@Throwaway137658 @Athanasius_45 The id[ea] is to ‖strip out‖ the mainly 19ᵗʰ‐century †mark[‑]up† from the inter⟨i⟩or ⟦sc.⟧ of the† texts, so [you]¹ can ⟨actually⟩ read them [cf. infra]† ※

Please do drop by, we are big fans: me in particular: your idea of Aspiration is very relevant, why aspire to wisdom in the absence of understanding what that is?

Stoicism is widely misunderstood: Not like Kant at all.

@PhilosophyMttrs Stoicism has chuff all to do with control,

The Dichotomy of Control is no older than the iPhone

@jmchugh1 @DonJRobertson It is only collateral if done without foreknowledge of it being inevitable.

Dropping a bomb on your target which also kills a bunch of children you did not know about is collateral

Dropping a bomb on your target who you KNOW is surrounded by children is calculated.

@jondavidchurch " the Frankfurt school philosophers feared that logical positivism reinforced the kind of modern scientific reason that underpins industrial capitalism"

False and a hilarious inference by you🤣

You should check the political commitments of Neurath, Carnap, AJ Ayer. Russell.

@jondavidchurch @anarchomorphist @KaiWhiting "The first man who, having enclosed a piece of ground, bethought himself of saying 'This is mine,' and found people simple enough to believe him, was the real founder of civil society."
Rousseau Discourse on the Origin and Basis of Inequality Among Men"

@jondavidchurch @anarchomorphist @KaiWhiting It comes out of Christianity..

In the Anglosphere it is more Methodist than Marxist.

On the continent, enlightenment thinking you could point at Rousseau and Montesquieu.

Déclaration des droits de l'homme et du citoyen 1789:

Stay in your lane mate!

@jondavidchurch @anarchomorphist @KaiWhiting Descartes was a rationalist not a skeptic and had a massive narrative.

Who do you have in mind?

PM tends to epistemic subjectivism or relativism, not epistemic nihilism.

Phyrro was pre-Hellenistic.
Carnaedes had a fallibilist epistemology.

@jondavidchurch Not that capitalism has been around for that long, how is neoliberalism distinct from capitalism broadly articulated?

You have coined a banal tautology.

Critiques of capitalism are critiques of capitalism

@_MikeTremblay How do you link these principles back to Aristotle?

1) Virtue is knowledge.
2) Virtue is the only good
3) Virtue is sufficient for eudaemonia.
4) Nobody knowingly does wrong.

Aristotle explicitly denies all of the above.

@MissalModernist @donalddhoffman I prove by standing on this chair that it is impossible to stand on this chair.

Self hollowing argument.

@richardgordon22 @donalddhoffman "if anybody wants to see a demonstration that immediately breaks old assumptions"

How you imagine that your experiment would demonstrate anything veridical?

[JamesDaltrey @JimmyDaltrey]

@GFlock_GCSN @donalddhoffman No they didn't, or rather you can't know that they did.

[JamesDaltrey @JimmyDaltrey]

@donalddhoffman Are you claiming that there are evolved creatures whose perception of the affordances and dangers within their environment do not map or track in any way shape or form the affordances and dangers of their environment?

A short piece on the Stoic Dichotomy of Control not being a thing..

@stoameditation @COSP_NewStoa Just why would you even discuss that?
