"there is no evidence"
1/ The greatest logicians & scientists of humankind rarely, if ever, used the phrase "there is no evidence" to prove any point.
Instead, this became the strongest modern "scientific" argument by atheists, demagogues & charlatans. Why?

Evolutionary theory is academic cancer. It claims to be a science (rigid rules) but proved to have a plasticity that rationalizes any prejudice. A mirror that reflects any input.
It offered no new perspective on any issue not already found in the classics (including ketogenic).

Dawkins doesn't get it. For 2500 years we don't read Plato to learn the truth. We use Plato to detect BS.
Among 100s of idiotic statements it was this Dawkins' single tweet that set off the BS detector... globally. Apparently, the Plato alarm still works like a charm.
Surprised by common reverence for Plato. Alexandrians like Eratosthenes made superb progress. But what did Plato say that was actually right? And didn’t he mislead generations of theologians & philosophers into thinking you could find truth by making stuff up in an armchair?

Progressive academics are amongst the most illiterate on the planet.
1) FR Revolution was organized in clubs & lodges. In the most literal sense, a conspiracy against l'Ancien Régime.
2) The consolidation of Nation & Nationalism was *introduced* in law by the FR Revolution.
But conservatism, from the very beginning, was founded in conspiracy theories.
The belief was that the French Revolution was a master plan by a shadowy cabal obsessed with overthrowing nations.
If that sounds familiar...it should. But recognize: it was there from the start.

- Chair of UK Gov's SAGE: We generally model what we are asked to model.
Jaw-dropping exchange between Spectator Editor Fraser Nelson and Graham Medley—chair of COVID modeling for UK Government’s Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE)—in which Medley admits outcomes not requiring restrictions are systematically omitted from SAGE’s models.

On Heroism
In greek, it is linked to many words & concepts. If we had to pick one:
Ἀνδρῶν γὰρ ἐπιφανῶν πᾶσα γῆ τάφος

Heroism, in theory, readiness to die & ignore material possessions [Graeco-Christian conjunction → Saint]
@_benoux_
What's a hero for the greek, is there a definition of some sort? I thought first that a hero is as Taleb would say someone with soul in the game, taking risk for others, going beyond themselves. But Achilles, Odysseus, Ajax, etc don't really match that. What is it?
