The Island That Never Burned
Thomas Hobbes said a frightened people will hand a strongman the right to end their arguments about the truth. Trump worked out he doesn't need to end the argument. He just needs to own the facts in it, and the forty years of dying that made the offer irresistible.https://urbanwronski.com/2026/09/19/the-island-that-never-burned/
The 2nd International Conference on Thomas Hobbes will take place in Malmesbury (of course) on April 2-4 2027. Deadline for submission of abstracts: November 1st, 2026 #Hobbes #philosophy #philsky #PhilosophySky

They are amazing. They can be incredibly companionate, or aloof, or just mean.
It really runs the gamut, much like humans.
#FloofSon #Hobbes was especially companionate. That cat loved me like crazy. It was really something to behold when I'd whistle and he'd come ambling from the opposite side of tbe house, or when he'd greet me with violent snuggles when I came home. 😹

Was Hobbes Right in Leviathan? Only partially.

No, I wouldn't be that aloof.
#Hobbes was my bosom floofson. He darn near lived inside my ribcage, if you get my drift. Just so affectionate and attentive.
#FloofDaughter #Mira practically walks around with a tiara and a sign that says, "look, but dont touch." 😂

Функциональный язык программирования Hobbes
Hobbes - это функциональный язык программирования со статической типизацией, написан на С++ и включает JIT-компилятор на базе LLVM. Похож на Haskell, но совсем не такой же революционный и гораздо менее известен. Я немного расскажу, что это за язык и как он устроен. Что ещё за Hobbes?
The frontispiece carries the quotation
“By Arts is formed that great Mechanical Man called a State, foremost of the Beasts of the Earth for Pride”
which is also from Hobbes: “For by art is created that great LEVIATHAN called a COMMONWEALTH, or STATE…”

„Pluribus“ und die Einsamkeit der letzten Menschen: Über Gemeinschaft, Überleben und die Illusion von Freiheit
Meine Lieblingsserie der letzten Woche war eindeutig „Pluribus“ auf Apple TV. Wahrscheinlich auch weil das Szenario mich an einer meiner All-Time-Favorites Serien überhaupt erinnert: „Last Man on Earth“. Beide Serien spielen damit, dass ein Virus weite Teile der Menschheit […]

Viele kennen zu Recht den #Leviathan von Thomas #Hobbes, in dem dieser einen totalitären #Staat beschrieb. Nur wenige kennen auch den #Behemoth von Franz #Neumann, der als 1er das #NS - Regime als totalitäre #Bewegung aus #Partei , #Wirtschaftselite , #Militär & #Ministerien beschrieb. Er belegte auch den obsessiven Erdöl - #Fossilismus von #Hitler & Gefolge.

A quotation from Thomas Hobbes
The Obligation of Subjects to the Soveraign, is understood to last as long, and no longer, than the power lasteth, by which he is able to protect them. For the right men have by Nature to protect themselves, when none else can protect them, can by no Covenant be relinquished. […] The end of Obedience is Protection; which, wheresoever a man seeth it, either in his own, or in anothers sword, Nature applyeth his obedience to it, and his endeavour to maintaine it.
Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) English philosopher
Leviathan, Part 2 “Of Common-wealth,” ch. 21 “Of the Liberty of Subjects” (1651)

Völlig einverstanden, @rotsinn 👍
Genau deswegen (!) nenne ich zu #MaxWeber, #Hobbes, #Nietzsche, #Hersch & #Blumenberg je die Lebenszeit und habe die #Zeit auch bewusst in meine Definition von #Macht aufgenommen.
Sowohl Entdeckungen wie auch Machtausübungen finden immer (!) im Fluss der #Zeit statt & sind auch vor diesem Hintergrund zu diskutieren. https://scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-glaubens/diesseits-von-zeit-raum-aus-fediversum-und-ki-emergiert-das-erste-perfekte-medium-nach-harold-innis/

L'auteur en profite aussi pour partager son point de vue sur #Hegel, #Marx... #Hobbes en mauvais apôtre et H #Arendt, G #Anders, C #Lasch, S #Weil... puissant-es allié-es. Un peu surpris de retrouver cette dernière, et Gandhi, la non-violence qui surgissent à la fin, dans une pensée aride pourtant du point de vue spirituel - mais elle a son souffle. #néomatérialisme Vision claire obscure de la dignité et de la responsabilité humaine.
À qui veut du soutien théorique pour une #technocritique sans appel, d'une force et d'une stabilité qui me semblent remarquables. Le transhumanisme démonté proprement.
Sweet senior kitteh.
I wish that my #Hobbes had lived to see 20, but I'm intensely thankful for 16.583
I clean out a year's worth of photos/videos from my phone at the beginning of each year (I save them on my computer, of course). So, I never have more than 1.99 years' worth of photos on my phone at any given time.
So that meant that at the beginning of this year, I no longer had any photos of my cat #Hobbes, who passed away in October of 2023. Well, I had a few RAW photos (which get saved to a different folder) from his last day, but I don't look at those very often, for obvious reasons.
I kept a few folders of his photos on my computer for convenient perusal, though, and even had a keyboard shortcut set up in Plasma to bring up nsxiv with all of his photos.
I don't know why I didn't think of it until just now, but I looked and the total size of all of the photos I had selected of his was less than 200MiB, so I just copied them all back to my phone.
Now I have photos of him conveniently accessible on my phone again, which is very nice. :)
Don't be jelly for #FloofDaughter #Mira, though. I have TONS of pictures of her on my phone. XD
He's just too cute! 🙈😻

This is a really intriguing thesis or constellation Arthur Bradley is thinking through in this podcast about his book: the changing modes of the representability / spectability &theatricality of sovereignty or political power from the Baroque (although the term is not mentioned in the #podcast) to now as markers of modernity. https://podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/new-books-in-critical-theory/id593872749?i=1000684059880
