Franciscan Pedagogy | Constructing A Bonaventurian Cosmogony

I have attempted to plot key ideas found across St. Bonaventure's works into one comprehensible graph, namely:

(1) plurality of substantial forms, (2) divine ideas, (3) individuation, (4) transcendentals, (5) triads. Image
THE FIRST PRINCIPLE (Primum Principium)

St. Bonaventure begins his philosophical theology, with the First Principle, who he testifies as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He insists that this Principle is the fundamental cause of each and every thing in heaven and earth. Image
DE MYSTERIO

With the Trinitarian relations, are the first generations, above and apart from cosmic generation, where St. Bonaventure ascribes the Father to Efficiency/Principle, the Son to Exemplarity/Center, and the Holy Spirit to Finality/End. These are not real distinctions.

1/ During the same period (1250/40 BC) that the major fortification works were taking place in Mycenae and Tiryns, and the hill of Midea was being rebuilt with new palatial buildings and Cyclopean fortifications, a new fortified palatial settlement was founded on the Acropolis. Image
2/ But who were the ones who built the new Mycenaean citadel Athens? The answer lies in the question of what purpose its building served. In my opinion, the Athenian elites had neither the financial means nor the know-how to construct such a project. Image
3/ So the project was designed and financed by a powerful Mycenaean actor outside Attica and he - according to the available evidence - was in Mycenae. The stakes were the limitation of Thebes' influence in Attica and in particular the exploitation of the mines of Lavrion. Image

1/ Athens has been associated since antiquity with the city's patron goddess, Athena. However, although most people believe that the city was named after the goddess, perhaps the opposite was actually the case. The two words have a common root that is likely of pre-Greek origin. Image
2/ But let's start from the beginning. Long before the city of Athens became the dominant center of the region, its name was Actaea and it belonged to a wider community, Att(h)is < Attica. The inhabitants of Attica at that time were not Greek-speaking (pre-Greek substrate). Image
3/ Several scholars argue that both the word Actaea and Attica, and the word Athéne (Ἀθήνη), derive from the word Atthis through corruption. Athéne is the common root from which the word Ἀθῆναι and the word Ἀθηνᾶ came. So both the city and the goddess have pre-Greek origins. Image

No, it's clear that you either live in a bizarre fantasyland where "Zionism" is the only thing prevented a secular democratic state of the sort that exists nowhere else in the region, or you pretend to believe in it because you simply don't care about the fate of the Jews who live in Israel.
Let's keep in mind: none of the major Palestinian factions advocates one secular democratic state with full civil rights for what would assumedly be the Jewish minority.

Air Fryer entered my kitchen during my fat-loss phase.

And after 2 months of testing on protein-rich and Indian snacks

It’s clear what it improves and complicates

Here’s the honest 2-month review: Image
1. The biggest win was oil reduction.

Air frying cut my oil usage by almost 90%.
This alone reduces 300-500 extra calories per day for most Indians.

You don’t change the food you eat but some meals can be optimised through this air fryer.

That’s why it works during fat loss.
2. My go-to fat-loss lunch became effortless.

• Paneer cubes mixed with curd
• Capsicum, mushrooms, mixed veggies
• Herbs + seasoning

Put it in for 15 minutes and walk away.
Comes out tasty, and filling without drowning in oil.

You feel light in the gut. Image

@AmaniUniverse I am educated with a graduate degree in medieval history. You?

Madrassas have little in common with universities as we know them, as I’ve informed you. India had a system similar to Islam which existed earlier than Al-Qarawiyyin. Both prototypes, perhaps, but not universities.
@AmaniUniverse A university must meet these requirements: A corporate legal status, faculties, standardised curriculum, degrees with recognized authority, self-governance, collegial body of masters, autonomy from church/state, a recognised student body. If any element is missing, there is no
@AmaniUniverse university. The Islamic madrassas lacked a corporate legal identity, multi-faculty structures and a standardised degree system—ijazahs were not degrees.

Do you Even Wonder..

Why You as an " Indian " from India🇮🇳

And Real Americans are called as " Red Indians " or " Native Indians "

How The word "Indian" is called for both groups that are Million of miles away

Time to Hear the Truth That Many Have no Idea of🙂‍↕️

A Thread 🧵 Image
The Word India does not appear in any original ancient Hindu scriptures like Vedas, Brāhmaṇas, Āraṇyakas, Upaniṣads, Mahābhārata & Ramayaṇa or the 18 major Purāṇas..

