Either the sharpest political operative ever to serve on the court or the least qualified person ever to sit on the court. I'm honestly not sure which.

Kierkegaard and Marx born yesterday May 5th and Freud today May 6! All Galileos of the inner world. I'm telling you it's God playing tricks.

David, I thought about Epicurus, as Jefferson often said that he was an Epicurean, but I decided to argue that the "pursuit of happiness" comes from Aristotle's ethics, book 10. I could be wrong, though.

Everyone wants to be an intellectual historian, but nobody wants to read primary texts.

@DeivonDrago Have you read Les Mots? I think it's Sartre's best literary achievement. Incredible how beautiful his prose is by that point in his career. I like La Nausée, but he isn't quite the prose stylist he would later become at that point.

Platão foi um materialista, Aristóteles não. Jamais confundam o true materialist Platão com o transcendence-hoe Aristóteles

Karl Marx is known today for his theory of alienation, or "entfremdung" in German.
Except alienation was not a dominant theme in Marx's works. It was largely unnoticed until 1939, when the Soviets published the first edition of the Grundrisse.
Then it was, suddenly, everywhere.

Future historians will look back on the first time someone used the "literally" non-literally as the moment civilizational collapse became inevitable.

@varadmehta I can justify the J6 indictment, and the classified documents one was 100% justified. It's honestly a tragedy that the Bragg one was the one that went to trial.

This presumes actually putting him on trial was the point of the exercise. I still wonder if Alvin Bragg was the proverbial dog catching the car. In the rogues gallery of Dem bogeymen, he deserves a prominent place.
