>19 year old reads nietzche
the ol' rite of passage

nietzche and post-modernism is retroactively refuted by Plato all over his dialogues. POMOs are basically sophists, as is nietzche.

>>20770027
Truth

>>20770027
Plato and idealists are retards who assume there are such things as "things in and of itself". Those "things" are a result of functions and relations not of "things in and of itself". God, the uncaused causer, is the primal symptom caused by the disease of thinking platonically.

Plato and Hegel are metamodern. Beyond modernity. Beyond the post-modern.

Plato is a regressed sophism wherein the decadent recognize his philosophy--their lack of power and so-called virtue. This is why they externalize an "ideal". They do not have instinctually capability to lead themselves, hence resort to sophism.

>>20770038
Nominalist metaphysics, retroactively refuted by Plato

>>20770070
No, again, I'm not a Plato fanboy, but Nietzsche is not a real philosopher.

i say let us leave these modern men with their "truths", its them who are going to hell after all

>>20770082
Because philosophy for you must have some sort of system. This is the problem with philosophers which Nietzsche wrote about for retards like you. Philosophers are not just "sophis" but also "philos" with love. You are supposed to be infused with the Dionysian. It must instinctual as well.
However, you are retarded in thinking that all philosophy must be sophism, and idealism.
>Nietzsche is not a systematizer.

>>20770089
If he's not a systematizer his word is not worth a discussion, he is a literary figure.

>>20770075
This is just wrong. Holy shit, you're retarded. Plato definitely believed in a form of nominalist metaphysics.

>>20770089
Nietzche was unironically a representative of the merchant class, didn't understand metaphysics, didn't understand philosophy, and was related to Polish Jews.

>>20770088
You can live the way I preach and still reach the Christian Heaven. You just need to live by the Truth. When you simply strive to be better than Jesus, not out of your own hubris, but purely to be the best possible human according to Virtue and mutual respect, you will still reach Heaven as you're a deeply moral person with a strong and Christian-like ethic.

>>20770016
>The faith in the categories of reason is the cause of nihilism. We have measured the value of the world according to categories that refer to a purely fictitious world. [...] All the values by means of which we have tried so far to render the world estimable for ourselves and which then proved inapplicable and therefore devaluated the world—all these values are, psychologically considered, the results of certain perspectives of utility, designed to maintain and increase human constructs of domination—and they have been falsely projected into the essence of things. What we find here is still the hyperbolic naivete of man: positing himself as the meaning and measure of the value of things. Nihilism represents a pathological transitional stage (what is pathological is the tremendous generalization, the inference that there is no meaning at all): whether the productive forces are not yet strong enough, or whether decadence still hesitates and has not yet invented its remedies. Presupposition of this hypothesis: that there is no truth, that there is no absolute nature of things nor a "thing-in-itself." This, too, is merely nihilism—even the most extreme nihilism. It places the value of things precisely in the lack of any reality corresponding to these values and in their being merely a symptom of strength on the part of the value-positers, a simplification for the sake of life.

I'm not a Jew. At least not culturally. I identify as a Pole first and foremost. You could call me an assimilated Jew. I am for the state of Israel and the dual-state solution insofar as both parties agree to it. I am against the anti-culture of the Capital which Jewish culture has always been a part of and which is starting to destroy even the very itself under the pressure of the antinatalism of modern industrial societies

The ultimate enemy is the Capital, not the Jew. Forget the Culture of Critique and read Marx on the Jewish Question, also Thomas Sowell on middleman minorities

>>20770150
Nietzche wasn't a genius for pointing out nominalism is nihilism, plenty of people had been doing that.

