“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”

Interesting, but familiar for those of us who are greatly interested in history. Many confuse political systems (Totalitarianism, Democracies Kingdoms, etc) with economic systems (Capitalism, Socialism, Communism, Laissez Faire etc) and they do merge frequently and sometimes illogically. Throw in the modern internet and sit back and smile.
Well, the point of this post is acknowledge that the Frankfurt Scholl did a hell of a job dissecting "capitalism" critically... but nobody's ever done that for Socialism/ Communism. I'm simply pointing to the one-sidedness of Eco's critique in the face of Zizek's post-modern father, who's mirror opposite, the Authoritarian father is almost universally derided..
...because today the Capitalist Discourse provides the "often unmentioned" overarching frame and backdrop for most political systems, even that of the CCP.
Well, there is "historical fascism", which... do not represent anything much of itself -- "fascistic" Italy -- not known for anything that much grave or obscenely evil.
That is German Nazism that IS.
But... German Nazism -- by definition given by German Nazists THEMSELF... WAS, TA-DAM! national-SOCIALISM!!!
And what was building Stalin? (and Pol Pot, and Mao)
That was SOCIALISM -- TOO!!!
And that is what Western Leftys trying to TURN THEIR FACE OFF... with ALL MIGHT.

A "capitalist discourse" is necessary for the preservation of socialism/ communism. It's necessary because the normal cost-benefit analysis that governments undertake must be over-ridden to serve a "higher purpose" like achieving global domination.... and in the NeoCon case... making the world "safe for democracy". It's why we send hundreds of $$$billions to Ukraine and overthrow their government. Just ask the people at the CIA cut-out aka the NED.
Corporatism became one of the main tenets of fascism, and Benito Mussolini's fascist regime in Italy advocated the total integration of divergent interests into the state for the common good; however, the more democratic neo-corporatism often embraced tripartism.

From TEKONWATONTI: Poems of War Molly Brant (1735-1795)
If I could scratch figures I would show you fathers of the 13 Fires how my many grandfathers struggled to construct the Longhouse with two doors and a central fire which you entered and took out a lit kindling; how you took up the wisdom of our great and wise Peacemaker as you accepted our corn caught trout from our rivers, scalp-hair from our heads. If you would listen with clean ears, and I could scratch these sureties into birch bark or rock you would remember always from where your freedoms and liberties first captured your attention.
May your fire burn, and allow our fire to blaze as well... sign of spirit, symbol of survival, our corn fields, our white pine of peace, eagle diligently watching all the skies.
A people who do not remember... rain which falls upon rock.
Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900) was a German-Swiss philosopher whose work did not become influential until the 20th century. He argued that truth is impossible—there can only be perspective and interpretation, driven by a person's interests or 'will to power'.
Sure, you have geometry, trigonometry, calculus and the elements of spatial dynamics (at least... until you fall into a black hole). But that's purely "form"... and the chemistry, "content following form".
As for "biological forms" you'll need to decipher bio-electricity if you wish to "shape" and "control" those kinds of "forms".
...and evolution is constantly changing the "materials" you'll have to work with. There are twice as many assembly steps at the biological level than at the early chemical stages.... and they're still "building" steps.
Where's your Mendelevian table for biology that ascribes biological function to assembly level? KPCOFGS? So what function was gained at each step of the evolutionary tree? Are you sure it wasn't simply a change in hereditary bio-electric field patterning?
\\Where's your Mendelevian table for biology that ascribes biological function to assembly level? KPCOFGS? So what function was gained at each step of the evolutionary tree? Are you sure it wasn't simply a change in hereditary bio-electric field patterning?
That is... not a question for a quick chit-chat...
Well... I was talking about StackOverflow. Idea of which was unwunded practically online. By two tech-savvy bloggers (Joel Spolsky and Jeff Atwood AFAIR) -- that started from "and what is there'd be Q&A site... more suiting for us, yechy people".
And here it is.
So... to have more special SOCnet suitable for discussing such type of things (there is a name already, even -- Rizome, isn't it? ;-P)... is just a question of inniciative and some thought given to it.
But well, you have time only to a SOCnet Meden Agan... which prominent trait is -- to NEVER exist.
Because "that'll be TOO MUCH" and "I'd better not too" (succesfully played by Bi-den, lately) %^))))))))))
There need to be correct framing for it. As, what we really want to know -- it's how usual Life is in Universe. Well, specialists would be glad to close all questions and find all tidbit.
But for us, colloquially, it would not provide any NEW info -- we already know that there is Life on third rock from our Sun.
So... we need more and way bigger telescopes to look into the sky, to observe early forming of solar systems as well as cataloguing all possible variants of em. And... up to sending probes, yes.
So then we could argue -- is our Earth is really VERY special (but that, again, would not add any NEW info too).
Or... Life in Universe... is like in your American sci-fi -- widespread, and even not that much different. So that is AGAIN would give no NEW info. And would make it stupid infinity of Eternal Frontier where Native eternally straggling against Space Cowboys... bleh.
Well... that last we already know is not the case -- as there if no life in our closest withinity.
So... all question is -- how rare? How Many??? other solar systems... with a suitable Goldilock?
Well... nearly 10% of stars are Yellow Dwarfs like our Sun. And let's say 10% of em formed more or less similar to our set of planets...
and even, have any kind of life on em.
But well -- that is Not The Case too. Isn't it?
As we are not much interested in spotting yet one planet with own trilobites or dinosaurs versions. Ain't I'm right???
We want to see aborigines there. Anthropomorphic ones. And better if on similar with us stage of development. But that is... where it becomes totally impossible.
As if... let's imagine that we'd have total twin of our Sun. To sustain all conditions, starting from forming solar system and central star in the same time, and consisting of that same elements and their amounts. And then going through evolution in mostly same manner.
But even then... there'd be random events -- like forming of the Moon. Or destroying of dinos.
So... even most precise synchronicity, would not allow it to happen the way to our most liking.
As for example, even smallest skews of phase of Ice ages... would mean that on our twin Earth their variant of Neanderthals STILL struggling against their version of Cromanions.
Bleh! Boooring.
PS Or what? Maybe you wanted to talk about bio-physics??? About which I have a little knowledge... and you have no clue what so ever(am I right?).

