I typically won't spend more than $10 for a folio or any modern post war book. It's a good idea to look in second hand shops, nearly all of my folios were cheap, some as low as .50 cents. The exceptions were gibbon and the anatomy of melancholy which were 30 and 50.

To add to what you're saying, Ehrman is pretty clear on the differences between the Greek version of Thomas, which seems more similar to the Canonical Gospels in certain ways, and the Coptic version, which is more obviously Gnosticizing in a later developed way.

Bait? Bakker says pretty much exactly what the OP does, and that humans commit their greatest atrocities out of misguided idealism/beliefs. Yes he also touches on a few of the points also raised by this anon >>24626274, but man's contradictory, self-deceptive nature doesn't mean that idealism cannot exist. Clearly even in today's world, with all the knowledge of our inner operations that neuroscience has given us in the last few decades, the brain STILL manages to outpace us with its lies, and people still genuinely believe in their delusions (and that includes you and me)

>>trains as an assassin
The Night King first of all should not exist. Secondly, Arya's "training" in Braavos is a mummer's farce, she never fully committed to it and the fact she killed one of their own and just got to leave makes no sense. And in my retarded opinion it should have been the Kingslayer.

>Season 8's ending being mediocre on top of being rushed
It was obvious D&D were done with telling GoT's story, so they rushed it towards the end, disregarding the original story.
The Dance of Dragon's book had massive open ends within the story.
Barristan Selmy taking control of the defenses of the city of Meereen.
Victarion Greyjoy with Moqorro, and his Iron fleet, aligning himself with Danaerys, sailing towards the defence of Meereen.
Aegon Targaryan landing in Southern-Westeros with the Golden Company, possibly being aided by the Martell family in Dorne.
Lady Stoneheart capturing and hanging Brienne and Jaime Lannister.
The Manderly house telling Davos that the North remembers it's betrayals and the Frey's and Bolton's will be getting their due punishment.

Why do materialists seethe at him?
Anyways, Kastrup engages with Schopenhauer so he's gotta be somewhat sympathetic to some chud ideals. God i hate that word. Internet mind poison.

>>24628566
>he's gotta be somewhat sympathetic to some chud ideals.
No he definitely is. I had a professor friend who had an email correspondence with him once and he said Bernardo would make very suggestive jokes about never going south because of all the “monkeys” let loose in france, and on another occasion call Marx “massa of the academic monkeys.”

>>24628566
Yeah he pulls from Schopenhauer. As well as Jung, analytic philosophy (obviously), as well as eastern metaphysics.
I’ve only read his most recent book so far and while I don’t agree with everything he says I still respect his ideas.

I was surprised to see that some sentences have no capital first letter in Cambridge Latin Course and Oxford Latin Course. Why?

>>24628384
They're only capitalizing proper nouns. The most likely reason is they don't want you to mistake a common noun at the beginning of a sentence for a proper noun. ("Who is this character named Coquus?")

>>24628384
There isn't really any rule for capitalization in Latin. Sometimes it's the beginning of every sentence, or sometimes just the beginning of every paragraph, or sometimes only proper nouns. Depends on the publisher and the book

>>24628439
Clear capitalization rules are only fairly recent anyways. Even as late as the 18th century you see weird things (like the US Constitution)

P.s. russoids can beat chest, seethe and cope all they like but "Stalin's death' is forbidden in their free democratic state.

Maybe if you stopped with all the needless killing and bloodshed, they wouldn't have written all those articles. I still remember when me and my parents were watching the news and they showed footage of millennials violently murdering a big mac. I literally cried all day that day.
All the articles we ever get are about how we don't get laid, because we're not animals like you.

Why does it look like a mind map that would be hung up in a detective's office in a 1940's noir film?

I think it's because of shorter attention spans and instant gratification from social media and constant use of electronics.

Public education is a sham and all that's required is rote regurgitation of the materials - overassigned - which never allow for one to have the time to explore one's interests, and never do anything in depth to satisfy a happenstance intellectual passion. Zoomer's are their Gen X parents children-- it's bullshit and not for the overwhelming mass of them.

please elaborate. I've wondered for years if slop was just YA, or just webnovels, or just anything without enough description. I need to know the true nature of slop. It's made me stop writing for want of finding the true nature of cringe, edge, slop, all these terms. Are things just doomed to fall into one of the three categories after 20 years? Darkly Dreaming Dexter, Red Dragon, both successful but criticized for being edgy. Will I just end up being the same inevitably?
