@Jaamennn @TimONeill007 @JackSlaterPT @ModernDad @HumbleFlow Yeah, 5 out of 27 chapters is closer to 18.5%. So what was your point to begin with?

@TimONeill007 @JackSlaterPT @ModernDad @HumbleFlow Where are you getting 26%?

Western civilization is the greatest to ever exist. We built the Parthenon. Then we built Notre-Dame, Chartres, and the Hagia Sophia. We painted the Sistine Chapel, the School of Athens, and Las Meninas. We sculpted David, the Pietà, and the Winged Victory of Samothrace. We wrote The Iliad, The Divine Comedy, and Hamlet. We gave the world Plato, Aristotle, Aquinas, Descartes, Newton, and Goethe. We discovered the laws of physics, invented calculus, and mapped the human genome. We built Athens, Rome, Paris, and Vienna. We crossed oceans, reached the moon, and split the atom. Every civilization has its achievements. But none built more, thought deeper, or reached further.

@Metzler00 @RobertMidgley07 @extracheese3 Roughly 90% of the UK lies in the western hemisphere.

@RobertMidgley07 @extracheese3 America for the Americans! You got no business in the western hemisphere so Falkland island or Malvinas need to return to Argentina.

The Falkland Islands voted 99.8% to remain British Self-determination is not up for negotiation

@Babygravy9 You could at least learn to tell them apart.

This is actually very well done deliberate comedy. Morgan knows he’s walked straight into a trap but he doesn’t have a way out. Incredibly well played by Brand not even to show a sign—not even a murmur—of what he’s doing.

@hogster @AntigoneJournal Historians have published entire review symposia on the myriad of falsehoods in "The Swerve". SG isn't dumb. He knew his story is BS but that it would sell like hot cakes. What do you call someone like that?

@MRedivivus @AntigoneJournal I think calling Greenblatt a grifter is absurd. And I’d have him back any time.

Do you know Stephen Greenblatt's book The Swerve: How the World Became Modern? Its thesis, that the rediscovery of Lucretius' Epicurean poem De Rerum Natura forged the Renaissance, wowed many readers. But what if it's totally wrong? antigonejournal.com/2023/05/lucret…

@hogster @AntigoneJournal No. You are capable of holding yourself to a higher standard and not platform grifters and charlatans.

@MRedivivus @AntigoneJournal The only ones I have, sadly.

@hogster @AntigoneJournal Being gullible and easily impressed aren't virtues worth flaunting.

@AntigoneJournal I did a podcast with him on it. He was a great guest and it’s a wonderful book. Whether the title is justified I am not sure but the rest of the story is great nonetheless! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/sub…

@Bonifacts Major coal poster. It's maybe not so bad he didn't get the Chich chair.

@MemoryMedieval @RomeInTheEast Aren't you supposed to already know this, using your research skills as CEO of medieval history?

@RomeInTheEast I'd like to see a breakdown on what came through where. I know its an insanely huge ask but I've been curious about this for a while.

“Without the scribes of Constantinople, nearly all Ancient Greek literature would be lost, with the sole exception of a few papyrus texts like those found in Egypt or encased in ash at Herculaneum.” “We have the original works of Plato and Aristotle, for instance, only due to Greek manuscripts of their works…Without such manuscripts our access to Aristotle would be almost only through medieval Arabic translations.” Source - A History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps: Byzantine & Renaissance Philosophy by Peter Adamson An added thought of my own…I often wonder, where did those Greek texts used for the Arabic translations come from, if not from Eastern Roman libraries in the provinces they conquered? The Persians had translations too. But it wasn’t from libraries in Arabia.