How many times do we have to say this, TECHs are the problem. They replaced "free markets" with a Yenta algorithm match-making market owned by Jeff Bezos who charges commissions up to 40% of exchange value.

Hey, I'm a nationalist. Dervy always wants to distort that to "white nationalist". Yeah, I'm a nationalist who is white, but that doesn't mean I want a nation consisting ONLY of of controlled by whites.... just like Ukraine nationalists don't want the country controlled by Nazi's.

Duval argues that“[...] innovation in general – is that[...] sometimes just showing somebody a concept is all that you have to do to start an evolutionary path. And once peo-ple get the idea of ’hey we can do that’, then somebody does something, somebody does something better, that just keeps developing.”(Duval 2011 as cited in [1])
SOCRATES: Your love of discourse, Phaedrus, is superhuman, simply marvellous, and I do not believe that there is any one of your contemporaries who has either made or in one way or another has compelled others to make an equal number of speeches. I would except Simmias the Theban, but all the rest are far behind you. And now I do verily believe that you have been the cause of another.
PHAEDRUS: That is good news. But what do you mean?
SOCRATES: I mean to say that as I was about to cross the stream the usual sign was given to me,—that sign which always forbids, but never bids, me to do anything which I am going to do; and I thought that I heard a voice saying in my ear that I had been guilty of impiety, and that I must not go away until I had made an atonement. Now I am a diviner, though not a very good one, but I have enough religion for my own use, as you might say of a bad writer—his writing is good enough for him; and I am beginning to see that I was in error. O my friend, how prophetic is the human soul! At the time I had a sort of misgiving, and, like Ibycus, 'I was troubled; I feared that I might be buying honour from men at the price of sinning against the gods.' Now I recognize my error.
PHAEDRUS: What error?
SOCRATES: That was a dreadful speech which you brought with you, and you made me utter one as bad.
PHAEDRUS: How so?
SOCRATES: It was foolish, I say,—to a certain extent, impious; can anything be more dreadful?
PHAEDRUS: Nothing, if the speech was really such as you describe.
SOCRATES: Well, and is not Eros the son of Aphrodite, and a god?
PHAEDRUS: So men say.
SOCRATES: But that was not acknowledged by Lysias in his speech, nor by you in that other speech which you by a charm drew from my lips. For if love be, as he surely is, a divinity, he cannot be evil. Yet this was the error of both the speeches. There was also a simplicity about them which was refreshing; having no truth or honesty in them, nevertheless they pretended to be something, hoping to succeed in deceiving the manikins of earth and gain celebrity among them. Wherefore I must have a purgation. And I bethink me of an ancient purgation of mythological error which was devised, not by Homer, for he never had the wit to discover why he was blind, but by Stesichorus, who was a philosopher and knew the reason why; and therefore, when he lost his eyes, for that was the penalty which was inflicted upon him for reviling the lovely Helen, he at once purged himself. And the purgation was a recantation, which began thus,—
'False is that word of mine—the truth is that thou didst not embark in ships, nor ever go to the walls of Troy;' and when he had completed his poem, which is called 'the recantation,' immediately his sight returned to him. Now I will be wiser than either Stesichorus or Homer, in that I am going to make my recantation for reviling love before I suffer; and this I will attempt, not as before, veiled and ashamed, but with forehead bold and bare.
PHAEDRUS: Nothing could be more agreeable to me than to hear you say so.
“Si tacuisses, philosophus mansisses” is a quote often attributed to the Latin philosopher Boethius of the late fifth and early sixth centuries. As literally as possible, it means “If you had been silent, you would have remained a philosopher”.
What is Aristotle's virtue theory? Most virtue ethics theories take their inspiration from Aristotle who declared that a virtuous person is someone who has ideal character traits. These traits derive from natural internal tendencies, but need to be nurtured; however, once established, they will become stable.
Virtue Ethics | Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy https://iep.utm.edu › virtue
Aristotle was Plato's student. His was an exoteric version of Plato's esoteric "virtue theories".... which were originally Socrates'. 1st principle: "It is better to suffer harm then inflict it."
THAT is the virtue theory "in a nutshell".
All Plato did was add his "theory of forms" to it. And then all Aristotle did was add his "logical" first principle to that. Then Aristotle taught it to Alexander, who proceeded to conquer the world.

Tradition only holds things together so long as people have something to lose. ...unless through no fault of their own. Then, they're likely to cling ever-more tightly to them.
...sometimes also the difference between a "good life" and a "bare life".... or like the Muselmann in the Shoa, between a "bare life" and a "living death".

"" Russian imperialism differs from, relatively speaking, European "sea" imperialism, which is based on the idea of a difference between the colonizer and the colonized. This difference - cultural, racial - cannot be overcome, especially when, towards the end of the 19th century, it began to be formulated in terms of biological race.
Russian imperialism is different, it is based on the idea of identity, at least in the case of Ukrainians and Belarusians. The Russian says: "You are just like me. You will never be second(different)!". The Russian thus dominates through identity, not otherness: everything different from him must be destroyed. Everything that is "not one nation" for Russians is a deviation, a deviation.
This is such an absolutely contradictory in itself, but understandable formula: "You are Ukrainians, but you (can) live only when you'll became Russians." Here is a tool(way) for you to become Russian - the Russian language and everything related to it. And if you want to be excellent(different), we will kill you.
Violence and fear are the only tools that have kept Russia afloat since its formation as an empire.(my correction: well, much BEFORE it...) ""