Problem is, Nietzche didn't know what nominalism was and was a nominalist himself. Hence his inability to understand the Greek notion of "nature"

not me. I eschew the Capital and only in total eschewing of the Capital I managed to understand the modern world, in essence, I managed to get through to the Reality beneath the hyper-reality created by late capitalism. It was a titanic effort on my side to achieve by the age of 20, just in time to become the intellectual voice of this generation, and I also eschew the label Generation Z as its wholly created by the Capital's agents (marketers) whose very job is the pacification and commodification of rebellion, starting from the very bottom i.e. language

Idk, if you speak in cultural terms, I guess you're right. I thought you were an antisemite in denial. (You don't have to speak yiddish, go to israel or follow judaism just because you were born an ethnic jew)

>>20770176
It is an abstract hyper-entity that is only as malignant as the shared Ignorance of people participating in the system is strong. This fundamental Ignorance breeds chaos which then is exploited by malignant forces so various it is impossible to characterize them in one word without resolving to christcuckery or any other form of organized-religious cuckery

And it is in fact impossible to resolve it so simply, the malignant forces are as various as Humanity (and its free will's capability of acting Evil) is. Jews are a good scapegoat always because they are the most straightforward representatives of the forces of the Capital, but Jewish culture should merely be understood as one of many carriers of the Capital, not the leading one, just the most successful one from a purely ethnic standpoint, which is nevertheless a moot point because the Jews, even if they control a sizable portion of things, do not control even the half of things. Non-Jews do. Non-Jewish slaves of the Capital do. The little people who are slaves of the Capital contribute, too

As much a sect as Plato's Academy was. More of a university and foundation, really. At least that's my goal. The only appropriate idols for Western people are Socrates and Plato. Everyone else was either a false prophet or like Socrates/Plato but not for Western people from the start so you should stop LARPing

>>20770236
>I'm an anti-vaxxer myself.
Let me elucidate before this gets taken out of context: I'm anti-experimental-vaxxer.

I'm not against vaccines proven by science to be safe and effective. I am not anti-science. I am anti-state-rushing-things. That should always light a red bulb in your head: whenever someone, anyone, tries to rush things. You shouldn't begin from suspicion, just skepticism of the superficially visible motivations

>>20770248
>COINTELPRO is against the 60s revolution.
COINTELPRO is about deep infiltration and subversion that began in 1956 already. At the height of Cold War paranoia. US Government, which has always represented the Capital (the only time it didn't was in 1776 the year the project was born as the freemasonic ideal of personal liberation), went kinda nutty and schizo from all the paranoia and the existential threat that the USSR fundamentally posed. so capitalism kinda unleashed the Devil.

my main guidance: the enemy is the Capital, the Capital centers on Washington, D.C., always treat the CIA with deep but calm suspicion (knowing who the ultimate handlers are/what the ultimate handler is), and finally:

to save the world try to subvert D.C. and the CIA from the hands of the Capital. fight Wall Street and the City. that's where the fucking Devil lies and he steers it all regardless if it's America, China or even Russia

Fun fact: Bob Dylan is Initiated. He loves to hint at Them:
https://youtu.be/m_wAZ02JUtM
he is considered: an artist, a provocateur, a mere troll.
I think he's a mystic. like PKD.
sorry if I went too off the deep end here but basically who (what) Dylan is referring to here is the Capital. he's still "doing it" because he sold his soul to the Capital. I realized he is Initiated in truly Pneumatic terms when I found his song "I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine" it's when I realized it wasn't just a one-off joke about a pact with the devil, he truly considers to have lost (sold) his soul as he matured from a child (and then rebellious adolescent and young adult) into an adult.

he's not a troll, he's simply the ultimate modern artist, the modern Faust (all artists who are as Initiated and conscious as he is are, others are just unconsciously swindled by the Capital)
for more "initiative" material I recommend this very eye-opening and quite esoteric document by Barely Sociable on "The Music Industry's Darkest Secret." it's actually very well-grounded and not nutty at all
https://youtu.be/Z_y_zeql7pc
it's chilling when you truly realize. artists are whores. sure, that's a banal realization. but artists as the whores of "THE DEVIL?" that's a chilling realization

As a true artist: always fight the Devil. Always fight the Capital

the struggle with obscure writing is purely (and purily) a midwit one. continental philosophy's obscure language has its value: it filters. philosophers shouldn't engage in matters of proselytizing and populism, they should address the intelligent people in power first and foremost, with the people only ever coming second

most people don't give a fuck about philosophy, nigger. anselm is easy enough to understand, how many people have you caught reading him at random? if anything, there's probably more people reading unintelligible garbage because they're elitists and want to look like they're smart than there are people genuinely engaging with clearly written philosophy from the scholastic period
there are more niggermutts today that have finished the phenomenology of spirit than there are people that have read cur deus hom despite the latter being much shorter and much easier to digest

