@PaoloMiasma@_sevatar@growing_daniel You need to get off reddit man. If you didn't know that the classical/scholastic arguments for God presume an eternal universe (eg St. Thomas didn't believe it was possible to prove a chronological origin by reason, only by revelation) then you're just ngmi
Mark Normand is the funniest working comedian in the game.
They did a show where they intentionally set him up with the worst possible easily offended audience (Gen Z girls) and saw how he handled it.
Comedy gold. 😂

if you want to see the world as Plato did, find the nearest shadow.
focus on the partition between the light and the shadow. contemplate the nature of the shadow as the absence of light.
now shift your focus to the nearest object. consider its shape. how do you know this shape? what is the conceptual shape of the physical shape in front of you?
find another object and compare it to the prev object. how do you intuit the difference between the two? what is the conceptual shape of the physical difference? trace the process by which you derive the conceptual difference: physical object to physical shape to conceptual shape to conceptual difference.
now focus on the structure of difference itself. notice how “heavy” it is, how it contains in itself all difference. not just between the physical shapes of objects, but also the shapes of actions, experiences, and ideas.
finally, go back to the shadow. notice how the light illuminates the objects around it and makes intelligible both their shapes and the difference between them.
if difference is a concept, then what is light as a concept? and what is the relation between the two?
this is the allegory of the cave.
