Originally posted by GGG Those fundamental thoughts were around before the philosophers were, and would've been around long after had they not existed.
True, the ancient Egyptians were using sophisticated engineering well before it was codified.
Originally posted by GGG Aristotle and other philosophers who actually science'd are a little different. Nigga had formulas, not just thoughts. He was a scientist before it was cool to be one, though I guess if you break it down, all scientists are fundamentally philosophers.
The reason they call doctorates a "PhD" is because it stands for Doctor of Philosophy. That's because, historically, "science" as we now call it, was once considered a branch of philosophy. -

Originally posted by vindicktive vinny no, you cant spread knowledges unto those who do not want to seek it.
for people who are serious about gaining the germanic knowledges of kant or neet-zsche or any other german thinkers they would be willing to spend their to learn german, not just contemporary german they speak today, but the german of their times to be able to truly immense themselves in the thoughts and philosophies of these dead thinkers.
anything short of this is just being convenient philosophers not much unlike convenient christians.
how can you say you understand kant and think kant and phathom kant when you cant even think in the language and senses that he thought in.
which is why muhhammad is so smart when he required that al quran be read and written and memorized in and only in arabic, to prevent the corruption of its meaning and intent.
Dude, nobody's gonna sit around and learn umpteen different languages just to ensure an authentic interpretation.
Be realistic. -

Originally posted by GGG Do you really think they 'advanced western thinking?'
Because I think philosophers have played an incredibly minimal role in the developing of humanity. Philosophy is very important. Philosophers are not.
I feel the most important change in advancing western thinking has been communication. Look at how news of morphine addiction spread RAPIDLY after the invention/adaptation of the telegram in the mid 1800's. It happened quickly that states started passing legislation on various drugs, and then of course the narcotics act wiped that all away, but it's crazy to think that before then people didn't really demonize drug use in the same way.
Then of course in the 30's and 60's there are some major movements and discussions on drug use that have shaped western society to this day. These were largely facilitated by movies, radio, music, etc.
When has a philosopher ever swayed public opinion? If anything, they seem to be more a product of the times. I feel like philosophy doesn't really get interesting until descartes and humes and all of them come around. It starts becoming more practical and applicable to real life. Probably a better way to word it but I hate getting meta with philosophy. Early philosophers feel so disconnected and fundamental and abstract. Like the type of shit you think of as a teenager. I think scientific understanding has done wonders for philosophy, personally.
That fundamental and abstract thinking is the source of modern day physical sciences.
It might sound obvious now (because of hindsight bias), but they really did come up with the idea that material is constructed of atomic units, paving the way for chemistry, and Aristotle wrote a bunch of books about laws of physics (now mostly discredited, admittedly, but who else was sitting around positing laws of motion in Ancient Greece? most people were preoccupied with raising their cattle and tending to their farms). -

Originally posted by Lanny Probably not what §m£ÂgØL is talking about, but if you want an interesting argument sorta "against" Socrates, check out Nietzsche's "The Problem of Socrates" in "Twilight of Idols". You can find copies online. The gist is that Socrates wasn't killed for just being an obnoxious shit who annoyed everyone he talked to, but basically that society is arbitrary but functional, and it works because we normally don't question how arbitrary it is. When you start trying to understand a society on an intellectual level, as Socrates did by questioning things like virtue, or the gods, or justice, and basically forcing people to think about those things instead of accepting society's answers you jeopardize social cohesion. And that only a society which is already experiencing anxiety about those things is susceptible to the kinds of challenges that Socrates represents.
I mean basically Nietzsche is still sucking Socrates' dick if you step back and think about the kind of things N-dog was into, and rightly so, but it does kind of recast Socrates' character from the traditional idea of the guy chasing the sophists out of Athens and challenging the hypocritical blowhards of Athenian aristocracy into a kind of anti-social iconoclast. I mean the traditional narrative does paint Socrates like that, but I think the normal retelling kind of treats Socrates as an intellectual Robinhood or something, someone working to cure the culture of what ales it, rather than a symptom of it's underlying sickness.
Yes, that's true. Nietzsche is really Socrates wrapped in German culture, as well as a fantastic mustache by the way.
It's almost like deflecting the question being asked back upon the one asking it has become the claim to fame for many a philosopher.
But sadly, too many cultures, both historical and currently existing, had an overwhelming need for that kind of forced introspection.
Also, I'll check out Nietzsche's writing on Socrates. -

