The problem is that the high knows the low, but the low does not know the high / Bo gdy tak człek od rana pełza, to wieczór spędzić chce wśród gwiazd.

Old books are better because they sprung from a culture where reading, not watching, was the predominant mode of leisure. That not only meant authors were well-read and thus better writers, but that their readership was well-read too, so authors could expect more of them

My twentieth-century answer to this is actually Piłsudski. Hitler genuinely liked him on a personal level and it’s quite likely Poland and Germany would have been able to come to some sort of accommodation in 1939 that would have ensured any WWII analogue looked very different.
Tell me the one person in history who, if they had lived an additional one, five, or even ten years, could have significantly changed the world.

Pytacie mnie jak się czuję z niechybnym końcem NATO Powiem Wam, że jest mi trochę łatwiej, bo jest to przynajmniej 3 koniec NATO w ostatnim półroczu, człowiek ma doświadczenie, po tym jak: 1) Trump sprzedał pół Ukrainy na Alasce 2) Najechał Kanadę 3) Anektował Grenlandię

herodotus very famously wrote about this after hearing north african folklore telling of a wet sahara—some thousands of years prior—and got clowned as absurdly inaccurate for millennia until he was vindicated in the 19th century

I think it was Douthat who pointed out that social conservatives tend to be right, but by the time they're proven right, no one cares anymore.
The "social conservatives" were right about everything. We have been right about everything for decades. Literally everything. We told you that if you tolerate euthanasia even for the terminally ill, even for the "extreme cases," very soon it will be used to put down anyone the

Musial is a Polish historian who fled to West Germany to escape communism. This unique background gives him distance from both Nazi Germany and the USSR - he can be objective. I plan to read this and hope Passage translates more of his work.
Stalin's Great Raid, by the renowned Polish-German historian Bogdan Musial, is one of my favorite books of the year. A deep and riveting account of the Soviet-German power struggle before and after WWII. Serious history for serious readers. https://t.co/LiAp5lbTLx

One of the worst types of bugman is the “if it isn’t in a study then it doesn’t exist” type Inability to see reality without it being parsed through some approved authority Avoid such types who can’t reason with their god given intuition

As a former progressive, this is absolutely accurate and caused me endless frustration with my co-partisans. They fundamentally don’t care if their ideas work. They hardly even have a concept of ideas working. Their entire evaluation function is based on social perception and
@edwest After a decade in the public sector I still find this one of the most replicable observations ever made.

Rzekoma infantylność Nietzschego to często spotykana opinia wśród ludzi, którzy zrozumieli, że wbrew pozorom nie był on takim zupełnym relatywistą, że ma swoją aksjologię i ta aksjologia nie przypadła im do gustu. W praktyce zazwyczaj wygłaszają ją albo lewicowcy, albo
To taka manosfera dla sojakow z roszczeniami intelektualnymi które muszą być oczywiście manifestowane sygnalizowaniem ekscentryzmu. Coś jak korwinizm ale dla innej grupy

Bardzo fajny test przekonań filozoficznych. Wstępne wyniki nieco rozczarowujące, ale bez kompromitacji.
A new diagnostic quiz 10 questions for you to think about. This is probably more fun for people who are relatively new to philosophy. Try it out and see! I am having a lot of fun creating these tools, quizzes, and resources. Enjoy! https://t.co/XsoQ8IwmN5

Stanowski to taki prawicowy odpowiednik Wojewódzkiego, tylko ofc w lepszym wydaniu - biznesman przede wszystkim a nie celebryta.
Ten wywiad (de facto atak) udowodnił, że Wojewódzki ma problem ze Stanowskim. Najwyraźniej dziarski 63-latek jeszcze nie pogodził się z tym, że Kanał Zero zabrał mu większą część publiczności, i że nie ma szans wygrać tej rywalizacji.
