Ist Freundschaft nicht eine vollwertige Beziehung, bloß ohne das körperliche halt, oder gibt es da einfach Abstufungen? Ist es ein fluides Spektrum irgendwo zwischen zufälligem Treffen, Bekanntschaft und bestem Freund dem ich meine dunkelsten Geheimnisse anvertraue? Natürlich ist es das. Freundschaften muss man gar nicht unbedingt genau definieren, entweder sie gibt einem ein positives […]

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

2579. Depesche
"Ein deutscher Medienunternehmer hat in seinem Nebenjob als Kulturstaatsminister drei Buchläden in der Republik von der Verleihung des Deutschen Buchhandlungspreises ausgeschlossen, weil ihm der Verfassungsschutz irgendwas mit „links“ geflüstert hat. Und so stellt sich zunächst einmal die Frage, womit dieser Typ in aller Regel seine Zeit totschlägt. Ich meine die Arbeitszeit, die ja von vielen Menschen angeblich nicht so selbstausbeuterisch verbracht wird, wie es sich ein in der Welt herumfliegender Vollzeitkanzler aus dem Sauerland wünscht.
Ganz sicher kommt die deutsche Wirtschaft besser in Schwung, wenn der Kulturkampfminister zur Verbesserung des sozialen Klimas und der Leistungssteigerung nächstes Mal nicht nur drei, sondern ein Dutzend linker Läden auf seinen Index setzt. Das sichert Arbeitsplätze beim Verfassungsschutz, stärkt das lupenreine demokratische Bewusstsein der Autoritären – und obendrein versteht der staatsministerielle Heftchen-Herausgeber („ #Cicero “) etwas von Marketing: Seine Preis-Zensur bringt bedrohten Buchläden unverhofft viel solidarische Kundschaft. Ich habe mit den Betroffenen in Berlin, Göttingen und Bremen telefoniert: Sie werden, sagte mir eine Buchhändlerin, von Anfragen zum Thema „überrollt“."

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

What is the law? A thing that ought neither to be swayed by favor, nor be shattered by force, nor be corrupted by power.

Max Dehn (1878–1952) said that Archimedes’ (c.287–212 BCE) discovery that the surface area of a sphere was four times its great circle was the one of the most beautiful results of Greek mathematics.
Archimedes himself had a high opinion of this result and two others in his two books ‘On the Sphere and the Cylinder’: that the volume and surface area of a sphere and a cylinder exactly circumscribing it are in the ratio $2 : 3$. One can add a cone fitting inside the cylinder to have ratios $1 : 2 : 3$ (see 1st attached image).
It has been suggested that Archimedes’ conjectures for these ratios may have been guided by a conscious or unconscious search for beautiful integer ratios between geometric configurations. There is no direct evidence for this motivation, but Archimedes’ work seems to exhibit a preference for small integer ratios.
According to Plutarch, Archimedes desired that his tomb should be marked by a cylinder enclosing a sphere and an inscription of the ratio of the one to the other; Cicero related how he had sought out Archimedes’ tomb and found a column just so inscribed (see 2nd attached image).
[Each day of February, I intend to post an interesting story/image/fact/anecdote related to the aesthetics of mathematics.]

Those very philosophers even in the books which they write about despising glory, put their own names on the title-page. In the very act of recording their contempt for renown and notoriety, they desire to have their own names known and talked of.
[Ipsi illi philosophi etiam illis libellis, quos de contemnenda gloria scribunt, nomen suum inscribunt; in eo ipso in quo praedicationem nobilitatemque despiciunt, praedicari de se, ac nominari volunt.]Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher

For it is the part of a wise man to resolve beforehand that whatever can happen to a man should be borne calmly if it should befall him. It needs altogether great judgment to provide against such evil happening and no less courage to bear it with fortitude if it should befall.

Guter Punkt!

Aber wenn ihre Kameraden auffliegen, dann geht es auf Tauchstation.
