praxis

They chase knowledge, virtue, salvation — yet forget the one lesson worth learning: how to move like a god drunk on the music of chance.

It’s been some years but I would say good and worthwhile. Though it was not the intention of either book, I developed somewhat of an appreciation for ...

Nature counts bodies, but spirit weighs them: a thousand empty shells are as nothing beside one overflowing soul. Dance bitches!

A brief life spent in fierce self-overcoming, though it perish, is worth more than the endless survival of the meek.

Are you at all familiar with his, uh, less than kind hearted beliefs? I could compile a list.

Behold Wagner, who would have made the world a temple of sound — yet his temple became a tomb. The German herd bowed to incense, not fire. Nietzsche w...

As long as it's "in your face" in the traditional way, there's no relationship. If it's "in your face" in a non-traditional way—like in a man's face—t...

Is the only critique of anti-woke to come from the woke?

The dodo did not fall to the hunter’s club but to its own peace: paradise made it tame, and tameness is the slowest form of suicide.

The latest anti-woke fascist move by the Trump administration is to deny trans their Second Amendment rights. Nevermind the fact that less than 0.1% o...

Nietzsche should only be discussed in aphorisms. I tried it today and it works pretty nicely.

I looked it up. When they asked about all the bird avatars I wrote: It would be nice if that were true.

Reactive fury is a counterfeit of power: it shouts, it strikes, and all the while it gnaws its own heart.

Every morality is a shadow cast by power. What matters is not the shadow, but whether the light behind it warms life or withers it.

You Must Change Your Life by Peter Sloterdij

Welcome to the flock. I remember a new member saying the bird avatars felt cultish. I tried to argue that maybe cults weren’t so bad—just unfairly jud...

The same basic power dynamics exist in religion. Though he presents it with a joke, Žižek makes a direct comparison between Rabbis and wokesters. Do y...

If you’re talking about corn flakes that’s basically what we call breakfast nachos.

What is the proper cure?

This doesn't address how "one's wrongdoing paradoxically grants a kind of moral authority." Žižek underscores the point that morality is power in disg...

They’re also high in lycopene, a powerful antioxidant and good for prostate health.

"The mediator between the head and the hands must be the heart reevaluation of values."

Textbook refusal to admit it’s a fallacy fallacy.

Classic hasty generalization fallacy.

I've only read anti-woke books like Cynical Theories by Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay, Material Girls by Kathleen Stock, and really awful ones lik...

I think you mean to say that sounds move through the air to ear drums. Words do not. Right?

That took seconds, the hard part was deciding on an EO graph. And stoicism has been out for ages. I’m a Nietzschean now. Will to power, baby! :strong:

You misspelled progpagandist.

I guess it’s an inside joke.

At core it seems to imply that an individual is an independent being. Nothing could be further from the truth.

@"NOS4A2" The first post listed in the search for your mentioning "Biden" (743 instances) is your protesting his excessive use of executive orders... ...

I just did a search and there are 743 instances of you mentioning Biden on this public forum. I didn't read any of the posts listed but I assume they ...

I just thought it would be funny in a dumb sort of way if you were to defend flag burning as a form of protest like Trump's opponents. Don't mind me.

You’re against the right to safely burn a flag that you own as a form of protest? What other liberties are you against?

There is no escaping the weight of external values, and every student at first confronts the limits of their own abilities. Yet instruction, when it a...

Now I feel irrelevant.

I haven't determined how meaningful it is to me yet. I'm defiantly interested.

How so?

My feeling about it is inaccurate?

Can you point out an inaccuracy?

Meaning you don't use limits as resistance to grow stronger and simply quit when you've hit your limit?

So rather than struggle you always quit when faced with a challenge that interests you?

How so?
