#Epicurus, the precursor to #Lucretius in the #materialist #philosophical tradition, believed that we need knowledge only because without it we are unhappy. I find it wonderful that following one's curiosity to bring oneself #joy is fundamental to the roots of the Western philosophical tradition that led to #science.

Education, Philosophy > Greedy Authoritarian Bullshit

When you encounter a young person, introduce them to Lucretius' De Rerum Natura...

... and now they possibly love it even more than you do 😍🥰

I'm re-advertising on Mastodon my translation and comment of passages of Lucretius' "De Rerum Natura", starting with the "Swerve":

Everything in the Universe is made of atoms, the infinite variety of Nature is produced by random swerves.
