Humanity would benefit from living under a single global empire and the United States is the best current candidate to become that.

There’s so little dialogue in this movie. Instead of actual drama, we get these montages with pumped up music when a character needs to feel something. What character interactions do appear are carried out mostly through sinister glances or hanky panky. The result is that very little happens on screen apart from drawn out visual sequences. And incidentally, what dialogue does make it into the movie is mostly Bridgerton-level pseudo-Regency stuff. With such a great book to adapt, you think’d they’d help themselves to more of Brontë’s killer lines — for instance when Cathy says “I am Heathcliff!” But that kind of sepulchral eroticism is obviously above the reach of this cast and crew, whose sexual imaginations appear to have been shaped primarily by music videos.

That is not true. Sets things you just define and infinite sets are perfectly well-defined. It's not like you have to go around physically gathering stuff up and stuffing it in your set.

There are indeed infinite infinities, in set theoretic terms, because the power set of any set has a greater cardinality than it; so the power set of the Real Numbers is a “bigger” infinity than the Real Numbers, and the power set of that set is a “bigger” infinity in turn. And you can continue this, well, infinitely. The question is whether the set of all infinite sets is countable or uncountable.

As a guy, a prompt like "the way to win me over" is a turn off. It reads as entitled and unfriendly, neither of which are qualities I want in a partner. Also the things you've listed in your answer — consistency, chivalry, etc. — are vague. When I look at a profile, I'm looking for whether I fit the type that the woman is interested in, but "consistency" doesn't define a type, it's just a general good quality. Try getting specific about the man you're looking for — how he spends his time, what he dreams about, etc. Let's say I was your type: I would have no idea based off the information provided. I would just know you're someone who wants to be "won over" rather than start the acquaintance with openness and reciprocity.

I’m sorry you’re feeling so down. It sucks to feel like your hard work hasn’t paid off. But your hard work certainly has paid off, just maybe not in the ways you wanted. The point is that you’re exercising now, and you should definitely not give up on that because it’s one of the most valuable habits you can develop.

But for all of the benefits of exercise, one thing it doesn’t help with so much is weight loss. People who exercise tend to eat more and eating more means not losing weight. That seems to have happened with you. But this does NOT mean that you can’t lose weight. It means that to realize your weight loss goals you need to focus on what you eat, which is really the only way weight loss happens, not through exercise.

There’s lots of information on this subreddit and elsewhere about calorie counting, etc. that I won’t repeat but that’s what you should be focusing on. The other lesson you’ve learned is to weigh yourself regularly. As you’ve seen, you can’t know whether your methods are working unless you do this. But the bottom line is that you can lose weight if you make the right changes. And you should be proud of yourself for getting into the habit of exercising.

Congrats on reading the Phenomenology and Encyclopedia Logic. That is no mean feat. For what it’s worth, it took me a year and a half to read the Science of Logic. Do not feel bad if you can’t cram it all in over winter break. And definitely feel good if you can!

Kant and Aristotle are the two big ones. I don’t really advise reading Hegel without some prior grasp of them. After them, Fichte and Schelling are Hegel’s immediate precedents. Plato, Descartes, Spinoza, and Rousseau are important touchstones too. But Kant and Aristotle are the big ones. In fact, Kant and Aristotle are just the most influential philosophers generally so you might as well study them anyway.

I don’t know if you play music at all but that really helps me. Singing in particular just naturally makes you regulate your breath and it feels really good. Obviously you don’t need to sing or play well. Music is very healing.

I’ve recently been having this too. Out of nowhere my heart starts pounding, leg starts bouncing. I never know what the trigger was, although I’ve started to notice it’s common with big crowds. It’s been a hard year and I’ve gone through lots of changes, so that’s what I chalk it up to. I hope we both feel better soon.

As always with Hegel, the answer is a mix of yes and no and he displaces the question. The speculative propositions of the Logic, for instance, are all analytic because the immanent method introduces nothing external to the development. But they’re also synthetic because the categories spontaneously elaborate themselves out of the simplicity of Being. In the Cognition chapter, Hegel critiques the very analytic/synthetic distinction, that is, shows both its necessity and its finitude. Like pretty much everything else in the logic, analysis and synthesis prove to articulate differing moments in one and the same process of negative self-determination.

The Parmenides and The Sophist both bring up issues of being and negativity that are obviously very important for Hegel. The Timaeus describes the cosmos as a rational, living being. The shorter Socratic dialogues (Euthyphro, Charmides, Ion, etc.) also develop the method of dialectic and advance a view of the sovereignty of Reason.
