mankind sees the problem of inequity and wishes to solve it by overcoming scarcity: for even when it is orders of magnitude less, an infinity is always infinite

Man claims knowledge of good and evil, but not the ability to distinguish them. What's celebrated as virtuous and good in this life is often harmful to the immortal soul. Our power of reason betrays us, we live in darkness and depravity, and is why we must obey the Lord.

Plato was definitely both. He wrote dialogues where Socrates used Euclidean geometry to illustrate philosophical points, such as the moment of aporia in the Meno, which relied on the demonstration that a square's diameter can be used to construct another square twice its size
@jdchawla29 You telling me Plato wasn't a shape rotator? Theory of Forms? Platonism? Come on my guy

This done, the Multitude so united in one Person, is called a COMMON-WEALTH, in latine CIVITAS. This is the Generation of that great LEVIATHAN, or rather (to speake more reverently) of that Mortall God, to which wee owe under the Immortall God, our peace and defence.
i keep thinking about this our cells have no awareness that they're part of a larger consciousness does this apply to us as well there's a larger consciousness that we're a part of but we as its individual cells only perceive ourselves and our immediate surroundings

Babylon was a golden cup in the Lord’s hand, That made all the earth drunk. The nations drank her wine; Therefore the nations are deranged. Babylon has suddenly fallen and been destroyed. Wail for her!

Across the bright expanse of cosmic spheres between the tiny grains of spacetime sand O what wonders did the Lord create! With a single phrase He caused a cosmic burst of light to usher forth His endless majesty the universe. Thus was made from His decree everything in the world.

Art in general—AI generated or otherwise—often serves to divert our attention to the worldly. Art seldom reminds us of the human condition but rather makes us blind to it it, see it as something it is not. No, if anything pleases the Lord it worship and prayer, penance and rigor.

Maybe the groyper is part of a pattern that has emerged elsewhere in history. A sign that politics are in flux, but dressed in the novelties of the current day where society is hyper aware of its own relationship with the past. A runaway frenzy tethered to the firmament

Furthermore, how far back does political exploitation go? does it predate modernity and capitalism? If we think about Machiavelli for example, he seemed to suggest that any and all political philosophy is subject to propaganda.

The next question I would ask then is something like this: in what sense is man as a political actor exploited? For example, is it in order to manufacture consent? is it the essentially same exploitation as labor? or maybe something symbolic or spiritual in nature

Fascinating that the groyper is defined by alienation and estrangement from their politics/culture. This is a similar relationship that Marx described between workers and labor. Workers are alienated from their labor under capitalism. So it is here as well https://t.co/XlrvrwuSI0

I do not pay for "twitter premium". I do not "boost" my "posts". I reply to whomever I want. I use whatever formatting I want. And if the algorithm doesn't deem my posts worthy of seeing the light of day, then I post only for myself.
