@augustus I've been on a similar flex recently

covid is real, the question is to what extent are the civil liberties we are losing to fight it worth it?

almost certainly not, particularly when stuff like ivermectin and vitamin D is effective, on the table and being actively ignored/censored.

my sense is we're better off defending and aggressively enforcing our rights in solidarity as citizens than we are playing some semi-paranoid game of chase the shadow government

@augustus @hakui oh right hakui is this drawing here

literally just google hakui EM expecting some crazy japanese dude wielding a tesla coil

@augustus @hakui AND his History of Western Philosophy is actually readable and entertaining, unlike Coplestone.

You have to shake off his biases pretty often when you read them but at least he's up front about them

@augustus @hakui also his book "Power" is one of the best short introduction to political theory I've ever read, second only to Machiavelli

@augustus @hakui he's one of the biggest influences in mathematical logic /and/ analytic philosophy, two huge fields in the 20th century and still to this day very well regarded.

I get your deal with him but he was no quack

@11112011 the spice must flow

@iskandrian we always do gammon on Christmas eve so Boxing day (onwards...) is usually turkey, gammon and leek pie...
