Knowlegde - Tumblr Posts
Me, trying to ignore my family watching the LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special in the next room: you should be glad to be ignorant.
My dog, sitting next to me and chewing on a toy: squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak
Me: knowledge is a curse you shall never hope to bear.
My dog: *drops his toy in my lap, only to immediately pick it back up* squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak
Athena: goddess of knowledge, arts and war strategy.

TRUTH. What you need is imagination, and you don’t need to go anywhere to use it.
Study Guide to The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy
I have been interested in self-studying philosophy for a long time, and I am now taking it up as my minor in college. I have compiled this systematic guide to philosophy for my own benefit, however, it may prove beneficial to others as well.
Obviously, I am talking about Western philosophy, and not Eastern philosophy, which is a subject all of its own (and a very interesting one at that).
The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy is an excellent source of philosophical articles that are both thorough, and accessible. However, I have not been able to find any systematic index of articles from the SEP which make reading through it chronologically possible. Therefore, I have written an outline of important thinkers beginning with the pre-socratics, and I am linking them to respective entries in the SEP.
This guide is a work in progress, and currently has the major disadvantage of not categorizing various philosophers into specific schools of thought. I may try to work these in at a later time, but for now I am focusing on chronology rather than fitting them into categories. The SEP should do that by itself.

My Original Character 🤩
And his name is Azura for short.
His full name is Alexanthre Zuri Rigel Aziel ✨
Biography:
Race: Celeano Archangel
Age: 25 (physically); his real age does not apply because they are immortal beings as far as we perceive in our world
Height: 6'8
Gender: Male
Hair color: Cerulean with a shade of sky blue; the hair tips have a silvery shimmer
Hair length: Long reaching a little above his buttocks
Hair type: Wavy and Thick
Eye color: Ombre of violet and azure
He is a Heavenly Host Archangel representing the Celeanos. Known for his speed and intelligence, he is one of the few Archangels who bears compassion towards mortals.
He is notable for his unique power of the sea and the sky. He also has healing abilities using the energy from the Great Sun.
Personality: Reserved and easy-going; he prefers to keep things to himself but is generous when someone asks for his advice. He is loyal to the Heavenly Hosts but when his intuition is strongly against some of the Orders, he will "break" it - he knows the rules and how to break them without making it obvious 😅. He has a small group of friends which he enjoys discussing with. On the outside, he seems aloof but deep inside he cares.
Hobbies: Travelling into the different Existential Realms - he is most amused with the Mortal World; creating beautiful "atmospheric artworks" in the Mortal World leaving them as mysterious phenomena ; a philomath
I want to transcend the knowledge of duality. I seek the eternity in the ephemeral.✨
And that's it for the meantime about him.
I'll be posting soon the other Original Characters I made for this story of mine and I'm still working its lore 😅.
He is the main character in the story and I share the same ideals as he! 😉
