@RhodianWanderer The very fact that you can recognize it and that you are bound by it means that it is intelligible and ordered. Nietzschean fate would be unrecognizable. There would be no coherence to becoming and knowledge of it or anything else would be impossible.
Platonic epistemology is a better answer to Agrippa’s trilemma than Jay Dyer’s presuppositional Orthodox Christian position because it is true, intuitive, simple, universal, theologically and ideologically neutral, and not dependent on the supposed infallibility of any scripture.
And, thus, Platonism is the real TAG.
Platonic epistemology explained below by ChatGPT:
@Aelthemplaer Gylfaginning, Fintan and the Hawk of Achill, Plato's Timaeus, and Shatapatha Brahmana all telling variants of the same demiurge creation myth.

@JoePaulGians Sure we can consider it as a possibility, that's fine. But there should be an actual argument and evidence for why the text is not accurately representing the source material. In the case of the Codex Regius there was no translation. It's written in the original language.
@JoePaulGians "Your myths were written by Christians" is used as an argument against the validity of the myths and worship of the Gods. It's implying the scribes intentionally Christianized them or did not record the information faithfully.
@JoePaulGians He's simply asserting that because the oldest surviving copy of the Havamal was written after conversion that Christians changed the myth to make Odin more Christlike with no evidence or argument.
@BreakingSpells@aionaktaion I had sleep paralysis one time and immediately recognized what was happening so I wasn't scared. Just waited for it to be over and then went back to sleep. Guess the demon realized I wasn't easy loosh and left after that.
@bestia007_ I don't doubt it, I've just never understood how "paganism" works. It seems like a very loose collection of beliefs that aren't necessarily held together by a single authority, even within particular sects.
