10 takeaways. Ten complete ideas.
1.
Quote:
- Philo of Alexandria.
- circa 20 CE.
An allegory is a literary technique in which the writing represents deeper meanings than the words might initially imply. Allegorical interpretation is the process of understanding the symbolic meaning behind a text or story. It allows for a deeper understanding embedded in literature, art, and movies.
2.
Quote:
- Hannah Arendt.
- 1963.
From History:
Arendt warned that history’s worst outcomes are rarely driven by monsters. They are driven by ordinary people who surrender judgment. When obedience replaces moral thinking, cruelty no longer feels like a choice—it feels like routine.
3.
Good philosophy requires a science-first approach for empirical things. Beyond the empirical, it’s up to philosophy to explore the currently unknown and unknowable. Either way, science provides the facts, while philosophy explores the meaning. Together, they help us understand the known, unknown, and unknowable.
4.
Anthropology studies humans and their cultures, paleontology uncovers ancient life through fossils, and archaeology explores past human societies through material remains—all piecing together the story of life and humanity.
5.
Buddhist teachings are more precise in their language. The words of Gautama Buddha were memorized by his disciples during his lifetime. While the Buddha focuses on memorizing his words, Confucius focused on memorizing his ideas. Both represent their masters well.
6.
Terrence Howard asserts that zero does not exist and that 1×1=1. Both are incorrect and his idea is not math, science, nor good philosophy. He relies on fame and errors in critical thinking to confuse people. Zero represents the absence of something and multiplication is factoring, not addition. He has fundamentally misunderstood the nature of reality.
“Done.” Refresh for another set.
