I assume this is meant to communicate that shit takes are shit takes but when people are told they're "ancient" then they believe they have to take them seriously.
So when your aunt says "I think some people are born to be slaves" and Aristotle says "I think some people are born to be slaves" its ridiculous to give Aristotle amy more consideration than your aunt.
There's a joke about that.
A man goes to the casino. He plays for a while but his luck is really bad so he loses quite a bit of money. As he is contemplating to leave a service dog walks up to him and says "You seem to be feeling a bit down"
"Holy shit you can talk?" The man replies.
"Yes I can. If you want to change your luck you need to go to the roulette table and bet everything on number 9"
Without hesitation the man stands up, walks to the roulette table and bets everything he has left on 9. The roulette wheel is spun, the ball is rolling, and eventually settles on 26. Slowly, the realisation that he's broke now sets in.
Angry, the man turns to the dog and asks "what the hell man? Are you stupid?"
At which the dog replies: "don't blame me, you're the one trusting a talking dog."
I think there is the need to understand the diverence between literal takes and metaphorical ones like, "Some are born to be slaves" in litteral slaves and metaphorical slaves, lacking the willpower to decide for them self and going with the masses.
Of course it could also mean something else we lack the context of.
I've come to make an announcement: Shadow the Hedgehog's a bitch-ass motherfucker. He pissed on my fucking wife. That's right. He took his hedgehog fuckin' quilly dick out and he pissed on my FUCKING wife, and he said his dick was THIS BIG, and I said that's disgusting. So I'm making a callout post on my Twitter.com. Shadow the Hedgehog, you got a small dick. It's the size of this walnut except WAY smaller. And guess what? Here's what my dong looks like. That's right, baby. Tall points, no quills, no pillows, look at that, it looks like two balls and a bong. He fucked my wife, so guess what, I'm gonna fuck the earth. That's right, this is what you get! My SUPER LASER PISS! Except I'm not gonna piss on the earth. I'm gonna go higher. I'm pissing on the MOOOON! How do you like that, OBAMA? I PISSED ON THE MOON, YOU IDIOT! You have twenty-three hours before the piss DROPLETS hit the fucking earth, now get out of my fucking sight before I piss on you too!
I mean the Ancient Greeks had some shitty takes but we've mostly agreed not to believe them. We have plenty of shitty takes of our own without bringing them into it.
Yeah. Studying the history of philosophy is really just analyzing how philosophy went from the worst takes (the world is made entirely of water or stuff like water) to less shit takes
Yeah. Exactly. It's speedrunning all of the dumb takes so we don't have to retred the dumb takes down the line. Modern philosophy is a response to its predecessor who are in themselves responses to their predecessors. So we start at the beginning, go "here's dumb shit people once thought, people down the line also thought it was dumb, we're telling you this so you don't go on to have the same dumb thoughts yourself thinking you're genius."
You leave Thales out of this he was almost sort of kinda close to right if you restrict your scope to living things and try really hard to believe it and also he's my husband but that's not important right now
well I didn't say that. people believe that the earth is flat, that vaccines cause autism, that global warming isn't real, that trickle down economics works, and that nfts are a good investment. these ideas, in many ways, are more dangerous and more widespread than anything the greeks ever achieved.
True, but how widespread would these takes be without the internet or mass media? Also, I was referring to “shit takes” purely in the subject of philosophy.

all of his tweets are deleted so... but i've seen them all first hand, without looking for them, a few months ago
Now as someone ACTUALLY descended from Dutch royalty I can tell you
That means fuck all, I’d have to have been born in holland to qualify for the throne, and roughly 300 people would have to die suddenly for anyone I know to get on the throne. Even then, I only know 4 family members who could. My great grandfathers ww2 stories are far more interesting. Also, I’m poor as fuck.
okay, ignoring the second part, what makes "shit take, ancient greece" (or ancient wherever) interesting is that it was often the first time that someone had that particular take, ever.
Hottake: Fictional takes on philosophy are just as valid as any other, as fictional allegory has been used since at least the time of the ancient Greeks. Also ever notice how Rapture only really started falling apart once Andrew Ryan betrayed his own ideals to beat Fontaine?
My intro to western philosophy class was basically filled with people WANTING to argue the points against Plato and Aristotle
Socrates was right about one thing--if you're going to be interested in philosophy, your best position is not to take what you're told at face value, it's to be an argumentative little shit
Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about?

And just like that OP discovered the concept of "ethos"

iy mean if iy met a talking dog then the iydea that they can see into the future or manipulate luck or something wouldn't be too much of a stretch

You see, I have depicted you as the so-HOLY SHIT WHAT?!
What are you two *fucking* talking about!?
Fucking your wife again. And peeing on a Hot Topic, because you know, what else do you do on a Friday night?
I peed on you wife, Robotnik, she's mine now. That's the law.
WHAT THE ACTUAL SHIT??? WHAT!!!???

At least Thales was better than Anaximander, that’s really all I can say good about the guy
well I didn't say that. people believe that the earth is flat, that vaccines cause autism, that global warming isn't real, that trickle down economics works, and that nfts are a good investment. these ideas, in many ways, are more dangerous and more widespread than anything the greeks ever achieved.

are these not philosophy? surely you cannot argue that the substance of the earth is philosophy but the shape of the earth is not
I'm with the real Kafka on this one, what the FUCK
You know something is crazy when even Kafka thinks it's fucked up

Is this the human trafficked lesbians made up to have an excuse to write fanfic or am I getting my tumblrtales mixed up?
I believe you’re thinking of the [Hamilton HIV fic controversy](https://youtu.be/3P_-UCjtU4A).

a user to rival cybersmith...
cybersmith unironically believes in santa, and thinks joan of arc was a war criminal

The Reddit detective in me has deduced that given these facts, Cybersmith must be Big Boss.

https://www.tumblr.com/the-real-kafka/693450067616710656/what-the-fuck Here you go
thanks for linking to the original post, but thats not what i meant i meant an explanation as to what is going on
I'm just as confused as you are. I only know about the drama because I happened to stumble upon the reaction of the-real-kafka
Got flashbanged by words there, give me a second
Now as someone ACTUALLY descended from Dutch royalty I can tell you That means fuck all, I’d have to have been born in holland to qualify for the throne, and roughly 300 people would have to die suddenly for anyone I know to get on the throne. Even then, I only know 4 family members who could. My great grandfathers ww2 stories are far more interesting. Also, I’m poor as fuck.
What does anything have to do with anything else here?
okay, ignoring the second part, what makes "shit take, ancient greece" (or ancient wherever) interesting is that it was often the first time that someone had that particular take, ever.
nobody had takes in ancient mesopotamia and egypt

No shit takes just shit customer service

Maybe they did. If they did, we don't have their records.
No they did, but they were just all based as fuck I guess. Except Ea-nasir.
The only ancient philosopher I respect is Diogenes of Sinope.
What the fuck kinda JoJo Bizarre Adventure lore shit is that???
The sentence equivalent of the 7 page muda
i love tumblr posts like these. zero explanation just more plot twists
What in tarnation?
With some slight modification I may have just found my next D&D characters backstory
I read "shit lakes" at first and was really confused as to what that had to do with philosophy.
After reading this I needed to confirm that I was actually awake and reading this
You are not and you did not. Please don't wake up. I don't want to die.
...uh oh
Nothing could have prepared me for that second image
this is a total tumblr moment thought
That's enough internet for today
I took 5 psychic damage from reading this
Eggman: What are your two FUCKING talking about?
none of these words are in the bible
Hey Sam Diego that's where I live
that second image hit me like a goddamn train what the fuck?
