The ancient Greek philosophers...remained more faithful to the Idea of the philosopher than their modern counterparts have done. “When will you finally begin to live virtuously?” said Plato to an old man who told him he was attending classes on virtue. The point is not always to speculate, but ultimately to think about applying our knowledge. Today, however, he who lives in conformity with what he teaches is taken for a dreamer. Kant

Limitless and the Unity of Existence
I went to see a pretty awful movie last night. We went to see a horror film and upon arrival learned that it was sold out. Luckily for movie sales.. not lucky for us.. limitless was due to start at the same time so we chose to watch it instead. Awful... don't go and see it BUT the opening credits are INCREDIBLE. As I was watching them, I realized that it made a nice metaphor for neoplatonism. As the opening credits show, all is unity. We surge through life, with many individual differences, experiencing many individual sense impressions, but in reality, all of these difference originates from one infinite unity.
