@elenasb_ I do not get it, St. Augustine effect: drink, f--k, and be merry, then when bored with fun, become a Nietzschean philosopher of life. Maybe like Weil, exhibit noblesse oblige. I will keep my Will, served we well surviving my betters who can be inattentive yet still survive.
@Trisolaris0@SohrabAhmari@NikosMohammadi@sunraysunray A "socialist" in the 1930's when he called himself that and a "socialist" post-WWII are radically different words. He was not a Marxist as "The Rebel" makes clear. These days, Marxist socialism is the only option. He would most definitely reject it as would the likes of Orwell.
@valerie_reads It is after Labor Day, so white is out. It is either olive green, mustard yellow, terracotta, rust, or warm chocolate brown depending on the day and what streaming service you watch.
Contemporary thought finally might be realizing that though race is a social construct, social class is ontologically real: ruling classes use race to maintain power in class struggle. I have contemplated these issues in my writings for years. Most basic: https://t.co/QqPDJ5MTdK
@SohrabAhmari Americans are so naive. Protected from history by two oceans and weak neighbors who like you are bred by a religion for which the Beatitudes are virtues. A curriculum is "war"? You are clueless. Islam was started by a conqueror to conquer. It is good at it, its only virtue.
@CthulhuHulu@djliston75@realDonaldTrump Whatever capacity programmers give it, it is given to it and limited by code. Sure, we can allow it to kill us but such is true of all inventions. Inventing lab viruses and even vaccines could kill us; does not make the virus/vac intelligent. Only proves our lack of intelligence.
@lifeexamined2@realDonaldTrump Difficulty does not change the nature of a thing, our use of language does. A "wave" in the ocean is not the same as "wave" in physics. Treating it so changes our reality. Intelligence involves a language with intent and knowing. Code programed to write code is not intelligence.
@djliston75@realDonaldTrump What definition? You are making a category error. A "wave" in the ocean is not the same as a "wave" in physics. Intelligence involves a language with intent and knowing. Code programed to generate code is no more "writing" than "square root" of -1 is the same as sq. root of 1.
