@GwendolynStothers [name pseudonymized] [ontology] : I've taken pause to ponder #Nietzsche's remaking of values ("God is dead") vis-à-vis contemporary social indabas, and #woke and even @elonmusk's twirrter 2.0. Yet who could present it more magnificently than @uberboyo? [URL redacted] via @YouTube

#IRLPhilosopherFriedrichNietzsche
Context "This sounds like a loose paraphrase of the sense of Daybreak aph. 329 (see also the first half of aph. 542, and the parallel passage in Genealogy of Morals). The necessity of illusions is also the major theme of 'Truth and Lie'. I agree with the earlier comment that, if it has any relation to a particular passage at all, it is a bad paraphrase! It's hard to explain exactly but if you even just skim the relevant passages in Morgenröthe or 'Truth and Lie' you'll see that when he's discussing the sturdiness of illusions he is often discussing the important functions they serve and when he is discussing the pursuit of truth he is often treating it as the product of illusions! So both halves of this quotation sound like something Nietzsche would say (except not in his style...) but not when combined." https://philosophy.stackexchange.com/a/56290 #1896_OnTruthAndLiesInAnExtraMoralSense #MetaphorVersusTruthIllusion
#IRLHistoricalFigureFrederickDouglass #1857_
Context #NewspaperUSBrdshtNewYorkTimesDavidBlight "But in the same way that Abraham Lincoln has become 'everybody's grandfather,' in the words of the historian David Donald, the one American figure who could be adopted by every part of the political spectrum, Douglass is also appropriated broadly, especially by the American right. ... On the surface Douglass does appear to be self-made -- he was the escaped slave who willed his own freedom, stole the master's language and wrote masterpieces of antislavery literature. But without many people, especially women (his grandmother, two wives, a daughter and countless abolitionist women who supported his career) as well as male mentors, both white and black, he would not have survived and become Douglass. In private, he easily admitted his reliance on friends and associates, and he believed in a theory of history rooted in the Old Testament, in the Exodus story, in collective liberation by God and by events. In 'Self-Made Man,' a new book published by the Cato Institute, the lawyer Timothy Sandefur argues that Douglass's essential legacy lies in his advocacy of liberty, individualism and private property and free enterprise. The radical abolitionist who risked all to use words and politics to free an entire people from slavery was, to Mr. Sandefur, only 'a radical for individualism' and never concerned with 'the interests of the collective.' To believe that, one has to ignore most of Douglass's career, especially his life as an abolitionist, his ferocious attacks on the poison of racism and his brilliant analysis of how lynching emerged from the evils of white supremacy. Douglass believed that freedom was safe only within the state and under law. Douglass did preach self-reliance for his fellow blacks: He argued that the freed slaves should be given their rights, protected and then 'let alone.' But he never employed that 'let alone' dictum without also demanding 'fair play,' and security against terror and discrimination. Conservatives have cherry-picked his words to advance their narrow visions of libertarianism." https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/13/opinion/right-coopts-frederick-douglass.html #OrgClassifPPUSPOTUSAbrahamLincoln #IRLHistorianDavidDonald [Wikipedia] #TheoryIndividualismCompetitiveSelfMadeManArchetype #PowerControlChattelSlaveryAbolitionism #BeliefTheismChristianityBibleOTBookOfExodus #PoliticsCollectivism #AdvocacyUSCatoInstitute [Wikipedia] #AdvocacyUSGoldwaterInstituteTimothySandefur https://www.goldwaterinstitute.org/our-team/timothy-sandefur/ #OtheringDiscriminationRacism #PowerControlViolencePhysicalBrutalityLynching #SlurWhiteSupremacy #CatchcryFreedomLiberty #ReasoningFallacyOfIncompleteEvidenceCherryPicking #PoliticsLibertarianism
Supplementary #IRLHistoricalFigureBarryGoldwater [Wikipedia] #1960_TheConscienceOfAConservative "In 1960, with publication of The Conscience of a Conservative, Barry Goldwater became the leader of a national movement. Written with speechwriter Brent Bozell, the book was a statement of Goldwater's political creed. In chapters that focused on issues such as civil rights, labor relations, and the welfare state, Goldwater called for the 'utmost vigilance and care...to keep political power within its proper bounds.' The national media largely dismissed the book, but Goldwater's vision quickly gained an audience and the book became a best-seller. Today, it is considered a landmark in the development of modern conservatism."

By now, Brent had blossomed into a full-fledged reactionary. He moved to Spain and became an apologist for Franco's fascist regime. Then he moved back and lost a Maryland congressional primary race to the liberal Republican Charles Mathias. After that, he moved to the Blue Ridge Mountains and devoted most of the rest of his life to attacking Vatican II." https://newrepublic.com/article/161431/brent-bozell-trump-capitol-riot #IRLDictatorFranciscoFranco #PoliticsCommunismColdWar #ToponymAmericaNorthUSMaryland #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPCharlesMathias #BeliefTheismChristianityDenomCatholicismSecondVaticanCouncilVaticanII

@KizzyGaw [name pseudonymized] [ontology] [20]: #Nietzsche's love for the Western humanistic #tradition, his analysis of resentment, call for intellectual honesty and flexibility of thought can show us a way out of #woke #cancelculture. He is probably the most popular #philosopher among young people today, which gives me hope. [URL redacted]
