Philosophy is an erotic endeavor

What classical philosophy can teach us about love

In ancient Greece, Eros played a central role in public life. But we have since largely forsaken the loving and connective potential of Eros, particularly when it comes to philosophy, perhaps in part due to the individualism and staunch rationalism derived from the Enlightenment. Sam Woodward argues we need to reclaim the potential of Eros, so that we might learn from Plato’s erotic framework to foster relationships based upon a love for obtaining wisdom. By exploring countless avenues of knowledge and virtue, we create the potential to leave behind something greater than ourselves after we die.

I run a logistics company in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. My journey into Bitcoin began when a friend in the financial sector shared its potential with me. Intrigued, I decided to invest, and by 2024, my Bitcoin portfolio had grown to an impressive $1.2 million. I felt like I was riding the wave of the future, confident that my investments would secure my financial future.

However, my excitement quickly turned to despair when I lost access to my wallet due to a software update that corrupted my files. In the chaos that ensued, I realized that I hadn’t saved my recovery codes properly. It felt as if my entire financial future had slipped away in an instant. I remember joking with my colleagues, saying, “Losing my Bitcoin wallet is like losing the last bite of kabsa at a family gathering—devastating and unacceptable!”

Desperate for a solution, I turned to online research and discovered Digital Tech Guard Recovery. Their expertise in recovering lost wallets seemed promising, so I reached out to them, albeit with a hint of skepticism. Would they really be able to help me?

From the moment I contacted them, I was impressed by their professionalism and responsiveness. Their team walked me through the recovery process step by step, making me feel supported and informed every step of the way. I was relieved to find that I wasn’t just a number to them; they genuinely cared about my situation.

Within just a few weeks, to my utter astonishment, they managed to restore my wallet and recover my $1.2 million in Bitcoin. I felt a wave of relief wash over me—it was as if a great burden had been lifted off my shoulders. I could finally breathe again, knowing that my financial future was secure.

If we take Eros in the bodily aspect, then sexual relations are a manifestation of love by my body to another body, including the manifestation of love by the penis to the vagina, therefore, penetration into the anus cannot be a manifestation of love, because the properties of the anus do not allow the sensations arising in it during penetration to be transformed into fully loving sensations. The combination of pleasant sensations with unpleasant ones, as well as the combination of a harmonious state with a broken and destroyed harmony, do not transform the unpleasant as such into pleasant, and the broken and destroyed harmony into a harmonious state. Death cannot be transformed into Eros. No matter how much one tries to combine Eros and Death, Eros will remain Eros, and Death will remain Death.
