this is beautiful, but is there no Masora? or is it on the internal margin?

ok this is in way better taste than what I was thinking which was the dog praying tachanun

I'd like to see a version of this w R' Gamliel

I love Adorno's hippo thing it's so cool

That's very funny, but also everyone correcting said person should read Halvini and learn about apodictic transmission, forced explanations, unattributed statements and the reconstruction of dialectical argumentation by the Stammaim 🤓

That culture of having to write 20k+ words in a semester while reading at least a dozen books sucks and is extremely unhealthy, but outsourcing it is not better

I thought the paper was bullshit at the time I wrote it, but looking back it was probably not half bad, it was at the very least very creative - which goes to show that even bullshitting can teach you something - losing the skill of cooking something up at the last minute means you're learning less

absolutely unsurprised that it's a jesus mythicist doing this, they have a track-record of this, and of attracting literal nazis

fush and chups m8

big up the yaks

Chrisitanity or atheism, recast in such a way by a sub-community that it's dependent on an unreasonable claim, either YEC or mythicism, with the denial or torturous reinterpretation of a significant body of evidence in order to doggedy defend said claim

This is the real reason it's valid to compare myticism to YEC and the like - not because it's comparably absurd, but because the rhetoric in which the theory is couched is the same, as is its centrality to a certain kind of of identity construction: reasonable identity, in this case

divine command theory or the like (including conspiratorial accusations of concerted and pervasive institutional bias and persecution) - they might not have learnt it directly from the Chrisitan right but there is a direct genealogy
