Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831): Hegel has been seen in the twentieth century as the originator of the thesis, antithesis, synthesis triad, but as an explicit phrase it originated with Johann Gottlieb Fichte (1762-1814). His mother died when he was 13. He was sent away to school where he read widely in the Enlightenment. He read Rousseau. He watched the French Revolution from Germany and the reign of terror. His friends read Kant. For Hegel the moment Jesus cried out "why hast thou forsaken me", was the moment he knew sin and evil, for evil is the separation of the individual from the universal. He was in Jena when Napoleon entered the city as he raged across Europe. He had an illegitimate son, Georg Ludwig Friedrich Fischer (1807–1831) with his landlady Christiana Burkhardt née Fischer. He moved to Bamberg where he was appointed as a headmaster. In 1811, Hegel married Marie Helena Susanna von Tucher (1791–1855). He moved to Heidelberg, and his illegitimate son joined him after the death of his mother and some time in an orphanage. In 1818 he went to Berlin. He died from cholera in 1831. He heard of his son's death, as a soldier fighting for the Dutch army in Batavia before he died.

6 month old podcast

Al Franken has a podcast , and he has my favorite Heather Cox Richardson , and they have an interesting discussion. He talks about the knife edge. She really explains the Republican strategy. Flood the zone with shit. Alternate facts, and fake news opens up the idea that there is no reality. It's basically reality versus false reality. The goal is to both get people to back away from politics, and to tell them how to specifically think. Developed in Russia, a system of overturning democracy. Running fake candidates, who switch parties, and running candidates with the same name. Blackmail is a technique. Create a fake reality that people come to believe. They're willing to vote for a narrative is not true, and they're willing to vote away their rights. You can flip it and use the same tools.You can weaponize social media by ignoring the shit, and fight back against all these techniques. People defend democracy. They're talking about community and caring for people and ...
