@Logo_Daedalus As a child I cried because I couldn't see myself without a mirror - my parents tried to console me when I told them through all my tears and sniffling, but I do remember their confusion

@LandsharkRides Saw the original in person at Dalí exhibit near me a while ago. Stared for long time ...

Disagree with the “hypergamy” and “eugenics” debate entirely. Might write on, but:
A) Hypergamy” is a neologism that’s being misused re its technical meaning; if this word wasn’t used before 1900 think of why
B) “Eugenics” is undefined and used without historical examples
C) Breeding and dating are two different things; aristocratic marriage was different from and disconnected from aristocratic love both in ancient and modern (1200s) Europe; and it is aristocratic culture that invented both real marriage and real love. The modern situation in a culturally much degraded but structurally similar form repeats this because who a college girl fucks and dates in her youth isn’t necessarily who she’ll have babies with after 27. Conversation seems confused to me
D) women have multiple neuroses and anxieties and petty calculations that often stop them even in the best of worlds from choosing based on lust, therefore talk of women’s “desires” being “eugenic” is misguided because many of these decisions aren’t even informed by her animal direct perception, which is the premise here
E) we don’t in fact live in a free sexual marketplace and competition has been made de facto illegal for multiple groups under pressure of feminist and neofeminist morality and norms.
F) my impression both sides play bait and switch with historical examples that aren’t directly applicable to our time

5 years ago today they blew up the condominium complex where John McAfee held his deadman's switch, killing 91 people.

@Eleffterios @Athens_Stranger Read this for a class this past year and I couldn't agree more. It's a stroke of genius. I was shocked at how relevant it is

@Athens_Stranger This post, his answer to my reply, even this quote twt are throwing me into psychosis. I have no idea what's real anymore - where does the irony start and begin?

[fleur inverse @fleur_inverse]

Before the Vatican's condemned negative eugenics, quite a couple of theologians discussed the morality of sterilization, so it's not that self-evident.

Caring about the quality of the offspring/eugenics is not contrary to the Faith, only certain means (negative eugenics) are.

The right is full of people who hate cities, seethe at educational institutions, despise most art and architecture, cultivate a strange and stunted parochial nativism, and generally nourish a palette of self-limiting resentments that cede the left massive cultural dominance.

@dominbydigdug Would you consider a similar dive into Hesiod or Pindar?

[Gawain @avanttarde]

Have seen this echoed on and offline.. Achilles' defection wasn't the first deviation from the hierarchy/norm - Agamemnon's theft was, making him the crybaby. Achilles recognized this disruption and bowed out until made whole. No spoils (true glory, not abstraction)? Why fight?

[Dominated by Dig Dug @dominbydigdug]

Achilles was a bit of a cry baby.

[Gawain @avanttarde]

@Incictus_V Homer, Pindar, and Hesiod are almost essential prereading for classical ethics, especially Aristotle. Their poetry and how it formed the hearts and minds of antiquity, especially the philosophers you mention, serve as much of the raw material to be organized by their philosophy
