>>24949785I googled it and found this.https://www.paideiainstitute.org/living_latinI already hate it because the cookies popup window had only "accept" as option. I normally click "reject" and when a website only has "accept" or when it's too much work to reject cookies because you have to go through a long list of check boxes, then I normally close the tab and don't come back. This website was too interesting for that though. Fuck them, I'll probably never go back.
Thoughts on the Paideia Institute, is it good for learning? Big minus for forcing you to accept cookies but this looks good I have to say.
>>24945596>>24949785Did you buy a physical copy of Living Latin reader by Paideia?Are Paideia Institute's books available as free downloads? I see nothing on Anna's Archive.
>>24950303I bought a physical. The website looked like aids. It wasn’t expensive, about $13 on Amazon.>>24949785Yeah it’s pretty retarded. It’s apparently supposed to be how one is intended to transition into Latin reading if they did the duolingo course or something. It has margin notes in a way that mimics Orberg sort of. It was kind of a breeze until I hit an unfamiliar enough subject that it was just a wall of unmarked new vocabulary and I got bored. I’ve been too busy with reading French books I’ve been buying in Paris to open it again.It’s amazing though, I did like the most common 100 french words on anki and learned the orthography and I feel like that + my Latin vocab is letting me mostly comprehend a bunch of philosophy books I bought. Thanks Latin!

Maybe read why it emerged in the first place. You can read Tragedy and Hope, for example, if you're interested in the 19th century financial history. In the early 19th century the international bankers, or merchant bankers as they were still called, made a huge amount of money by lending money to industrialists whose factories were rapidly expanding and that required capital for that. However, at the end of the 19th century, the bankers started to notice that the industrialists and big steel corporations etc started to have so much money that they could finance their expansion from their profit margins alone, and no longer needed the services of the merchant bankers. Worried that they'd get cut out from the wealth generation, the merchant bankers started shifting to public sector, by providing liquidity to the governments. They quickly noticed that the most wasteful politicians were the socialists who promised welfare programs to the poor, which of course required a lot of money that the bankers were more than willing to lend. This way they basically made the governments pay taxes to the bankers ensuring the the bankers were at the top of the game once more instead of the industrialists. This is of course 19th century reality and a bit outdated by now, but it still explains why socialists are so eager to seize the means of production, ie the assets of the industrialists. It also explains the early 20th century conflicts between the often protestant industrialists and the often jewish merchant bankers. And why the industrialists tended to lean towards fascism while hitler accused jews for supporting communism. After the world wars the corporate and banking world kind of fused together and this stopped being such an issue for the elites. Though I suppose a new schism is emerging now that the tech giants are threatening the old financial sector with their services, and I guess that explains things like bitcoin, DOGE and all those tech libertarians who try to challenge the big banks with their services. Bankers supporting high taxes is of course nothing new. They can move their assets from place to place with a stroke of a pen, so they often support high taxes on others because they know they can avoid them unlike their rivals. In the republic of florence the medici already realized that, and supported high taxes on the rich aristocrats to gain the support of the lower classes.