>>20770359
>brevity is truth
ultimate brevity is banality. which is true, but doesn't say much about *the Truth* itself, which as a concept would need elaborating extremely deeply. this may not involve cryptic prose but it would be a long and quite difficult text (necessitating some basic philosophical knowledge) most certainly

Rick Roderick's 7-hour long cycle of 8 lectures titled "the Self under Siege: Philosophy in the 20th century" which starts from the 3 masters of suspicion (Marx, Nietzsche, Freud) and ends on Baudrillard is I would say the peak of philosophical education in simple terms, but it's still not something I think a midwit would truly grasp, and it's 7-hours long total, with a lecture of each philosopher's philosophy summarized in a really surprisingly accessible yet surprisingly true manner, over the course of almost an hour

so if you're struggling with these things yet are not a midwit and an intellectual, I recommend: https://youtu.be/4wetwETy4u0

yes, until you added Greeks instead of Romans by mistake. You're forgiven though.

>The ultimate redpill lies in realizing that Christianity is just reactionism,
More of a placebo, to be honest. It diagnoses the symptoms but provides no treatment.

>Jesus is revered only because he (if he existed at all) was a classical philosopher in the vein of Plato long after classical philosophy had died and things like Truth and Virtue and living by what you preach stopped mattering all that much, and never in the history of humanity ever really did except for the Classical period of Ancient Greece
Partly - mostly - true.

Although Jesus, taken a specific redeemer or social reformer for the Jewish people and their strange ideas (monotheism, child mutilation, theological-racial supremacism), is the correct view.

>Plato and Socrates had fundamental intellectual humility, Jesus did not. Jesus was not sinless. Jesus committed the sin of Pride. He could never represent Humanity and be a role model because of his intellectual hubris that ultimately leads to fascism, whether brown or red.
I'd argue Jesus is like a Socrates to us; that is: he seems foolishly telling us nothing we didn't already know and trying to play the guru (see: contemporary view of Socrates amongst his own people via Aristophanes). But 'we' only have this impression of Jesus when he's taken outside of his context as a reformer 'for' Jews and Jews alone.

>Christianity is just reactionism, although the most virtuous and most constructive reactionism of all.
Demonstrably false. Sparing you a long essay of the conflation of actual virtue and actual vice with barbarian nonsense religious commandments (some of which are entirely viceful), it's moreso that Socrates had nothing to say about the things that Galen was talking about; as one is a practical-minded person with skill in a useful art and craft and the other is a wandering wouldbe guru, impressing children and the unlearned.

>>20771744
>he's a total self-righteous guru. Socrates was nothing like that, he was a skeptic first and foremost
Socrates via Aristophanes, I said. Where Socrates is sitting in a tree and speaking nonsense to impress very small children and the unlearned.

How much of that is true in the first place is, I suppose, debatable but it's the same sort of thing; it's like showing me the 10 Hebrew Commandments and acting like "i" don't understand good conduct for obeying a far more detailed and nuanced list of Laws which cover and far exceed those 10,
i.e. "telling (us) nothing we didn't already know and making out like it's amazing and profound wisdom (when it's demonstrably inferior)."

The ultimate redpill is realizing that Christianity was the only religion that could bring about Faustian civilization. It was the synthetical result of the conflict between the Magian Jacobian-Petrine branch (Exemplified in Matthew and Mark), and the Apollonian Pauline-Johannine branch (exemplified in Luke and John). Only through this synthesis could Faustian civilization take shape.

that's Spengler's reactionism if that's his thesis, I wouldn't know, I always had better things to read than his drivel (some concepts are interesting though)

Christianity was only adopted by the barbarians as a way of integrating into Roman/post-Roman society as barbarians. everything else after that is cope. the "faustian" spirit is simply a result of high population density and precariousness of post-roman europe which boosts cooperation and creativity

>>20771785
>trying to equate Socrates to Jesus won't work. sorry. we know what Socrates philosophy was. we know what Jesus teachings were. two different people

Legit retard.

