I did not read this particular dialogue but it's pretty obvious that the >implication is that even if these craftsmen make mistakes, they do so not out of malice or incompetence, but because such things are inevitable therefore it's foolish to consider them such.

I don't think that's what they were getting at, but thanks!

>a doctor and a mathematician can make mistakes,

A doctor can make mistakes, i.e. scalpeling the wrong organ, but surely a mathematician can't. The mathematician discovers mathematics.
If he's making a mistake it must either be in his own calculations or a fault in the fabric of his doctrine.

IDK

I don't think we actually get any points for reading gay ass greek things.

If you're new to Philosophy you might as well skip the greeks, they're redundant now anyway.

Shadows are falling
And I been here all day
It's too hard to sleep
And time is stealing away
Feels like my soul has
Turned into steel
I still got the scars
That time didn't heal

They really changed the medium

Definitely Undertale

I hope a computer programmer wins next year. Code is 'written,' either expertly or badly, and expertly written code is aesthetically pleasing. Give it to one of the Assassin's Creed guys. Ben Davis. Give it to Ben Davis. He writes, he's an artist. Code is literature.

Have you tried AbeBooks or eBay?

We all know that the nobel prize only goes to novelists, right?

>>8616122
If that were the case they'd call it the Novel Prize you cuck.

>I want to lift heavier weight, what should I do?
>I want to swim longer distances, what should I do?
>I want to be a better basketball player, what should I do?
>I want to be better at talking to girls, what should I do?

does this line of questioning not annihilate your post?

the answer, ofc, is to read more. Any book you find a struggle to read simply put down. There is some level of book you can read (clearly this includes 1984 for example); read those. If you want suggestions, it would be helpful to have a list of a half-dozen or so books you've read that you've enjoyed.

as an aside, I wouldn't worry that you've been "ruined" by video games or tv. the issue with these mediums (in relation to reading) is that for many people they fulfill or eclipse the desire or motivation to read. You clearly have that motivation as evidenced by this post, so you have the ability.

what books do you enjoy

you seem to believe that your maths experience has ruined your taste for this book, but what books has it not ruined for you?

>>8615230
op said the last book he actually read was 'Crime and Punishment' in 09. Hasn't read anything since I'm guessing,

>Is it normal that a person doing a PhD in pure mathematics finds Dosteyevski's book "The Karamazov" so boring?
No, usually pure mathematics implies a degree of intelligence as opposed to retardation.

>>8615188
Any way you like. Convincing others that your method and views are worth taking note of is the hard part.

Mistakes of the subhumans.

They immediately interpret the idea of subjectivity as giving them free reign to support any viewpoint that they want, no matter how incoherent, ignorant and wretched. Sure, the ant too has its own perspective of things, and therefore its own subjective reality, but who gives a shit about the reality of an ant? The greater the man the greater — and hence the more objective — his perspective, and therefore the idea of subjectivity does not undermine the absolute rule of inequality in the universe but is precisely the mechanism by which it comes about.

>but who gives a shit about the reality of an ant?
I do. What now?

I believe Dylan is literary and a fine poet but I still think there were other people more, not necessarily worthy, but..idk, in taste I guess to award the Nobel to. Everyone and their grandma knows who Dylan is, his place in the canon of culture is cemented.

He's the best beat by all means. Not much else.

His lyrics are good I guess but I don't think they come close to even an average poet