>>24950355First, this catholic preacher adds to the text, because I'm following along, when he talked about Isaiah 6, and there's nothing about Purgatory. That's just a catholicism.This catholic preacher is using the Book of Isaiah very strangely. This is all about the time around the Babylonian capture, and this is about the time before. So the unclean lips isn't about the Christian concept of "sin", but the punishment they're taking on, so after they're freed from Bayblon, Israel will be uplifted so high that all the other nations will realize their mistakes and join in worshipping yhwh. That's what the Book of Isaiah is all about.Beyond that, the entire intro is pretty standard cathloic preaching about everyone being sinners, etc. I'm only 2 minutes in, and this isn't what I was expecting. This is some preacher, preaching.The entire concept of "sin" that Isaiah is talking about in chapter 6, is talking about the inadequacy of being part of a theophany, not that Isaiah is a literal sinner. As the rest of the chapter is about saying why they deserve to be taken into Babylon.Though, when I'm 6 minutes in, it's not much different. This is standard catholic preaching. I thought we were going to be doing a deep dive into a complex topic.But to actually talk about the preaching, rather than what was actually interesting(The Book of Isaiah).>Compunction - regret/remorse for past actions, a pricking actionThat's not something you get from religion, but something we evolved to have, as a social species. It's good to regret past mistakes, learn from them, and improve yourself because of them. Were you thinking this was an exclusive ability of a catholic/christian?Don't wait for when you are dying to do these things. Standard advice that every culture has. This just has a catholic/christian theme on it. Before the prayer at the end, it references Numbers 20, when the Israelites were in the desert, after the exodus from Egypt. They drink water from a rock. Fun reference to tie into how your faith will help you do great things, just as yhwh did miracles for his people in their times of need(so long as you do what he says). Since christians think that they're the replacement Israel, it's clever imagery to use.tldr: The regret/remorse you feel, after you make mistakes("sin"), will help you in the future. You'll remember making the mistakes, and the efforts you put into making amends(though for the christian, that means pray and ask for forgiveness, and it never once talks about the actual process of making amends with those you did the mistakes to). The process of making amends may take a long time, and in this time you'll have to live with compunction(the regret/remorse). This will allow you to not make those mistakes("sins") in the future, allowing you to change your ways, and stop being someone who habitually makes mistakes("sins") in your community and with yourself.Next time, no preachers preaching a sermon, and actually dive into the text.

>>24950481direct biblical analysis is more of a protestant thing, down the hall to the left. Scott Hahn who is a calvanist to catholic convert does more directly related scripture analysis (and John Bergsma), you would probably like them. Certainly you can realize that this 12 minute sermon which has no relation to the problem of evil or some surface level argue about the nature of God is indictative of a much deeper and rich spiritual life that one can engage in, which I am referring to.
>>24950493>direct biblical analysis is more of a protestant thing, down the hall to the left.Yeah, catholics and orthodox christians hate reading their book. They let their priests decide what parts they should know.>Scott Hahn who is a calvanist to catholic convert does more directly related scripture analysis (and John Bergsma), you would probably like themDoubtful, but thanks for the suggestions none the less. I much prefer the academic approach.>Certainly you can realize that this 12 minute sermon which [...] is indictative of a much deeper and rich spiritual life that one can engage in, which I am referring to.Certainly you can realize that me typing to the character limit, half discussing the parts of the old testament that the preacher referenced, slightly less than half directly talking about what the preacher was preaching about(compunction and how to use it to stop making mistakes), and a little bit talking about my reaction to what I was watching. That this was engaging with what he pulled references from, and their use or misuse in his sermon. That this was talking directly about what he was trying to teach you, by summarizing what he said, in my own words. Surely you can realize that this "much deeper and rich spiritual life that one can engage in", is just the standard human experience that literally every culture engages in. Certainly you would have seen that I was engaged with the topic, and was able to understand what was being said.>[...] has no relation to the problem of evil or some surface level argue about the nature of God [...]He wouldn't have been able to resolve any of the various problems of evil/suffering in 12 minutes, as it's the #1 deconversion reason for people leaving christianity. Certainly he wouldn't have actually been able to argue about any level of god's nature(surface or not), in 12 minutes. Aquinas likely made the best attempt at discussing the nature of your god(and it took him around 300 pages to discuss everything he felt he needed to in Summa contra Gentiles Book 1), through the negation process, of listing all the things that your god isn't. I'm not aware of anyone doing a better job than Aquinas in the ~1000 years before him or the ~800 years after him. So there's no possible way that a preacher would outdo one of the best writers that christianity ever had.Certainly you can admit that I was able to achieve whatever expectations you had from me watching that sermon. I would say overachieve, but I'll be fine with you admitting that I, at the very least, managed to achieve them. Showing that atheists do understand, even without having the Holy Spirit to guide in all truths.
>>24945026Jesus The Son of Man by Gibran (along with his other works besides The Prophet) imo ought to get more attention than it does.>Once every hundred years Jesus of Nazareth meets Jesus of the Christian in a garden among the hills of Lebanon. And they talk long; and each time Jesus of Nazareth goes away saying to Jesus of the Christian, "My friend, I fear we shall never, never agree".(from Sand and Foam)

