  1. A quotation from Cicero

    MARCUS: And so, whatever that may be which possesses thought, wisdom, life, vitality — it must be of Heaven and divine, and therefore immortal.
     
    [Ita, quicquid est illud, quod sentit, quod sapit, quod vivit, quod viget, caeleste et divinum ob eamque rem aeternum sit necesse est.]

    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
    Tusculan Disputations [Tusculanae Disputationes], Book 1, ch. 27 (1.27) / sec. 66 (1.66) (45 BC) [tr. Black (1889)]

  5. 🔥Cicero entdeckt den 'Linksextremismus' neu: "Die Stille nach dem Brandanschlag" 🔥

    In einem recht wüst zusammengestückelten Artikel mit Überlänge, spannt der selbsterkannte 'RAF-Terrorismusexperte' Butz Peters, seines Zeichens Anwalt und Journalist, den Bogen von der RAF, über die Vulkangruppe, hin zu Angry Birds und Antifa-Ost. Dazu noch das ZDF mit Danger Dans Song 'Keine Angst' sowie Lina E. aus dem Antifa-Ost-Verfahren.

    Atemlos, ziellos, ohne echten roten Faden, aber wichtig, wichtig, 'RAF' aufs Cover schreiben.

    Das rechte Monatsmagazin Cicero räumt dem Autor dafür fast 10 Seiten frei.

  6. A quotation from Cicero

    MARCUS: The power of separating the intellect from the senses, and reason from instinct, is characteristic of the highest genius.
     
    [Magni autem est ingenii sevocare mentem a sensibus et cogitationem ab consuetudine abducere.]

    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
    Tusculan Disputations [Tusculanae Disputationes], Book 1, ch. 16 (1.16) / sec. 38 (1.38) (45 BC) [ed. Harbottle (1897)]

  7. A quotation from Cicero

    MARCUS: Don’t our friends, the philosophers, put their names on the very books they write condemning the quest for fame?

  8. A quotation from Cicero

    MARCUS: Death is no annihilation, carrying off and blotting out everything, but rather, if I may so describe it, a change of abode, and an alteration in our manner of life.

  9. A quotation from Epicharmus

    I don’t want to die, but I don’t worry about being dead.
     
    [Emori nolo, sed me esse mortuum nihil æstimo.]

    Epicharmus of Kos (c. 540 – c. 450 BC) Greek dramatist and philosopher

  11. A quotation from Cicero

    MARCUS: As a field, though fertile, cannot yield a harvest without cultivation, no more can the mind without learning.
     
    [Ut ager quamvis fertilis sine cultura fructuosus esse non potest, sic sine doctrina animus.]

    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher

  12. Hype for the Future 214/284: Chicago West (Inner Suburbs)

    Overview The traditional inner suburbs of the western Chicago area, many of whose amenities are often described as “Chicago West,” often refer to the communities of Cicero, Berwyn, Oak Park, River Forest, and Forest Park in the western portion of the inner region. Today, the communities are each directly integrated into the urban grid system based on the Chicago city grid with public transit services often related to the inner city. Cicero The community of Cicero is a western suburban […]

  13. I want to say that this will be the weekend I finish planting the #FourSisters garden. The squash got a little beaten up from the rain (but I have more to plant), but the Hopi Blue corn is still there! The Sweet Potato plant might have to go though. We'll see...The container potatoes greening out, and I just picked up more seed onions for containers as well. The Community Gardeners are into doing a plant swap -- it will be nice to share with others. Our 3-season porch is pretty much a greenhouse, and I'd like to turn it back into a library again (with a few hanging plants).

    'Si hortum in bibliotheca habes, deerit nihil."

    "If you have a garden and a library, you will need nothing else." - Marcus Tullius #Cicero (my translation).

    Can Stoicism answer our dilemma?

    Compare Seneca’s On the Shortness of Life with the Zhuangzi in this reflection on Stoicism vs. Daoism. Learn how Cincinnatus’s Roman Plow creates a utilitarian trap. Oh, and how The Expendables does, too.

  15. A quotation from Cicero

    MARCUS: For such is the work of philosophy. It cures souls, draws off vain anxieties, confers freedom from desires, drives away fears.
     
    [Nam efficit hoc philosophia: medetur animis, inanes sollicitudines detrahit, cupiditatibus liberat, pellit timores.]

    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher

  17. A quotation from Cicero

    For men ought not to be so elated by the dignity of the affairs which they have undertaken to manage, as to have no regard to their ease; nor ought they to dwell with fondness on any sort of ease which is inconsistent with dignity.
     
    [Neque enim rerum gerendarum dignitate homines ecferri ita convenit ut otio non prospiciant, neque ullum amplexari otium quod abhorreat a dignitate.]

    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
    Pro Sestio [For Publius Sestius], ch. 45 / sec. 98 (56-02 BC) [tr. Yonge (1891)]

    All men make mistakes; but it is fools who persist in them.

  19. Jörg Müller @praesolgka@bawü.social ·

    @OhWeh Der #Cicero-Titel bezieht sich wohl auf einen Artikel, der #Milei feiert und die #Hausdurchsuchung bei #Bolz nach dessen Verwendung eines #Nazi-Wordings als Meme kritisiert und das Ganze zu einer Fundamentalkritik am Staat an sich hochstilisiert.

