@DailyNewsIran yes prophet. we will mark your words

Something worst than covid is coming Mark my words

@YianisCY Εύχομαι να παίρνω αυτό για το οποίο δουλεύω

ΠΑΙΡΝΕΙΣ ΑΥΤΟ ΓΙΑ ΤΟ ΟΠΟΙΟ ΔΟΥΛΕΥΕΙΣ, ΟΧΙ ΑΥΤΟ ΠΟΥ ΕΥΧΕΣΑΙ.

@ChunLiangTuiU @dwarkesh_sp You need to upgrade your way of thinking. To resist actually means you are faithful to something. You are protecting something. Why else resist?

@ChunLiangTuiU @dwarkesh_sp Yes you are right. We all share the same theoritical roots. Yet somehow China and Russia oppose the western narrative - can you explain this?

David Reich on how much ancient DNA evidence has overturned so much consensus thinking how ancient cultures spread. "It wasn't peaceful, it wasn't friendly, it wasn't nice. Some of our archaeologist co-authors were just really distressed."

Here is my official position on Christianity: The New Testament was "written to fulfill prophecy" (i.e., fabricated or retrofitted after the fact) not a recording a historical person genuinely fulfilling Old Testament expectations They drew on existing Jewish hopes that the God of Israel would one day be worshiped by the nations, and used a Jesus figure to make that happen Jewish scriptures already contain strong themes of universal worship: - Isaiah 2:2-4, 11:10, 42:6, 49:6, 56:6-7 - Gentiles streaming to the God of Israel, the nations worshiping at the Temple, Israel as a "light to the Gentiles." - Zechariah 8:23, 14:16 - Foreigners grabbing hold of Jews to learn about God; all nations coming to Jerusalem. - Psalms 22:27, 86:9, etc. - All families of the nations worshiping the Lord. These passages created an expectation that the God of Israel would eventually draw the whole world. Gentiles (Greeks, Romans, etc.) had no reason to care about Jewish scriptures. Why trust the Jews’ prophets? Their God seemed tribal and weak - His people were conquered repeatedly, the Temple was destroyed, and many prophecies of restoration and worldwide rule looked like obvious failures or unfulfilled boasts. Dismissing Jewish prophecy as fraudulent or mythical would have been the default skeptical response. The NT Solution: Jesus as Proof That the Prophecies Are Real By centering the story on "Jesus fulfilled the prophecies," the New Testament does something very powerful: - It retroactively validates the entire Old Testament prophetic tradition in Gentile eyes: “Look these ancient Jewish writings weren’t empty promises or lies. They were accurate predictions pointing to this man. Therefore, the God behind them is the true God.” - Jesus becomes the living demonstration that the prophecies work. Every claimed fulfillment acts as evidence: “See? Micah was right about Bethlehem. Zechariah was right about the donkey. Isaiah was right about the suffering servant. Psalm 22 was right about the details of the crucifixion.” This creates a halo effect - if these prophecies came true, then the whole system is trustworthy. Some “fulfillments” are real stretches from the original context (e.g., Hosea 11:1 “Out of Egypt I called my son” applied to Jesus’ family fleeing - originally about Israel). Others appear to have no clear prior prophecy at all and are completely made up, yet the Gospels still frame events as fulfillment Why do this? Because the goal wasn’t just to tell Jesus’ story. It was to rescue and legitimize Jewish prophecy itself for outsiders. If Jesus checks enough boxes, then skeptics can’t easily write off the OT as failed or made-up. The prophecies are proven reliable and therefore the God who gave them is real and powerful. Claiming Jesus fulfilled the prophecies wasn’t mainly about documenting history - it was about saving the credibility of Jewish prophecy in the eyes of a skeptical Gentile world. And this is Paul’s Ultimate Strategy: “Saving Israel” Through the Gentiles He use the Gentiles to validate and advance Israel’s mission Christianity becomes Judaism for the world: “The prophecies are true. The God of Israel is the only God. Jesus is the proof and the door for you Gentiles.” It doesn’t replace Judaism - it spreads its core claims universally. Paul’s mission wasn’t primarily “start a new religion.” It was a strategic workaround: Get the nations to adopt the Jewish God and prophetic framework, with Jesus as the fulfillment hook By making Jesus the fulfillment (or partial fulfillment) of the prophecies: - It gives Gentiles a compelling reason to worship the Jewish God and accept Jesus as Messiah/Lord: “This ancient tradition was right all along” - It positions Christianity as the vehicle for the OT promises of Gentile inclusion (Isaiah’s “light to the nations,” etc.). This legitimization was essential. Without it, why would a Roman or Greek abandon their gods for a crucified Jewish preacher’s movement? The historical success of Christianity achieved key elements of the Jewish prophetic vision (as later summarized by thinkers like Rambam/Maimonides in his views on the nations coming to recognize the true God): -Destruction of idolatry: Pagan gods of Rome, Greece, northern Europe, etc., were systematically replaced or erased. The old idol worship of the nations largely collapsed wherever Christianity spread. -Spread of the God of Israel and Torah ethics: Gentiles adopted monotheism, the moral framework of the Hebrew Bible (Ten Commandments, etc.), and the idea of a single Creator God. Bibles (containing the Torah and Prophets) went global. -Worldwide recognition: The God of a small, repeatedly crushed people (conquered by Assyria, Babylon, Rome) became the dominant deity of empires. No other gods are seriously recognized in most of the former pagan world. -Gentiles as the carriers: Ironically, it was the Gentile converts, not the Jews themselves, who spread this faith aggressively across the Roman Empire and beyond, fulfilling the “nations streaming to the mountain of the Lord” motif in a way Paul envisioned. The Jews were often persecuted and powerless, yet their God and scriptures triumphed through this vehicle. The historical irony is that the God of a perpetually conquered people ultimately conquered His conquerors - not through military might or political power, but through a story. The God of the slaves and the vanquished won the hearts and minds of the masters

