I never thought about before but you can really see the connection between seljuk ceramics and the preislamic buddhist wall paintings in central asia.

Did the Seljuks invent moe when they created this awesome ceramic bowl and has #Jaadugar's Tomato Soup sensei perfected it?

[Ibn Ray'leigh @jack71574535]

Apparently investors across asia are pulling their money out and investing it in America markets causing asian currencies to devalue across the board.

This sounds like a perfect recipe for global depression if the American market tanks its almost comical

@Covenant_watch Yh my bad I think my question was quite confusing .

Your statement was just making me wonder to what extent would our prophetology or any of our spefic conceptions be backprojectable to earlier periods (pre-exilic judaism and 2nd temple judaism are very different religions)

[Ibn Ray'leigh @jack71574535]

@Covenant_watch How much of our unique prophetology is a sort of divinely guided historical development that came with islam ?

Since thats the only way I can see we can balance the very clear transformations in relegious concepts across the iron age and antiquity with an Islamic conception.

[Ibn Ray'leigh @jack71574535]

I hope this leads to animators taking an interesting in the gunpowder empires especially the mughals and safavids. There isb So much schizo neoplatonic occult stuff going on that would be so interesting to watch that makes the arabian nights look tame.

[Padmapani 🍁🪷🍉 @FibroFogFig]

This! This is why I can NOT emphasise enough how important is the timing of an anime like #Jaadugar releasing in today's climate. Islamophobia is rampant more than ever that we face it even within fandoms. Jaadugar's gonna educate audiences about Islam our history and cultures.

1. The best way to think about Clarence Thomas is he's a black conservatives that reinforces a worldview that American Conservatives have, which treats Black History and Experience as a footnote, bc it challenges so much of how they want to see the country and it's politics.

[Ibn Ray'leigh @jack71574535]

In the wake of the assyrian conquests there was migration of near eastern craftsmen to greek cities. Being a craftsman was associated with being an immigrant and even a slave particularly with higher end craft skills. It's kind of ironic considering the popularity of Greek goods

Lovecraftian cyberpunk sounds incredible though.

[Eco al-Hollandi @Ecoreactionair]

Far from merely being dystopian, cyberpunk is attractive because it presents the idea of a future that still seemed epic and to contain something for us. Where the systems still needed in some ways to appeal to us

@joycatgeneral It was revealed to me in a dream by somebody who called himself kongzi

[Ibn Ray'leigh @jack71574535]

Very profound stuff right here. This is the closest thing I've seen to hinting at what a fully realized east asianization of modernity might look like. The universalization of a distinctly east asian anthropotechnics and the secular forms of self-cultivation behind it .

On top of the refrence to india Parallels with buddhism are so uncanny that it makes you wonder how much of an impact these synctretic platonic traditions had on buddhism

[Ibn Ray'leigh @jack71574535]

In the late hellentisc and beyond period of antiquity there was a group of shared broadly platonic traditions whos goal was to attain gnosis through the cultivation of one's nous(intellect/aql)

[Ibn Ray'leigh @jack71574535]

I wonder what the social/ psychological/cultural impact of modernization/development happening through small firms creating massive wealth for ordinary individuals like in china vs chaebol style development like we saw in south korea.

The most dangerous ideas are the ones that are half-right at the wrong scale.
Liberalism is a decent framework for interpersonal ethics but becomes destructive when applied to civilizations. Markets are an efficient signal mechanism at the local level but produce pathological outcomes when treated as a total social philosophy. Even something like individualism coherent as a corrective to oppressive collectivism becomes corrosive when it’s the founding premise rather than a limit on overreach.

The error isn’t in the idea itself but in the domain mismatch taking something true in one register and universalizing it beyond where it has any business operating.

This is actually why Ibn Khaldun is so underrated as a thinker: he was precise about scale. Asabiyyah works at the tribal level, decays at the imperial level, disappears at the cosmopolitan level. He never made the mistake of thinking a mechanism that explains one scale explains all scales.

And it maps onto something i thought about with Islamic methodology; one of the failures of modern Islamic thought might be exactly this: taking juridical tools designed for individual obligation (fiqh) and trying to run civilization-level questions through them, or taking Sufi interiority and mistaking it for a social program.

The question worth asking of any powerful idea: at what scale is this actually true?

Really fascinating stuff going on in Japanese philosophy . I can't even image how you could combine kant and other-power.

[Ibn Ray'leigh @jack71574535]

When you look at how much global socio-economic restructuring happened in the late 80s and early 90s and that we are now in the midst of this again. It's hard to deny that the world does really seem to function on 30 year cycles.

[Ibn Ray'leigh @jack71574535]

I was already warae of this but reflecting on it. It does sound kind of insane to imagine when you think about what this must have looked like.

Bro I’m so confused. I was always made to think that in ancient Islamic society strict modesty was observed and now I just realized topless women were common. Someone make sense of this to me.
