Leo Strauss

Leo Strauss is one of the founding fathers of neoconservativism, the teacher of neocon figures such as Paul Wolfowitz, and the guiding light of the rest of them. I haven't read his writings on Plato, so i can't really comment on that, but it seems that he just slightly misunderstood Plato's ideas of myth and its uses, a slight misunderstanding with disastrous consequences . . . But that's just me talking out of my ass, i don't actually know.

I do know that i vehemently agree with his political philosophy and the movement it spawned, at least when it comes to praxis. I'm not a relativist by any means, imo striving for a beautiful society is very important etc, but the implementation and teaching of these ideas is best done through very different means . . .

entirely possible. I don't blame Jesus for George Bush. ;) Strauss is next on my list of people to read . . . --heah 00:07, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 05:58, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
