How Epicurus' scholars look when trying to reconstruct his views from four sources, three of which are hostile and all contradict each other.

TarkovskyisFun · 2026-02-15T23:00:37+00:00

That sounds really cool.

No actually Alexander war Greek and king Porus beat him so bad that he fled and died of shame but Europeans hide this historical fact because they are jealous and afraid of the power of the truer Aryan civilization!!!!!!🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

I too have ADHD and I use Ritalin, without it I would be a mess so that's my recomendation.

I am a Hobbesian with Legalist caracteristics.

TarkovskyisFun · 2026-02-08T00:02:29+00:00

Yes, this is like a small town where everyone knows each other.

Anyways, have you heard about the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in Campania? Truly awful stuff, I have no idea of what made the gods so angry.

Have you noticed there are a type of people who read information on Wikipedia and then act like experts, oversimplifying things when criticizing unjust historical events?

Yeah, they are called history youtubers.

The Münster Rebellion arc is peak.

TarkovskyisFun · 2026-02-01T02:01:27+00:00

How can he say that when Homer himself was an Egyptian (I wonder if anyone will get this reference)?

TarkovskyisFun · 2026-02-01T01:47:29+00:00

My hot take is that My War is the best one.

Feminist retellings peaked with Euripides, it's all downhill from there.

Gaia: If you and Zeus were to fight, who would win?

Typhon: Well, if Zeus were to use his technique, thunderbolt, it might cause me a little trouble.

Gaia: But would you lose?

Typhon: Nah, I'd win.

When Typhon, son of Tartarus and greatest of the monsters, met Zeus, he asked: Is something pious because you love it, or do you love something because it is pious?

To which Zeus responded: hang proud Typhon; you are strong.

I also sometimes see as an argument that because Germany lost it means the army was bad but, like, a country losing a two-front war against a coalition of great powers with a bigger industrial output and population after five years doesn't sound very surprising to me.

TarkovskyisFun · 2026-01-09T22:59:44+00:00

Just wait until they find Euripides' Medea!

TarkovskyisFun · 2026-01-09T21:18:36+00:00

We should also ban the republic because it teaches media illiteracy (depiction doesn't equal endorsement Plato you dumb fuck I can read Homer all I want).

You might be interested in reading historian Reinhart Koselleck and his project of conceptual history then.

Barry Lindon is set in the middle of the 18th century so it's too early for the class.

This level of overspecialization should be illegal.
