The barriers standing between us and unbridled chaos are ontologically arbitrary. Such is their absolute ontological value.

20 posts held, back to 30 July 2021 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 page of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 12 July 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
Lifetime counters from Telegram’s own channel header, read 13 August 2026 — not the date at the top of this page, which is when the subscriber count was last read. Below Telegram’s rounding threshold, so these counts are exact.

Mon petit résumé de Hegel: Le temps est la médiation des contraires, et l’Histoire, l’écriture de cette médiation, ou, en termes réalistes, la résorption dans l’Unité de leur apparente opposition.

Have we been struggling for decades, if not centuries, to retain the dirty bathwater of oligarchy and corruption, only to preserve the imaginary baby of democracy?

The meaning of the expression: "Prince of this world" The gravest evil will penetrate every nook and cranny. It will commingle with every material and dissolve in any liquid until it becomes undetectable. Eventually, upon the sublimation and the evaporation of enough feeble and innocent substances by the slow-burn of hardships and vicissitudes, it will exert its action.

Hardly ever do the creators of beauty coincide with the seers of truth. And for that, our hearts ache.

I was alone for a long time, talking to myself, when it dawned on me what a good listener I am.

Ecumenicism is the Babel Tower on the spiritual plane.

From mechanism, as natural philosophy, to coercion, as psychological technology, instrumental reason was elevated by the Enlightenment from its status as obtuse servant to that of tyrannical master inspired by the reptilian impulses that always wait their turn in the shadow of the human soul.

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @thoughtsandaphorisms. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.

Channels on the register that have forwarded this channel's posts into their own feed.
Republishes
Channels on the register whose posts this channel has forwarded.
Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.
Named by 1 registered channel — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 13 August 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
