Are replies like this the true meaning of irony? Or is it how certain people freak out about what irony means? Like some sort of recursive meaning that implodes upon itself indefinitely?

f.lux decreases eye strain.

I find that it also decreases the chance for headaches to occur.

If you don't know what it is, it syncs up to your local time, and depending on how dark it is outside, it dims your screen with orange-brown tint. It's quite effective, and works better than just dimming your screen.

I have an autistically color-coded spreadsheet detailing the books, video games, movies, and TV shows I want to experience. I only add something onto it if someone on 4chan recommends it. Book section is about 5% complete and vidya gaym section is about 40%. Should have it all done by 2020.

Ah, that makes sense, Here's another question, though: what is the relationship between morality and eternal recurrence? Isn't the thing that you would will forever the same as 'morality?' Or is it that because *you* will do it, rather than blame or shame someone else into doing it, that makes it non-moral? I'm not a Nietzsche expert and some of that stuff is confusing for me.

I don't know how useful it will be to responding to phrases extracted from a browsing of the book, but I would like to say that, having read the book, i don't recall the parts about Dawkins or TV being especially numerous or important.

I don't mean to criticize your position or be a douche. If the book isn't appealing to you, that's cool. I won't try to sell you on it. But as I recall, the Dawkins and television elements are so limited that as I write this I can hardly even remember them. And I do feel obliged to write this much so that anyone else who might be interested doesn't get the wrong impression of the work.

This is, however, perhaps one of the inherent dangers of East/West stuff: it tends to come off as flaky or 'New Age' stuff. And indeed, much of it is. It's also not as rigorous as Western thought and it doesn't have the cultural power of thousands of years of tradition. The few books or writers that manage to meaningfully cross the divide are rare, but I like to think that some of them do it.
