On Discernment, St John Climicus wrote, "Sometimes what serves as medicine for one is poison for another. And sometimes something given to one and the same person at a suitable time serves as medicine, but at the wrong time it is poison."

Wouldn't Paracelsus' quote also apply? : "All things are poisons, for there is nothing without poisonous qualities. It is only the dose which makes a thing poison."

Plato’s Laws is the most under under appreciated dialogue. Practical and very kino.

A masterpiece from start to finish! (though my course on it is taking a long time to complete. millermanschool.com/p/plato-laws-course)

I’m a liberal myself, but listening to your contrasting scholarship has been very healing and expanding for me

This one hit hard. Sometimes the universe smacks you with the message right when you need it.

Simply uttering "whatever works" makes me think of Rorty. So, uh please do a video on Rorty ;)

I discuss Rorty in my book. Heideggerbook.com

Liked the Bukele critique !

I got a blue belt in BJJ and quit because I was bored out of mind mind and my body was wrecked. I did use it twice in the street to defuse situations and it worked fantastic. I realized I wanted ot be outside as much as possible and started trailing running and yoga and in my 50s live in Thailand and love it though only twice a week and no sparring. Everyone is different and different things work at different times in your life.

@JosephKelly-uj1zo I started doing Yoga regularly just 4 months ago (still the preparatory stuff so I can soon begin the primary series of Ashtānga Vinyāsa). And I can't tell you how much it has helped me. Yoga is incredible, and my years of studying the Sanskrit language at the University of Toronto have helped in this regard too. I'm really glad that you've found such a profound practice for yourself ... and that you're in Thailand eating all that delicious food!

Well said. It's often occurred to me that preacher's could bring this approach to practical advice. The practice seems to take a good deal more openness than the doctrine. Perhaps that's how they treat everything, like doctrine.

I believe there was a video I don't remember the name of (probably in Dugin's Directive) where Dugin is talking about the counter-intuitiveness of general American attitude to life as seen by the continentals/Eurasians. He posits something along the lines that the continental/eurasian mind operates under the axiom of "right/wrong" "What ought to be done?" whereas American mind works along the line of "it works/it does not work". The phrase immediately stuck out to me when I started watching your video.

Maybe 50 years ago, but America doesn't work at all anymore. Pronouns are not workable in a school or work environment.

Which is the best translation of the Republic?

To be honest politicians always talk about religion and prayer, not for supreme guidance, ❤❤but for political support from religious factions.
