@dominbydigdug I’m interested

@jeffbullas @JMNRofCanon Great books programs aren’t even an education. They’re also a new invention.

[Jake @Le_Master]

@sauryalogs What do you think classical education is? It’s not whatever this is.

@ThomasEWoods Meanwhile you have videos like this where black girls shove a couple of girls out of the way because “they white” and there’s zero outrage.

The photo was just the only one I found on the fly that shows Posterior on the cover. I appreciate him too, but consider him nowhere near the level of someone like Thomas Taylor.

But as to why--because it establishes the way to attain scientific knowledge/episteme (knowing necessary truths through their causes beginning from first principles). Basically if a man were to attain an actual divine kind of intellectual activity it would be through demonstrative science which Posterior Analytics explains how to exercise. And the highest perfection of man is the intellectual activity like that of the divine. I genuinely believe in a distant future men will return to seeking this knowledge as they discover what we know as modern science is almost entirely pertains to techne, prediction, and contingent things.

And what's most amazing is Aristotle developed this basically to perfection on the first go, with no one even attempting it before him.

@no1doomsoldier @ImmanuelllKant I felt it cheating to name a collection of books, so I singled out Posterior Analytics. But as a whole, nothing is above the Organon.

@TheColinCausey @Tweetophon @metathomist There literally isn’t

[Jake @Le_Master]

@Tweetophon @metathomist It’s incredible you’re unaware that he explicitly addresses this

[Jake @Le_Master]

@Fernan29103 @metathomist So you believe the diagonal of a square is commensurate with its side?

@JOEY94742474 @FrankGugs @jeffreytucker This has long been debunked. It is a terrible attempt at statistics. Compensation and productivity still track one another. The issue with this chart is the two lines are very wrongly deflated by two different deflators. Doing it correctly in nominal $ is shown here.

@berlinbears1961 So every school in existence?

[Jake @Le_Master]

@TheStoicEmperor That’s not really classical education

[Jake @Le_Master]

@zenahitz What leads you to conclude that fire’s substantial form is a soul? Or do consider its apparent growth and nourishment as signs of one?

[Jake @Le_Master]

@fworksconfetti @huskirl It’s just as annoying and ridiculous when it uses words like “I” and any sort of cognitive function like “think.”
