overwhelming, undeniable proof that cool fire-breathing dragons were real. They literally named a giant lizard "fearfully great lizard" and hoped nobody would notice we found a dragon
English
TRUTH NUKE
The extinction of the dinosaurs was a providential act of God to prepare the earth for human evolution.
The deceitful Serpent in the Garden of Eden is a figure of both the Devil and his dinosaurs.
Dinosaurs were literally dragons.

@CreationistF It truly is a phenomenology of the body, and through Aristotle, Marx anticipated by nearly a century thinkers like Merleau Ponty and all the ''Embodied cognition'' stuff
English
@CreationistF ...the soul and the body are inseparable, viewing it as a powerful antidote to the abstract idealism of his contemporaries, which had completely detached consciousness from its material and bodily foundation.
English
Marx is very much thinking in the classical tradition, and in the “Platonic” political tradition. The influence of Aristotle’s hermeneutic is clear when you read him, to the degree he was going to write a text on Aristotle
Ebenezer Fagin@JorgeRogeli
@CreationistF It will never cease to be funny that Marx detested Tendenzpoesie (proto socialist realism) calling it literature for the mentally r3tarded and preferred reading Dante, Goethe, Balzac, and Shakespeare instead.