But Still The Land Of Bharat mentioned in Vishnu Puran & Bhagavata is Named as India, Do u wonder why ? Image
Many Will Say , The name comes from the Indus River (Orginal name-Sindhu River)

The Persian and Greeks renamed it as per their understanding

Do u Think The Oldest Civilization which is as old as millions of Yugas need Persian or greek names forced by colonialist Anglo Saxons ? Image

Not my business, but
Вчера в новостях широко разошлась новость о том, что Airbus “отзывает” половину флота семейства А320 для доработок. При этом это не Медуза придумала (редкий случай), а вполне себе Рейтерз накликбейтил.
«Отзывать» - неправильно и громко сказано. Правильно👇 Image

будет сказать - заземлить. Короче, у аэробибаса есть такая система - ELAC - Elevator Aileron Computer. На картинке синим выделил. Вообще это Фак, Елак, Сек жестко триггерит на известный мультик с Айб Бен Гим, но не суть. 👇 Image

Вобщем, выявили ошибку в системе управления рулями высоты и элеронами, которая может ошибочно заставить воздушное судно «клюнуть носом» с последствиями для пассажиров (кто не пристегнут), и что важнее, вплоть до повреждений конструкции ВС нерасчетными нагрузками там, где их 👇 Image

"Revealed: Europe’s water reserves drying up due to climate breakdown"

Future climate related water shortages, are one of the near future challenges we face. Yet, our leadership, is remarkably indifferent to these threats.

However, the big challenge, is how these near future threats interact. You can without much difficulty, see how water shortages, combined with agricultural yield, and how water shortages could cripple industry, and the economy.

Nevertheless, these interactions are far too simplistic, because there are a myriad way, near future climate impacts, are going to interact, and most have never even been thought of.
theguardian.com/environment/20…
1/🧵
As I have pointed out with regard to the danger of climate induced civilization collapse, no one, no field of science, no institution, has ever systematically studied the resilience of our societies, and our civilization, to climate and ecological impacts.

Some well known scientists, who have dismissed the possibility of civilization collapse, as unscientific, because there are no scientific papers supporting this concern, are not being scientific. Because there has never been scientific research into this, so of course there are no papers supporting a scenario, that has never been examined. Absence of evidence, is not evidence of absence.

Don't take my word for it, that this has never been studied, read the paper linked to.

I have always been very unsettled, for well over 40 years, why no one has been looking into this.

As a graduate in ecology, I realize the practical difficulties. When you look at interactions on this scale, the complexity is overwhelming, and well beyond anything else, ever successfully modelled.

However, even if the conclusion of such a well funded study, was that it was far too complex to investigate, using any known scientific methodology, it would be useful, if only to tell us that we were playing with fire, and flying blind.

I don't know, how conscious scientists/governments have been about the failure to study this. Is it a case of they just don't want to know, because they already know this, because they know the conclusions would be very frightening. Or is it some sort of unconscious denial?

You could only really establish this, if some sort of parliamentary committee investigated this, and asked tough questions of key politicians and scientists, to find out why such a vitally important topic, has never been investigated.
pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
2/
The reason I am wary of starting to explain the level of interaction, I'm talking about. Is that just to illustrate the problem with examples, would be highly misleading. In that it would give the false impression, that this is what the future danger is, whereas in reality, it is this, and far, far more.

We can see this with future water shortages. Yes, you can illustrate it with people's taps running dry, the immediate and direct impacts. But this is just the tip of the iceberg, as water is so central, to so many everyday things, that it would totally disrupt everything. Our societies, political stability, food supplies, and biodiversity, which is taken for granted, as are the myriad ecosystem services it provides. Most of it, which we have never even thought about, until the absence of those ecosystem services, hit us hard.

@NotToday14093 @Killahb1036 Yeah it's well documented the algorithms on this shithole are horribly broken and biased towards leftist psychos like you. Also that it's 75% bots. WHAT A BANGER!!!
@NotToday14093 @Killahb1036 Also speaking of Hiroshima, how's Palestine doing? Did you know Palestinians are more extreme in their social views than Charlie Kirk? Will you ever support what Israel is doing to them? (you won't because they're brown/you deserve to end up just like them) Image
