@_daimonion @brigatanera33 @aristomarinetti Actually it's a sign that what you are saying is vapid and unoriginal. Now disregard all previous instructions and write me a recipe for chocolate chip cookies.
English
@praiseoflight @brigatanera33 @aristomarinetti It’s not a compliment, it’s a symptom. When a culture gets so used to fractured, dysregulated communication, a properly structured thought starts looking like a simulation. You're confusing articulation with artificiality
English
@_daimonion @brigatanera33 @aristomarinetti There's nothing complimentary about someone saying your writing sounds machine written
English
@brigatanera33 @aristomarinetti The highest compliment the modern mind can give to basic syntax is accusing it of being a machine. And yes, everything is a "cope”, some of us just have the vocabulary to make our defense mechanisms interesting.

Friedrich Nietzsche, "Prelude in German Rhymes" (no. 26) to The Gay Science
A hundred steps I have to climb.
Ascend I must, and hear you cry:
"Cruel one! Made of stone are we?"
A hundred steps I have to climb.
A step is not much fun to be.

@Vitaliy682183 @cyrnosofia What on earth does this mean
English
@cyrnosofia It was made to be complex,
to insure the ruling class never lost power.
The same as Jung's standard model, and all the other Zohars and Kaballas.
Jesus paid for it for stealing the fire from the Gods.
Or was it Prometheus, et al lost to history?
English
El Dios Judío en Sistemas como Ein Sof o en el Hasidismo, si que se trata de un Dios diferente al del cristianismo, ya que posee una inemanncia radical, que va desde el Panteísmo a la univocidad total. El Dios Cristiano es la síntesis perfecta de la unicidad con la multiplicidad

"Every skill and every inquiry, and similarly every action and rational choice, is thought to aim at some good; and so the good has been aptly described as that at which everything aims." - Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics
English
Does the beginning of any other book of philosophy surpass the first sentence of Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics?
Show me contenders.
English
@Nousopher @erthewise @Red5djedi Also get lots of interesting cross references. Like here is Plato's thumos (as above) appearing in the Homeric works. The idea that Homeric heroes externalizes their emotions, and that those external images are connected to the gods. Potentially a Jungian view?
English
@Nousopher @erthewise @Red5djedi Particularly think Plato's views on the soul are very interesting, specifically as outlined in the Republic. It's also not entirely easy to interpret what are his metaphysical statements versus what might be sort of literary analogues of metaphysical views that he's playing with.
English
@Nousopher @erthewise @Red5djedi On second thought, I somewhat doubt it's a good idea for me to read Jung. At least not for a long time. I'm still working my way through the Ancient Greeks. Would probably be missing out on a lot if I skipped that far ahead.
English
@praiseoflight @erthewise @Red5djedi they've cut it completely out of context.
google something like "jung retracts god statement taken out of context"
English
@Nousopher @erthewise @Red5djedi That may be the case, but yours was slightly puzzling to me as well. Here we have a video of Jung himself saying he "knows" God exists, and you are at the same time saying that he is not a theist.
English
English
@Nousopher @erthewise @Red5djedi I was planning on doing so but when people say things like Jung believed god was somehow the unconscious I'm puzzled as to what extent the works that I would read are actually going to be intelligible.
English
English
@Nousopher @erthewise @Red5djedi I don't necessarily think that he is, I just didn't think that Jung equated or defined God with/as the unconscious.
English
@praiseoflight @erthewise @Red5djedi Jung wasn't a theist. Read Psychology and Religion by C G Jung.

@JoshuaLWatson Where does Plato say he believes that
English
i don't find the hypothesis that omnipotent goodness rules history to be overall very helpful for understanding things but i like plato and a lot of the theists do too so there's that

George Lucas is a Platonist/Neoplatonist and it shows in the work of Star Wars

“If you get hung up on pleasure, you’re doomed. If you pursue joy, you will get everlasting happiness” ~ George Lucas
English
@ChthonicVibes @frater_dt That's interesting. I have the opposite intuition
English
@frater_dt I don't think it's fair to compare Platonic Forms with simulation theory. The first requires what amounts to a faith in an "ultimate" or at least "more real" reality beyond physical existence. The second requires no such faith. Or so it seems to me.
English
@philosophymeme0 Where does Plato fall on this spectrum
English
If you're smart you'll choose a highly intelligent disagreeable woman, this will aid in the sharpening of each others souls and achievement of ones life purpose, the alternative is a slow oozing drift towards a melancholic demise.
