What's the third one?

Which one do you prefer?

In the past we had interesting threads about the dichotomy between Icy and Rei. Let's try again.

Millennial philosophies?

We had an engaging discussion about these two last time. Lets try it again.

We start arguing about which values other people should support, or, if you don't care about other beings holding your values, living authentically.

So has anything superior been written yet?

Heraclitus and Parmenides of the 21st century?

For those who actually read these, anyone else notice how they are philosophical polar opposites? Rei (MUNDUS) resumes the Gnostic / Platonist / Apollonian side, favoring integration / perfection, oneness, and knowing, referring to those on his side as the "noble ones" and his opponents (who favor immersion over knowing, which he defines as suppressing self-awareness and consciousness, which stifles the soul) as ignoble. Meanwhile, Icy (Orgy) resumes the Pre-Socratic / Nietzschean / Dionysian side, favoring hierarchy / power, individuality, and immersion (which, following from Nietzsche, is seen as an intoxicating Yes-saying to life, life here understood as the cycle of creation and destruction).

Ignoring the tone / attitude of the writers behind these works, they are really simply continuing two long standing traditions which have always been at odds: the Apollonian which seeks to unite with oneness and move beyond the concepts of life and death and the passage of space-time, and the Dionysian which seeks itself, power for itself, choosing to celebrate the cycle of life and death and sustain it, choosing untruth over truth out of a desire for the intoxicating emotions that it comes with.
