I hold presuppositinal axioms of the philosophy of Marxism to be true.

But, I do not self identify as a Marxist. So, you may not hate label me as such, bigoted anti-Marxist white Male.

My pronouns are; "not a marxist", "definitely not a marxist", and "Slavoj Zizek"

The fact that so many people in these threads think that what Peterson has done; crafted a psychology course so easy to follow and understand that even brainlet retards like the ones flooding these threads can understand, when the course is based around jungian psychoanalysis (which is insanely complex and deep, entire organizations exist to transcribe and articulate his work) is a testament to his scholarly excellence.

If the realization that you are the universe experiencing itself isn't in a t way revolutionary to your conditional comprehension of reality, and as a concept its relationship to metaphysics, then you haven't understood it as anything more than a metaphor for something unconscious you haven't come into contact with psychologically.

Can a lesser man be held to the higher standard of the stronger spirit? Can the perfect man be holy in his greatness without integrating an intrinsic evil?

Are no men higher than others? Greater? More Sanctimonious? Perhaps.

But there are many men who abide a morality which bears the weigh of much more than the lesser man's spirit.

Can a lesser man be held to the higher standard? Can the perfect man be so without evil?

Are no men higher than others? Greater? More Sanctimonious? Perhaps. But there are many men who abide a morality which lifts up more than the lesser man's spirit.

>never really engaged with philosophy
>think plato is impenetrable old obscurantism
>pick up a relatively modern translation
>reasonable language used to explain reasonable ideas in a way that is anything but obscurantist
>actually enjoyable to read
Plato is fucking great.

The intellective soul does not descend from the outer Zodiac into the child until around age two. You notice they suddenly acquire the language skills to say a sentence rather than mere words, argumentation logic, chains of questions, "why?" etc.

Genealogy of Morals is a little bit more straightforward and he lays out his ideas more comprehensively. Still lots of mocking but that's the best part

whats the big fucking problem with our Verstandbegriffe (kategorien/categories) correlating exactly to the categories which make up the world; as in perhaps by God as augustinus believed bestowed in all things and in us to understand. (does he simply not like the answers that might be drawn from this?)
Why is it necessary that these categories are selbstgedacht (self-thought /taught?); wouldnt that leave up the question as to how the categories were possible to have been thought off by our Verstand (understanding, idk how it is translated)?
I haven't gotten further than the Analytic of Terms(?)/ die Analytik der Begriffe, so I don't really doubt that Kant won't at some point elaborate on this further than one page of quickly mentioning this, to refute the sceptics.

I also find it impossible to question what he says, whcih leaves me with incredible doubt because even if this is the greatest work of western philosophy, it seems as though Kant, didn't just come up with the accurate understanding of reason but he never makes mistakes or exaggerations. I feel like I am being revealed what is unquestionably true.

Swede number three here. I also do what these two do.

Except I don't speak french at all. I am a bilingual pleb who didn't pay attention in french class.

Although this anon >>12000853 comes close, it is actually the Apology. Alternatively, read this

Anyone in the field? I am considering a career between that and CS myself. Which do you recommend? If I choose journalism, I can get my foot in the door because of lol it's one of the top ten journalism schools in the nation and if I choose CS I get stuck with #59 according to niche.

Plato has some great ones, imho:

>I do not know, men of Athens, how my accusers affected you; as for me, I was almost carried away in spite of myself, so persuasively did they speak. And yet, hardly anything of what they said is true.

>Were you with Socrates yourself, Phaedo, on the day when he drank the poison in prison, or did someone else tell you about it?

My personal favorite:
>I was the first man to fall in love with you, son of Clinias, and now that the others have stopped pursuing you I suppose you’re wondering why I’m the only one who hasn’t given up—and also why, when the others pestered you with conversation, I never even spoke to you all these years.

This one is a Lombardo translation, of whom I'm not really fond:
>Where have you just come from, Socrates? No, don’t tell me. It’s pretty obvious that you’ve been hunting the ripe and ready Alcibiades.

Classic:
>I went down to the Piraeus yesterday with Glaucon, the son of Ariston. I wanted to say a prayer to the goddess, and I was also curious to see how they would manage the festival, since they were holding it for the first time.

>During all the time that I was with you administering your empire and enjoying your confidence above all others, you got the benefits and I the slanders.

The archetypical schema for the assessment of the qualities of the superman through the process of analytic sexual selection on the basis of competency.

So, men. Basically. They invented men.

And men are pretty amazing.

A metaphysical category of existence and its instantiation into the physiological structure of the human brain as an interpretive schema of reality.

No wonder you idiots have 24/7 women hate threads.

The inferiority complex is real.

I'm a girl btw.

Plato is right about everything.