What do I always say? CHARMides is "On Temperance". Are there no "opposing virtues" to it?
Temperance:Courage::Justice:wisdom
Meden agan!
If that mean something... well, anything to you...
Well... Lem was pretty obvious... in his criticism of false temperance.
Yawn.
Like in that story about two brainiaks... or that next with just one.
If they'd not go anywhere, and just stayed at home -- that'll be "temperance"? That "meden agan"? ;-P
But... that mean, there'd be NO stories.
And if Lem would decide "nobody listen to my wise words... so maybe I just need to stop... Meden Agan".
Yawn.
Then you'd be missing the WHOLE point of "virtue" from Plato's Lache's (On courage). And no, I won't repeat the definition of the "whole" of virtue for you... AGAIN!
It's like dropping water on a stone, failing to penetrate the surface... and I haven't got 1,000 years for a shape to form.
From TEKONWATONTI: Poems of War
Molly Brant (1735-1795)
If I could scratch figures
I would show you fathers of the 13 Fires
how my many grandfathers struggled
to construct the Longhouse
with two doors and a central fire
which you entered
and took out a lit kindling;
how you took up the wisdom
of our great and wise Peacemaker
as you accepted our corn
caught trout from our rivers,
scalp-hair from our heads.
If you would listen with clean ears,
and I could scratch these sureties
into birch bark or rock
you would remember always
from where your freedoms and liberties
first captured your attention.
May your fire burn,
and allow our fire
to blaze as well...
sign of spirit,
symbol of survival,
our corn fields,
our white pine of peace,
eagle diligently watching
all the skies.
A people who do not remember...
rain which falls upon rock.

