“No arm with armband raised on high. No more booming bands, no searchlit skies. Or shall I, like the rivers, rise? Ah. Well. is rising wise? Revolver like the Führer near an ear. Or lay my mind down by sorrow's side."

Unc still listens to In the Aeroplane Over the Sea and reminisces about the youthful romances he missed out on that only realize themselves in dreams and fantasies of the night. How strange it is to be anything at all

Libertarianism is the only permitted “right-wing” ideology because it is always reactive, its non-interference attitude in matters of ethics will always empower its enemies and undermine itself. Paper tiger ideology, they need to be completely rooted out of the political life.

Libertarianism can exist within an order as a sort of social parasite, but as a ruling power it cannot and refuses to identify public enemies, decide when norms no longer apply, or make decisive decisions. Thus it will either be sidestepped by a faction that can or cease entirely

I really love the final scene from True Detective. It is not redemption nor descent into cowardly optimism, but a transcendence of nihilism. The frolicking of returning energy called joy. The fact that it comes after Rust’s encounter with death and the unconscious solidifies it.

“A mood assails us. It comes neither from ‘outside’ nor from ‘inside’, but arises out of Being-in-the-world, as a way of such Being.” Rust doesn’t “give up” nihilism for optimism, he doesn’t make any value-judgement on life at all. He simply reorients himself towards the world.

“This I know, that between finite and infinite there is no comparison; so that the difference between God and the greatest and most excellent created thing is no less than the difference between God and the least created thing.”

Heidegger was right when he went beyond Jünger and pointed out that this mode of thinking and constant busyness is a byproduct of technological advance, which forces us to conceive of ourselves as labour units in relation to technology, blinding us to deeper, primordial Being.

All these posts always going viral about “I am 23 it is over, I am 25 it is over.” I understand that way of thinking, it used to torment me, but it is mental illness. It is ridiculous, actually.

The deterritorialization of technology through the internet exacerbates this. For us, Gelassenheit can only be cultivated once one steps completely outside of this system. See Goethe’s advice for poets who stand in need of inspiration: Lay in bed and simply while away the hours.

Telling gamers to take their medium seriously is like asking pigs in a sty to use a knife and fork when they eat their own shit. Video games cannot be art because its consumers do not demand quality, and thus there is no incentive for companies to do anything new or avant-garde.

In Silent Hill 2’s climax, James drops to his knees in a form of genuflection after the satanic ritual sacrifice of Maria. It is here that he finally attains Gnosis and full realization of his crimes and, having now embraced his Shadow, arises transfigured into the Hero.

With the fulfilment of James’ journey through his anagnorisis, the Pyramid Heads, as manifestations of his guilt, darkness and desire for punishment, having served their purpose of guiding him towards the Truth (and no longer being able to torment him) destroy themselves.

The way that this esoteric sequence is “recreated” in the Remake is the quintessential of how its developers completely misunderstood the game in its entirety. In it James drops to his knees and screams like a child. The meaning and subtext of the scene is completely lost.

Drinking tonight and thinking about how Mao wept whilst drinking with his most loyal followers feeling betrayed after being sidelined due to losing an internal Party power struggle. But where are my compatriots?

It is a torturous paradox, as Mishima pointed out, that the roughness which formerly attracted us to a person and made us love them can completely dissipate if we ever find out that our love of them is requited.

A beautiful, soft-spoken 19 year old boy asked me out, reduced to a living matter, to the hylozoism of Thales, Naruto without power.

“Sleeping in is a revolutionary act, skipping lectures is a revolutionary act. It is a sort of pagan rejection of the bourgeois time-as-currency ordering for a return to Nature. I’ve long believed that animals spend their whole lives in such a joyous state, you know.”

At night the soul will conjure universes within itself, spectacular and intricate landscapes more real than waking life. In the day it can only arise to bear witness to a wasteland of futility. The entire world will be plunged into chaos for the realization of our dreams.

From his notes, Nietzsche gives these reasons for the emergence of free individuals among the Greeks.

"When I look back on my past and think how much time I wasted on nothing, how much time has been lost in futilities, errors, laziness, incapacity to live; how little I appreciated it, how many times I sinned against my heart and soul - then my heart bleeds.”