>>20771801
when you call Socrates a guru because he was parodied in a comedy or not too accurately portrayed in another biography that's your issue. i'm talking about the consensus view of Socrates. that's the thing with philosophy in contrast to theology, it's free from bias because Philosophy's aim is intellectual rigor through which one can attain sophia, and that requires reading oneself of logical fallacies and a more emotionless approach

>>20771785
>we know what Socrates philosophy was.
In fact.. we don't. We have Platos dialogues which are largely absent of all Socrates charges and any real mention of him as being responsible for Alcibiades (this surviving and being taken as The Gospel on philosophy in Christian times - after Christians had destroyed the libraries and decided to kill learned persons), on one hand, then we have Aristophanes contemporary account of Socrates as a goofy charlatan.

When we read Socrates through Plato we notice the conspicuous absence of anything real or substantial in anything he says, compared to Galen or Archimedes for instance, and we notice a hero worship around him in spite of any real-world accomplishment.

Jesus and Socrates, then, have more in common.

>i'm talking about the consensus view of Socrates. that's the thing with philosophy in contrast to theology, it's free from bias because Philosophy's aim is intellectual rigor through which one can attain sophia, and that requires reading oneself of logical fallacies and a more emotionless approach
Oh, I agree with this, I mentioned in that first reply how Jesus is useless to anybody who isn't already a Jew lol

But my point (see: above) is that there's really no substance going on with Socrates either. Other than the really threadbare connection of the monad from Plato to Socrates, which Plotinus refutes anyway, but which later Christians held up as somehow confirming their whacky-races ideology of real-world not mattering, immortality after death, etc. Socrates seems to have been held up primarily because he was martyred by the pagans, and so his corpse could be made to provide parallel to Jesus. Or something like this. I have no idea why, to be honest, but you'll find Catholics masturbating all day long about how Plato was so wise and how poor Socrates was persecuted for being a good person. ask them about it. i think they're just appealing to the unlearned also, myself.

and this is how religion causes people to be evil and stupid; to be forced to adopt an abusive stance against reason and logic in order to verbally dismiss the rationality of valid inquiry into a nonsensical thing which is demonstrated to be nonsensical.

Socrates-worship is just a symptom of declining knowledge of Plato’s works. All of the ancients went around praising ‘Divine Plato’ not ‘Divine Socrates’, but Plato never appears in his own works, causing the unlearned to go on about Socrates instead of Plato. But who cares what they think?

I don’t begrudge anyone there faith, even if my theological disagreements with Christianity are too many for me to become a believer. If you are curious the primary disagreement I have, is that the concept of Hell or eternal uncreation is inconsistent with what I believe to be true, that ‘God is never the enemy of man’. However, I think that regardless of who is correct, if we both pray for the improvement of ourselves and others we shall then, if Necessity permits, be led towards the Good.

Wrong. Your completely ahistorical argument fails. The role of Jesus within Israel as the 'Suffering Servant' prophesied by Isaiah (died circa 7th century bce), and bringer of the 'new covenant' (aka 'new testament') prophesied by Jeremiah (died circa 570 bce), was established centuries before the advent of the Roman Empire, and Rome's conquering of Judea (63 bce).

Even if you doubt the prophecies, you cannot dispute that the meaning and logic of those prophecies was the source of Jesus's claims within the Jerusalem community, and they were likewise the source of his recognition as the long-prophesied Jewish Messiah. The Roman Empire was just a sideshow in all this.

