What did Aquinas the fat resenting incel mean by this?

>>22246070
No.

He was fat. Aka a glutton. Aka a sinner.

Yeah like G.K. Chesterton lmao. I'll disregard another fat fuck from now on.

I'm a universalist (spent 72 hours explaining why in the DBH thread so I'm not gonna do it again).
I have always found his stance on Hell very strange.
doesn't change the fact that Aquinas is a very interesting thinker who absolutely mogs any modern (not that this is very hard to accomplish) and could also physically wipe the floor with them.

I could outgrapple that fat fuck no problem

It doesn't take long to explain if you know what you're talking about any not just talking. Universal salvation is not heretical or anathema to sacred tradition, it is merely the recognition that God always gets what He wants and that there is no time in eternity, even if infidels do get a taste of it upon death.

he would get you in a stranglehold and slowly but surely choke you out, which, incidentally, is exactly what he would do intellectually to most of /lit/'s favourite "philosophers"

All that mass just to uselessly be pushed to being a pious cuck, a complete waste of it.

>>22246550
I agree, but apologetics unfortunately take more time (and more ink) than putting it elegantly or discussing it with people who already know.
see the arguments I had to reply to (for instance the "bittaker" (ctrl+f) defense to universalim and insubstatiality of evil)
you can't stand idly by when you read things this wrongheaded. but they are so wrongheaded that you have to rebuild everything from the ground up basically.

"He does not, like the Platonic Socrates, set out to follow wherever the argument may lead. He is not engaged in an inquiry, the result of which it is impossible to know in advance. Before he begins to philosophize, he already knows the truth; it is declared in the Catholic faith. If he can find apparently rational arguments for some parts of the faith, so much the better; if he cannot, he need only fall back on revelation. The finding of arguments for a conclusion given in advance is not philosophy, but special pleading. I cannot, therefore, feel that he deserves to be put on a level with the best philosophers either of Greece or of modern times."

just reiterate your explanation of Daniel 12:2, if you may.

>>22247192
didn't say I was a christian universalist though
I don't care about jewish folklore

>>22247171
Damn I got schooled, I had no idea whoever wrote this felt this way

>>22246070
Yes, because the core of Christianity revolves around being prideful and vain, and not meek and humble like skinny Jesus. When Christians try this alpha male “based!” attitude they sound retarded and are compensating for being dyels who can’t bench 1pl8. Christcucks btfo, your religion is fading away and being replaced by the Ubermensch.

So doesn't this mean he's engaging in metaphysics and not philosophy...

Daily reminder that at the end of his life he had a mystical experience and realized all his works were straw that don't touch divine truth, beauty and love, and he said as much, he said all his works were straw and he wrote no more.
If you want to be a real fan of his you have to understand he's an ironic character set before us, an extremely intelligent, rational, systematic man trying to pin down divine reality and morals. And he failed, completely.
Also he supported prostitution.

>>22246148
The entire reason lookism is so popular is inherent in the underlying homosexuality of its believers. What kind of man judges another man by his looks? Is he sizing him up for sexual intercourse? And another thing, women by and large make bad choices in regards to partners, evidently, women select for tall height (the body must pump blood to the heart twice as fast in regards to body size) and risk-intensiveness (more likely to get in car accidents or get murdered). In short women are effectively shortening the lifespan of men. For us to live long, women must not have a choice to begin with.

>While Thomas was celebrating Mass, he experienced an unusually long ecstasy.[66] Because of what he saw, he abandoned his routine and refused to dictate to his socius Reginald of Piperno. When Reginald begged him to get back to work, Thomas replied: "Reginald, I cannot, because all that I have written seems like straw to me"[67]
Why should I read this nigga's work when he himself repudiated it as pointless?

>>22246070
Most philosophers were actually just pedophiles trying to figure out ways to fuck kids. In the end, philosophers are the most evil, twisted, psychopathic, kiddie diddlists.

>>22248198
>>22248234
of course philosophy pales in comparison to direct contemplation of the divine
doesn't mean it's worthless lmao
I know this and I've never had a mystical experience
No one denies that language is essentially unable to capture the divine essence or the mystery of creation, I'm sure Thomas was well aware of this when he was writing (in fact he wrote so, on numerous occasions)

>>22248262
He realizes it, but I know people irl, and see them online (tradcaths) who use this kind of systemic metaphysics so trustingly. Or they'll be some moral question and they'll look straight at me and act like the answer is as simple as 1 + 1 = 2, because they have these kind of Thomist understandings. So I don't really appreciate him that much and I like mystics and existentialists better.

I'm the exact same kek

they forget that metaphysical and theological language is a sort of cue for inducing knowledge/sight of realities that are for the better part beyond language. these are things we can only ever hope to circle again and again, but through a miracle of apophatic and analogical phrasing, sometimes we get like a good angle and we have a sense of what it is we are talking about. thomist larpers (internet thomists) get fixated on doing le ebin syllogism thing. they actually have that same "facts and logic" asperger larp as atheists. they have been memed by the times, and have effectively separated wonder, beauty, and goodness, from truth.

that's one of the reasons I like Hart, he doesn't fall for that shit.

I still like Aquinas though, because he's not irritating like that. Plus the man has actual talent. as I said he acknowledged all that.

>>22248468
so you are just a hardstuck midwit shitposting to compensate for your lack of motivation to go deeper, got it

>>22248506
wrong post I'm afraid

>>22246079
Evil is the privation of good.
The highest good has to be aware of the possibility of its own privation.

>Before he begins to philosophize, he already knows the truth

All philosophers after Descartes do this by assuming that human reason alone is capable of providing man with knowledge. Kant tried to put an end to this reification of rationalism by placing hard limits on it, but subsequent German Idealists spent all of their energies finding increasingly elaborate ways for them to keep doing it.

>mystics and existentialists better.
In other words, you enjoy LARPing as someone who is too smart to be able to formulate a coherent statement.

>>22248468
just take LSD and you'll see "philosophy" as the autistic pedantry that Thomas came to see it as, except for the handful of insights that, by then, feel like they state the obvious, but at least they do that neatly (Jakob Böhme, Hegel...)

t. Thomist midwit

High Mesomorphic somatotonics are generally very fervent and easily lead into blind worship of their ideals. I'll take an ectomorphic cerebrotonic ascetic with genuine insight over a pushy thug like Aquinas anyday

>>22246162
What theologians do you like? Bulgakov?

>>22246070
He also terrified the whore his brothers purchased for him (if he fucked hookers, they reasoned, he'd give up his dream of being a Dominican) by grabbing a burning log from the fireplace and chasing her with it. She ran screaming from the room, then he inscribed a giant cross on the door with said burning, charred log, threw it back in the fireplace, and sat his giant ass back in the chair to read.

Thomas was a funny dude.

Nah man, he was fat. And he was also timid and quiet. He was the medieval equivalent of a fat sperg neet, deal with it.
