Heidegger wrote in German. The world mostly doesn't. Something happens in transit — and that something turns out to matter philosophically. This is a thinking-aloud piece: no footnotes were harmed in its making.

More on dessert experiments.

To keep one’s sanity amid the Trump/GOP chaos and corruption, one has to do small and enjoyable things.

To this end, I continued my experiment with the old English dessert called Syllabub. As a reminder it was originally a confection made with cream and sweet white wine.

On this 4th experiment I used fresh squeezed Cara Cara orange juice along with the heavy whipping cream and sugar, all whipped together for about 5 minutes with a hand blender.

So far, I’ve experimented with Sauvignon Blank, Meyer Lemons, Limes, and now Cara Cara oranges. In each experiment the Syllabub topped fresh berries.

My wife and I definitely prefer the citrus over the wine version.

For a wrongdoer to be undetected is difficult; and for him to have confidence that his concealment will continue is impossible.

On something fun and enjoyable for a change, dessert.

Over the last two weekends we tried the old English whipped cream dessert called Syllabub. I found it referenced in a novel I read recently. It is very quick and easy to make and traditionally includes heavy whipping cream, white wine, and sugar.

The wine and sugar are mixed to partially dissolve the sugar, then mixed with the heavy whipping cream, and then whipped with a hand or other electric mixer. It is then placed over something like fresh berries.

We made it on three different days and varied the liquid and the sugar amount. For the first we used a Sauvignon Blanc. For the second we used squeezed Meyer Lemon, and for the third we used squeezed Limes.

We seem to like the lemon or lime variation better than with wine. For the berries we used fresh chilled Raspberries, Blackberries, and Blueberries.

@Viss you say tomato, i see california being the nascent hub and birthplace of ai porn, luckily they will probably export it to china first #epicurean ai porn feast #strange fruit

The new possibilities of deciphering the #Herculaneum papyri with #AI will have a deep impact on our understanding of #Epicurean #philosophy as many of the up until now lost texts were written by #Philodemus who was a known Epicurean at the time and the owner of this library.

More on this in this very detailed article. The first deciphered text seems to be a treatise on pleasure and music. I'm really looking forward to the first commented editions.

Sounds very #Epicurean...

"#Epicurus asserted that philosophy's purpose is to attain as well as to help others attain happy (eudaimonic), tranquil lives characterized by ataraxia (peace and freedom from fear) and aponia (the absence of pain). He advocated that people were best able to pursue philosophy by living a self-sufficient life surrounded by #friends."

Jefferson was a pagan and an #Epicurean, his compatriots were skeptical of his personal virtues.

The entire cohort of Founding Fathers were mostly deists steeped in Roman and Greek thought, who viewed the role of #Christianity as wholly unfit for the purpose of #governance.

Thomas Jefferson’s #Epicurean ways and cognitive dissonance of unvirtuous private life were the talk of the town even amongst the pamphleteers.

Books? I'd really like a modern take on egoism that isn't saturated in fascist/libertarian thought because I personally think it makes more sense in a leftist context than individualist mythos