Oh... how Lindy of you.
Well... magical chants... must be in precise language and of precise form... or, they will not work.
Science -- works in whatever form and any language.
As I devise -- what you proposing for me to get know -- is some kind "magic"...
But I... see not use for "magic".
:P
Then you've no use for wisdom, either. Cuz it's ALL charms and magic.
The world runs on bullsh*t... and all it takes is POWER to make it stick.
Well... do my (well, Lem's) parable hard to understand?
Like that about king. Line of it "one need to be wise themself, to listen to wise advice".
And isn't story itself reveal that truth through situation unrolling???
Wise Craftsman created Wise Tool. Well, King could ask that craftsman to be his assistant.
But, that King would NEVER be able to dispel his paranoia toward such outsider.
As well as craftsman himself -- would nit be able to pay all his attention to quirky desires of that king.
So... all resolved flawlessly -- with a tech. King received faithful assistant, one in whose proves and loyalty he can be sure.
And Craftsman... well, he still have his life...
Do you have a problem with following such script??? See some flaws in it?
Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900) was a German-Swiss philosopher whose work did not become influential until the 20th century. He argued that truth is impossible—there can only be perspective and interpretation, driven by a person's interests or 'will to power'.
\\Then you've no use for wisdom, either. Cuz it's ALL charms and magic.
Even Mendeleev's Table? ;-)
\\The world runs on bullsh*t... and all it takes is POWER to make it stick.
Being sticky... that's natural trait if any sh_i_t.
Yawn.
Yes, hope and doubt unravel ALL human solutions. All it needs is a seed.
...and Mendeleev's table only works for chemistry. Once you move to biological intelligences, all bets are off.
So until you've figured out bio-electricity, you're pretty well f*cked!
\\...and Mendeleev's table only works for chemistry. Once you move to biological intelligences, all bets are off.
You think so??? %^))))))
Sure, you have geometry, trigonometry, calculus and the elements of spatial dynamics (at least... until you fall into a black hole). But that's purely "form"... and the chemistry, "content following form".
As for "biological forms" you'll need to decipher bio-electricity if you wish to "shape" and "control" those kinds of "forms".
...and evolution is constantly changing the "materials" you'll have to work with. There are twice as many assembly steps at the biological level than at the early chemical stages.... and they're still "building" steps.
...ever new "viral" alterations and combinations.
Where's your Mendelevian table for biology that ascribes biological function to assembly level? KPCOFGS? So what function was gained at each step of the evolutionary tree? Are you sure it wasn't simply a change in hereditary bio-electric field patterning?
Symmetry? two legs becoming four? Four becoming eight?
\\...and Mendeleev's table only works for chemistry.
Have you heard about vitamins?
About micro-elements? That, of which "e-le-crto-li-tes" consist? ;-)
Did it happen to you to drink mineral water... and to pay attention what written there, on the back of that battle with it?
Do you know that there is Iron... Fe(rum), needed, for our blood?
ALL Mendeleev's Table IS IN OUR VEINS. ;-)
\\Where's your Mendelevian table for biology that ascribes biological function to assembly level? KPCOFGS? So what function was gained at each step of the evolutionary tree? Are you sure it wasn't simply a change in hereditary bio-electric field patterning?
That is... not a question for a quick chit-chat...
\\As for "biological forms" you'll need to decipher bio-electricity if you wish to "shape" and "control" those kinds of "forms".
Bleh.
OK, Google. "protein folding"
And... they do it on super-computers today. With help of AI.
Yawn.
...and what about Anaerobic respiration? Do it require Fe, also?
Early life wouldn't have evolved if Oxygen was a prevalent as it is today.
:P
\\Early life wouldn't have evolved if Oxygen was a prevalent as it is today.
Oh... that is EVEN MORE complex and hairy question.
Yawn.
So you only stay awake for easy questions?
Are you out of your mind? Or you thinking you can drive ME mad, with such a taunt? ;-P
I. One who revealed to you plans of sending probes to other stars...
or what, you started to believe to my mere words, and think now that that was Easy Question? ;-P
Like easy-pizzy, tomorrow we gonna launch probe toward another star(s)???? %^))))))
I just pointed to that obvious fact -- that format of this blog -- not suiting for discussion of such things...
ipso facto.
Have you decided on a better one, yet? A secret SOCnet?
????
Well... I was talking about StackOverflow. Idea of which was unwunded practically online. By two tech-savvy bloggers (Joel Spolsky and Jeff Atwood AFAIR) -- that started from "and what is there'd be Q&A site... more suiting for us, yechy people".
