“When pleasure and pain, and love and hate, are rightly implanted in the yet unconscious soul, and after the attainment of reason are discovered to be in harmony with her, this harmony of the soul is virtue, and the preparatory stage, anticipating reason, I call education.” Plato

@HonorAndDaring Data centers are a weird issue. You have anti-corporation environmentalist worshipping liberals inadvertently on the same side as Alex Jones conspiracy theorist right wingers fighting these developments. If they didn't hate each other so much, it would be a nice bonding moment

@romanhelmetguy Odysseus cries after killing the suitors, and after a shot showing Penelope moving from anger to pity, consoles Odysseus during his PTSD-induced sobbing. The ending is Odysseus telling his grandson about his adventures.

My final Nolan’s Odyssey predictions: 1. Odysseus has PTSD. 2. War bad; women most affected. 3. Penelope mad at Odysseus. 4. Killing the suitors is le bad. 5. Telemachus doesn’t kill the slave girls.

I liked George Friedman's view that America has two cycles, institutional and socioeconomic. During the institutional cycle transition our government will adjust to the needs of time. We only have had three institutional cycles in our government, neither of which did Wilson interact with. Soon a fourth one is set to come. Trump is laying the groundwork for the next cycle.

Sums up how I feel about “it all went wrong when Woodrow Wilson invented bureaucracy” (I caricature the right-libertarian view but only slightly)
Octavian 🇪🇺@posta_octavian

One reason why conservatives (and right wingers) hate Hegel is that the entire conservative intellectual sphere is all about one-upping each other with increasingly absurd and obscure points in history where everything supposedly went wrong. The rightoids love this stuff because it LOOKS like an explanation for where everything comes from, it's comforting and demystifies the world for them, so the cattle are very impressed when Dyer blames it all on nominalism, Peterson on postmodernism, Prager U on Marxism, Irvin Babbitt on Rousseau, etc. But seeing ideas as necessary answers to problems and contradictions of their time, as part of the historical development of thought, as Hegel did, makes it impossible to participate in this absurd race to the bottom. Nominalism was simply an attempt to answer the problem of universals, which was a real problem which needed a real answer. You cannot expect people to just stop thinking or to stop looking for answers at some arbitrary moment I'm time because you don't like what they come up with to solve contradictions or problems. A proper right winger is someone like Otto von Bismarck. Did he like German nationalism? No. But he made it subservient to Prussian interests and tamed it. Did he like liberalism? No, but he knew he couldn't pretend it wasn't an important force in society and managed them through parliament and mass enfranchisement. Did he like socialism? No, but he knew it responded to the misery of the working classes so he introduced social welfare, etc. He was successful because he recognised that these ideas have their necessary existence. Rather than try to fight them as these aberrations that shouldn't, he mastered them.

@maphumanintent What the absolute fuck??! Raised 2 boys and the rule was very simple - do not ever start a fight, but if one finds you, you better end it in a way they know to never bother you again. As far as I know each one only had 1 fight and smooth sailing after that.

@BowTiedKong A more positive note: back in the day I was messaging a lot with this girl online: pretty, good family, we had a lot in common. Then I randomly met my wife and that was the abrupt end of that. She messaged me one day asking what she did wrong. I said "nothing, I just met my wife"

I remember being ghosted once for a first date in 2017, texted the girl a few times: “Here, booth near the door” “Ordered food” “Are you ok?” Figured it out about 30 minutes in, but thought at the time it was rare and unusual Learning that it’s now common place. Good to have happen as early as possible in a dating scenario, but still strikes me as bizarre and probably a sign of where we are as a society in terms of decency

@Stephen19718352 @mrs_sunshi40565 Dude, I’ve been telling people for months now that Boomers are stuck in 2008. This meme totally unlocked the Gen X mindset though. I feel like Prometheus ready to share this insight.

Boomers and Gen X are permanently stuck in 2009 when employers were able to hire serious talent and be picky. Also $100k was very high. They can’t believe this isn’t reality anymore. I work for a midsized company and for some reason we will interview like a customer service rep 7 times for a job that pays $55k

84% of small business owners seeking to hire said they found few or no qualified applicants for their jobs, per Forbes.

@BowTiedKong Our Lord’s parable about the talents is a code of life. 1, 3, or 5 talents, God will judge you based on what he’s blessed and entrusted you with.

Craziest part of moving up in life is how often people go to you with their problems I keep my phone on silent for this reason, need time and space to be able to think through the current problems
Jason Applebaum@Jason______A

If you’re a successful adult male, think for just one moment… How many of your “problems” are actually yours vs other people’s? It’s mind boggling. I don’t have a single issue in my life except other people’s that I somehow have to solve for them.

I don’t know if anyone here watches ye ye life, but every week he shoots a series of different caliber at objects to show you how they react. Bullets do weird things. To base a conspiracy theory on the bullet not reacting as you think it should is a position that is out of touch with reality. Oddly enough specifically with the 30.06, the round goes weird places. With this guy is doing is the equivalent of shooting an arrow and then painting a target around where it landed.
Chris Loesch 𝕏@ChrisLoesch

Remain stupid and obstinate, it’s your prerogative. The vulnerability of the neck is augmented by its strength and flexibility as well as the elastic nature of human skin, muscle and tissues. Rigid, inflexible things and dead pig parts are not analogues. It’s wild you can’t read the actual medical and forensic data. A human forearm is much smaller and weaker than a human neck yet you can see clearly where a .30-06 is stopped with no exit wound and the arm was even saved. Your commitment to idiocy is impressive.

Friends, I recently traveled to Washington, DC, to sit down with Vice President @JDVance for a special edition of Bishop Barron Presents. We spoke about his new spiritual autobiography, “Communion”; the Augustinian arc of his life; America's grounding in spiritual values; and his own prayer life as a Catholic. Our rich and wide-ranging conversation will be released soon on my channels, so be sure to tune in.

@RiversRios14 @VeeEmYou This is just my own personal opinion and maybe I'm actually a spiritual-boomer myself but I've kind of accepted "it is what it is, life isnt fair, etc". It doesnt rly matter to me whether my parents had it better than me or not, I'll live life in the way that makes me most happy.

Boomers think millennials are still 22 and zoomers are 13. A result of creeping dementia and purposeful infantilizing to rationalize everyone in charge being 120 years old when their parents were already dead or long retired at this point in their lives.

@VeeEmYou Millennials (30-45) *also* still think they're 22 btw. They still think they're part of the youth rebellion against boomers, while simultaneously being the big kids that boss around the zoomers. Millennials think they're rebelling against boomers but now they're the new boomers
