When Putin was a liberal and went on his first term under the slogan of Boris Nemtsov "Putin's presidency, the Union of Right Forces - into the State Duma", there was hardly a noticeable event that not many can assess. In one of the vocational schools, the instructor thought to tell young people about Socrates's death, retelling the "Apology of Socrates" written by the humorist Platon of Athens. Ignorant children wrote a statement to the teacher that he urged them to commit suicide.
Moreover, young people are rooted in the Orthodox faith, and the teaching of Ancient philosophy offends their deep religious feelings. I - the architect of systems with a wide planning horizon with a large time lag - the jaw dropped, this news sent me to a knockout, and I could not come quite a long time from the picture I saw.
It was a revelation from above. Putin forever, until found in a puddle of his own urine as Comrade. Stalin, instead of technological capital - a pseudo-religious life, to replace the red plague - Orthodox fascism. In short, the degradation of 1917 continues and the social code of self-destruction inevitably leads society to self-destruction. In everything, Socrates and Plato of Athens were to blame!
"We have that love that is. Sorry for not much ... "
The whole" Apology of Socrates "is the speech of Socrates at the trial, during which he was condemned to death. He was accused of two pernicious actions for the Athenians - a radical doubt, opening the gates to scientific knowledge and the transit of moral foundations into the inner space of man. But immediately arose the question of the structure of the language.
On understanding ... The fact is that the human language operates with the concepts of the physical world, living by its laws (restrictions). As soon as I move into the inner space between the ears - immediately there is a serious problem that can not be surmounted by ordinary means. I have a conceptual apparatus of the physical world, and I have to use it for the laws (limitations) of metaphysics (over and beyond physics).
But here the laws are completely different and the conceptual apparatus does not fit well at all. This is what Socrates says in response to accusations that some Athenians simply did not understand it.
But there is no other conceptual apparatus. You need to light a light bulb between your ears so that there is. Why condemn Socrates to death only because some people are unable to include brains? The question of language subsequently disintegrated over many branches of scientific knowledge, hundreds of thousands of scientists still feed on this topic.
The latest achievement is self-learning robot-translators, but they still can not solve the problem of using language to construct scientific knowledge. Because here we need a qualitative transition, something like the complication of Newtonian physics of use instead of the trajectories and coordinates of ensembles and statistical data.
A good example of a functioning symbolic structure: instead of producing a political process, squandering the seed fund ... Plato easily solved this problem: I can use the words of the usual language for scientific knowledge, metaphysics, theory of ideas, but I have to form symbolic structures out of them. Understanding the symbol just includes a light bulb between the ears and scientific knowledge becomes possible as such.
It was a revolution. Nuclear weapons, IT, blockade are just a modest result of that scientific breakthrough. Until now, modern scientific knowledge has not been able to go beyond the philosophy of Platonic Athenian, it is just a miserable and wretched commentary on his achievements.
Radical doubt
Socrates divided the claims of compatriots into two groups. The new accusations concerned the lack of faith in the gods, the old ones - in a radical doubt about any knowledge. He was accused of simply trampling on the prevailing misconceptions and mocking the truth.
In fact, Plato of Athens writes about the basic condition of any scientific knowledge. Do not take anything for granted, check every truth. This mechanism is called verification.When I check every truth for certainty, I recreate it again.
So a person at every point of his understanding space recreates the whole world anew, every moment. This is an endless process, but the key is needed to launch - a radical doubt in any knowledge, a sort of test of truth. How to come to the point where the re-creation of the world will become possible?
This is where the symbolic mechanism of language is needed, a kind of organ that generates knowledge. For example, Dante and Virgil descend into hell, where after passing all of its circles fall into the point of equilibrium, where all the forces came together. In it, the hero's transformation takes place, he, turning over, on the back of the monster of Gerion rises through the worlds, endless spaces and many times to the top.
Its internal change at the point of contraction of all forces leads to a change in the topology of the inner space of understanding, and the truth or new knowledge that could not have been located in the points of the space of understanding easily and freely becomes an internal reality.
Socrates walked around the market and pestered people with conversations. In the course of which, step by step, he deprived the person of points of support, destroying the existing myths and prejudices of people.
The interlocutor, being in mental confusion, fell into the point of equanimity and discovered new knowledge for himself. That's why a crowd of people walked behind Socrates, they caught every word of it. Socrates unpacked every property of man as an onion husk, there remained a man without properties.
Only in this state, having lost the last point of support, the person included brains. When you are standing firmly on your feet do not have to think with your head! Hence the constant mockery of Socrates: "I only know that I do not know anything!" It is at the point where a man without qualities is deprived of support falls into the abyss a new knowledge arises. After all for old knowledge it is already impossible to resist!
Hailstones and the kingdom of heaven
The second charge of Socrates was that he did not honor the gods, but invented his god. The Athenians then had gods inhabiting the physical space, especially concentrated on Mount Olympus. Nobody really met them, but everyone knew that they existed.
About the Olympic gods are stacked sets of myths and legends. Practically for each case there was an instruction how to behave. People were completely deprived of their free will, they were toys of the will of the gods.
Hollywood has shot a lot of products on this topic. The main message is a constant attempt of that person, then a demigod (son of God) to rebel against the gods. Go through a number of adventures and fit into the overall system of divine craft.
The main thing here is that the Olympic gods existed really in the physical space and controlled all the environments, the whole human life as an external regulator. Since we have a serious problem with the language, I call this state of affairs by beliefs, to distinguish it from faith. For example, in Rusichs before baptism was also his pantheon of the gods on the same principle.