And here it is.
So... to have more special SOCnet suitable for discussing such type of things (there is a name already, even -- Rizome, isn't it? ;-P)... is just a question of inniciative and some thought given to it.
But well, you have time only to a SOCnet Meden Agan... which prominent trait is -- to NEVER exist.
Because "that'll be TOO MUCH" and "I'd better not too" (succesfully played by Bi-den, lately) %^))))))))))
:)
I'm retired. And I've more pressing issues to address. An out of control technologically and financially unlimited National Security State.
And about origin of life...
There need to be correct framing for it. As, what we really want to know -- it's how usual Life is in Universe. Well, specialists would be glad to close all questions and find all tidbit.
But for us, colloquially, it would not provide any NEW info -- we already know that there is Life on third rock from our Sun.
So... we need more and way bigger telescopes to look into the sky, to observe early forming of solar systems as well as cataloguing all possible variants of em. And... up to sending probes, yes.
So then we could argue -- is our Earth is really VERY special (but that, again, would not add any NEW info too).
Or... Life in Universe... is like in your American sci-fi -- widespread, and even not that much different. So that is AGAIN would give no NEW info. And would make it stupid infinity of Eternal Frontier where Native eternally straggling against Space Cowboys... bleh.
Well... that last we already know is not the case -- as there if no life in our closest withinity.
So... all question is -- how rare? How Many??? other solar systems... with a suitable Goldilock?
Well... nearly 10% of stars are Yellow Dwarfs like our Sun. And let's say 10% of em formed more or less similar to our set of planets...
and even, have any kind of life on em.
But well -- that is Not The Case too. Isn't it?
As we are not much interested in spotting yet one planet with own trilobites or dinosaurs versions. Ain't I'm right???
We want to see aborigines there. Anthropomorphic ones. And better if on similar with us stage of development. But that is... where it becomes totally impossible.
As if... let's imagine that we'd have total twin of our Sun. To sustain all conditions, starting from forming solar system and central star in the same time, and consisting of that same elements and their amounts. And then going through evolution in mostly same manner.
But even then... there'd be random events -- like forming of the Moon. Or destroying of dinos.
So... even most precise synchronicity, would not allow it to happen the way to our most liking.
As for example, even smallest skews of phase of Ice ages... would mean that on our twin Earth their variant of Neanderthals STILL struggling against their version of Cromanions.
Bleh! Boooring.
PS Or what? Maybe you wanted to talk about bio-physics??? About which I have a little knowledge... and you have no clue what so ever(am I right?). And in this primitive text-oriented environment -- that do not allow to insert and refer to a NEEDED for such discussion images EVEN??? While it would be good to have access to some 3D models and other such staff, actually.
And some hierarchical structure of data/content managment.
\\An out of control technologically and financially unlimited National Security State.
But... you have wisely suggested advice -- of how to use NEW tech as (most possibly ONLY) a way to manage it.
But... "one need to be wise... to listen to wise advices"... :-(((
Actually, this post was on Ur-totalitarianism, originally. A domestic situation near and dear to my heart. And in the present case, tech is the problem, not the solution.
Now tech may play a part in curbing the problem, but given the history of human nature, backdoors, and scopophilia... I doubt it.
So what's your "wise advice" that I'm sure to ignore?
You have a way of fixing the internet privacy problem?
...you've mastered quantum encryption?
\\Actually, this post was on Ur-totalitarianism, originally. A domestic situation near and dear to my heart. And in the present case, tech is the problem, not the solution.
Your elections discussed around the World.
And you problem with techs -- LACK of NEW techs.
Yawn.
\\You have a way of fixing the internet privacy problem?
Make em all use one-time notebooks? ;-P
\\So what's your "wise advice" that I'm sure to ignore?
1. Your domestic problems -- is from your foreign affairs problems.
2. Your foreign affairs problems -- because of diminishing of your stance in the World.
3. Your deminishing stance in the World -- because you DO NOT propose NEW techs anymore (as it was during all of 20 century... and even before).
What solution of it could be? What could be a solution of it all??? For it all... is there a solution???
\\Now tech may play a part in curbing the problem, but given the history of human nature, backdoors, and scopophilia... I doubt it.
Wanna tech to fix human history? ;-)

