This work spawned some serious debate in the ancient world and during the middle ages, especially among the Islamic philosophers Averroes (Ibn Rushd) and Avicenna (Ibn Sina). I seriously think Aristotle had an in-depth understanding of this phenomenon. As time passed, commentaries on Aristotle&#39;s work discussed the movement from the &#34;potential intellect&#34; to the &#34;acquired intellect,&#34; and all this was made possible by an agent that seems attached or a part of the soul somehow. The medievals called it the &#34;active intellect.&#34; Be that as it may, there&#39;s plenty of evidence that Aristotle derived his teaching on this from Plato, his teacher. 2025-06-01T17:45:13Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsqg7mxwaj8n8zzu5eg7k6tf08td7t2saap6punhl9z6thc3fj9zyqzyqdwelma0at2k26q0au5p340l7c2t243jyaxlzdq8qkd94mjzupcky73jqy The problems with historicism and positivism prompts their adherents to think and interpret ancient and medieval texts by assuming that such authors cannot posit universal truths; rather, all that they say and describe must remain in the context of the time in which they lived, for nothing can transcend those boundaries. If certain aspects of their teachings and musings, however, did cross these boundaries, then perhaps they&#39;d have something to say about our times and that human nature really doesn&#39;t change, which implies that social patterns and occurrence would crop up again in a different time and place. In essence, their teachings evince a predictive quality enmeshed in their writings. 2025-06-01T17:14:33Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsq5wh7m0s238cs5qaezfapaekk04fnf635efqgj73wfs4vkaf2rrszyqdwelma0at2k26q0au5p340l7c2t243jyaxlzdq8qkd94mjzupckcdm3eg And just like that, I went from half a dozen followers back to one after a few posts. I guess the crypto-bros have more affinity for their zaps and wallets than for what makes democracy thrive: people and community. Oh well, Tocqueville was prophetic in many ways. America&#39;s days are numbered not simply because its institutions are corrupt but because its people have chose the economy and money as their god, i.e., they too have become corrupted. 2025-06-01T05:19:50Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs05r2c3e5kdl3aesjnxktyzsqgjt5jgkptwp53amk9v6etc96w88gzyqdwelma0at2k26q0au5p340l7c2t243jyaxlzdq8qkd94mjzupckm2hjsu In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvdg59h503sung7mden2pmfrymzhglpey6sl3urshg5msclulj9hcpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfdud4586v'>nevent1q…586v</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>What exactly do you suspect is on the horizon? 2025-06-01T01:38:32Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsxwzy9y3h3xaugk2actxg74sqth8tsqgswqwecqxgzzn6dvavyleczyqdwelma0at2k26q0au5p340l7c2t243jyaxlzdq8qkd94mjzupckdcrgj3 A book that gives an interesting view of the precursors leading up to today&#39;s turmoil in the Middle East. #books #middleeast #Arabs <br/><br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/009228d86af94c84a578ae873e2007730a3c7d5c2f8f15186a4b995e08005612.jpg"> 2025-05-31T22:49:28Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs2gd5yf8axgdn8rvd2k25f7nqufx05k04lg05fpkr8hq44ggnhrnczyqdwelma0at2k26q0au5p340l7c2t243jyaxlzdq8qkd94mjzupck9p6zxm When reading ancient and medieval philosophy, the reader must be attuned to the esoteric writing methods of the philosophers. 2025-05-31T22:38:54Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqstp5dnnj2m5jeslhj46scdjg7e0vnqyusqxyft0zyll0ysfgmxxaszyqdwelma0at2k26q0au5p340l7c2t243jyaxlzdq8qkd94mjzupckmzyn5r In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszd9jm48vuts49n6yahzx9tq0lc4f8wnyv7kklgl8vmttnen8ng7qpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgftf94h'>nevent1q…f94h</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Physical trees are great, but what about the tree within? 2025-05-31T22:20:00Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsf84pa6nqqggsl79lgwgjcwtpcx6se6rrgjjvp24k7h5vejqfusjczyqdwelma0at2k26q0au5p340l7c2t243jyaxlzdq8qkd94mjzupck9y68y4 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxd4xqgcthjv33zrg4ekastaumva3eklt0xlgncxt6854j42n0fncpremhxue69uhkvet9v3ejumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtmvv9hxwtm9dculmxf4'>nevent1q…mxf4</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Jeepers, I wish the US would take Native American oral histories serious, but the scrubbing of most articles in many archeological journals that reference such has signaled that this will continue as usual. 2025-05-31T22:14:17Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsvgpurhrey6carefqly9r82pngqtmnlnw8qq7dpqmujawu2y8alcgzyqdwelma0at2k26q0au5p340l7c2t243jyaxlzdq8qkd94mjzupck6et630 The information about Alex Karp, one of the founding members of Palantir, stating that some of his enemies need beheading was particularly harrowing. <br/><blockquote class="border-l-05rem border-l-strongpink border-solid"><div class="-ml-4 bg-gradient-to-r from-gray-100 dark:from-zinc-800 to-transparent mr-0 mt-0 mb-4 pl-4 pr-2 py-2">quoting <br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Article"><a itemprop="url" href="/nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqslg0awy93d38svnhu0x72t5pj4pg08qzg52uj75kp39fq69sr92qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2ap0qqs9aqh0hmfs28ynnk5sl75hah9enf0fwfn0cja05fhfzjdd6xd38wsjpctm3" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1">nevent1q…ctm3</a></span> </div> I joined Media Roots Radio to discuss the PayPal mafia of rebranded neocons, and how they’re ushering us into a neofuedal tech dictatorship.<br/>Available on Soundcloud, Spotify and podcast apps. <br/><br/><a href="https://unlimitedhangout.com/2025/05/press/media-roots-radio-2/">https://unlimitedhangout.com/2025/05/press/media-roots-radio-2/</a> </blockquote> 2025-05-31T21:27:51Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsfx0xtn44z70v8nk99l6ymryh4mtee664hyl9cq57zhyeknfl984gzyqdwelma0at2k26q0au5p340l7c2t243jyaxlzdq8qkd94mjzupcktj5z80 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqspur0x0x3qsrvjntdhfz2n2hq6r02k52464svtszs3v4ae4vhv6zsk7x0s3'>nevent1q…x0s3</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Indeed, I just found out about it today. 2025-05-31T20:41:39Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs8k7z0y79aaay3accarjktja9r3v66wtg5d07jefgxv90l4agvhsgzyqdwelma0at2k26q0au5p340l7c2t243jyaxlzdq8qkd94mjzupck2k2ytf In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszvm9ygnkccv7tjl3zz4m99hja7akvfgugf74h7trktgh4k2cta6cpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgdmwt0y'>nevent1q…wt0y</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Folks like this on X seems to gravitate towards monarachic tendencies.

In reality, all that&#39;s happening is reminiscent of Augustus Caesar&#39;s methods. He maintained the facade of freedom when he ascended to power, keeping all institutions working; he slowly, however, siphoned off the people&#39;s freedoms behind the scenes with his policies. And Caesarism all started under the guise of a populist movement: from Marius to Julius to Augustus. 2025-05-31T20:24:37Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsgav55yuu6tzfp8neeyw9mlqe7kt24tkh8au85lgsan6czh7p9jxszyqdwelma0at2k26q0au5p340l7c2t243jyaxlzdq8qkd94mjzupckw5leec Never used this nostr platform before, but with the way the world is going, and freak show that&#39;s on X, I decided it&#39;s time to switch to a different platform.
