@BigBrainPhiloso Aristotle’ argument is strong until you discover brain. When matter in the brain changes so does the identity of the person. So his argument on something else being there falls apart. And yet mystery remains about form.

Big Brain Philosophy
Big Brain Philosophy@BigBrainPhiloso·
Martha Nussbaum on why Aristotle believed you are not made of matter. In a 1987 interview on the Great Philosophers, philosopher Martha Nussbaum lays out Aristotle's three-part case against material reductionism, the idea that what you fundamentally are is just the stuff you're made of. His argument is more intuitive than it might sound. First: your matter is always changing. "Matter is always going in and out; it's always changing and of course you do change your material constituents very, very often without ceasing to be yourself." Your cells replace themselves. Your body is not the same collection of atoms it was years ago. And yet you are still you. If your identity were your matter, it would vanish and return constantly. But it doesn't. Something persists that isn't the material. Second: what makes a thing that thing is its function, not its parts. Aristotle uses the example of a ship. Replace some of its planks so long as "its functional structure remains the same, we could always replace bits of the matter without having a different thing in our hands." It's still the same ship. The same logic applies to you. Swap out the components, preserve the structure and function and the identity remains intact. This suggests identity lives in the organisation, not the raw material. Third: matter alone is too vague to define anything. This is perhaps his sharpest point. "Matter is just a lump or heap of stuff and so we couldn't say you are some stuff or other; it's only when we've identified the structure that the stuff constitutes that we can even go on to say something intelligent about the stuff itself." In other words: matter, by itself, tells you nothing. It's formless. You need structure form, function, organisation before you can even begin to describe what a thing is. The deeper implication Aristotle is reaching toward: what makes you you isn't a quantity of carbon and water. It's a pattern. A functional whole. A form that persists through constant material flux. Which raises the question if identity isn't located in matter, where exactly does it live?

Today, so many adults, it seems, desire to be a child again. Has someone written something like this today, expanding the conclusions for our current, infantile moment?

🧵 Deciphering 'Big Fish Eats Little Fish' by Pieter Bruegel the Elder This is surreal, cannibalistic scene at the waterfront is perhaps one of the most haunting works by Bruegel. It's based on an old proverb, but it also hides lots of hidden ideas, lets have a look 👇

Z-Library Official@Z_Lib_official·
Dear readers, We’re happy to announce that our Fall Fundraising Campaign 2025 has successfully concluded. We want to sincerely thank everyone who supported our library - your contributions and encouragement mean a lot to us. Our goal remains to provide access to literature and promote education for people around the world. Thanks to your support, we will keep improving and expanding this project with dedication and care. Today we want to share with you our latest update of Desktop application (version 3.0.0) which is now available for Windows and Linux (Debian / Ubuntu, Fedora and Any Linux). Please note that there is currently no new version of MacOS available, but we are working on one and hope to announce it in the near future. One of the most significant updates to this release is the seamless integration of all the latest features of our website into the desktop application. In particular, My Profile, including our recent addition, My Library, has been moved into the app. Naturally, we couldn't imagine the application without the current capabilities of Litera Reader. Every day, we receive many suggestions from users and sometimes implement some of them. For example, we added the ability to move tabs just like in a browser. Another suggestion was the improvement of the three-dot menu, which now remembers whether sections are collapsed or expanded. In fact, we believe that these changes make the app more personalized and tailored to the needs of each user. Last but not least, in between major updates, we have implemented a system to automatically download updates. Previously, you had to wait for updates to be announced through our posts in blog or social media, but now this problem has been fixed, and after downloading our latest version 3.0.0, all notifications will be displayed directly within the application. Please use this link to download Desktop application: #desktop_app_tab" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">library-access.sk/#desktop_app_t… In conclusion, we would like to remind you about the scam website that has recently become more active. We advise you not to try to search for the Z-Library on Google or any other search engines, as it will lead you straight to the scam website. Instead, we recommend saving our website in your browser's bookmarks. Alternatively, you can verify our current and real links on the following websites: Wiki: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-Library Reddit: reddit.com/r/zlibrary If you have any questions or issues, feel free to reach out at support@z-lib.fm.

At the conference after May 9, Putin himself announced the organization of peace talks. He wanted to once again present himself to the world as a peacemaker, but when Zelensky personally agreed to attend the meeting in Turkey, Putin suddenly changed his mind. Trump also 1/9

@ArturRehi @grok So the whole narrative of this thread is based on ‘Putin said he will come to talks but did not come himself’ while the reality is completely different.