And will be outlawing and punishing EVERYONE who'd dare to have one, ahh???

They replaced "free markets" with a Yenta algorithm match-making market owned by Jeff Bezos who charges commissions up to 40% of exchange value. Watch the techno-feudalism video and find the internet's solution to the "high costs of free".
Privacy is bought and sold in exchange for "free" web searches and information sharing.
ps - There are no "solutions"... only substitutions of existing problems for new and different ones.
At least with quantum encryption, you know if someone else has read your messages cuz they cannot re-create the photon spins under re-transmission. They're "random".
...and that's the "key".
It's "physical".

Excerpt.
Duval argues that“[...] innovation in general – is that[...] sometimes just showing somebody a concept is all that you have to do to start an evolutionary path. And once peo-ple get the idea of ’hey we can do that’, then somebody does something, somebody does something better, that just keeps developing.”(Duval 2011 as cited in [1])
si tacuisses, philosophus mansisses!
Exaltations to virtue! ;)
Well... again that lack of p2p communication...
Plato, "Phaedrus"
SOCRATES: Your love of discourse, Phaedrus, is superhuman, simply marvellous, and I do not believe that there is any one of your contemporaries who has either made or in one way or another has compelled others to make an equal number of speeches. I would except Simmias the Theban, but all the rest are far behind you. And now I do verily believe that you have been the cause of another.
PHAEDRUS: That is good news. But what do you mean?
SOCRATES: I mean to say that as I was about to cross the stream the usual sign was given to me,—that sign which always forbids, but never bids, me to do anything which I am going to do; and I thought that I heard a voice saying in my ear that I had been guilty of impiety, and that I must not go away until I had made an atonement. Now I am a diviner, though not a very good one, but I have enough religion for my own use, as you might say of a bad writer—his writing is good enough for him; and I am beginning to see that I was in error. O my friend, how prophetic is the human soul! At the time I had a sort of misgiving, and, like Ibycus, 'I was troubled; I feared that I might be buying honour from men at the price of sinning against the gods.' Now I recognize my error.
PHAEDRUS: What error?
SOCRATES: That was a dreadful speech which you brought with you, and you made me utter one as bad.
PHAEDRUS: How so?
SOCRATES: It was foolish, I say,—to a certain extent, impious; can anything be more dreadful?
PHAEDRUS: Nothing, if the speech was really such as you describe.
SOCRATES: Well, and is not Eros the son of Aphrodite, and a god?
PHAEDRUS: So men say.
SOCRATES: But that was not acknowledged by Lysias in his speech, nor by you in that other speech which you by a charm drew from my lips. For if love be, as he surely is, a divinity, he cannot be evil. Yet this was the error of both the speeches. There was also a simplicity about them which was refreshing; having no truth or honesty in them, nevertheless they pretended to be something, hoping to succeed in deceiving the manikins of earth and gain celebrity among them. Wherefore I must have a purgation. And I bethink me of an ancient purgation of mythological error which was devised, not by Homer, for he never had the wit to discover why he was blind, but by Stesichorus, who was a philosopher and knew the reason why; and therefore, when he lost his eyes, for that was the penalty which was inflicted upon him for reviling the lovely Helen, he at once purged himself. And the purgation was a recantation, which began thus,—
'False is that word of mine—the truth is that thou didst not embark in
ships, nor ever go to the walls of Troy;'
and when he had completed his poem, which is called 'the recantation,' immediately his sight returned to him. Now I will be wiser than either Stesichorus or Homer, in that I am going to make my recantation for reviling love before I suffer; and this I will attempt, not as before, veiled and ashamed, but with forehead bold and bare.
PHAEDRUS: Nothing could be more agreeable to me than to hear you say so.
“Si tacuisses, philosophus mansisses” is a quote often attributed to the Latin philosopher Boethius of the late fifth and early sixth centuries. As literally as possible, it means “If you had been silent, you would have remained a philosopher”.
And what he did say about technologists? ;-P
\\Well... again that lack of p2p communication...
\\Plato, "Phaedrus"
Yeah.
Lack of context. Of emotion. Of bodily expressions...
Well... I, do not see em needed, for my purposes.
But you... seems like seeking it... which I cannot provide. :-(((

