Hmm, with a response time like that, you could very well be glowing me, but at this point there's no harm in the old game. I know the rules pretty well.

Off the top of my head? The only cardinal truth I've picked up (and, really, this is just common sense) is that Gnosticism is just dollar-store Pessimism, and that Pessimism is the arch-heresy which perverts Man against God and creation. Doesn't matter if you're a Jew, a Muslim, a Christian, a Hindu, or even a stock monist (if I'm not mistaken, you were some kind of solar pagan at the time of our last chat, an Aryanist, right?). Monotheism is opposed to the hatred of life and the world, it's in the name! Embracing Being, without systematic expectation or justification, much less logical skepticism, is the true foundation of Joy, and Joy is foremost among all of the pillars which uphold Love.

Aside from that great truth, I realized recently that the Sentinelese are practicing anarcho-primitivists. Also (common sense again) that the Chinese are actively working to destroy organized civilization, ala the Posadists, but through a more long-form destabilization of world agriculture, hence their keen interest in Africa. Can't think of much else right now.

Besides all that, how've you been? Anything new on your end?

I just said I don't hook up much because I'm too busy reading books

>MATTER'S PHASE-STATES ARE HOMOLOGOUS WITH THE CHAIN OF BEING: INCELS ARE FRUSTRATED MANICHAEAN DEMONS, BEING IS A KLEIN BOTTLE STOMACH, ONLY PNEUMATICS JUSTIFY THE TROGOAUTOEGOCRAT AND IT WAS THE SUBJECT AS POSITIVE SEAM THAT PUNCTURED GOD'S SPHERE OF LOVE ON THE 8TH DAY
Being is indeed a topological omnivore, fully obverse (perverse) with no accessible/detectable reverse (converse). Reticulation, Annularity, they're ways of gesturing at what you directly name: surface.
On the second point, you're correct that afflation (holy wind) is the source of genius/glory, and that humility and grace come instead from 'being-moored' to the earth (fluid in static/determined relations to a solid instead of fluid in flux/indeterminate relation to gas [or vice versa]).
As for the 8? Well, you know how thoroughly that horse has been beat.
>how do we articulate an extropic idea of the Good that isn't basically a messiah of heat death: one that identifies evil not with self per se but the self's inclusion in (and mediation by) a world:
Precisely: it isn't realities interpolation with history (i.e. the sum total of man/Humanity) that creates evil, as evil is already extant in the form of a necessary 'cut' in reality it-self. That's to say: it isn't the subject-object 'relation' of affirming that produces evil, it's the object-objectivity division which is inherent to being and will inevitably be surpassed (the fall creates itself as a trespassing, etc. You've read Zizek).
>a logically consistent conception of life/individuality that avoids both maximum entropy and YHWH as negentropic demonism: Proclus is the key: his henads represent a positive, autarchic individuality: splendor without “thermodynamic robbery”/excrescence: “all in all”, unmediated by a metaxu, while humans are “demons” that feed on light*
That point about the metaxu is crucial to avoid Landian/neoautomatic "historical inevitability," as even Marx applied some Hegelian sublimation as a necessary (ideological/commiditised) barrier to stop the medium from being seen as mystic/non-virtual.
>Being is monocentric, beings are always coordinated by the actuality they exhibit:
Succinct, and near to my heart.
>that in you which is more than you”: once the henads click, you'll get why people thought Spinoza was satanic:
Also very close to my heart. Moving past Spinoza mean moving past Mainländer.
>Langan's CTMU, this totally totalizing, totally immanentist, DEGENERATE + SPINOZIST SYSTEM that is “everywhere the same to itself”, is only the basement continuum where life feeds death and poesis:
Precisely, the denominator becomes a testimonial orientation towards being (all that is exists only in order to reach a transitory or permanent state: i.e. destruction as discovery instead of depletion) where it ought to be referentially oriented [testify as to what/why/how the other is to God vs refer what/why/how the other is).
Refreshing. I've hit the word count, expect more soon.

Both fascism and leftism are caused by a lack of introspection. Only the most intelligent and honest minds can realize the truth of NRX and it's joys like Patchwork, G/ACC, and elective technocratic monarchism

I explained my metaphysical beliefs to someone in a thread months ago and was told that they are pretty much in line with what's written in this book. Feels bad to be cucked by the creator of "Dilbert". Scott Adams is unironically correct, and is the latest in a long line of pandeist philosophers

be honest /lit/ how many threads a day do you start on this board

I recently read Stoner too and very much liked it. Ordered his other books earlier this week. Good thing I'm already into both westerns and Rome.

What kind of books does a cute twink like?

People like to meme Camus as a boring writer, but I found both Rieux and Tarrou from The Plague to be incredibly appealing characters. They're both good men, but for different reasons, and in different ways.

How do I stop using "um" and "uh" and pausing in sentences?

I-I like Nietzsche too...
