Nicolas Cage Wicker Man is The Greatest Film of All Time


#nicolascage #movies #comedy

Were you aware the sacrificial death of Cage actually saved America for the 5th time? No, you weren’t. In fact next time you’re at Burning Man, it might just be a Cage up there offering himself for America. If you want more, see the Con Air Save America Stream here.

Vid – Stoicism, Logos & Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations – Jay Dyer (Half)

In this half video for free, I discuss the historical circumstances and philosophical schools in the Roman Period.

(Half) JaysAnalysis Republic Bk. 8: The Pythagorean City

In this half talk for free, I detail the 8th book of Plato’s Republic where Socrates describes the degeneration of the ideal city into oligarchy, democracy and chaos. Included in book 8 is the esoteric doctrine of the Pythagorean number of man, based in the cosmology of the Timaeus.  Included is an explanation of the metallurgical analogy and the relation to Homer and Achilles’ Shield (in the full talk for paid subscribers).
