@SamBuntz Probably. Steinbeck certainly believed in racial/international brotherhood, which is why he fell out with Hitchcock after writing the wonderful Lifeboat, because they had very similar worldviews, but Hitchcock believed that each race should look after its own and not mix.

@TheNextMazer @Paul_Heron_ Audrey Rose (1977) was also a pretty amazing film. And one of the most unknown today. The ending was absolutely breathtaking.

@writriverdale the book that promises to teach you better reading is unreadable until you already know how to read it properly?

@paul_jkrause Poor Gregor is the original of the genre. By the way, I recently read your book Odyssey of Love and I loved it!

@Argentinizando2 En 1984 todos los villanos tienen apellidos judíos (y son descritos como teniendo la complexión física de los ''antiguos hebreos''). Aun así la gente cree que es una novela sobre el estalinismo...

@goodcharls Well yeah because Spierlberg fcked Heather O'Rourke to death. Everyone knows that. But why are you questioning the Bible? The God of the Old Testament is the Lord Jesus.

@RyanHaecker Explain the second half of the dialogue (starting from section 135c) in a single tweet.

@PinballWiz4rd That is precisely why it had to be subverted. Rightoid critique of cinema needs to be destroyed and the art regained.

[Ebenezer Fagin @JorgeRogeli]

@PinballWiz4rd writers, directors, critics, and institutions (and, yes, by Jews as well). The great genre films (often noir, fantasy, and horror) functioned as an implicit critique of protestant scientism and utilitarianism, exploring grace, sacrifice and the limits of reason.

@_bonaventurian @GucciG_d Your posts will definitely make me read all of Platonic Theology one day, although I admit it intimidates me (I've only read the Commentary on Plato's Symposium).

[Ebenezer Fagin @JorgeRogeli]

@_bonaventurian @GucciG_d Fabro says that, after the Bible, Contra Gentiles was the book Ficino read most frequently in order never to stray from orthodoxy, and that all the material he used to prove the immortality of the soul against the Aristotelians was drawn from SCG, not from Plato or the Kabbalah.

@namae282 Brokenness introduced by the Fall: death, thorns, gravity, metalls, women, dinosaurs, matter, genitals.

[Ebenezer Fagin @JorgeRogeli]

@Thomiste_1 @LIgfried He wrote that bleeding turd in a hotel room to make easy money (true story). What he remembered from memory, without worrying about accuracy or truthfulness. I also remember that he portrayed Aristotle as a subnormal imbecile who didn't even know what numbers were.

[Ebenezer Fagin @JorgeRogeli]

@LIgfried By the way, a professor I knew, an Argentinian specialist in classical philosophy, wrote a book about Parmenides that was translated into English and I think it follows this line as well.

[Ebenezer Fagin @JorgeRogeli]

@LIgfried Interesting. So the two parts really need each other for the ‘is’ to reveal its full weight against the backdrop of mortal naming? That makes Russell’s dismissal of the Doxa even weirder.

[Ebenezer Fagin @JorgeRogeli]

@LIgfried But I'm no expert on Parmenides, not by a long shot. I have a lot to read.

[Ebenezer Fagin @JorgeRogeli]

@LIgfried Would you say Russell is forcing modern language puzzles onto Parmenides? The poem’s core seems to be noesis grasping what-is as one indivisible reality, not names or shifting descriptions. Treating it like analytic phil misses how radical his rejection of becoming really is.
