(FB 1542149498 Timestamp) NO. MORAL LITERATURE IS FOR DIM PEOPLE I mean, the general argument that smart people study science, economics, and law and not-very-smart people study moral literature or what we call ‘continental philosophy’, and even-less-smart people study narrative literature, is simply true. There is a reason marx is only taught as fantasy moral literature, and not science, economics or law. It’s because it’s very hard to read any of this when it’s contrary to the evidence, and reducible to nothing more than a revolt against Darwin Menger Spencer and Nietzsche.

(FB 1542233276 Timestamp) THE STOIC RESTORATION MOVEMENT CONTINUES —“@Curt Doolittle Much respect to on making the connection between Peterson and stoicism, you’re the first person I’ve seen to share that sentiment. Did you read that somewhere, or come up with it alone?”— Cheers. No, not from elsewhere, it’s part of my work – and was fairly obvious at some point. I thought I would have to do it myself, (and I would not be good at it) because between Pigliucci (restoration / personal ) and Robertson (cognitive behavioral therapy), and Jung/Peterson (suggestion by archetype), no one has the full picture (nor how it relates to religion), but between them they seem to be converging on Stoicism the same way the greeks and ancient romans converged on it – due to market demand. I sort of view it as up to people like you and I to make sure that convergence occurs. (We are working on it at the Institute just in case it doesn’t). The problem is, that the underclass narrative (abrahamic religions(judaism> christianity> Islam) in the ancient world and the pseudoscientific revision of ( Marxism> postmodernism> feminism in the modern world) in the modern world, were both more successful because they allowed undermining from the bottom in both eras rather than institutionalization of stoicism as defense against the dark ages that the ancient and modern world were and are threatened with. So you know, market demand on one side and insurance against another dark age on the other. Cheers ( fyi: Noah J Revoy )

(FB 1542384122 Timestamp) FOR NEWBS: ON MY AGGRESSIVE POSTURE AT THE INTERNET PODIUM —“And no need to be so passive aggressive. I was just trying to have a discussion, clearly you’re more keen on “wrecking” people who engage than talking to them.”— No, i just cant tell whether someone is an addict and a waste of time or a candidate for discourse until i push back on them and discover whether they have any agency and therefore intellectual honesty, or not. Congratulations for passing the test. I am very good at what i do and teaching class in the locker room that is the internet among idiots and hostiles requires abandonment of conservative tolerance and restoration of victorian discipline. So ask dont tell. You told presuming you knew better, you didnt ask presuming i did. I responded.
- hugs for intellectual honesty. its rare 😉
