  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.

  7. A quotation from Cicero

    MARCUS: The power of separating the intellect from the senses, and reason from instinct, is characteristic of the highest genius.

  8. Popular theology ... is a massive inconsistency derived from ignorance.... The gods exist because nature herself has imprinted a conception of them on the minds of men.

  9. The Reality of Dreams

    Throughout Human history, dreams have fascinated, inspired and disturbed us. Where do they come from? Why do they happen? What do they mean? Different civilisations have tried to answer these questions. The Ancient Mesopotamians thought of dreams as divine messages. The most well known Mesopotamian story is the Epic of Gilgamesh, where Gilgamesh receives dreams about the future. They also had dream temples, where people would go in order to sleep and receive these divine messages in their […]

    MARCUS: As a field, though fertile, cannot yield a harvest without cultivation, no more can the mind without learning.

  11. A quotation from Cicero

    In truth, in such a vast number of citizens, there is a great multitude of those men, who either, from fear of punishment, because they are conscious of their own misdeeds, are anxious for fresh changes and revolutions in the republic; or who, on account of some innate insanity of mind, feed upon the discords and seditions of the citizens; or else who, on account of the embarrassment of their estates and circumstances, had rather burn in one vast common conflagration, than in one which consumed only themselves.
     
    [Etenim in tanto civium numero magna multitudo est eorum qui aut propter metum poenae, peccatorum suorum conscii, novos motus conversionesque rei publicae quaerant, aut qui propter insitum quendam animi furorem discordiis civium ac seditione pascantur, aut qui propter implicationem rei familiaris communi incendio malint quam suo deflagrare.]

  12. A quotation from Cicero

    But there is in fact nobody who is so hostile to the Muses that he would not readily allow his own deeds to be immortalized in verse.
     
    [Neque enim quisquam est tam aversus a Musis, qui non mandari versibus aeternum suorum laborum facile praeconium patiatur. ]

    Nothing flourishes for ever; each generation gives place to its successor.

  14. While home spaces were not as gendered as those in #AncientGreece, this article talks about how spaces in Rome were also somewhat gendered -- and in his attack against #Clodia, #Cicero used Clodia's defiance of those norms against her!

    #Scandalisation, #gender and space in #AncientRome: The case of #Cicero and #Clodia

    by Muriel Moser
    First published: 17 June 2024

    "Ciceros thus uses different notions of space for his argument. First, by drawing up a moral landscape of her shameful deeds, Cicero seeks to emphasise the magnitude of her guilt [as an adulteress and murderer of her husband]. Second, built spaces are important for Cicero's argument because they allow him to ‘reveal’ Clodia's private acts, that is, acts that occurred in private spaces, to his male audience in a public space in a dramatic way, thus offering entertainment and creating outrage. Finally, Cicero is able to present her acts as shameful and problematic by blurring built spaces with gendered social spaces.

    "This last aspect of his use of space is particularly complex and perfidious and made possible not least by the fluidity of the spatial concepts at work in a #domus and other ‘private’ places, such as gardens and provincial villas. Take the Roman domus: Cicero could use several levels of meaning in this term. A Roman domus was a physical location with a strong symbolic value. It was considered to be the seat of a family, to the point that the term could be equated with the family itself. And, as the family stood at the heart of the Roman moral order, the domus also had a strong #moral connotation The Roman house was, further, a political and hence a public site: it was used to conduct political business, to make connections and to present the public image of the house's owner. It is likely that Clodia received her guests in the atrium, the centre of the public part of the domus, or in an adjacent room (cubiculum) more suitable for private business, but it is difficult to map these roles onto specific areas within the Roman domus. Roman houses were not divided into a ‘public’ and a ‘non-public’ area: some areas were clearly intended for interaction with people outside the household, such as members of the public, guests or supplicants, while other parts were reserved for the life of the family and the business of the household, but there was no clear dichotomy, the separation of these spaces being fluid, with gradations of privacy.

    "It is this fluidity that allows Cicero uses spatial references to make Clodia scandalous. For it allows him blur the division between built spaces used by women and conceptual or social spaces, notably politics, that were reserved for men. In this way, Cicero is able to construct Clodia's social events as #transgressions into #MaleSocialSpace. How is this achieved? Having ascribed each of her acts to a specific space as noted above, he turned events that (if they happened at all) would otherwise have been accessible to at most a few people – the goings-on inside Clodia's house (domus) in Rome, in her private garden by the Tiber or at her country house at Baiae – into the public object of the trial of Caelius. In so doing, Cicero accused her of having used these built spaces in a manner that had infringed on social spaces that were unsuitable for respectful women, because they were, so he insinuated, reserved for men. It is the infringement of these #gendered social spaces that constitute her worst transgression according to Cicero."

  15. "MFE möchte mit der deutschen Sendergruppe „ein lokaleres Angebot produzieren […], das noch stärker auf das deutsche Publikum zugeschnitten ist“."
    Ja, nee - is klaa. Und die redaktionelle Freiheit bleibt bestehen. Und überhaupt falten Zitronenfalter Zitronen. Oder so. Der #Cicero #Weimer gibt #berlusconi das Medienzepter in die Hand. Ganz im Sinne von #LeoKirch und #HelmutKohl. Und nein man habe kein Interesse in die Politik zu gehen. Zumindest noch nicht.

    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 ).
