If you really want good Christian thinkers, read Origen, Meister Eckhart or Nicolas de Cues.

This isn’t a criticism of the thinkers themselves. This is a criticism of how we treat these thinkers. Far too often are wise men and saints and heroes, and even a mere man searching for meaning, used as bludgeons by the dull to mask their ineptitude and need for pride.
The reason why Islamic studies fell behind is due to the incapacity to move on from past glory. They will cite these philosophical works like hadiths, and dull their own minds. Drunk on their own success, they forgot the art of philosophy. No Ibn Sinas are born, only Muhammads.

Where now are the Copts, Nestorians, Zoroastrians, and Hindus, to learn from? Where are the studies of the dhimmis and the non-Arabs to lay claim to? Where are the churches to convert into Mosques? Where are the Byzantine craftsmen to build the Dome of the Rock?

I mean, you only have Aquinas thanks to Muslim scholars. He built his whole philosophical system on the shoulders of Imam al‑Ghazali, Ibn Sina, and others, repackaging their ideas into his Trinitarian theology.

Trying to smuggle in “the philosophies of Plato, Hegel, Kant, Spinoza, are verbose trash” after a fairly valid criticism of diagram representation is naughty. I disagree heavily with at least five out of six of the appendant philosophies, but good luck proving their lack of wit!
Hot take: Diagrams like these are bollocks; cargo-cult mental toys for mid people. They convey no meaningful information and their appendant "philosophies" are verbose trash.

If you liked Emily Wilson’s translation of the Iliad, then you are probably also the type of person to like One Piece.

Most women (arguably all, including me) are like this because they’re biologically hardwired to consider their eros as their only asset. “Here’s what we women actually think”, “Here’s what you should do to attract us”. Tone deaf. Sometimes innocently cute, but mostly cringe.

Who cares. There aren’t many women who wouldn’t be flustered by a Henry Cavill. Most people aren’t thinking about their rigid beauty standards when they’re in actual situations interacting with people. Women, stop trying to be quirky about “what women think”. Men already know.
Henry Cavill is more of a man's man. He actually isn't THAT attractive to most women. Timothy Chalamet outshines him as sex symbol that appears to women. Henry has the classic strong, tall, muscular and reliable kind of vibe, but he lacks edginess, danger, mystery. He's

As a math student, I encountered many notable mathematicians identifying as Platonist. I go out of my field and find Plato again in philosophy, political science, aesthetics, religion, psychology, astronomy. All Western literature and art. No man should be this influential.
One philosopher. One lifetime to read them deeply. Who do you pick?