    Die Hausdurchsuchung bei Bolz, die schlicht darin bestand, sich von ihm bestätigen zu lassen, dass er Urheber des zum #Ermittlungsverfahren führenden Postings war, kann man natürlich kritisieren. Die Strafnorm will verhindern, dass Nazi-Symbole wieder alltäglich werden. Hier stellen sich immer Fragen der #Verhältnismäßigkeit und auch des #Anfangsverdachts, wenn im Rahmen einer kritischen Auseinandersetzung derartige Memes oder Wordings z.B. ironisch oder - wie bei durchgestrichenem #Hakenkreuz
    - klar ablehnend verwendet werden.

    In dem Cicero-Artikel wird das Ganze aber plump dazu benutzt, den Staat statt als Garant für #freiheitlich-demokratische #Rechtsstaatlichkeit als Feind und Gefahr dafür zu framen, #libertär eben. Da wäre jede Differenzierung störend, logisch.

    Tatsächlich ist staatliche Macht in einem demokratischen Rechtsstaat immer regulierungs- und kritikbedürftig, damit sie Freiheit nachhaltig schützt und nicht abwürgt. Darum geht es den libertären Kräften aber nicht. Sie wollen einfach unkontrolliert ihrem Drang nach Bereicherung nachgehen können.

    Wer sich differenziert über die Durchsuchung bei Bolz informieren möchte, sei der verlinkte Artikel empfohlen.

    Und zu Deiner Frage: #Notheis und Cicero vertreten damit zwar sicher nicht die gesamte #CDU, aber ich fürchte, doch eine aktuell relevante Strömung darin, die sich gern rechtsstaatlicher Kontrolle von Regierungsmacht entledigen würde.

  20. A quotation from Cicero

    You know the insolence of Antonius; you know his friends, you know his whole household. To be slaves to lustful, wanton, debauched, profligate, drunken gamblers, is the extremity of misery combined with the extremity of infamy.
     
    [Nostis insolentiam Antoni, nostis amicos, nostis totam domum. libidinosis, petulantibus, impuris, impudicis, aleatoribus, ebriis servire, ea summa miseria est summo dedecore coniuncta.]

    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
    Philippics [Philippicae; Antonian Orations], No. 3, ch. 14 / sec. 35 (2.14/3.35.1) (44-12-20 BC) [tr. Yonge (1903)]

  21. A quotation from Cicero

    But you were so utterly devoid of sense, that throughout the whole of your speech you were disputing with yourself, saying things which not only were inconsistent with each other, but involved direct contradiction and opposition, so that the contest was not so much between you and me as between Antonius and Antonius.
     
    [Tam autem eras excors, ut tota in oratione tua tecum ipse pugnares, non modo non cohaerentia inter se diceres, sed maxime disiuncta atque contraria, ut non tanta mecum quanta tibi tecum esset contentio.]

  22. A quotation from Cicero

    Nothing is more detestable than disgrace, nothing more shameful than slavery. We have been born for glory and freedom — let us either hold on to these things or die with dignity.
     
    [Nihil est detestabilius dedecore, nihil foedius servitute. Ad decus et ad libertatem nati sumus; aut haec teneamus aut cum dignitate moriamur.]

    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher

  23. A quotation from Cicero

    No person is so foolish that they don’t understand that if we remain asleep at this moment we will have to live through a rule that is not only cruel and arrogant but ignoble and disgraceful too. You know this man’s arrogance, his friends, and his whole household. To serve shameful lusts, bullies, disgusting and irreverent thieves, those drunkards — well, that is the worst suffering married to the greatest dishonor.
     
    [Nemo est tam stultus qui non intellegat, si indormierimus huic tempori, non modo crudelem superbamque dominationem nobis sed ignominiosam etiam et flagitiosam ferendam. Nostis insolentiam Antoni, nostis amicos, nostis totam domum. Libidinosis, petulantibus, impuris, impudicis, aleatoribus, ebriis servire, ea summa miseria est summo dedecore coniuncta.]

    Couldnt get a clear grip on your interests from your feed, so came here to say this too. Also markets ( #invisibleHand - theory of moral sentiments, and the wealth of nations) , #qualityControl, and #openBSD, I reckon. I'm delving these at the moment and it's super interesting. Also Enterprise Resource Planning software suites (specifically #ERP5 but it might prove too deep for my delving ability) and sometimes #cybernetics (which goes back to #mathematical #complexity and #communicationTheory ).

  25. Fand wegen eines Toots über #cicero und #queer (Wiederfinden hat nicht geklappt :-( .) den entsprechenden Artikel "Queer-Plan der Bundesregierung" und darüber einen Fachartikel. U.a.:

    "Genderinkongruenzgefühl"

    (aerzteblatt.de/archiv/228699/T )

    #queer, #gay Themen sollen sicher mehr Beachtung und auch Fördergelder erhalten. Aber wie weit ist der mediale Druck auf Pubertierende (Tiktok, YT,...) Ursache für die stark gestiegene "Prävalenz" für Eingriffe wie #mastectomy mitten in der Pubertät?