I swear I've read this exact post before, a couple weeks ago.
Western civ doesn't exist, just Rome - and Rome doesn't exist. Rome is in sheeps clothing (where to hide where no one will find you, but in the body of a crucified man?) passed down through centuries in secret. Rome's greatest trick was making us think that Rome is gladiators and red robes, and not a thousand years, or more, of syncretic coagulation - for the sake of technique. Why else would their symbol be a man *nailed* to the cross? They justify it through paganism - God commanded it. It's no different today.
If you own animals, you know that you can forget to feed them, and you can also in a bout of pity give them more than normal - regardless, every time they encounter food, they gobble it up. Say - how do you think the Gods feed us?
What's the REAL difference between christanity and paganism - preparation aesthetics. How do you wish to slice the beast? Doesn't matter - same blood, same people = same spirit.
The black iron prison isn't just Roman persecution of the Church fathers - it's the entire scheme - both mediterranean paganism and the worship of the cadaver converge into a single point that could squeeze through the asshole of time like a shit tranfusion to populate the gut biome of the future - both depend on a holy other. Nazi germany was played like a fiddle by the Gods when the exact same scenario repeated itself - ironclad death adders vs skeletons with skin. Who would win? We use bait, nets, spears or hands to catch fish. Has there not been something in the past few hundred years that felt it was being 'lifted up' through history?...
See, kaczynski is ALSO wrong - technology is the enemy, precisely because this WHOLE TIME, the Gods themselves have been incarnate in the creaking of steel and the hum of electricity, and have truly tricked us into thinking that they are at most just a product of manifestation and synchronicity. Every thunderous war isn't preceeded by turmoil but by a 'return to spirituality' - war doesn't happen against said spirituality, but in it's name. Every war is stained with the broken waters of an astral mother giving birth to a new archon. It's motivated reasoning on ones behalf to deny that the internet, alongside all technology, has only facilitated the creation of a far more mysterious world than that of antiquity - where we in a single 'recognition' see that jokes are both funny and threatening. Every reading of a philosopher that isn't noticing how they all fight for their own identity in a world ever more bleached (it's not that technology is artificial, but that because artifice uses technology as it's white 'ghost sheet') is to give ones own identity to Rome - not to civlization - but to the machine. It's man vs the entire universe or nothing at all.

I read the Bible as a very intricate metaphor where Jesus isn't even proclaiming a religion but a philosophy. So the opposite of literalness. My conclusion is that Christianity is just deified philosophy, of Jesus the grifter, formulated by Saul turning into Paul the grifter, and it being just classical philosophy with religious elements hamfisted into it, based on an intricate system of cope that links it together with the Judaist tradition to boot

christianity sucks. anyone whose goal is to be authentic has to end up by dropping christianity and Nietzsche was obviously right. hence post-modernism (whose father is obviously Nietzsche). hence my post: post-modernism is the Western civilization realizing christianity is the false protagonist of thought and value, the real protagonist being Ancient Greece. before Nietzsche the dominant view centered on Christianity with ancient Greece being thought of as merely a useful supplement and one pagan predecessor among many. wrong. it is the origin and Christianity is completely redundant

but I dont think it should be discarded. politically, world religions should be bolstered in fact, theyre a useful opium for the masses and Marx was wrong in discarding it

>>20772461
the fact that only you consider Jesus to fulfill these prophecies and the believers of the faith which actually produced these prophecies don't consider Jesus to be anything than a false prophet at all, kind of disproves christianity. you're believing in an offshoot sect with no legitimacy.

my post already acknowledges this banal reality and focuses more on the emotional-historical reason behind christianity. hellenized judaism. the bottomline is that it has 0 legitimacy

>>20774875
>>assumes Jesus was a philosopher in the style of Classical Greece
that's not what I said. I said that classical philosophy had long been dead by then and people yearned for moral guidance and proper spiritual debate, hence the trillions of sects in Judea, which were all led by snake-oil salesmen and grifters whose worldviews were just cannibalized earlier legitimate religions and philosophies, kind of like Theosophy. 0 spiritual value.

Jesus was a smart cult leader and he was basically a philosopher gone wrong is what my point is. he wasn't merely a philosopher, perhaps on the inside he was, but on the outside he was someone who utilized intelligence to deify himself, fool people and make them follow him. at the very least he was a narcissist who did not care for Sophia

How did I predict that you would devolve in greater vice to defend your religion? Ask yourself how I knew this and how you were unable to do anything but this.

>the virtues espoused in the Bible and Catholic thought
the virtues are 1) pre-christian, 2) not jewish and 3) are impossible to be reconciled as tese religions are forced to conflate the actual Virtues and actual Vices with deformed Jewish Nonsense, undermining any sense of reason on the subject, where virtue is to stone your child for calling you a drunkard, and where vice is to not cut his penis apart, etc. This is obviously why, (one aspect of the thing anyway) I suggest, this religion cannot and has not ever been able to teach virtue or teach against vice - you cannot explain the benefits of virtue if you're forced to do theatrics to include barbarian theocratic genital mutilation ethos at the heart of 'what' virtue even is, let alone explain how, e.g. religious extremists in the modern world are insane persons operating from total vice.

