I’m confused by the above meme

2020-02-23 01:58:04 UTC  

I don’t know what it’s referencing

2020-02-23 01:58:48 UTC  

@Salvation_Crucifix Plato has Socrates describe a group of people who have lived chained to the wall of a cave all of their lives, facing a blank wall. The people watch shadows projected on the wall from objects passing in front of a fire behind them, and give names to these shadows. The shadows are the prisoners' reality.

Huh

2020-02-23 01:59:35 UTC  

>not knowing the allegory of the cave

2020-02-23 01:59:44 UTC  

huwhat

2020-02-23 01:59:56 UTC  

Ah

2020-02-23 02:00:04 UTC  

I’ve been listening to Plato’s Republic

2020-02-23 02:00:23 UTC  

It’s kind of hard to follow sometimes tho

2020-02-23 02:01:16 UTC  

try listening to it on .25x speed

2020-02-23 02:01:32 UTC  

The narrator actually does a pretty good job as it is

2020-02-23 02:02:00 UTC  

I swear by the end “yes” and “yes it is” and other polite agreements won’t even sound like words anymore

2020-02-23 02:07:01 UTC  

I’ve been trying to get into a lot more RW literature, especially if I can find it read aloud

2020-02-23 02:07:43 UTC  

Like siege?

2020-02-23 02:07:48 UTC  

Lol

2020-02-23 02:08:15 UTC  

The one I’ve been hunting for that has been as of yet elusive (except for an Internet archive link I think) is Spengler’s Decline of the West

2020-02-23 02:10:20 UTC  

@Salvation_Crucifix I have a copy but it’s the abridged version

2020-02-23 02:10:28 UTC  

Hm

2020-02-23 02:11:03 UTC  

I also recommend this channel

2020-02-23 02:11:25 UTC  

Basically explains many of his ideas

2020-02-23 02:14:19 UTC  

Though not all the ideas in it are Spengler’s (like peak oil) and the channel hasn’t been active in a while

2020-02-23 02:14:33 UTC  

Still good though

2020-02-23 10:51:30 UTC  

looks like it's 10x as much as you thought

@Imperial J. Yay Lmao, I remember coming upon a Reddit thread that tried to debunk the expulsions and show that it was all anti semitism

2020-02-23 15:16:23 UTC  

Of course it was reddit
