If Marx rebirth and sees all those atrocities that were committed under his name. What would he do? Would he kill himself.

>read Plato
>bored to death as he spends 80 pages wondering whether names are just labels or reflect the true nature of things
1. I've mentioned this in passing and apart from being insulted by people, nobody has defended this. Can someone explain this? This is just fucking stupid.
Hard mode: Don't scream some obviously BS "literary interpretation".
Hard mode: Don't say something desperate like, "Well clearly Plato taking a shit was an essential precursor to Mathematical physics in the year 2000!"
2. The Greeks seem so naive, as if they believe that "The Official Objective Morality (to)" will pop up out of thin air if they discuss it hard enough. Similarly with the answer to the above question. How the HELL do contemporary philosophers get away with it? Why does nobody call them out?
Why is it that when you point this out, or mention that modern philosophy is only one out of infinitely many viewpoints, you get abused?

They get away with it because they're working with the very beginnings of "advanced" philosophy in their society. They are building the memes that philosophers after them built their works on.

>Why is it that when you point this out, or mention that modern philosophy is only one out of infinitely many viewpoints, you get abused?
>infinitely many viewpoints
The basic premise of postmodernism is that all viewpoints are equal. Most universities and current philosophers are postmodern, thus no objective truth exists according to these schools of thought. Still, postmodernism is inherently contradictionary. Any attempt to debate on postmodernism in an academic setting goes like this:
>a:all viewpoints are equal
>b:I disagree on that
>a:Then you're wrong!!
>b:how can my viewpoint be wrong if you said that all viewpoints are equal?
>a:Stop mansplaining you fascist nazi!!!
>b: But it goes against logic since you contradict yourself
>a: "logic" was just an invention by men and used to oppress womyn
Sadly, politics has overtaken universities, liberals study philosophy to feel elitist and/or more intellectual than their peers. So, no questioning of the point of it all is allowed.

>>2260343
Not sure if you're insulting me but I'm not saying that all viewpoints are equal, only that infinitely many exist.
Also if we all started to have a debate about which criteria to use when judging viewpoints, there would still be infinitely many and the criteria for the criteria would have the same issues.

This guy has been feared by many of his time as one of the main possibilities of taking over via armed coup, and being successful at it. FDR noted him as 'one of the most dangerous men in America'.
What would America have looked like under Dugout Doug?

East Asian people evolved for tens of thousands of years on the steppes of Central Asia before being chased out into modern-day China and Japan due to decreasing rains.
As a result, they maintain an atavistic Lamarckian node of memory that both animates their dreams and haunts their nightmares.
Asians, what is it like to dream of open steppes that you have never visited before, but can see just as clearly as though they surrounded you?
What is it like to dream of "The Great Thirst" that drove your people across the mountain ranges of western China? Or when you dream of empty streams and dying horses?
There are many accounts of far-flung Asians (like Japanese-Brazilians) visiting the steppes of Kazakhstan for the first time, and collapsing to their knees with overflowing tears, as though they have returned to a homeland of their dreams.
Asians, what is it like to bear along these ancestor memories of grasslands and endless steppes that constantly intrude into your mindspace?

I know how ridiculous the title looks but how does one really stops being impulsive and in general really using his brain. And can you overwhelm yourself if you think too much/read too much?

Was the Wirtschaftswunder a meme?
I don't know whose authority to trust, were they just a bunch of blundering idiots who didn't do shit/sweep everything under the rug/not employ anybody, or did they virtually eliminate unemployment?

These two are not mutualy exclusive. They eliminated unemployment by eliminating people from workforce.

That we really know anything about him. Plutarch and Arrian might be decent historians (or, well, Plutarch was a decent storyteller), but they wrote so many centuries after he lived that he is shrouded in uncertainty

And what of the men of letters, scribes, etc. whom he surrounded himself with? I feel like that would've allowed us more insight into him.