I already mentioned the faggots and child-abusers (lowest of the low) who were the first western christians that Paul was talking to and convinced to follow him with his doctrine of "it is impossible to be good", and so on..

Historically, we know there was a first century Christian movement, and the New Testament, most or all of which was written in the first century, tells us what the motivating ideas and beliefs of that movement were.

Quite simply, the hypothesis posted in the OP had nothing to do with it. It is an utterly ahistorical hypothesis.

>the fact that only you consider Jesus to fulfill these prophecies

Only me? It is obvious that the entire first century Christian movement believed the prophecies, and believe that Jesus was their fulfillment.

That is why I say it's irrelevant whether you think the prophecies themselves, or their fulfillment, are true, as such. Presumably, you believe neither the prophecies themselves, nor their claimed fulfillment of them in Christ. But it is not a question of *your* belief. It is a question of what the first-century Christians believed.

Again, the New Testament amply documents that driving force of the first-century Christian movement was the belief that the Hebrew prophecies in Isaiah and Jeremiah (among other prophecies) were true, and that Christ was the fulfillment of those prophecies.

Thus, it is not a question of emotion or faith -- whether mine, or your lack thereof. It's a question of looking at the historical facts -- the New Testament texts that document the ideas and beliefs that drove the growth of Christianity in the first century.

There is zero basis in history to conclude that "Christianity is just reactionism," a theory which you posit entirely without proof. Understandably, since all the evidence flies in the face of your theory.

>>20777215

>>20777215
Well if you did mean to reply to me, my point was that Jesus has nothing for anybody unless they're a Jew and need saving from evil crazy delusions about 'god' demanding genital mutilation, and being evil and stupid and these sorts of things.

if you reject this, where Jesus claims to uphold Jewish Law and comes "only for the lost sheep of israel" then you're following Paul, which is a misanthropic sort of Jewish reactionism to the realization that "(with an evil god) it is impossible to be good", coupled with a refusal to give up on the heathen delusions altogether.

I don't know if this will be read because it's such a long thread, but civilization isn't mostly or mainly about philosophy and metaphysics.
Many aspects of western civilization, you have internalized them so much, you don't realize they come from Christianity.

The Christian west forbid sodomy, homosexuality and pederasty, Classical Greece and the Hellenistic east were fine with that.
The Christian west also forced westerners on a very extreme path with regards to family relations, it forbid polygamy (even if polygamy is elite behaviour, nations in which rulers have harems had very different political histories), it also forbid cousin marriage (this is very unusual, Muslims ideally marry their cousins, the daughter of their uncle, Jews are fine with cousin marriage, even niece marriage, and Hindus marry within their caste to a relative) this very arbitrary prohibition of the Catholic Church radically shaped western civilization, Cousin marriage was obviously perfectly acceptable in the ancient mediterranean, and among Greeks of Alexandria even brother sister marriages were very common
https://www.jstor.org/stable/2804054

forbidding cousin marriage was an attack on the extended family, tribes/clans, a society without clans or extended families, needs stronger, independent institutions, because people are on their own and can't rely on their network of relatives to solve their problems. There are exceptions, like Sicily and their Mafia, but Sicily is exceptional because they were under eastern Greek and Muslim rule for centuries, they were less exposed to traditional western family planning.
The catholic prohibition of divorce was also very radical, most other humans on the planet could repudiate their wives. Westerners couldn't (The king of England had to go into Schism to be able to do it)

So, seeing Christianity as irrelevant in the shaping of western european civilization is a very silly reductionism. And I only mentioned one aspect of that change. There are more.

>>20770070
Plato was likely reactionary to the Sophists themselves, his uncle having been Critias who was essentially Greek Hitler. I wish I knew more of actual sophists teachings but people like Critias were so reviled that their writings have almost disappeared entirely.

>>20778014
You misunderstand how Greeks were fine with homosexuality. Being the receiver in Athens meant you could not speak in forum or hold leadership positions. The Hellenistic societies celebrated masculinity and domination. A weak effeminate man was still highly ostracized in their society. Most of us would be. Bottoms and transexuals were mostly in positions of subservience but occasionally given oracular positions.

