@jaume_diadoc The beauty of Roman imperialism is that I understood you perfectly without having the vaguest idea what language it is that you wrote in.

El grec clàssic és la llengua més difícil amb què he topat mai (i he estudiat llatí, alemany, francès i grec modern entre d'altres). Aprendre les seves declinacions irregulars, els seus 12 infinitius i 36 participis per verb (no és broma) és una magistral lliçó de rigor i esforç.

@cappadocianisms Name of the pdf?

@Athanasius_45 The wonderful play on words here, though, cannot be captured by any translation

Plato on Greek stereotypes: τὴν πόλιν ἅπαντες ἡμῶν Ἕλληνες ὑπολαμβάνουσιν ὡς φιλόλογός τέ ἐστι καὶ πολύλογος, Λακεδαίμονα δὲ καὶ Κρήτην, τὴν μὲν βραχύλογον, τὴν δὲ πολύνοιαν μᾶλλον ἢ πολυλογίαν ἀσκοῦσαν. - Our city (Athens) is considered by the Greeks to be loquacious and talkative, while Lacedaemon is viewed as curt and Crete as exercising thoughfulness rather than garrulousness. Laws 641e

Albert Speer's discourse while tried: youtu.be/Q11-PYT1LTc?si… "Gott schütze Deutschland und die aussländische Kultur" (God protect Germany and western culture) Which modern German politician would dare make such a statement today?

An epigram for Aristocles, better known by his nom de guerre Plato: Σωφροσύνῃ προφέρων θνητῶν ἤθει τε δικαίῳ ἐνθάδε κεῖται ἀνὴρ θεῖος Ἀριστοκλέης· εἰ δέ τις ἐκ πάντων σοφίης μέγαν ἔσχεν ἔπαινον, οὗτος ἔχει πλεῖστον, καὶ φθόνον οὐ φέρεται. - Surpassing mortals in prudence and just character, here lies divine Aristocles, if any man received great praise for wisdom, it was he who received the most, and no grudges are held against him. Greek Anthology 7.60

@JaycelAdkins Oh, the KJV, for sure. Wonderful prose, although its literary merit is its biggest drawback in terms of accuracy

@IronRODSlice @stackerco This is percentages you fucking retard.

@stackerco Cause there’s more American women than Mormon American women? So the numbers for the Mormon American women would automatically be lower, right?

1 in 7 Mormon American women have had cosmetic surgery compared to 1 in 25 American women. Why?

We really need an Iron Guard type of movement but based on Mormonism ASAP

@BretVDB This is fake. Father Staniloaie quite compellingly deconstructed this false pagan narrative. The Apostles' Creed was being read in the early Church, when St. Dyonisus (not Denis!!!) was writing. Do better

“If we want to try and fix a date for Denys, a terminus ante quem is clearly his citation by the Monophysites in 533. A terminus post quem can be derived from his account of the Christian liturgy in his Ecclesiastical Hierarchy, because it seems to include the singing of a creed. The singing of the creed (originally a baptismal creed) in the eucharistic liturgy is an innovation of the late fifth century, introduced among the Monophysites by Peter the Fuller in 476 or thereabouts. Denys, then, would seem to be late fifth century.” —Andrew Louth, The Origins of the Christian Mystical Tradition

Finally finished it guys, peak game

@LanceVader @jaredadairbell And yet, as you yourself aptly remarked, it is a beast.

@jaredadairbell Our theology is a very different beast than what they're used to.

They don’t want to engage our theology. They want to understand why we’re such wonderful people. Mormonism really is the unicorn dressed up as pony with a plastic horn. The ultimate secret.

@jaredadairbell "Why we are such wonderful people" You should really thank your version of God that he made you this nice and wonderful, and not resentful and bitter like myself and other Christians

@LutheranSage If ESV somehow confuses you as a native reader, you have more important problems than posting on Twitter

"Every evil is a sickness of soul, but virtue offers the cause of its health." - St. Basil the Great

Goyslop implies the existence of goygem and yet I've never seen any example of the latter. Curious how that work out.

Kim Jong Un is master of goon

@PAHoyeck Surprised no one said Thin Red Line

Need movie recommendations. What are some of the most philosophically rich films?

@StarkConor "Perhaps the Platonic formula is the Unity of Unity and Multiplicity." Isn't that Damascius' Ineffable?

I am impressed with Beierwaltes’s account (and, according to him, Proclus’s account) of Platonic analogy as the return of self-differentiating moments into unity. One wonders if analogy is compatible with the Hegelian formula afterall, i.e. the Identity of Identity and Difference. Perhaps the Platonic formula is the Unity of Unity and Multiplicity.

@dominbydigdug Because there was very little of it. Sure, there are some good commentaries on Aristotle or Homer, and Photius' Bibliotheka, and Palaeologian chivalier romances copied from the French, but beyond that...
