At last, there is peace. Tranquillity. A victory over all fightings.

@thinkingwest Giambattista Vico sharpened the old Sophist intuition and gave it philosophical gravitas: verum factum — the true is the made. For Vico, the world does not reveal itself transparently to the mind; it becomes intelligible only through the structures humans build into it.

C.S. Lewis was one of the most well-known writers of the 20th century—a testament to the quality of work that influenced him. Tell me, what’s a work that has influenced your thought?

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:

@LeoTollstoy "And nothing could be done with It except to look at It and shudder."

According to Elon Musk, in the next 5 to 10 years, it may be possible to directly upload language into the brain without learning it. It sounds like science fiction, but Neuralink is making it a reality. Elon says the future is a brain directly connected to a machine, with knowledge loaded directly through a communication port. There's no need to waste breath talking; just transmitting signals will allow for complete understanding.

For this and other information on Sörgel’s project, see Alexander Gall, Das Atlantropa-Projekt. Die Geschichte einer gescheiterten Vision. Herman Sörgel und die Absenkung des Mittelmeers (Frankfurt and New York: Campus, 1998).

His plans also proved inspirational to architects like P.Behrens and E. Mendelsohn. Mendelsohn offered his services to Sörgel for the planning of the new coastline of Palestine,which would have been radically different with the reclaiming of the new land created by the_

In four Atlantropa books and some 1000 publications, Sörgel combined a Spenglerian despair of civilization with an engineer’s megalomania.
