>>24681798Literature surpasses Philosophy, because literature is art, it evolves. Philosophers have spent the last 3000 years trying to understand what can't be understood. Which is why we ask the same questions as plato, it is a pointless endeavor. That is why it has been replaced by what is truly important: Music, Literature, Poetry, Theater, Cinema, and Visual arts. There is more value in Rembrandt than in Plato.

>>24682221>>24682268As a non-Amerilard, whenever I read RFK, I just think of this mfr. Can you stop doing this with your presidents and VPs? Thank you. (Expecting you personally to do something about it)
>>24682268>The action the new leader had in mind was bold, even revolutionary. Jobs would be created by ‘direct recruiting by the Government itself, treating the task as we would treat the emergency of a war’; men would be put to work on ‘greatly needed projects to stimulate and reorganize the use of our natural resources’. At the same time, to correct what he called ‘the overbalance of population in our industrial centres’, there would be a ‘redistribution’ of the workforce ‘to provide a better use of the land for those best fitted for the land’. >He would introduce a system of ‘national planning for and supervision of all forms of transportation and of communications and other utilities’ and ‘a strict supervision of all banking and credits and investments’ to bring ‘an end to speculation with other people’s money’ – measures that won enthusiastic cheers from his audience.>Who was this demagogue who so crudely blamed the Depression on corrupt financiers, who so boldly proposed state intervention as the cure for unemployment, who so brazenly threatened to rule by decree if the legislature did not back him, who so cynically used and re-used the words ‘people’ and ‘Nation’ to stoke up the patriotic sentiments of his audience? The answer is Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the speech from which all the above quotations are taken was his inaugural address as he assumed the American presidency on March 4, 1933.>Less than three weeks later, another election victor in another country that had been struck equally hard by the Depression gave a remarkably similar speech, beginning with a review of the country’s dire economic straits, promising radical reforms, urging legislators to transcend petty party-political thinking and concluding with a stirring call for national unity. The resemblances between Adolf Hitler’s speech to the newly elected Reichstag on March 21, 1933, and Roosevelt’s inaugural address are indeed a great deal more striking than the differences.He's literally Hitler (He saved your country)
>>24681800Additionally ideas are always tightly integrated with the people they originated from. An extremely obvious example is how fat acceptance is an idea thought of by fat people. But this applies to all ideas, including good ones.
>>24681798It's pretty ironic if you think about it. I'm seeing a quote which expresses an interesting idea, and this quote makes me want to discuss the idea it expresses, but at the same time it's a quote from a specific person. So discussion of the idea is necessarily tied to discussion of the person.

>>24681875But all that is getting replaced by AI, which is made possible by logic, which is really the purest form of philosophy