>>24949442No it's not. It's an explanation of why people become ideologically possessed and the rotten fruit such bears.
>>24949723Their values are ultimately just Christianity after people stopped being able to take the Bible seriously. Justin Martyr even asserted that Jesus was exceptionally ugly. Christianity is about taking holiness and making it synonymous with weak, oppressed, downtrodden, penurious, and making evil synonymous with the Prince of this World, powers, principalities, the Whore of Babylon (Rome, Babylon).

33: Uncle Tom's Cabin?44: Mill on the Floss?
Not a lot of foreign ones left.Remaining I see 2 Japanese, 2 Russian and a French guy.If I can figure out the language translated from I can spot the 1 French guy.2 passages use Japanese names so those are out easily.48 has that Russian workcamp feel to it to me 68 has refid in it which as far as I know is no English word. Meaning it was left untranslated. Usually this means it was a foreign word in the original. Sounds French which one might think means the work is French but no! It would be translated if everything was French and Russians love using French words in their works.So I say the remaining 51 is Guy de Maupassant
>>24949738And even if refid isn't French but some other foreign word I think it still holds up because snooty Frenchmen would never use a non French word in their writing.
>>24949508>33: Uncle Tom's Cabin?>44: Mill on the Floss?Both correct.

I regularly see threads on JP and Zizek but less commonly Jung and rarely Lacan.I have been reading Lacan on and off throughout the year and it has been pretty revelatory to me. If I were to try to take a stab at summarizing Lacan for anons that haven’t studied him, basically everything is fake and gay, anything not fake and gay is real, and >you are a subject beneath the fake and gay but not exactly a 1:1 product of the fake and gay. Your motif should be to recognize that to understand the real through anything fake and gay is impossible, therefore traverse the fake and gay knowing it’s fake and gay in accordance to your desire(TM). If anyone with more experience in Lacanian thought disagrees with my shit take, feel free to correct. Question: Why is Lacan not talked about as often as Freud and Jung are, or perhaps in general? Is his thought too subversive? Is it because he’s French? Pic related, worst mistake of my life

I've noticed that a lot of sophist philosophizing is based around this concept of "nonexistence". But it seems obvious that "nonexistence" just isn't a real thing right?How can something exist that by its own definition does not exist? It's just a nonsense idea made up of circular reasoning. There cannot exist a thing that doesn't exist. Everything that exists exists and there is nothing else. Existence by definition is an all encompassing concept. You can't logically accept that things exist and then turn around and say there are things that don't.And logically the concept of nonexistence is already nonsensical but if you believe in determinism the idea really just gets defeated many times over.

>>24948069Oh hey, that post was me.>personally, i find it telling that in pierce's ideal world, two whole continents are rendered uninhabitableIIRC he had to basically write the last quarter or third of the book in quite a rush. Deadlines for a magazine or something like that.> i was told this was the work that radicalized timothy mcveigh.McVeigh came back with some anti-fed baggage from the Gulf War (among other things, he had personally witnessed the Highway of Death) and then was fully radicalized by the events of Waco and Ruby Ridge and had no real connection to white nationalism/white separatism/neo-nazism/etc. He had some association with the fringe right but mostly the anti-government flavor, though there were plenty of racialist armed groupd in that space as well. Pretty much all of those organizations went tits-up in the 90s when the FBI to start paying more attention to them, but sadly I have never found a decent treatment of this interesting and uniquely American cultural phenomenon.Ultimately my two cents, having looked into this quite a bit in the past, is mostly that he viewed the book similarly to how I outlined it - as a list of suggestions for effective acts of terrorism against the federal government, and that he picked the biggest one he thought he could manage. The connection and inspiration is undeniable but despite plenty of looking I've been unable to turn up any evidence that he associated in any significant way with racialist or "hate" groups.>i doubt it. it's just not good.As literature? It's adolescent at best. In a broader context, I find it fascinating.
