/lit/ is a haven for burnt-out intellectuals.

Its too easy nowadays to make it big. You gotta be pretty dumb to think college is a worthy investment. Go learn math and computer science and you should be making $40/hour within a year unless you're retarded. Students who are "intelligent enough to choose to work hard" are "intelligent enough" to know this already and would rather learn something as simple as computer science and "choose to work hard" with their knowledge of CS. They don't need to go to college to be told what to study when all that info is a click away. If they go to school for something gay like literature than of course they're bound to drop out and they're probably retarded anyways. Why do you need to go to school to be told to reach Plato? Just fucking do it without spending 40,000 a year.

>I thought lit was the board that had smart people.
It, like every board, probably has some, but that doesn't stop it from having its fair share of idiots/failures too.

>Why is there little to no analytic philosophy?
cause that shit's for fags

Too boring to be honest. At least continentals know they're sophists and go for entertaining nonsense. Analytics pretend to be scientists and go for entertaining nonsense.

One of the modal axioms its based on is dubious, either S4 or S5. I don't remember.

you remember those days hangin out at the village green.......... engineer boots leather jacket and tight blue jeans

both premises are vague (and dubious under most interpretations)

If you don't like it, then just fucking don't

If you're reading in Italian, you're in for one of the top four or five literary experiences of your life.

If you're reading in translation, you're wasting your time.

In either case, I would read Aquinas' Summa Theologica either before you read Dante or immediately afterwards. The Divine Comedy has been called "the Summa in verse".

Actually Sam Hyde did it in this 2-hour long talk he gave at Rutgers University: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Hkov3QcCpQ

Most people who have not studied the disciplines of pure mathematics, or brain surgery, or rocket science, will usually be quite reluctant to pronounce on any aspect of these disciplines, since they are completely ignorant of them.

Despite this, most people seem to have no problem pronouncing on philosophical issues, despite being totally ignorant of the discipline.

Why is this?

Because Philosophy is feelz > realz

I liked the clouds better.

I don't think this new cover really 'fits.'

But I don't absolutely hate it.

i guess it goes with the white covers of consider the lobster and the pale king

the clouds were iconic though w.t.f.

Jesus is the Incarnation. As Jesus is/was the incarnation, he was the physical manifestation of the second person of the trinity, containing within himself both a fully divine and a fully human nature. Thus, yes, he was fully man, and fully God.

>>7511211
Sidenote: this is known as Hypostasis, it is one of the 'pillars' of Christianity. To not affirm hypostasis/the trinity is basically to not be a Christian, this doctrine was formulated at the council of Chalcedon and affirmed by most/all others.

>>7511211
But was god still outside of space and time sort of overseeing the events of Jesus on earth? Did gos in some way have to temporarily "abandon his throne" if you will, to incarnate himself and experience reality from the perspective of Jesus? Does that question make sense? The Trinity is highly confusing to me