Moreover, wild paganism passed through the whole history and was packed into beliefs in woodpeckers, brownies, mermaids, water and other evil spirits. One of these days in the Kostroma region, they guessed instead of a stuffed winter to burn a cathedral built of firewood and debris.
Most Kremlin agents talk about a good Soviet education, imposing in this way ideas of stability, a return to coupons, in short - forward to Venezuela. I get rid of laughter. As soon as the USSR was over, very "educated" Soviet people put their beliefs in charged water, rushing with banks to the TV.
They ran to psychics instead of doctors, studied horoscope, palmistry and other delirium. Now whole channels of the zombie player broadcast beliefs. And all this from an outstanding scientific education! This mechanism of belief is no different from the belief in the pagan gods.
In the physical space, the Athenians sacrificed to the deities, in their opinion, inhabiting the outside world, listened to the delirium of the Pythias, drugged with toxic gases and engaged in other nonsense. Modern man takes an amulet, charged with Chumak water and applies to a sore spot.I was lying in the hospital with a fracture of the spine, so one grandfather 83 years old, such a lark, still selling in the stall with herbs, honey, nuts and other goodies fell at home from the chair while watching TV and broke the cervical vertebra. He was up to the last confident, despite the fixed neck, that if you apply it to the TV,
when there will be a psychic, drink the grass, then everything will resolve and the broken vertebra will become in place. I was laughing at him until the last time, until he was screwed into the spine and on the third day he was able to go home.
And now attention! The grandfather before perestroika was a learned physicist with a scientific degree and worked on space! His need forced him to go to the private sector and engage in trade. Here explain to me how a learned physicist can believe in psychics? Socrates made a revolution, he spread his hands two spaces, internal and external, putting a limit to their mixing.
After that, the objects of the physical world could not become fetishes and be located in the inner life of man. Similarly, the delusion of the inner life of a person in the form of a population of physical space with different beliefs, for example, in the Olympic gods has ceased.
Socrates has divided in different directions the laws of the physical world and the inner world of man, primarily the laws of thought. Thus, he opened a portal for scientific knowledge, through which I now write these lines on the lop-top, and Windows fixes my mistakes instead of scratching the symbols on the clay tablet.
The whole modern world, all scientific knowledge has come out of this division. The confusion of the hail of the earth and the kingdom of heaven produces toxic beliefs that destroy not only scientific knowledge, but faith in God. That's why Socrates simply mocked the confusion and interpenetration of the inner and outer worlds. For which he paid with his life.
"God is one, I believe in him"
At the point of the equinox, you can come through faith in God (do not confuse with beliefs!). The central symbol of Christianity is the crucifixion of Christ. Socrates launched an understanding of faith in God as a state, as a process in opposition to the existing order in his time. When it was enough to appease the gods with an offering and in this act, faith was quenched.
Hunters still leave food in the woods to appease the lepher! As soon as I begin to perceive the symbol of the crucifixion of Christ as a state, it begins to last forever, becomes a fact of my inner life. To be in a state of faith, I have to reproduce every moment the anguish of Christ on the cross otherwise I lose faith. But the torment of Christ is not endurable. From this contradiction, faith in God grows.
Here the point of contraction of all forces. This is the foundation of conscious human life. It is from here that it begins and becomes possible. Starting from this point, I get the reality of my inner life. And at the next point it can manifest itself in the form of scientific knowledge, freed from beliefs, Christian religion, Islam, Buddhism, Taoism and so on.
Socrates took all the Athenians by the hands and brought them to this point. He showed: this is where beliefs end, the confusion of physical space and understanding space ends, here begins any belief in God and scientific knowledge. It is very amusing to listen to scientists when they say that faith is contrary to scientific knowledge, understanding by faith beliefs.
But the old man Kant just at first destroyed all five rational proofs of the existence of God, and then mocking the whole world came up with his sixth proof of the existence of God. It is such a methodological method to bring us to the point of the equinox.
"I will not fear the shadow of death"
When people read "The Apology of Socrates" everyone finds his own: the writer admires elegant syllables, chatterbox rhetoric, and a lawyer - proof of innocence. As the first, so the second and third are completely wrong.
As in other and all subsequent interpretations except mine. The text is extremely easy to read. This creates the illusion of easy understanding and avoids the tension of the gray matter in the skull. "The Apology of Socrates", like most of the works of Plato of Athens, was written not for people. He wrote everything only for himself.
"The Apology of Socrates" is a cruel, black self-irony over its own thinking principle, it is simply an annihilating character. And only in this vein you can understand why everything happens from beginning to end under the symbol of death. Under it works only malicious self-irony and nothing more.
And again I use the words that are! In no case can this text be understood in the sense that Socrates is afraid of physical death. Here we are talking about intellectual courage. When the entire inner world of a person is destroyed - this is the main condition for getting to the point of the equinox - a person experiences his inner world and recreates it again and again at the zero point.
This is an endless process that lies at the basis of a person's conscious life. A sage like a phoenix bird burns in a radical doubt. He dies, his existence ceases. Only then he is reborn from the ashes of the burnt world again and creates a new one.
This is the mechanism for the emergence of new knowledge. Dear friends! "The Apology of Socrates" is just a dozen pages of exciting text. Read the original sources! After all, the brain, like the penis, requires constant exercise. Lovely women. Neither fitness, nor two kilograms of plaster will make you charming. Only a protracted uterine orgasm makes a woman a goddess! The term philosophy begins with the word love ... Run make love!
