>Over time, “épicurien” in French stopped meaning “follower of Epicurus” in a strict philosophical sense and came to mean "a person who enjoys refined pleasures, especially good food and drink".Quite possibly one of the most rekt philosophers of all time in terms of people who haven't read a single word he wrote completely misinterpreting him.
Yeah, it completely shits over his philosophy."Platonic" is funny tho.
>>25232279I literally couldn’t care less.Language changes over time, get over it.But Epicurus’ paradox is evergreen.It has made generations of feeble-minded fanatics seethe.
>>25232279No they definitely still understood him with how much it made christkeks seethe.
>>25232456it made them so mad they used epicurean to mean a vain eater
>>25232279Blame the Christcucks, who destroyed his writings, and have been twisting his message since the time of Constantine.
Earlier during the 1500s and 1600s Epicurean was used by the church to mean atheist or a godless person (even though the degree of Epicurus' godlessness is debatable) and dissemination of his or Lucretius' writings could land you into serious trouble, as one Italian writer they burned at the stake found out.
>>25232279Ok. I'll read epicurus. But first, I just realized this, the format of the captcha Is likely data that's going to make machine learning better at mimicking your apprehension of shapes/letters/birds etc..Each time you solve the captcha it makes AI stronger. My captcha "expired" writing this.
>>25232279> who haven't read a single word he wrote completely misinterpreting him.Doesn't matter, its a faggot philosophy for faggots all the same.
>>25232548>Blame the Christcucks, who destroyed his writingsOr he was just too much of a retard to be worth preserving in any official capacity lol
>>25232441Very easy to break this paradox by saying he does not prevent suffering because suffering serves some greater purpose that humans cannot understand in their life on earth. Or, even simpler, you could just say he granted us free will. Honestly what a retarded "paradox"
>>25233403>my good god gives cancer to children because of le mysterious ways
>>25233403>he does not prevent suffering because suffering serves some greater purpose that humans cannot understand in their life on earthSo God is Satan and needs to be destroyed.
>>25232441Yeah it degenerates, becomes obscure, poisoned, and retarded. Spawns retards like you.
>>25233403You can use this sort of thinking to justify just about anything. But if god truly was both omnipotent and good then there is no reason why he could not create a world that contained both free will and no suffering.
>>25232441>"alright fags, you were warned. You're on your own now. Peace.">WTF, why isn't God saving my ass anymore??Truly evil.
>>25233882Adam and Eve were warned, what sin have we committed to deserve their punishment?
