In my experience people who go in for stuff like this aren't interested in philosophy they're interested in "mysticism" and a pretentious, narcissistic form of self-help. Also
>no Aristotle
Definitely ngmi. This class of pseuds always shits on Aristotle. There's no way the typical stoner who makes lists like this is actually able to read the Phenomenology of Spirit and you see proof of this in every Hegel thread.

Wagner played Siegfried’s Funeral March when he died. Wagner who by the way, and perhaps contrary to public perception, had highly tolerant views, siding with the Negro in America and finding their plight touching and of profound significance.

>>24737559
>Records state that Wagner's conversations with Gobineau during the philosopher's five-week stay at Wahnfried in 1881 were punctuated with frequent arguments. Cosima Wagner's diary entry for June 3rd recounts one exchange in which Wagner 'positively exploded in favour of Christianity as compared to racial theory'. Gobineau believed, unlike Wagner, that the Irish (whom he considered a 'degenerate' race) should be ruled by the English (a Nordic race). The entry for May 18th reads: 'In the evening a quarrel develops between the Count and him about the Irish, whom Gob. declares to be incapable of working. R. becomes very angry, says he would not work under such conditions, either, and he castigates the English aristocracy. The Count goes so far in his ideas as to reproach the Gospels for interceding in behalf of the poor. But it all ends very amicably, R. admits that he does not know the problem in detail, and the Count says to him, “Vous voyez la chose en philosophe et moi en homme d’affaires” [“You view the matter like a philosopher and I like a businessman”].'

>>24737570
To be fair you don't have to be racist to talk like that. Us Europeans have a lot of prejudice against our neighbours and saying that "the Irish are incapable of working" is like vanilla tier table conversation content.

He fell in love with her after he married her. It is well documented. Also some say they never had sex. I'm not sure about that. Lewis was a weird guy although I like him.

She moved to the United Kingdom and ended up needing a visa to stay. I'm not sure if she was sick at that time, but I think Lewis said they got married primarily for that reason and it ended up developing into more before her untimely death. It sounds like a put up with some shit too, considering he then adopted her two sons, one of whom was schizophrenic and iirc had random outbursts of violence and ended up in a mental hospital.

IDK, this Boomer I know who knows philosophy really well says Aristotle's logic and ideas on science are completely outmoded. He said the need to posit properties as things is why we got metaphysics, which is just random woo and God talk speculation and that Wittgenstein debunked most of this stuff.

Logic now is apparently much more powerful and better.

>>24737623
> He said the need to posit properties as things is why we got metaphysics, which is just random woo and God talk speculation and that Wittgenstein debunked most of this stuff.
But Aristotle did not think that properties were things, he exploded that sort of crude metaphysics so thoroughly that he banished it from Western thought, even Platonists got the message. Our logic is more powerful and better in its own sphere but Aristotle's logic has nothing to do with it, it's a philosophical logic like Kant's or Hegel's, mixed up with metaphysics, and in A's case it's really about epistemology not argumentation (Topics and SE excepted obviously). This so-called "Boomer" you know has not read much Aristotle, or probably any pre-20th century thought.

What is so great about it? I found reading the gospels to be rather flat and unaffecting.

>>24737744
>this isn't something a bunch of writers, much less a bunch of fishermen and workers could invent
I wouldn't use the word invent because I don't believe any religions (with the exception of mormonism) are founded by one person or persons who just came up with a story. However, I do hold the view that the gospel accounts are not eyewitness testimonies but are instead the collation of various memories and oral traditions about Christ from the first century. There are other gospels for example that have not survived such as the Secret Gospel of Mark or the infamous Q source that were not sufficiently preserved. We know very little about what they contained and where they originated from

>>24736265
Maybe Odysseus or Herakles

>>24737780
They would be less coherent if they were just that. And even liberal scholars accept a dating as early as 70 AD and this is merely because they can't accept the temple destruction prophecy. Even by the 70 AD there were still a bunch of eyewitnesses of events 40 years prior, this without taking into account st. Paul's early writings

The apostles themselves had disciples as successors and they could easily verify each other's testimonies, same for st Paul and his disciples

>>24737825
>They would be less coherent if they were just that.
But they're not coherent that's the problem. There are abundant differences between them. Things like the penetinent thief being referred to in one accoutn whereas in others it says both thieves mocked Christ. Or the inconsitences with what Jesus said on the cross and the order in which he said them. There is also contradictions as to how Jesus meets the apostles. John doesn't even agree with the synoptics as to how many years Jesus' ministry lasted

What man would want to be with a woman superior to himself (other than a nigger)? Not only that but also one that gave you immortality. What gift could possibly pay that back? She would hate you from day one of the relationship basically and treat you like a garbage can. That's what happens in any relationship if you're a pathetic loser man. The more achievements you made in your life, the more women will respect you. They view men from a purely social lense and, because of their very inferiority complex towards manhood, loser men to them are no more worth than dogs and roaches.
tldr if you want to dominate women make achievements in your life

He had children with both, although one child died at an early age.