@gen0m1cs where is this guy from anyways?

lmao

@Tom_Rowsell we need to see what the Russians or Chinese are saying about this, just to get an alternative, because we all know, western academia is occupied by a certain type of people who surprisingly don't want to be displaced.

The archaeologists hated the implications because the fact people can be and are regularly replaced by foreigners in their homelands, has obvious relevance today

@DionysianAgent Nothing make sense. There is so much misinformation in here. It is the other way around buddy

once you realize that Alexander was the model for Dionysus in ancient greece then everything will make more sense most stories and plays of Dionysus were based on real life events of Alexander - such as Dionysus' conquest of india being a retelling of Alexander's conquests in india Dionysus was a wine god because Alexander was addicted to wine and known to drink up to 6 liters of wine per day the dionysian frenzy was inspired by Alexander's frenzy and his lightning speed patterns of conquest Alexander's mom was a dionysian priestess that dedicated her son to the god and convinced him after his father's death that he was in fact the son of Zeus Nietzsche's will to power and madness was an infatuation with the Alexandrian/Dionysian spirit Nietzsche's critique of christianity was his realization that it had taken this Alexandrian hyper vital life-affirming spirit and inverted it into a nihilistic spirit of life denial that sought comfort in an afterlife rather than presence in life Hellenism was the seed from which western civilization grew Alexander the great was quite literally Dionysus in the flesh - the demigod of frenzy that birthed the western world do you understand yet?

@The_Hellenist Μεγάλε

The Greeks were the founders of Western civilization, not the Jews. The Jews subverted Europe with Christianity, poisoning the fatherland with slave morality. The Jewish god Yahweh is the god of slave morality. Olympian Zeus will chain him back in Tartarus.

@KnowsPascal @headless_giant God maybe?

@headless_giant What exactly did he lie about?😂

I always find this fascinating. St. Augustine mentions in multiple places that Plato possibly(he ultimately rejects it) studied under the prophet Jeremiah. History is wild.

@KnowsPascal In reality the authors of the OT plagiarized Plato.

Personally I don’t worry about you. You are just another dumb account crying like a woman. Your roots are Greco Roman. Your flag says so. سکندر بگ or Skanderberg says so. Even the name of your country Albania=the white country says so. You are a long lost bastard child who found the opportunity to cry out loud. But hey continue the whining because the greeks deserve it. They became dumber than you. They need dumb people like you. Its their only chance to rise up

Greece was literally built from scratch. And not even by Greeks. 🏛️ Their “independence heroes”? Kolokotronis → Bithguri (Albanian) Miaoulis → Boku (Albanian) Botsaris → Boçari (Albanian) Bubulina → born of Albanian mother Spoke Albanian at home. Albanian surnames. Albanian nicknames. The founders of “ancient Hellas” had Albanian accents. 😂 But wait it gets better. Their first king after “independence”? Otto I. A Bavarian. From Munich. Greece was so Greek that Europe had to import a German to run it. A German king. Albanian generals. And a language that had to be artificially imposed by law because the population wasn’t even speaking Greek properly. That’s right Greek was made mandatory by legislation. Without forced language laws, “Greece” would’ve been speaking Albanian, Slavic and Vlach in the villages and calling it a day. Modern Greek itself? Not even pure. It’s a 19th century academic construction Katharevousa invented by scholars trying to connect a medieval Balkan population to ancient Athens. A manufactured language. For a manufactured nation. Ruled by a foreign king. Founded by Albanians. And THESE are the people telling Turks: “You don’t belong in Anatolia.” Your king was German. 🇩🇪 Your heroes were Albanian. 🦅 Your language was legislated. 📜 Your identity was invented in the 1800s. The most fictional country in the Balkans has the loudest opinion about everyone else’s history. Sit down, Otto. 👑

@thewaronbeauty So you are critical on Rothko yet you admire Twombly? What can i say, Americans the land of the psychos

One of the few contemporary masterpieces. Cy Twombly’s ‘Untitled (Say Goodbye, Catullus, to the Shores of Asia Minor),’ made between 1972-1994
