What a feisty thread lol.

Gonna add UHF, Monsieur Verdoux, and Charade. And Working Girl. No grind set, just bad ass movies.

UHF is a 1989 American comedy film starring "Weird Al" Yankovic...

Never heard of this movie but I used to listen to Weird Al on my cassette player in my bunk bed as a kid. Def gonna check it out.
It's really fucking good. And giddily anti-corporate. Weird Al rules!

More great movies. I doubt you've seen ALL of these. This is a sigma grindset list. Not on Netflix.
Little older than gen y, but 'Le Samourai' is a real masterpiece, and I would definingly recommend watching it.
Le Samourai (1967)

Gotta link to a copy online?

View: https://archive.org/details/le-samourai-1967

Link has the full movie it seems, can't vouch for it too much though, as I watched it through legitimate services, but it seems alright.
Edit: Whoops, that's the original French version, my bad.

Seems like you'll have to stream it or learn French my guy. Found a torrent link @ https://yts.mx/movies/le-samourai-1967 that should have had subtitles, but it didn't. Feel free to give her a go yourself. Sie does have some pop-ups when you try to download though, so don't fuck up your computer on accident mkay?

You have to be retarded or a larping zoomer to think they didn't play Starship Troopers 1 - 3, DeathRace 2000, The Good The Bad & The Ugly, West World, and Farenheit 451 on cable. Watched them all on cable. In fact, even watched Farenheit 451 in 6th grade Lit Studies after we finished reading the original book.

All these movies are classic boomer shit that they'd rant and rave about being the best classics ever. Or maybe my scifi and western loving family was just different? Doubt it, though, because all my non-zoomer friends know aboit these movies and have seen most of them too.

Larp harder expat-bro.
My local cable here in Guatemala broadcasted those movies,, i watched They Live, Karate Kid, Pulp Fiction the whole Mad Max trilogy and many more in Canal 4 (channel 4), hell i even watched Clint Eastwood movies with my father (because he is a fan of clint eastwood and westerns) when i was a kid, so i can confirm that they in fact broadcast this kind of movies on cable, it's not that weird at all, is just like anime, the license of classic movies are really cheap.

The only title there that is surprising is They Live. Karate Kid certainly wasn't on my list, neither was Pulp Fiction or Mad Max. The reason they probably played They Live in your country is because the priest that helps is catholic, and y'all worship catholicism throughout central america.
Not really, Protestantism is more strong than catholicism in Central America, in fact guatemala and honduras had almost a majority of protestants, and the numbers increase every year, so catholicism isn't a big deal around here really.

    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.

    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.
