Doctrine of Grand Narrative

"His flanks unburdened by the loins of the rider, by quiet lamplight, far from the tumult of Alexander's battle, he reads and turns the pages of our old books."

@san_og75940 @QuackMcduck420 @shevereshtus This is an old polemic from Medieval times. The written law was never meant to stand alone. It simply can't. You're angry because you think literalism is true and anything other than that is a lie. That's just immature thinking that you're inflicting on others as a weapon.

@zerophases @TheOmniLiberal When Hans Jonas, one of Heidegger's prominent Jewish students came to Berlin in the Jewish Brigade, he went to meet with another professor, the theologian Rudolf Bultmann. Bultmann and his wife told Jonas do not go to Heidegger.

@jewishstudent1 Probably because rabbanim have been writing about this for decades, that real lives have been at stake for all those halakhic questions, and you brazenly flout how much you don't care.

@jewishstudent1 @NeoLitvish You have both the time and interest to complain and make speculations about something you could easily verify.

[Doctrine of Grand Narrative @DBucephalus]

@jewishstudent1 @NeoLitvish You could alternatively take a look at it.

[Doctrine of Grand Narrative @DBucephalus]

@jewishstudent1 @NeoLitvish There's a robust body of contemporary halakhah on questions like these.

@WolfGuy222 @jewishstudent1 Back in the Middle Ages the more compelling polemics against the Karaites argued that no reasonable interpretation of chumash could exist without some outside body of knowledge being implied. Otherwise you'd be executing people with close to zero standards or stipulations.

@maklelan Traditionalism like this is so reactionary it's long past conservative. It's anti-intellectual grifting, and that's the brand they sell.

@mycr_karenina Nah. First, no way to tell what this means when so many are coy with actual opinions. Mamdani avoided saying he was for a single binational state until he got pinned down. Second, he has trouble acknowledging those opposed to him can honestly disagree. Not a positive sign.

@Mr_Andrew_Fox Hamas stopped releasing demographic breakdowns of casualties by age and sex long before 10/7. Why would they start again now?

@shevereshtus So we're given shiny objects while the path to actual wealth is more and more priced in. It's not just a distraction. But it's not as meaningful as commensurate wage growth to productivity, or a path to wealth.

[Doctrine of Grand Narrative @DBucephalus]

@shevereshtus Part of the trade off the globalized economy offered was slow growing wages, high productivity, cheap consumer products. Housing prices of the same houses are rising, the same houses and not just new stock. That provides equity that is wealth, but closes the door on newcomers.

@SamuelSokol The guys with literal nooses and guns on cakes don't like violent political imagery?
