I probably come off as a pathetic autist loser on twitter, but I’m an inaccessible chad on instagram [still autistic though]

… more with an education geared toward being a Laval Thomist (which more or less includes being a Strict Observance Thomist in theological matters), than with a “classical education.” As you may have guessed, this is testified to by omission as well. There is so much more…

[Liam @cathomist]

A thread: @Le_Master has me reflecting on classical education and my TAC education. I wonder if TAC is more rightly described as a school offering a “Laval Thomism” education primarily, and a “classical education” only incidentally. 🧵

…questions that DeKoninck & co. were concerned with: questions about how 19th & 20th century empirical/experimental science can be reconciled with Thomistic/Aristotelian natural philosophy.
The trajectory of the curriculum in multiple respects shows its harmony…

@Le_Master @athenaeumbc @JeremyTate41 @0Beanie05923291 @LordIxabert @MartinCothran @zenahitz @JamesWHankins1 Nevertheless, you pose an excellent litmus test. Are any of the classical guys you tagged St. John’s or TAC alum? Tate is a friend of TAC, but I don’t think he attended.
In any case, I’m very thankful for being a member of the Triangle Appreciation Club (TAC). 2/2

Ptolemy is lightwork though. Kepler slightly more difficult. Newton is where the rubber hits the road, and there only a small chance I could handle the stuff toward the end (if I remember correctly) of the Principia. 1/2

@GusVague Not saying you did anything wrong; probably best not to give out a handle to homeless guys. Nevertheless, your post reminded me of what that priest said.

[Liam @cathomist]

@GusVague A six pack would probably be better than a handle. But, a few bucks is fine too.
I saw a video where a priest was talking about how God trusts us with so much yet we misuse the things He gives us; yet, many of us refuse to give a few bucks to a homeless person. 1/2

@SimonSchfe45703 Heidegger vindicated concerning das Man vs. Dasein.

@notyourkimberly There’s another source I could send, but I don’t post it publicly since it’s written by a priest who was eventually laicized for being a p*dophile 😬
Nevertheless, that document is amazing and very helpful in spite of the priest’s crimes, but I just won’t post it publicly…
