ancient greek was such a great language, they had like 20 words with slightly different meaning for every english word, english is basically esperanto lite

>apathy is a virtue
I still have a hard time believing he said that, probably a mistranslation

Yes

Because they where a product of their time. Today everyone is a "philosopher" and drown out the ones legitimately highlighting the problems.
In a 100 years they may be noticed.. but its usually a few years to late.

because the society in the conditions of premodern was healthier since it was not “freedom” and “equality” that did not have moral value

probably isnt a perfect translation, but as long as the meaning is the same, it works.

How ridiculous and what a stranger he is who is surprised at anything which happens in life.

- Aurelius

Thank you for proving our American intellectual superiority.

>seneca was a huge chad and very underated imo

I thought he was considered the Bernie Sanders of the Roman world.

We live inna 100% different era

Didn't Marcus Aurelius write about how young people typically didn't really believe that much in the gods and their fake consequences like heaven and hell etc? I seem to vaguely remember him mentioning that it isn't a serious motivator but maybe he was just insulated from idiots most of his life, I dunno.

They understood themselves and how it related to the reality about them.

he was rich as fuck

also backthen all romans were chads

>britons are the most ignorant people I have ever conquered
t. JVLIVS CAESAR

Has he even said that?

They were not more advanced as thinkers, they simply were the first ones to think these thoughts.

No fluoride in their water or HFCS in their food or kikes in their classrooms

He means that virtue is defined by the society. Being progressive is our modern virtue, for example. The dying society treats apathy as a virtue because it's socially incorrect to remind others of the upcoming collapse. Apathy generates artificial social harmony when the circumstances would not otherwise justify such harmony. Hence apathy becomes a virtue, because it staves the collapse off just a little longer.

>He means that virtue is defined by the society
do you have the source for the quote?
screaching leftists say its fake, I dont trust them, but the quote seems mistranslated as fuck, I d like to see where its from in greek

No sorry.

I mean then maybe the quote is fake

the screaching leftists are still out of luck because he did say things like "tyrants will always try to undermine the racial unity of a people"

It was sacrificed to be replaced with "usefulness", even though philosophy is the only viable basis for any complex system. Without a mature philosophical base, any society, no matter how small, becomes corrupted, as its values become a tug-of-war for the participants to change in order to fulfill their own agenda. Even purely profit-based parts of society get corrupted, like the market becoming about anything but profit, betraying its' original purpose.
I'm basically reciting Nietzsche here, but this goes deeper, and not all of it can be traced back to Christianity, or any particular philosopher, including Plato. The sad truth about today's society is that every ideology without exception is based on Western Liberalism, which in turn borrows from bastardized Protestant Christianity. None of the long-lived empires of the past lived by those values. No paradigm shift takes place outside the liberal mindset today, including fringe ideologies.

They weren't. Are you one of those idiots who believe philosophers don't exist anymore?

They weren't. You are just not capable to find the good present day thinkers (got stuck at Nietzsche...). You are not alone: even in seemingly fast times, real quality is hard too find, because why share it with the masses, who at most will tweet "This is bullshit" or "This isn't Nietzsche!", because they're not able to graps any of it. Sorry, bro, but you're just not educated enough, and that is nobody's fault but your own, but stop making shit threads like this.

You read that the quote was probably fake (Which it probably is). But then you came on here, as if you realize the quote was fake just solely by how it sounds. And not the fact you looked it up a priori, and saw people saying it's fake.

Why do people do this? Why not just say, "I read somewhere it wasn't real."

He isn't (and wasn't) a spook. He had a physical.existence.

show me good modern philosophers

>as if you realize the quote was fake just solely by how it sounds.
because I do?

I read the philosophy of aristotle and he would NEVER say tolerance is a virtue, after making this post, I looked it up to see where it came from, to see if I could translate the greek better, and I was confronted by a bunch of results by hard leftists who said it was fake

this is one of these quotes that you read and immediately feel that it is true, and that you've known for a long time that it is the truth

there is no god, but it is certainly useful if stupid people believe there is

it's the best way to get them in line

What about elite Hilldawg following the religion of Moloch? Many such examples.
