Just in time for Christmas break! 🎄📚My take on why we should read primary texts, old books, and go through original reports/findings even if we use LLMs for research (even if we use it a lot!). Spoiler: not bcs it's cheating. Enjoy! :) social-epistemology.com/2025/12/22/w...

Sometimes the best way to face and sort out life difficulties is to take a break and read some metaphysics. Beside philosophical counseling I offer one-on-one philosophical tutoring too. www.lradenovic.com/tutoring.html

Scenes from a marriage 😄 Me to hubby: Look, I got us this Zink/vitamin C supplement. You should take it too. It's good for immunity. Hubby: Nah I don't believe that it works but ok. Me: But you should believe! If you did it would work.

By thy gift, O Lord, we are set on fire, and are borne aloft: we burn, and we are on the way. We climb the ascents that are in the heart. With thy fire, with thy good fire, we burn and go on, for we go up to the peace of Jerusalem. --Augustine ⚓

About suffering they were never wrong, The Old Masters: how well they understood Its human position; how it takes place While someone else is eating or opening a window or just walking dully along W.H. Auden December 1938

The problem is that all utopias are dystopias at the same time... The original More's Utopia with all its hospitals and abundance of food is a nightmarish society.

In Hamsun's Pan Lieutenant makes a note that Edwarda wears the same dress & shoes as the day before but has a new hat ... and now I am worried that men have been lying to us all this time how they do not notice & do not care about such things. 😅

There is this part in Andrei Rublev where he is asked to paint the judgment day but time drags on & he never starts & one of his co workers complains how they could have finished it long time ago all with demons, smoke, & fire. And Andrei shouts: But that's not the point!

The very last entry in Tolstoy's diary: Oct 29th, 1910 Sergey has arrived. Everything is the same, just worse. Just so I don't offend. And so I'm not mean. Right now I'm not.

We have literally no pay here in Belgrade. Husbend and I lost entire income. Government cut it off due to student protests in the attempt to make professors force students back in the classroom as if that was possible so now for me it's super relatable 😒
