Got damn it I broke my 60 day rationality streak by relying on sophistic thought to win an argument and now the owl is disappointed with me

This is the mythological version of the history of philosophy, which is two times removed from actual philosophy. Also, everyone and their mother can tell you that Thales was the father of philosophy even within the mythological telling. Even if you don't give him credit, Paremenides and Anaxagoras are still there and are literally credited in the Socratic dialogues as tremendous figures.

Fucking philistine business school pricks slept through an elective and think they should be educators on the subject.

Let's be honest. You aren't going to actually read Hegel.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
