Tang Xuanzong's (685-762) poem 'Epigraph to a Sanskrit Scripture' 題梵書 (translation 👇) is mostly known for its use of the name Zhina 支那, a transcription of Sanskrit Cīna चीन, 'China'. But it's fascinating for more reasons: 1/4

One persistent myth in the history of world literature is the idea of a “philological revolution” around 1800, when “European” scholars supposedly discovered “non-Western” lit. traditions as “literature” (here, from Aamir Mufti-Orientalism and the Institution of World Literature)

So I’m going back to the OG term “Judenhass,” specifically, I’m gonna say “anti-Jewish hate.” That’s actually one syllable fewer than antisemitism. And it’s clearer, and doesn’t carry all this racist baggage. 21/
C.S Lewis almost died in the trench warfare of WW-I Became best friends with Tolkien. Sold 100 million books... On the cusp of WW-II, he gave an iconic lecture at Oxford University (1939) His question: Does beauty matter when bombs start falling? THIS is his profound answer👇🏻

Zero draft is a critical part of the academic writing process. But a lot of folks ignore it and run into all sorts of problems including the writer's block. Here's what a zero draft is and why you should write one:
George Bourne is now my hero as well. He stood up to the self-protecting abusers and took on the system. The system that did what it was designed to do…provide theological cover for NOT loving neighbors, while trying to convince members that it’s a safe system.
Mass literacy destroyed many complex systems of dactylonomy (finger counting/finger math) used in the ancient world. There were methods for approximately calculating square roots and counting to 9,999 on two hands.
In the "article," Culture Critic summarizes the Nazi state like this... Seems, like there are some things being left out here...
"Box Breathing": Inhale to a count of 4 seconds, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4. So we walked into the surf, sat down and let the waves crash over us while practising this technique.
What can we learn? The big lessons are it's never too late & consistency is key. Also, eating a high protein whole food diet & doing low to high cardio sessions w/weights are crucial to staying young & fit. If you're interested here's the study: journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.11…
In truth, your brain likely never stops 'developing'. We're learning things, updating our neural connections and networks, for as long as we live. If we didn't, we'd just be frozen in place. A non-developing brain is basically static. Which means, dead. /5
Reading old books helps you see which modern ideas end in catastrophe This is why I've collected 750+ insights from 75+ old books in "Hit Reverse" Learn from people who understood human nature far better than John Watson: jashdholani.gumroad.com/l/hitreverse
You HAVE to look at how CSL interacted and w/ LGBTQ in his life. For every person who claims CSL would be just as intolerant & cruel, delighting in the persecution of LGBTQ, they seems to skip over Arthur because he doesn’t fit into that cute little caricature in their head.
There is actually a growing empirical literature on systematic differences in Westerners' way of thinking about various things, but I rarely get the impression that the people who make charts like this are aware of it.