Finally, after months of arguing with you faggots, something we can agree on. I won't even suggest Schoppie is plagiarizing because I know that niggie didn't get past page 5 of the Logic.

"Nothing, it is said, is only the absence of being, darkness thus only the absence of light, cold only absence of heat, and so on. And darkness only has meaning in relation to the eye, in external comparison with the positive factor, light, and similarly cold is only something in our sensation; on the other hand, light and heat, like being, are objective, active realities on their own account, and are of quite another quality and dignity than this negative, than nothing. One can often find it put forward as a weighty reflection and an important piece of information that darkness is only the absence of light, cold only absence of heat. About this acute reflection in this field of empirical objects, it can be observed that darkness does in fact show itself active in light, determining it to colour and thereby imparting visibility to it, since, as was said above, just as little is seen in pure light as in pure darkness. Visibility, however, is effected in the eye, and the supposed negative has just as much a share in this as the light which is credited with being the real, positive factor; similarly, cold makes its presence known in water, in our sensations etc., and if we deny it so-called objective reality it is not a whit the worse for our doing so. But a further objection would be that here, too, as before, it is a negative with a determinate content that is spoken of, the argument is not confined to pure nothing, to which being, regarded as an empty abstraction, is neither inferior nor superior. But cold, darkness, and similar determinate negations are to be taken directly as they are by themselves and we shall then see what we have thereby effected in respect of their universal determination which has led them to be introduced here. They are supposed to be not just nothing but the nothing of light, heat, etc., of something determinate, of a content; thus they are a determinate, a contentful, nothing if one may so speak. But, as will subsequently appear, a determinateness is itself a negation, and so they are negative nothings; but a negative nothing is an affirmative something. The conversion of nothing through its determinateness (which previously appeared as a determinate being in a subject thinker, or in some other form) into an affirmative, appears to the consciousness which is fixed in the abstraction of the understanding as the acme of paradox; the insight that the negation of the negation is something positive, simple as it is, or rather because of its very simplicity, appears as a triviality to which haughty understanding need pay no heed..." - Hegel SoL 168 (cont'd)

Imagine finding yourself an Aryan wife and become a rancher "colonizer style" in SA. Isolated from the urbanites and pretty much everyone else, save other farmers, for the ranch will provide with everything necessary through nothing but hard labour only.

>Why do you want feedback?
To get better. Also to learn more about how writers operate, as I have no formal training. Most good writers do. I'm not vying to become one of the greats, but I enjoy reading, and it's tough to understand just enough to see artistry but too stupid to learn and perfect your own work.

Most importantly though, the few times I've gotten feedback have drastically improved my writing, and I want more of that.

>>24737169
Interesting. I feel that with my friends sometimes. Unfortunately, I'm not well versed enough with the nuts-and-bolts to make those decisions on my own; I'm still struggling with basics and need feedback to point out my big shortcomings.

>>24737220
I guess I could try this. I was under the impression that getting published was extremely hard and that your work had to be flawless to even be considered.

>>24736687
Thanks, my friend.

>>24737169
I think you shouldn't trust one person feedback. It's much better to have a big sample of people feedbacks, and then trying to find common criticisms between them. If many people have the same complain, it's likely a real flaw.

>>24736680
I could but it seems to me that, with how much I still have left to learn, paying a professional is something to do once I sort out the bigger issues with my writing. Their training is better suited for spotting errors with my rhythm and flow, not the fact that I use adverbs too frequently.

You should learn Latin and ancient Greek. Why? I don't know but all the greats studied those languages which implies a correlation worth of an investigation. It's also likely not a coincidence that the average writer wrote significantly better in the past.

>>24736558
I mean, of course blog wouldn't get any views if you don't have a blog. I suppose you need to reach out through different channels and hand-pick people interested in writing who also aren't too cringe and cultivate a relationship, as you would with friends.
I'm lead to believe that a platform like a blog is the only way you are making it in todays market anyway.

Also, I'm confused about you being afraid of doxing, yet wanting readers
