Very Nietzschean of you to encourage quitting. :lol:
August 26, 2025 at 01:56
I didn’t say anything about creating yourself.
August 26, 2025 at 01:48
I was talking about this: You seem to be saying that wtp is essentially my feeling better about it if it lead to greater meaning (creativity, self-ove...

Again I’m no expert but I don’t think will to power is defined by my feeling better about it than the conventional definition of power.
August 26, 2025 at 00:20
I didn’t suggest that it was.
August 25, 2025 at 22:05
I would feel better about it if lead to greater meaning (creativity, self-overcoming, and life affirmation) than the conventional definition of power....

Will to power may be a metaphysical claim about the structure of existence, but for me it only carries weight if it is also experientially meaningful—...

Does anyone feel better about the Nietzschean notion of power—embodying it as a lifestyle?
August 25, 2025 at 00:47
Meaning you’re fully onboard with conservative branding? https://www.vice.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/08/1659706744770-orban-cpac.jpeg?resize=...

That’s brand infringement, dude. https://www.blackoutcoffee.com/cdn/shop/files/beawakenotwoke_900x.png?v=1693242518

No, but I’m only on chapter 7 of Zarath so I’m not fluent in uber-speak. It seems that Nietzschean values place power (self-overcoming) on a pedestal,...

I don’t get DifferentiatingEgg‘s woke as lived experience thing, but the culture war is fully last man standing in a puddle of piss. That I get.

My view hasn’t changed, though it might have if you didn’t ignore the following the first time I posted it. "…the woke see advertising beer as a perfe...

Now you’re saying that I’m not showing reflection. You’ve been claiming that I haven’t reflected. Not true. I quoted you directly and analyzed the sub...

You said you agreed with AmadeusD’s view that Bud Light’s campaign was "a cynical attempt at identity politics for sales point percentage," even thoug...
August 20, 2025 at 22:33
You’ve engaged extensively with this topic, and the influence on your perspective is quite apparent. Take your most recent post, for example, where yo...

The 2016 “Bud Light Party” featured a trans man in the ad campaign. That was before the anti-woke MAGA moment was in full swing however so the ad drew...
August 19, 2025 at 13:56
You two seem to not be in agreement. AmadeusD claims the campaign was criticized because people believed the company was using Dylan Mulvaney’s trans ...
August 19, 2025 at 02:05
Better, although you were starting from a rather low bar.
August 19, 2025 at 02:03
Your essay, which is related to the topic, is interesting and I’m glad to have read it. Thanks for sending.

He would’ve gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for you meddling kids!

Before each trans characteristic he repeatedly say “like superheroes” which is simile. A clever rhetorical device isn’t meant to be taken literally, o...

You asked the following: I’m saying we all share the same basic gut feelings or intuitions, but we prioritize them differently—shaped not by randomnes...

Earlier in the topic we discussed the Bud Light/Mulveney ad campaign and unlike the AE campaign’s subtlety (which may or may not have been intentional...
August 15, 2025 at 16:51
To be clear, are you now saying that thought can’t be given, only words can be given? I PM'd my email address where you could kindly send your essay. ...
August 15, 2025 at 06:21
Well, I’m sure this is an isolated incident and not something MAGA does on a daily basis or anything. No Democrat officeholder has publicly commented ...
August 15, 2025 at 06:11
Those are rather odd and extreme generalizations. I recall someone in the discussion saying it ultimately comes down to values. People prioritize thei...

I'm interested enough to read your essay but don't want to link my phone, from fear of spamage. At this point I'm primarily interested in how you sepa...
August 15, 2025 at 03:21
If I'm following correctly you're saying: Offense can't be given. Thought can be given. Meaning can't be given. Is that right?
August 15, 2025 at 03:00
If you packaged your thoughts and sent them to me did you send their meaning as well?
August 15, 2025 at 00:05
Is this my thinking that you sent over to me?
August 14, 2025 at 22:52
Offense can be given in many ways—through direct insults, indirect or implied slights, a condescending tone or delivery, hurtful humor, acts of disres...
August 14, 2025 at 21:01
This doesn't negate the fact that it's impolite to offer offense to others.

It doesn’t get any better after 30% so you’re not missing anything.
August 14, 2025 at 14:28
I might be saying unreasonable things because I haven’t read everything you’ve written to me? You know that sounds crazy, right?
August 14, 2025 at 01:55
I’ve only skimmed your trollish responses so I don’t know what you’re talking about. I guess it will remain a mystery.
August 14, 2025 at 01:20
Youngsters can be led by conservative values. I suppose you mean that youths may have a slight tendency to lean liberal. That appears to be statistica...

It’s funny you put it that way, because if King had been more “woke” in the original sense of the word, he might have lived longer—the idea being that...

I'm curious what you mean by the younger being more values led.

It sounds like you feel that I've said several unreasonable things but are unable to articulate the source of those feelings. That's fine. Mission acc...

What good would woke folks be if they didn’t notice things that most people are oblivious to. :lol:

What have I said that is unreasonable?

I can’t tell if you’re being serious with all that. It’s painfully obvious that MAGA has been hammering on anti-wokeness for years, and it’s worked fo...
