 On Hegel #It'sOn

nostr:npub1guh5grefa7vkay4ps6udxg8lrqxg2kgr3qh9n4gduxut64nfxq0q9y6hjy in his latest TFTC episode with Chris Hume, called "raw milk" Hegelian in nature as a criticism of what's wrong with our modern world . Hegel is known for his dialectic "thesis, antithesis, synthesis." 

In this sense, the thesis is "raw milk", the antithesis is "just milk", and the synthesis is "false equivalence", I say. 

Why does milk need to be qualified? Milk was by definition raw milk. Adding the qualifier of "raw" promotes a divide and conquer mentality, i.e., "us vs. them." 

This is the slippery slope of the decline of civilization and the fall of the "Roman" empire. Talk about a "world gone mad", to quote Marty. Best to avoid Hegel. How about Schopenhauer or Nietzsche instead? One is mentor, the other is a protege. Do you know which is which? No? Figure it out. We are Bitcoiners. We have at least 80 IQ and counting.
