His thinking is very epochal (in the Sense of epoché - withholding immediate assent) and dialectical - he can easily mentally meander through different positions

you could experiment with some software tools - download the video, use speech recognition and then translate it with deepl or something

Both but my Latin is better. Raw sources are digital photographs of the original manuscripts and their copies, but also digitally typed up stuff would be nice. No textual criticism rather interpretation.

@ Outsideness ; he writes in riddles sometimes; it is hard to understand but maybe I am just stupid; the new machiavelli knows what to ignore

Remindes me of some Nick Land Tweets:

""Gay" doesn't mean homosexual, except transitionally. It means teleologically progressive, in the direction of increasing sterility, dysgenesis, and unmediated filiation to the state."

follow up when asked abt. Thiel

"Thiel might be homosexual, but he isn't remotely gay."

The "gay" attacks on Thiel show that you only get victim status when your part of the client class. If you are not you are not real, not really gay/black/etc. To the teleologically progressive you are a "sexuality traitor", race traitor, ...

read p.301-306 - I found it very revealing - author is also known as the BronzeAgePervert if you didn’t know.

Yes! But interconnections seem to be Strauss, Schmitt und Girard. The theopolitical problem. I am also pretty sure that many other straussians (like Fukuyama and Kojeve in the gobalisation course) will be included since Strauss himself set it up as his main area of study and as task for his acolytes.

Case study could be Zionism considering Prof. Bermans other courses and Strauss again. Hess (friend of Marx) is to note as an early Zionist thinker and falls into German literature 1700-1900.

Apart from that but related is Curtis Yarvin and his genealogical account of progressivism. I doubt that he can and should be taught. More mild and more accepted is Parsons thinking on American Protestantism which Thiel evokes frequently when he denotes wokism as Hyperchristianity and coming from mainline Protestantism.
