I was rereading the OP etc and came across this. By 'freedom of the individual' you mean the antiquated 18th or 19th century classic Liberal notion I...

So recruiting folks to a mad cult on this forum, is that against the rules, is it trolling? Speaking of which , what happened to the 6/50 = 0.12 Pooh...

Eh? I never said it (gematria) was or is Platonic/Neo Platonic...that was the whole point of me pasting those wiki excerpts there. Are we on the same...

No because I can't find it.

Me and Dr Michael Sugrue.

You do realise that I said/wrote 'geometry' not 'gematria'? If so, I would've recommended a 'for instance gematria' in that passage.

So what? Crowley was intellectually inconsistent. Maybe we should all think for ourselves.

Was thinking more of Aeons. A new one started circa 1904 dontcha know?

Yeah inadvertently if you never read Plato that is. Then again , how are your geometry skills?

Seeing as Crowley was a Cabbalist, to be frank about it, that makes him a Platonist/Neo Platonist as we now know that the Cabballist story about an a...

If you are interested in the OP, prove it. How about using standard respected proper academic sources?

That's great. This is all you're getting from me I contemplate Liber L and verses such as the following and the like and ask myself what drives both ...

Yo, the 40 year old virgin is in the house! People partied hard in your college days, right? How about you?

Do you know where you are? This is Thelema where spiritual people are allowed to also fornicate and be out of their minds on drugs and booze.

Total sobriety and drug free communities.......alright!!

There's a reason for the rule here about not double posting, let alone triple posting. Apart from the fact that it (double/triple posting) looks insa...

Far- right raving nutty trolls are a threat to the reputation of the forum. There was already one Fruitcake Factory forum. Is this the guy who is on...

Instead of sending me to click on links, how about you just sum up what inspired you in those links.

You're not interested in this thread, you have a wacky escape-from-reality agenda, I started to realise that when you went off on a wild tangent about...

Notice how hadgig is sort of trying to push this source onto readers within this thread almost like a salesman or something. I keep a journal of La...

In which of their books did Marx and Engels advocate Socialist dictatorships. How's your history? Not so good considering that you think Capitalists...

Is it good? Have you read it?

Welfare state, increased standards of living, improved health and safety at work. The idiots who abuse ir are Fascists, not truly Marxist.

That's interesting, just because all the laws affirm it it doesn't mean it's right. What's the analogy? Specialisation and division of labour i.e. ho...

If you don't think the goal posts were moved then fine, I'm not sure either. I think I was pretty clear in what i think Socrates meant with the beef...

Well what was his point? Is he 'moving the goalposts'? Does his point make sense?

That's what I like about this forum... open minds.

I think you're missing Socrates's point there. Thrasymachus defines justice as just being the advantage of the Might is Right minority. Maybe they a...

The reason why I ask is because I'm honouring the title of the thread. It's unlikely that standards of living and the ability of many to be able to g...

I meant what does 'the left' want?

What do you want?

What's going on there? Thrasymachus defines 'Just' as 'nothing but the advantage of the stronger' and then Socrates asks him to consider that Polyda...

I was hoping someone could reproduce a manipulated photo of Kant's head on Charles Atlas's body here.

What? In e.g. Pol Pot's Cambodia as well?

In short, the body builder may eat beef but what about the scrawny, do they need beef? Well, no. Thrasymachus could have spoken his mind and respond...
