Ok, so now I have a #Lemmy account and it actually may be a solid #Reddit replacement. I found some #Futurama meme sites,#StarTrek discussion, #Ireland forum and a #Philosophy board where I got to engage in a discussion about #Plato, #Nietzsche & his #Dionysus v #Apollo binary framework.
Now I just need to find some more niche communities for #Neoplatonism, #IrishMythology, #TTRPG #Psychology, #Polytheism, #History and general #LeftWing #Socialist or even #SocialDemocratic discussion.

@khthoniaa This article goes into it in more detail. People think of #Neoplatonism as being quite stodgy but this article shows you can have queer readings of it as polytheist theology.

@ct_bergstrom #Neoplatonism founder Plotinus’ student Porphyry documented his teacher having 4 experiences of elevated consciousness which describing the sensation using terms similar to psychedelic (or transcendental, meditative) states.
This is an element rationale for including it in the thesis of my machine learning project (to found a new #religion of course).
This image demonstrates a profound lack of historical understanding of Ancient Egypt and the Ptolemaic period.
Even Hypatia would have face-palmed.

As Giorgio Agamben notes “The ineffable, the un-said, are in fact categories which belong exclusively to human language” not because silence, aphasia, is itself a limit but because “the unsayable [is] what language must presuppose in order to signify”

“One cannot simply bypass ethics on the way to metaphysics, or construct a metaphysical political philosophy that has nothing to say about what should be the first concern of any political community: justice.”

Saw some fascist idiots on the birb site trying to diss a trans inclusive analysis of #Plotinus so I made these memes based on #Proclus actual own words to show that #Neoplatonism and #Platonism of late antique #Polytheism are in fact very #transinclusive.

Hypatia of Alexandria: A philosopher for polarized times
"In 415 AD the pagan mathematician and philosopher Hypatia was murdered by a mob of Christian conspiracy theorists on the streets of Alexandria, who tore her body apart and burned it outside the city. The event shocked the Greek-speaking Mediterranean world."
