/lit/ - Literature

The mere presence of a woman next to something I love fills me with dread. It's like I've just arrived on the scene of a horrible tragedy. I don't even assume they're about to ruin the thing I love, I assume they're in the middle of ruining it or have just finished ruining it. Women are so efficient at ruining things, you can never get there early enough to eject them and prevent it. It's always too late.

What did philosophy mean by this?

American and British women have always “studied philosophy”. They use it to broadcast to the world that they’re “smart” and “cultured”.

>>15176956
A better question is when did philosophy stop being mainstream?

Shakira is autistic. She's always been into stuff like this. She works with James Heckman (Nobel laureate) on education stuff.

She's from a shithole land (Latin America), and she's their most famous person. Doing stuff like this actually moves the needle on how people act.

They will never penetrate the core of ancient philosophy or even so much as understand it in the slightest bit. The ancients took pains to make their thoughts woman-proof, and all the women who try to delve into them will merely stop at the surface or be puzzled by a vision of the world that is incomprehensible to their mind founded on hedonism and and attention whoring. The intelligible world is a realm only men can reach with their minds because they're the only beings which are capable of eschewing the evils of the material world.

Jove Chronides created women to punish men and make them feel the throes of marriage. It's only natural that they weren't conceived with a higher goal in his mind.

Look into the hindus and buhdists, they knew this to be true. a women could never ascend, at best they may become a man in their next life and then ascend. Even in the Semitic truths women is but a rib.

>>15177287
As someone whose native language is Dutch, I always found it fascinating how in English you guys change names while we tend to retain the Greek/Latin name. Aristoteles -> Aristotle, Marcus Antonius -> Mark Anthony, etc. So the spics are not alone in doing it. I've always found Jacobus -> James very interesting too.

>>15177901
I think everyone does that, the French call him Aristote.

>>15177901
That really only happens when we have a tradition of calling people in an anglicized manor due to some level of import where they were invoked often, or if there is a direct English equivolent (louis>louis)

I mean , we still call circero cicero, instead of Circk or something.

bro Plato's teacher was a woman, the whole history of Western philosophy is just woman's work

Considering all the free time people have now, I do hope it becomes mainstream.

Good for her, too. Hopefully she releases a new disc as good as her first ones.

Also I find it endearing that one of the most famous women in the world has to apologize (!) for studying something

>>15177049
You don't care for philosophy if someone else reading it makes you angry

his little greektoid mind would have been fried by the sheer spectacle he was witnessing.
Aristotle would probably say it is too much spectacle but I see him as a football guy so I think he would enjoy the game itself.

Was her favorite dialogue symposium? I bet it was symposium. Does she want to fuck young boys now?

Good on her for finding time to chase knowledge. Hopefully she teaches her kids.

>I don’t see what sort of help woman was created to provide man with, if one excludes procreation. If woman is not given to man for help in bearing children, for what help could she be? To till the earth together? If help were needed for that, man would have been a better help for man. The same goes for comfort in solitude. How much more pleasure is it for life and conversation when two friends live together than when a man and a woman cohabitate?