>>20778034
Bottoms would simply usually grow up to be tops in Ancient Greece. Hence pederasty and the mentorship aspect of it. It was a weird social system for sure, but it wasn't incoherent with their values
>>20778014
>civilization isn't mostly or mainly about philosophy and metaphysics.
retroactively refuted by Hegel (PBUH) and in fact Plato (PBUH) before him

>>20778018
Sophists were reviled by philosophers but not by the population. Much in the same way how capitalism is reviled by philosophers but not by the population. Food for thought.
Also:
"sophist" - a fee-taking "wise-r"
philosopher - someone who loves wisdom and takes no money for it

the ultimate redpill:
sophism is the "philosophy" of the Capital

>>20778034

that's irrelevant, it was completely socially unacceptable once christianity took power

Christianity was very different from the Greco Roman world in other aspects too. Greek philosophers were mostly interested in the differences between men, like Plato's theory of the soul, Christianity on the other hand was more interested in the equality of men.

>>20778079
>Christianity was very different from the Greco Roman world in other aspects too.
Christianity is Hellenized Judaism. Treat it as that and nothing more.

>>20778079
In Athens it was punishable by death to butttfuck a free man's son. Then, if a free man's son was buttfucked he could never hold office. The way pederasty worked for Greek aristocracy was more like the creten thigh fucking ritual. It was understood that being penetrated was not for powerful men, especially since in the ancient world an anal fissure was lethal. Christianity was not an original sin that made homosexuality taboo. It is always expressed in a taboo way, and even in our near future, if you eliminated all abrahamic faiths like Judaism, Islam, and Christianity, the world would still have a taboo essence to that. The Germanics themselves had no Christianity and put homosexuals to death and even had to duel to the death if it was implied they were homosexual.

Just out of interest has anybody figured out where monogamy came from in the West?

It's not advocated in the bauble, it wasn't practiced by the OT prophets (jesus as celibate or we'd have examples of many wives i'm sure), it wasn't practiced by the Romans before christianity (concubines, etc.) or seemingly any of the barbarians anywhere else.

>"sophist" - a fee-taking "wise-r"
>philosopher - someone who loves wisdom and takes no money for it
This is not correct.

I try to avoid using the word 'sophistry' when I'm talking false-speech, false-rhetoric, deceptive fallacy, etc. But there's no real difference between this example of a philosopher and this example of a sophist; maybe rhetorician is more applicable to a sophist, but then it's hard to qualify philosophy as a something difference philo sophos (love of sophisty) with regular sophos (sophistry), you know?

Or higher sophistry, for that matter, as hagia sophia.

>everyone knows about Sau- err Paul as the creator of cucktianity
Everybody except the crustaceans apparently. If I was a christian and someone told me these things I'd be concerned because I'd want to know what God actually wanted; when a christian learns ad doe not care about Pauls
140 contradictions of Jesus it proves that they don't really believe in God at all.

Oh I missed this reply the other day,

> But who cares what they think?
> causing the unlearned to go on about Socrates instead of Plato

They'e like a trinity though, to the later Christian, this is how they consider the thing and the names of these two people especially have given themselves ... as if it were like "to be reasonable, to inquire about a thing, to engage in civil conversation" is tied to Plato and Socrates - which is insane.

The terms, quite in error, are:

Socratic Method : when a person asks questions, when a speaker asks questions to prompt a response

Platonic (Platonically*) : for men to discuss things

Now these are 'late late' Christian ideas or conflations of those men but they do show us where the error is on their part and why they refuse to admit that better and wiser men existed other than Plato, Socrates, Aristotle.

It's almost like a point of ethos (regional local opinion; culture) in the west to bring up these names; name-dropping to sound intelligent.

>but who cares
A doctor.

>All of the ancients went around praising ‘Divine Plato’
Did they though? I mean, from a Roman perspective interested in law, jurisprudence, practical rhetoric and extrapolative and predictive logic, one finds actually nothing in the works of Plato on these subjects at all. Very little anyway; one could read his dialogue 'plays' and get to jurisprudence or rhetoric third hand, but more focused works existed, and one could use the bible in that same manner (e.g. we have different conflicting accounts, let's add up what is constant throughout them all and throw away what isn't, and you're left with a basic account of events).
