No you

Just chiming in to say I'm glad there's a thread about actual reading here. Even just for the sake of the mental exercise Aristotle is worth it, but also of course for the foundation of much of philosophy after.

>>24732627
>and hopefully my statement makes sense here
>Is that like saying the infinite simplicter cannot exist as a substance because it would be necessarily limited by the account of its essence?

I think so. Moreover, based on what I read on On the Soul, Aristotle seems to think that intellect (including human intellect) is potentially able to apprehend all the forms, and this apprehension implies that the intellect, which has no form by default, adopts the form of the apprehended concept. But, of course, it couldn't adopt the form of infinity, because it has no form, and this is something we can test internally when trying to think of infinity. So its lack of intelligibility is an additional sign (not a proof, though) that infinity can't be a substance.

However, I'm not as sure of this as with my previous post, I'm no expert in Aristotle, so take it with a grain of salt.

Aristotle be doing dat greek maff wit lines an sheiiiit

>>24732627(me)
>Maybe I should include the whole paragraph.
I guess the point of the paragraph is just to say there can't be an infinite regress of forms/formal causes.

Why do people say that there can be infinite unmoved movers? Is it that the would each correspond to their own seperate universe, or would they all be in the same universe?

i bought one because they're the only e-reader available in my country for a reasonable price

they don't get dusty in a shelf and don't take any space, also makes it easier to move to other places without carrying a fuckton of books.

Also e-readers in general allow you to read in the dark without a LCD screen fucking your eyes up

what if they're using it for nefarious purposes and the most ethical response we could have is suicide oh snap

>>24733294
If you were to commit suicide it's have been planned by the simulators, there is literally nothing unexpected anyone can do inside a real simuation, this isn't the matrix. Our universe's simulators know every single action we're gonna take.

If the universe were a simulation, then argumentation would be impossible, for knowledge is required for argumentation, and knowledge requires a self which can't be within a simulation.

I wonder if books about saving books are an entire genre. I've been thinking about how Fahrenheit 451 basically tricked readers into feeling good about themselves, because the point was that (you) were already saving literature in a way by reading f451.

Thats a good question. I havent thought of it in that way. Kind of like a positive reinforcement.

EVERYBODY'S birth rates are going down, China's are even worse than ours. White people aren't going to particularly and uniquely go extinct, there's just going to be less people of every race in general.

Ironically, White people might do better than some races 100 or 200 years from now because we've got the Amish, the Mormons, and the TradCaths on our side, aka the White people that don't use birth control.

>>24733275
Back in the 90s it was widely believed that the Eastern Bloc becoming western liberal democracies is what had just happened

>>24733297
That’s true but white people face the unique challenge of the fact that their mixed offspring are not white. In the future there is only going to be more and more miscegenation, the global decline of birth rates doesn’t counteract this - it merely means white people are not going to be wholesale replaced by a foreign race but by their own mutt progeny. Future of Earth is basically planet Brazil, a more white adjacent aristocracy ruling a more black adjacent underclass.

>>24733307
Eh, I don't know. To me, the future of the Earth is basically the past: a return to the Ancient and Medieval worlds with kingdoms, empires, and republics everywhere and no major hegemons. No global empire, America's is collapsing and the Chinese don't really want one.

>>24733322
The world is so interconnected now that any major power is inherently a global power. It’s not about the world being led in one ideological direction or another, it’s that the economic centre of gravity becomes a unifying force just by necessity.
There’ll still be mass migration, multinational corporations, global academic collaboration, and ceaseless technological innovation. The world will only get smaller and smaller, short of an apocalyptic event.

The truth of this book is much more profound and devastating. Women go mad if they aren't the most special, amazing thing that ever existed, and since most women are, in fact, annoying and mediocre, they go mad unless their sanity is curated for them by a man who has to diligently work thanklessly maintaining the facade that he's unbelievably lucky to be with some saggy tit cunt who can't cook because she's so whimsical with such special insight. Ironically, Sylvia Plath was special because she was one of the only ones to ever recognise it to any degree.

The Bell Jar was sort of boring. Pic related was much more interesting. Her poetry is so beautiful and evocative. The Bell Jar is much more dry. I admire her for the way she describes her unstable emotional landscape and I relate to her greatly.

she was an excellent poet is all im gonna say about that novel
