I love the play on ... ( 1 month ago by AestheticizeAnalog)

I love the play on materialism or idealism (intentional or not) with regards to Hegel and Kant's comment about the Greek goal vs. Marx's.

well it wouldn't be a "paradox" if that could actually happen. in fact he got to the stadium, but he felt it was appropriate to die and strangled himself.

The real paradox is ... ( 1 month ago by noliketoregister)

The real paradox is that Zeno never figured out that by this logic he could never have moved at all in the first place.

i think he got that ... ( 1 month ago by merdufer)

i think he got that. he used that "paradox" for reductio proof to get to the claim that motion is impossible.
i think the paradox lies in the fact that motion is possible in real life, but not possible according to his seemingly correct logic.

Marx is just being a little bitch.

No, that's what's ... ( 1 month ago by sabcatobu)

No, that's what's great. If you watch the tape, you'll see that Marx is right. Socrates *is* off-sides. Marx is the only one who's right, the only philosopher interacting with the actual world. The skit supports Marx's famous thesis on Feuerbach: The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways; the point is to score a goal while not getting off-sides. (Or something close to that.)

Beckenbauer is well ... ( 3 weeks ago by artfantasies)

Beckenbauer is well placed in this match because he had read Confuzius ;). You could have seen this 1990 at the world champion ship in Italy, he went nuts. But I thought Socrates was a brasilian libero? : o
As the referee Kirkegaard would be the right one because of his measured steps IMO. Marx is fantastic here.

...what people ... ( 3 weeks ago by Sioux2)

...what people don't understand is that Dionysos offered one of his balls - the one in black and white - just to give them little creatures some entertainment.
So why was it that Socrates scored, not realizing there was Dionysos watching with a whimsical smile, thinking: "Look at 'em little creatures enjoying themselves, cheering for a virtual victory - while being on a fast slide downhill!"
(Anyway, feel free to check out my videos/playlists for some Dionysos material)

With no kick off, each team should've been on their own side. Poor job Confucious.
