PORNOGRAPHY AS THE ANTI-MONASTERY: as Bloy's sou burrows so too must sin burrow: unconscious hijacking of the interior symbolic language to produce Hegelian dungheaps of unmeaning: one's coupling is unbalanced when one's subtle body becomes a sexpat in spiritual Thailand: deranged cosmological internet cafés full of hylic World of Warcraft players, slaves who main on Eldar: what is done in utmost love cuts precisely and lethally. Hedonists are those who abide not in pleasure but in magic: partitioning the unconscious collective hard drives is a battle halfway won: each man on Athos contends against principalities, against dominions, against the spirits of the air and the power of a thousand blue checkmarks signal boosting baepilled vibes. The grand magician casting the world's only spell - THIS IS MY SAMSARA, THERE ARE MANY LIKE IT BUT THIS ONE IS MINE - receives a scathing Google Maps review and told to update his resume: as great Anthony in the desert must we flee enlightenment, get stuck in traffic, fold laundry, scroll through Instagram: the blackening, the putrefication, the point of entry only accessible to Guenon's greatest shitposters. Yea, verily do we see through a glass darkly, and woe he who would wipe the grime away! Judas as the ur-opp, the antithesis of bussin: that man is I and I am that man.

Argument against the self: the phenomena and that which experiences the phenomena have no link whatsoever. There is no way to tell whether one is thinking or simply experiencing the thoughts. All that could actually be said to exist, by the account of an individual, is the bare awareness, or the simple existent. When unconscious, this, too disappears, thus it too cannot be proved to truly exist as its own. Thus nothing exists.
Counter-argument: were there truly nothing, no thing, absolute total nothing which is not even a negation of anything else, no phenomena or bare existent would ever appear, nor would such things have an intelligible structure, nor would there be a capacity to be intelligible at all.
Conclusion: I'm retarded

I'm debating on if I should just finish off my education with my Classics BA or if it's worthwhile going the full mile and running for a full PhD.
On one hand, I love the subject and the field is rich in stuff to do, however on the other hand how it's taught is painful and the opportunities for graduates seem unfortunately poor.