Originally posted by vindicktive vinny theres no point in reading translated literature.
once they;re translated, their nuance and subtlities were lost.
You raise a totally valid point.
I have read a lot of German philosophers, from Kant and Nietzsche through to Heidegger.
I even consulted differently translated editions from time to time, to gain a broader understanding of the concepts involved.
But on the other hand, not translating them at all kinda defeats the whole idea of spreading knowledge. -

Originally posted by HTS So essentially you need to be accredited to be a thing. Your status as "a thing" is dependent on people agreeing with it? You're not a plumber unless society sees your piece of paper that says "totally a plumber"? 🤔
I call bullshit. Kafka was a writer before anyone knew he'd written anything. You are what you do, not what people acknowledge you for doing. 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Well not really.
I'm not trying to imply that.
I think you're unfairly interpreting what I said.
You can be a damn good plumber that could fix any drainage problem in the world, but not be a Plumber TM because you lack the credentials.
That doesn't make him/her any less of a plumber in my eyes. -

Originally posted by Lanny I'm not super hot on Nietzsche's philosophy either, but I do think he's actually a pretty interesting writer if we just pretend like thus spoke zarathustra wasn't actually a thing. And his work was influential to a lot of, IMO, better philosophers of the 20th century.
Thus Spake Zarathustra was pretty incomprehensible to anyone who will at least admit to an ounce of humility.
But it's a beautiful piece of poetry (and philosophy), in my opinion.
Nietzsche is sadly overrated by the alt-right morons, and underrated by the more left-leaning types who see him as some sort of fascist.
(By the way, he absolutely loathed fascism. Just throwing that out there for anyone who didn't know). -

Originally posted by Sudo HTS is a top tier tranny
Nietzsche was wrong about so much more than he was right, I really don't know why he's even talked about. He was a horrible faggot too and kind of a fraud who espoused self identity but di dnt really even have one or understand his own.
I don't think he should be mentioned in the same breath as good philosophers but he was right about things like power.
I find it hard to respect anyone who uses him as an example of an actual philosopher. It's hard to respect them and I assume they just want to justify their homosexual tendencies.
Sudo, I love you and all, but you're being unfair to Nietzsche. He was centuries ahead of his time.
The whole problem with Nietzsche is the plebs that misinterpret him and give him a bad name.
Now excuse me while I bend over for my dominant top gay master...

Originally posted by Nigger Stole My Bike I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
I thanked your post for it's educational and informative value, but I agree with Narc.
It's just one of those things, like Kleenex for tissue paper, or Jello for gelatin-based desert products. -

Originally posted by totse3.com I saw this movie, the year it was made. I had written something (in actual pen and paper) a short story very similar to this. couldn't find it in the box I had stored in my moms closet. I think this film came out 1990s or 1989ish. I wanted to show my wife back then (Who I saw the film with) that I wrote this back in 1986-87. I would go to therapy and they told me to write them in the format of the first person.
If you ever see a film by Scorsese called Afterhours. You might understand this.. Im not saying I wrote this , some Chicago story teller (Radio personnel) did and the script (first 20 minutes) was claimed as written by Joe Minion or some shit (Minion? lol)
But the part where Paul Hacket is telling a potential girlfriend named Marcy (Played by the hawt Rosanna Arquette) having tonsils removed and being placed inside a special ward with cancer or burned children actually happened to me. I was 5-6 years old. Oakland Highland or Kaiser.. I forget which.. but I remembered it. and how it affected me when I saw it at the theater. I remember this film as talking about me.
oddly, I kind of forgot the film over time and was working as a data processor. Paul Hackett the protagonist in the film is a word processor at Met Life building in NYC. I resaw the film and it really fucked with my head. I was a data processor for a while. Jeff Hunter suggested I go to a place off of Broadway in Walnut Creek. the place that screwed me over a bit. anyhooo.. everything feels mapped out.
Edited: but I feel the Chicago Radio guy must of heard a story about me.
I am a Male Muse whatever a male version of a muse would be called.
Fuck you in advance Infinity for the answer I can see coming from you.
Oh man Totse3, you need to work on your narrative and expository composition.
You probably write eloquently well, in your own strange way.
But every, damn, post of yours is a fucking minefield. One that I seldom have the patience to navigate.
Best wishes, bruh. But I can't promise you I'll read that anytime soon. -