What is Aristotle's virtue theory?
Most virtue ethics theories take their inspiration from Aristotle who declared that a virtuous person is someone who has ideal character traits. These traits derive from natural internal tendencies, but need to be nurtured; however, once established, they will become stable.

Yawn.
Aristotle was Plato's student. His was an exoteric version of Plato's esoteric "virtue theories".... which were originally Socrates'. 1st principle: "It is better to suffer harm then inflict it."
THAT is the virtue theory "in a nutshell".
All Plato did was add his "theory of forms" to it. And then all Aristotle did was add his "logical" first principle to that. Then Aristotle taught it to Alexander, who proceeded to conquer the world.
Machiavelli was like Aristotle... exoteric. After his "Prince" was rejected, and he was tortured, Machiavelli became MUCH better at esotericism. :(
Machiavelli's "Virtu" theory...? Embodied in The Life of Castruccio Castracani, most likely. ;)

Your version? ;-)
They still have something to lose.
...but even THAT's going fast.
Tradition only holds things together so long as people have something to lose. ...unless through no fault of their own. Then, they're likely to cling ever-more tightly to them.
Fight or flight? Choose.
:P
...sometimes also the difference between a "good life" and a "bare life".... or like the Muselmann in the Shoa, between a "bare life" and a "living death".
Do you know which life you're living?
Wealth -> Health -> Life -> Death... the horsemen are coming for it.

Russian imperialism differs from, relatively speaking, European "sea" imperialism, which is based on the idea of a difference between the colonizer and the colonized. This difference - cultural, racial - cannot be overcome, especially when, towards the end of the 19th century, it began to be formulated in terms of biological race.
Russian imperialism is different, it is based on the idea of identity, at least in the case of Ukrainians and Belarusians. The Russian says: "You are just like me. You will never be second(different)!". The Russian thus dominates through identity, not otherness: everything different from him must be destroyed. Everything that is "not one nation" for Russians is a deviation, a deviation.
This is such an absolutely contradictory in itself, but understandable formula: "You are Ukrainians, but you (can) live only when you'll became Russians." Here is a tool(way) for you to become Russian - the Russian language and everything related to it. And if you want to be excellent(different), we will kill you.
Violence and fear are the only tools that have kept Russia afloat since its formation as an empire.(my correction: well, much BEFORE it...)
