My sources are telling me Talarico is in a mental health facility. His campaign has stopped actively planning events in the vital homestretch of the campaign.
If this is true, this is actually a time to pray for Talarico. We should, of course, savagely mock his smug, awful campaign advisors, by all means...and while yes, of course, this would be disqualifying for Talarico's aspirations to be a Texas Senator, we must hold empathy for anyone undergoing crisis. Campaigns are brutal, and not everybody is cut out for it. You need very thick skin. As much as I don't want Talarico anywhere near government, I also don't want wish him harm, and no political office is worth having a breakdown. His awful advisors are at fault for this. They pushed him to be something he isn't, and it didn't work.
I'm praying that this isn't true, and he's OK. You want to win these fights on the battlefield of ideas, not the minefield of poor health.
@gameofyouu Honestly there are some foundational texts that I haven’t read but I just read a philososohy encyclopedia to get a summary and then read the stuff I’m really excited about.
@gameofyouu Lmao 😭 it’s what got me into philosophy when I was younger. He attempts to reconcile platonism and Christianity and the explanations in the footnotes just got me reading more philosophy. And there’s also a funny passage about him getting upset with himself for jerking off lol
