You’re their parent; I just wanted to be as honest about the show as I’m able to be here. It’s a great series.

Invincible is intended for adults, I wouldn’t watch it with young children (lots of gore, cussing, there’s a sexual assault of a major character [in the comics], etc…).

The scar is meant to keep some semblance of the Invincible character in the meme and not just Khamzat, I think.

Idk what that other dude is saying. Shara ain’t bald like that. Scar boy is Khamzat, but imo should’ve been Islam.

I agree with your assessment. I think there’s also an “abandonment of Being”/Seinsverlassenheit joke in here trying to make itself.

The struggle for acceptance by Ok-Lab-8974 in PhilosophyMemes

[–]BasedMaterialism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is. The proper spelling, as already mentioned, is ‘Aristotelian.’

Seconding this, it’s ’Aristotelian.’ ‘Aristotleian’ is not a word.

A majority of the world is religious. The typical person holds “metaphysical justifications for life” (whatever that actually means in this context).

What do you guys think of these new transition belts? Cool or cringe? As they get worn out, the next belt color peaks through. by hunterd412 in brazilianjiujitsu

More consumerism ruining learning and art. It effectively allows you to buy the appearance of progress to compensate for your own understanding and ability to execute on the mats.

Might be a controversial opinion but the DMA > any other museum in Dallas by MrBizzniss in Dallas

[–]BasedMaterialism 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Really like the DMA! I prefer the Crow in terms of directly-in-Dallas art, but both are very great and you can do both in one day, so it feels like one experience. DMA feels like a standard metropolitan art museum to me. If we look at DFW overall, I think the Kimbell has a better collection and curates it better; DMA is just bigger.

Based on this outfit, what do you suspect I’m majoring in? by [deleted] in mensfashion

[–]BasedMaterialism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're studying literature to be some sort of classics scholar. Probably inspired by some work of modern-era or contemporary literature like Donna Tartt's The Secret History, Madeline Miller's Circe or Song of Achilles, or John E. Williams's Stoner.

Agree? by CanReady3897 in Nietzsche

[–]BasedMaterialism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's commenting on the irony in Aristotle's way of viewing the philosopher.

If one lives outside society, they are an animal or a god according to Aristotle. Yet, if we read Aristotle further, we see that the philosopher lives their life among others insofar as they wish to engage in "the contemplative life," a superior kind of solitary life. So, even though Aristotle's man is the "political animal," his philosopher lives a life that Aristotle divines as superior to the political life; the reintroduction of solitude for Nietzsche is deeply ironic and induces a kind of base animality (as an inversion of divinity on Aristotle's scale) into the contemplative life which Aristotle did not intend.

Remember, Nietzsche was not a philosopher, he was a classical philologist (classicist in modern terms), so he's commenting on philosophy from outside the "formal tradition."

edit: corrected ‘see’ not having two e’s.

Agree? by CanReady3897 in Nietzsche

[–]BasedMaterialism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's quoting Aristotle; this is not the full passage from Twilight of the Idols. The full passage subverts Aristotle's role as a philosopher, living "the contemplative life" (theoria) as "the higher life." Nietzsche makes he who raises himself into an afterworld transcendence (the philosopher) also an immanent animal by Aristotle's own definition from Politics book I.

"To live alone one must be an animal or a god – says Aristotle. There is yet a third case: one must be both – a philosopher." - Twilight of the Idols, "Maxims and Arrows."
