@ElijahForCA But as an agrarian I don’t think you should be pro gym; rather one should choose a life where one naturally finds reasons to move; like Jefferson’s daily exercise of riding around his estate; or Abraham Lincoln building a log cabin to live in (maybe he did this idk).
@morallawwithin So in my mind my worry is about Gods existence and eternal life; rather than hell and dogmatic alignment. And I experience that in an either 50/50 type way or by certainty. Not sure if there is a better way in these matters!
@HCH_Hill Funnily the fathers that I have heard criticising Homers representation of fatherhood tended to be kind of bad fathers themselves; probably fearing the bubble of their shallow tyrannical power would be deflated in some way.
@johnmilbank3 But it’s more then synthesis; basically a great paradigm to build on. I look forward to reading more about it. (I thought about using this Coleridge poem for the opening of my history of Britain; but I think it could be perceived has too heterodox and partial)
@johnmilbank3 I have been thinking, Coleridge (and Wordsworth together) present the best model for us to build on; with there creative synthesis of multiple strands, such as: non-conformist spirituality, Anglicanism, tender, but vital, notions of conservatism. Also matter + spirit, old + new.
@johnmilbank3 Rowan Williams made a similar point in his lecture on Wednesday; saying that both left + right have a tendency to be destructive + sterile rather than constructive in building a shared cultural creativity + imagination. Seems like an historic role 4 CofE + other adjacent thought.
@kunley_drukpa@surplustakes When it ended would be better; because I believe there is ambiguity about whether to date the end by armistice or the actual peace agreement; so could be 18 or 19. It could create an interesting conversation.
@SebMilbank We need a restoration of the house of Stuart (symbolically though because Charles is a good king) and a purging of the Whigs, for this to happen I think.
@saturnine_grace But I feel this is different then dying for Trump; who is something more like a modernist Tyrant then an ancient regime sacred authority figure
@saturnine_grace It reminds me of Robert E Lee, marse Robert has some (white) troops called him, he had the aura of sacred hierarchy and the type of person you would die for. But this is the branch that died perhaps.
@saturnine_grace I wonder how this vibes with a lot of early Christian tradition, that has carried on to the present, that because of original sin or something else; morality does have to be imposed in some way and in a manner that is in alienation from a free relation to existence.
@saturnine_grace Yes + no; yes for obvious reasons; but no because it is ethical that ethical action should be rewarded; so one should act for this fuller meaning of morality which includes your own reward. This combo of a yes + no in action is in some sense Faith; and this is what u should act 4
