AGORA ROAD ICEBERG THREAD

Deleted member 4436

Alright friends, it's time for a community project, since we have a lot of talent here and haven't done one of these in a while (or maybe ever). Continuing on from the "Current thing meme analysis thread", I've decided that we should make a parody of those "iceberg explained" videos for Agora Road.

I've done something like this once in this past on my own, but it wasn't very good and I've since unlisted it.

We can make it good this time though! I'm taking suggestions for entries and images. I'll probably end up making the iceberg image myself.
I'm not sure how to split up the workload for the video though. I could write the script, though I think it would be better if we got to work on that together as a community. It will probably be narrating in either my voice or with a TTS, though I don't know who will do the editing, since I'm not good at that, or whose channel it will be posted to. We could maybe upload it to the official Agora Youtube, if the admin is okay with that.


Anyways. Post entry titles, explanations, sidebar images, and joke ideas. Alternatively, are there maybe some that should be cut? What order should the entries be in?

This is what we have so far, though entry explanations are still wanted:

Honestly I thought the Agora Outpost was a good spirited contribution on Naglobud's part. It showed a fun and even communal side of him that I wish he showed more, instead he prefered REEEEing and going on Shizo outbursts against the forums.

Incomplete without his schizophrenic YT ramblings over 50+ yt accounts.
Yes, the Youtube channel is central to Naglobud lore

I'd love to get some lore revolving around NintendoChalmers and Vaporwavemaster1, but I'm not an old enough fag to add it in. /:
I was going to suggest somebody add something about NintendoChalmers too, but I'm not an old enough fag either lol

That's some OG ancient agora history. I think only Pirate could spill the beans. MTTS probably was too far inside his own ass (as always) to have any relevant memories of past users. Maybe in a few years we'll be able to name the eras, with ours being probably the 2nd not including the pre-forum era.

    Logic as a discipline has developed A LOT since aristotle developed the syllogism. basibally, logic used to be "if it follows these rules, then its true" but since Boole, but more importantly Frege and Russell, logic has become more or less a mathematical topic. In math, you gotts sit doen with yoyr statement and proove that its true using theorems and reasoning by reference to rules. Hegels logic on the other hand has a more mystical bent (not exactly mystical, but vauge enough to where the term fits). Logic for hegel is much more about a vague sense of the flow of reason in the develoent of historical time. It sounds really cool and nice and deep, but the more you dig into it, and try to put it in toyr own words, the less sense it makes).

    This is a really good point and well-put. I just think it's missing that a lot of philosophy is concerned with truth being self-evident enough to prove it with simple thought, though I wouldn't call Aristotle or Hegel simple thinkers. It's an intuitive exercise as much as it is an analytical one.

    I suppose the core issue is that it creates a problem of unfalsifiability given the nebulous nature of the system. But it's worth pointing out that while logical rigor is important in mathematics or in, I don't know, nuclear physics, human beings forge the enormous, overwhelming majority of their beliefs either from appeal to authority ("experts say" or "this person I trust argued that", etc) or simply from induction based on personal experience and Bayesian updating of prior beliefs. There is the question of what is logically rigorous and then there is the question of what is useful to Man in understanding the world around him, and the two may not always have the same answers. That's not an endorsement of Hegel from me, simply an observation that I feel is often missed in these discussions.

    i think primitive is more accurate than simple

    This is why I hate calling concepts "Hegelian" or "Nietzschean", it makes it seem as though truth revolves around dead men

    It's like saying the wheel is primitive, or the column. Technically, yes, but so foundational that the basic shape is still in use today with little modification to its essential form.

    People are viewed as a new meaning. To become a world-class company. Human resource systems, and new meaning. To become a world-class company will demand flexibility, cycle times have changed, the importance of competencies, and practiced by world-class company have changed, the importance - in quality, innovation, and productivity.
