ABOUT TIK 📝

History isn’t as boring as some people think, and my goal is to get people talking about it. I also want to dispel the myths and distortions that ruin our perception of the past by asking a simple question - “But is this really the case?”. I have a 2:1 Degree in History and a passion for early 20th Century conflicts (mainly WW2). I’m therefore approaching this like I would an academic essay. Lots of sources, quotes, references and so on. Only the truth will do.

The strongest cults are the ones that are never perceived as cults.

I sense a great disturbance in the aether: as though millions of philosophasters cried out in terror, and then broke into a cacophony of circular arguments, personal insults, and a vigorous round of "no u."

"Socialism is when there's no commodities, including food" might just be the best definition.

As a Christian this is very interesting. The huge mistake Hegel made was the idea God was dependent on his own existence. This hubris is the downfall of so many.

The French Post-Modernist philosophers have taken idiobabble to an extreme.

Ideobabble is the word we didn't know we needed.

"Hegel thinks he has found God in the middle of the PUBG circle" is not a sentence I thought I would be hearing today, but here we are.

As a Christian, I may be able give an answer to what traditional Christianity would say theologically to the idea that "God can do anything, so can also not exist, ".

This is essentially similar to the question "God can do anything, so can't he create something bigger than Himself, ". God in the Christian view is omnipotent, so He can do all things, yes. However, He cannot do a thing that is not a thing, this is a contradiction. If something is bigger than God, then that is a contradiction.

The example that is often used is "God cannot make a trianglesquare". He can make a square in a triangle or a triangle in a square. Or a third shape we call in our language triangle-square. But not a trianglesquare. As mentioned above, he can do anything, but that is not a thing. That is a contradiction.

The idea of God making himself not exist is similar. God, in the Christian view is by His nature the existent first mover of reality. The concept of God making Himself not, in the Christian view, a thing. It is a contradiction. Another massive reason this would be considered impossible is that God is thought to exist outside of time and space. Therefor, His nature does not change and is consistent. So essentially, if He exists at once, He exists for the rest of time.

Secondly, depending on what you are referring to with "don't say God's real name, " there is also a reason for that as well. This comes from the book of Exodus where God gives his name as "YHWH". This translates to "I Am, ". In Judaism (as well as to an extent early Christianity) this name was avoided because saying the name of God "I Am" could be interpreted as making the impious claim that one is God. According most interpretations of the New Testament, this is what gets Christ in trouble with the Pharisees. Other names of God however (Elohim, Adonai, etc) were generally considered acceptable to say aloud.

I hope I explained that somewhat well. Overall, love the content man, keep at it. Well wishes from the US.

"If they can get you to reject reason, they can get you to reject reality."
This is, no joke, the central theme to everything influential that Umberto Eco wrote, and is how he himself routinely redefines basic terms and even reality itself to suit his narratives.

One of my favorite insults of Hegel comes from Schopenhauer, who called him a "windbag". Good ol 19th century beef.

I remember my philosophy teacher telling us "this table isn't real but it's really real" made no sense back then, still doesn't

[snex]

There seems to be broadly two types of people, one hears ideobabble and thinks "this makes no sense, that guy is an idiot" while the other thinks "this makes no sense, that guy is a genius."

[Nationalfrontdisco]

Hegel said "ok Böhme" unironically.

[conforzo]

Hieraclitus isn't saying nothing exists. Only that nothing is fixed. What exists is the process. Existance is a process. Our universe is a process, from the smallest quarks to the largest superclusters they all change. The idea of the fixed is for us, a necessary generalization to make sense of the world.

I bought a book about Hegel once. After 10 pages I got a headache because of the complexity of the language and lack of actual content in the sentences. I have been having similar discoveries around the ideological types. I've found the best way is to just ask questions. Usually they get agressive when you dont understand their obvious gibberish.

Trigonometry was actually my favorite part of mathematics as a kid, which is why I apologized to my old math teacher for forgetting most of it when I met him as an adult.

Plato's demiurge is not the ancestor of God in the Christian teaching. In fact the idea of a demiurge is a heresy that has surfaced time and time again, eg Catharism.
