Do people still write philosophical novels?
  • I would argue any good faith fictional novel is in and of itself an expression of a philosophy held by the author. The words and phrases one chooses to describe the scenery, characters, and plot come from their experiences of the world. The themes that appear can be regarded as the author’s philosophical approach to the situations. By good faith I mean a novel written with the intent of communicating a story or idea, not one written out of pure intent to profit.

    Consider the, now somewhat cliche, author George Orwell. Though not a philosopher by trade, the collective themes of his novels revolve around the causes and effects of totalitarianism (a political philosophy). Yet clearly the presentation of his works is not in an objective manner, he is not presenting mere facts about totalitarian regimes. He uses a strong negative connotation, and uses the idea it is something to be avoided. This implies a political philosophy of anti-totalitarianism. I think you could make a similar argument for modern popular author’s like John Green.

  • It kind of just happened by word of mouth from family to their friends etc. I’ve always been good with computers and my family kind just saw my abilities when they needed help. I did get lucky because I got an internship in high school repairing computers. Some general tips

    1. Always make sure things that should be plugged in, are

    2. Always try to turning it off and back on if you can

    3. Ask before you do

    4. Don’t do if you don’t know, even if they beg you

    5. Make sure you can trust the people you work with, especially since you’ll probably be uninsured when you’re doing this work for at least the first few months. Until you get enough clients to help you decide if it’s something you want to invest in

  • Please share your stories/screenshots of being banned from Reddit and/or Subreddits, as well as other social media platforms.
  • I was banned from r/whitepeopletwitter for following r/conservative then I was banned from both r/conservative and r/libertarian for suggesting that Biden knew about politics. Not that I agreed with him on anything, just that he had an above average understanding of how politics works

  • IT around my neighborhood. If people need help and they have a connection to me I can usually find time to stop by. 90% of the time it’s something like restarting the router or force restarting their computer. I like seeing the joy on their faces that their problem is over plus I control the cost of my time which is nice. Usually it’s less than an hour and the people I help are so grateful that they insist I take far more money then I would’ve charged them. It’s like wizardry to them

  • Ukraine Adopts Slow Approach to Counteroffensive: “Our Problem Everywhere Is the Sky”
  • I think the problem Ukraine will be having through out the rest of this war is air support, especially if they want to continue to implement NATO-like strategies. In previous conflicts, Russia has always attempted to make up for their lack of strategic ‘finesse’ with sheer overwhelming force and sometimes copy cat tactics. I wouldn’t be surprised if Russia tries to mimic Ukraine’s more successful pages from their playbook but with more man power
