Do gotta hand it to the Iranian propagandists a little

The Kushner blessing

If they are doing CUDA programming (or running programs customized for new CUDA) things have changed very significantly since 2016.

Oh yeah? Well tell me this - was Das Kapital created, or was it generated by the Dialectical Materialist Process?

Freedom takes more than a goal. It requires "two sided possibility" and also a way in which choices become part of oneself contingently. [not at all Nietzschian]. So ... I don't see the "non-banal reading"?

> this is a banal reading of nietzsche, according to what he believed about himself

I am indeed not a Nietzschian. But he did explore the "space atoms vs time atoms" theory in his notebooks. That "will to power" is final cause doesn't mean not deterministic.

His own "eternal recurrence" was his own way of attaining to god-like-ness, free of any assumption of their being some "other place."

Metaphysically, Nietzsche was very much a positivist (Will to power was pretty much a dual of Newton -- all causality final causality). He interpreted religion as a psychological state / way of life. "Being a god" - as [human imagination of] "being untouched by the troubles that time brings".

Jainist, Buddhists still do have their taboos too, after all...

I forget what Nietzsche says about money changers, etc [and I am going on Jaspers as much as Nietzsche who I read a very long time ago]. But maybe "doing something" only wrt to "otherworldly things" is still consistent with "doing nothing" in this world.

Nietzsche focused on "Love your enemy" -- "Allesbejahende" he thought Jesus dying on the cross was a demonstration of how to be God by simply by attaching little value to worldly things -- even one's own life. Then (pov Nietzsche) followers invented the resurrection and spoiled it all.

The Dear Leader we elected is:

A) Evil
B) An Idiot
C) Both Of The Above

He's masterfully proven the case for (C).

Iranian strategy perfectly corresponds to Trump as Narcissistic Isolationist.

If the war weren't so obviously naked American aggression, cutting off *everyone in the world's* oil (including China's) should have mobilized the world into action against Iran.

There is Nietzsche's view of Jesus as "saying yes to everything" (which in his view everyone willfully ignored afterwards).

Perhaps being stuck between Egypt and Assyria (/Babylon) eased the way to avoiding this question? It does seem like a question that would come up once your "religious milieu" (despite vigorous competition between sects) is the dominant one in a region?

Advertisers everywhere rejoice!

Let the newly minted post-docs teach AI simulacrum (appropriately trained to only listen a little and ask many off-topic questions) so as to increase demand to meet supply.

I myself rather think that future possibilities are divergent - there could be mutually incompatible possible successors to capitalism, and these systems in turn will not be final.

Excellent ... I recently read Karatani’s "modes of exchange" ... also interesting. WRT Bookchin's 2nd nature ... I feel too many theorists jump from basically sound arguments that capitalism will eventually be surpassed to unjustified conclusions about what exactly will surpass it.

Whereas Solomon says: “Cast your bread upon the waters, for after many days you will find it again.”

... so - interested to hear the argument ....

But given the brief review I read - I also think capitalism will never be replaced until a different way of life is developed. The bourgeois revolutions were centuries in to the development of capitalism from feudalism. Revolutions finish, not start transformation.

In alphabetical order will be at home next to Meinong on the shelf. The phenomenology of the impossible will provide it a frame....

I've put it on the reading list!

Seems like jumping to a conclusion. After all, how many dead portuguese do they know, to say they can make a fair comparison?

[Dying: and rightfully so, if the Iran war and the continuing support for the president who instigated it are a guide.]

Łukasiewicz approves of this innovation.

Philippa Foot: I invented the Trolley Problem to expose the flaws of consequentialism.

Our entire society: Finally we have created the Trolley Problem from classic philosophical work Do Not Create The Trolley Prob—

*out-of-control trolley ploughs through the group, mercifully ending the debate*

I bet India, South Korea, Japan, and the Philippines will still be very Rock Flag and Eagle after this.

Especially after we ripped away the South Korean THAAD systems that they had to spend a lot of political capital to get installed.
