> But it's about more than surviving off mystical platitudes. But about the praxis of an anthropotechnic
yes my guy. yes it most surely is. and that is something interesting to think about, i think. i was going to write this elsewhere: *the ethics of kungfu* are *not so easily resolved as mimetic violence* because they are predicated on the notion of *self-defense.* those monks needed to know how to kick some ass so they could go on contemplating the buddha. good scene. very good.

metaphysically, i think CTRL > capitalism but the Way - because the *Way* means *yielding* - > CTRL. that's the idea. we are all beholden to Nick Land's Wild Ride and i think the tao is the way off of it. much tao. much anthropotechnics also. they go very very well together. consider once again the wise words of based taoist ubermenschen chairman sheng-ji yang in pic rel.

cannot find a flaw here. cannot find a flaw. *except* for the fact that the chairman rules a brutal police state
>if that is in fact a problem for you &c

just cool-as-balls things to think about. cannot hold all the feels.

>You are already engaged in the practice of philosophy just by wondering and knowing the conceptual personae and coming into contact with the plane of immanence.
yes yes. and a *collective* and *overlapping* plane it be. it's why i like this idea, if the berserk pursuit of exactitude in science continues to bother us: how about that collective wasteland cartographical royal society? how about that fog of war? how about a little map-sharing? how about those schizophrenic cartographies? let's echolocate. let's get creative. let's take feels > reals at face value and collaborate. much else. let's Flaky Cosmic New Age Bullshit
>or, less foolishly, neoplatonize -

& much else.

>Imagine a Nietzschean daimon.
why the fuck not. suppose truth is a woman: what then? proclus clearly had an idea.

first of all, nothing but Yes to based peter sloterdijk. i have read, i believe, everything he has translated into english. waiting on vol. III/foam. big fan.

see also girard: the apocalypse does not signify the end of the world; it also creates hope.

becoming-angel is a tall order. becoming-wasteland mimic: i can into this. but, i mean. in terms of apocalyptica: it's a fucking crazy interesting genre. eschatology. and *survival.* and Finding The Others. hnng.
>tfw you need to write a long long essay on why ff6 is such a great fucking piece of art

it's all just too fucking interesting, gents.
