@EighthDayPrays No, that cannot be said of any virtue because knowledge without experience is not knowledge — that’s the teaching of Prometheus (it’s even in the name, man)
@apollophanes If entry into heaven meant I’d spend eternity with scolds like that fat woman ed feser then I’d *request* being sent to hell for better company
Included in this discussion are meticulously detailed connections to:
— Machiavelli, Hobbes
— Homer, Plato, Aristotle, Cicero
— Nietzsche, Rousseau, John Adams and Edmund Burke
@justforfun1328 And in the case of that endlessly scolding fat woman ed feser it’s a size xl skin suit he’s wearing to his day job as a mere community college teacher
For the endless talk of forgiveness on today’s timeline by most people whose knowledge of true enemies is a mere abstraction that lacks experience amid their lives of idle comfort:
Thucydides is the corrective for such ignorance
Just over 5hrs after some last minute additions on Homer, Plato, Machiavelli, the “revaluation of all values”, and what it even means to speak of “a liberal arts/‘great books’ education” — all of it and much more are in Thucydides
@_artistsrifles That fat endlessly scolding woman edward feser is exemplary of the resentment he projects upon anyone why criticizes him. That he’s entirely oblivious to it is because he’s merely a community college teacher
@vincentelaquila@kryptosari You would be hard pressed to find a more despicable human today than an academic, particularly the sanctimonious ones who claim Christianity and even the “independent” ones here on X
Let God judge them — I simply want to help facilitate the meeting
@vincentelaquila@kryptosari All these people talking so breezily about forgiveness without knowing what having a true enemy even means, much less its consequences . It’s all an abstraction to these pious parading effeminates who know nothing of personal destruction
@60Minutes All the outrage against him saying that is faggotry all the way down
Machiavelli was correct in saying you pathetic moralizers are eunuchs who would happily disarm heaven and call it a virtue
@roddreher You know who else is “literally a character in Dante’s Inferno”: Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle — ever heard of Limbo, you illiterate screeching woman?
Dante’s depths are far deeper than your mere effeminate moralizing
