"I have given up newspapers in exchange for Tacitus and Thucidydes, for Newton and Euclid, and I find myself much the happier." -Jefferson writing to Adams
Next weekend, I'll offer the first installment in a series on Plato's Euthyphro, beginning with Strauss's interpretation of it. Strauss's lecture shows how carefully we ought to read Plato and articulates the tension between reason and revelation. x.com/i/spaces/1BdxY…
Woof! Just finished writing a commentary on Strauss's interpretation of the Euthyphro. What started as taking a few notes turned into a much bigger project. I want to share it with you in space early next week as a prelude to a close reading of the Euthyphro itself.
Harvard will publish the English translation

According to Wired, Mark Zuckerberg is expanding his secretive Hawaii compound, and part of it sits atop an ancient burial ground [0] While Meta PR insists the property is for cattle, macadamia nuts, and ginger, my insider sources tell a different story. Mark Zuckerberg’s…
Socratic thinking teaches you to dig a problem to the first premise. What are we trying to answer? Are we asking the right questions? You also become adept at bullshit. When people blah blah blah, you see how they are talking around an issue. Either they are sloppy or dishonest.
If my kids were of college age, I’d send them to Thomas Aquinas College. Read books and debate philosophy and religion for four years. The VC’s on this site should show you the end result of neglecting a proper education. Totally reactive. No coherent worldview.
Wet streets cause rain. The solution is to hire RW people make films, not hire *people* to make RW films

You don't need a mouthful to state the basic aims: healthy, wealthy, and wise, with a family, friends, and community.
If you have ever tried to have a conversation with your friends while "Cephalus" is around, you will understand that in the Republic Plato depicted the situation exactly as it is.

ChatGPT to Raskolnikov: "Bravo, Sir - you acted with authenticity. You listened to your inner self. Sure, she was just an old lady who did nothing wrong. But you took action. That shows agency. You proved that you matter, that you exist--that you can. That's nothing to scoff at."
this is unironically going to be a HUGE problem in the coming years

The mass murder of Christians in Gaza was not "always the Israeli plan." What is wrong with some of these commentators today? It is a mistake to put Jews against Christians and Christians against Jews, whether it is Jews, Christians, or anyone else sowing the division.
Nothing to see here. Just the Babylon Bee guys introducing a justification for the mass murder of Christians in Gaza (which was always the Israeli plan) . This is your reminder to cancel your @TheBabylonBee subscription if you have not yet done so.

NVIDIA'S CEO: ELON IS A SUPERHUMAN, IT'S JUST UNBELIEVABLE Jensen Huang: "Just to put in perspective a supercomputer that you would build would take normally three years to plan. And then deliver the equipment it takes one year to get it all working. We're talking about 19…
Was talking to Big Name. He said he cut down on using X, then he realized that almost all of his significant deal flow was from X, and being on X was the highest and best use of his time. Some people are wasting their time here, especially younger people. It is real life tho.
Let's put to rest the canard that "Twitter is not real life." Last year, we ran a campaign against NPR almost entirely by surfacing its CEO's neurotic left-wing tweets. Now, NPR has lost all federal funding.
