I mean, it's true. That's a pretty strong reason for Jews to convert. There's no punishment for being wrong if Judaism is right, but there is for being wrong if Christianity is right, so there is no reason for a Jew not to convert to Christianity, logically speaking.

>fractions
>not applying to the real world
Ancient Greek mathematics revolved entirely around the fraction, and so ancient Greece was constructed with the fraction at its core. The Greeks actually refused to admit that irrational numbers existed for the longest fucking time.

When a member of the Pythagorean cult pointed out that the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle with two sides each one unit in length was root 2, and thus inexpressible as a rational number, he was (apparently) stoned to death

No, many things are Christianity to the MODERN MAN, one of those things, of course, being Christianity. I suppose Communism might be of a similar ideological strain, to some people. Or... I was talking with a friend recently and he said that once he had 'extreme Marxist tendencies' or the like, and it had to do with 'hormones' and 'rebellion' when he was a teenager. Of course, not to imply that has much to do with how many or most people alight on Marxism, but I can see some truth in what you mean, if you're talking of early Christianity. I don't think it'd be the 'Modern Man' though; its time has passed, at least for the time being.

In my opinion, CIA could potentially be the most important character in cinema.
The way he delivers his lines, that deep frustration due to his endless job, his desperation due to facing an almost certain death.
You can see pass through his face many different emotions, confidence, insecurity, doubt, fear and anger.
The way he acted, the way HE DIED, are probably the most tragic end to a life ever seen in any movie ever.
Seriously, think about it, he's a government pawn who wanted to do the right thing, and brought in Pavel's friends just to find a menace to the world, and he died because of it.
And in the end, not even the government stopped Bane, the agency he worked for, EVERYTHING, he stood for, was false.
His life was nothing but a bunch of lies that he covered as if he was ''CIA'', he always said ''I'm CIA'' and not ''An agent of the CIA'' because he felt he was part of something bigger, something better.
But it was all a lie, and he died just after learning such truth.
Rest in Peace, Wilson, you will always be remembered, as the main icon of Hollywood.
And god bless Aidan Gillen for his excellent portrayal of it.

I'm a different anon but the big divide with this sort of thing is more down the line of whether you are inside and looking out (so solipsism and things in themselves and all that kind of business) or outside looking in (world as will, philosophy as the product of experience and/or situation). The first tends to take logic as a given on faith and the second treats it more like a periphery

In my case it's not because I don't know how to contribute or that I don't hold strong opinions but because I just don't give a fuck.

Well, the Heraclit saying "All flows" is from Plato's Cratylos, the whole "Nothing stands still, you can't step in the same river twice etc" thing.
The other part seems a slight variation on the whole "relativism defeats itself" argument, if there's no absolute truth, this very statement can't be true, either.

No, level 6 requires a very high degree of sensitivity and experience of beauty, irony and meta-irony. It is a gradual process of mastering the forms until what we know as "irony" vanishes as it synthesizes with sincerity and the original intent behind the statement no longer matters.

It is like the jazz musician who reaches true genius in his improvisation in only short bursts.

But can it be reached it seems to me such a volatile and self contradictory state to go towards. The portrait of level 6 our very DFW is one who found no joy in the end.

I would compare the state to one of the highest states reached in buddhist insight practices, called Phala nana. It is a fragile state that doesn't ever last for more than a few moments.

It may be that DFW's suicide was the ultimate act of this synesthesia of sincerity and irony, a statement of the ultimate futility and hope of existence, sincere in its despair and ironic in its finality, a culmination of his personal philosophy, a modern-day Mishima as both of their deaths were equal parts honest manifests of their personal values, rejections of the sensibilities of their times and redemptions of men who were both ahead and behind of their own time.

You probably have a nihilistic/ammoral worldview, so you don't feel too tethered to your beliefs, or really, you don't hold any genuinely sacred ones that you would never truly violate, and so feel comfortable inserting yourself into the values of others: because you had no true ones to begin with.

That's at least how it is with me, no matter what dressing I give my feelings, I think my subconscious regards them as arbitrary thanks to philosophy.

It can, like many another, fill a gap in his library, where, neatly bound, it is sure to look well. Or he can lay it on the dressing-table or tea-table of his learned lady friend.

tbh /lit/ has the potential for the best humor because the board culture allows for very obscure references with a wide pool of choices

also the juxtaposition of things like "hegelian dialectic" and "therefore ur a fag" in the same sentence never gets old

I'm sorry, as much as I admire DFW's intent, I just can't take anything about how new sincerity has manifested itself seriously. It's basically become a way to justify a surface level interpretations of everything to the point of making a willful misinterpretation. The only thing that is allowed to have some sort of depth to it is some personalized subjective experience, encouraging an asocial egotism.
Irony is a standard aspect of speech and expression, it's a normal way of communicating, but every time I speak with a New Sincerity subscriber, they almost always try to willfully misinterpret any statement with an ironic or exaggerated flourish as literal, thinking that this will make them right and me wrong. Criticism and Theory becomes based around taking things out of context, treating blatantly ironic sexism, for example, as sincere.
New Sincerity builds itself around bold-faced ideological notions like "just be yourself," and primarily serves as a way to mislead people further than irony ever could. Irony allows the subject to exist as just that, a subject, able to distance themselves from the work and exist as some independent agent. New Sincerity offers no such liberty.
