Imagine not reading an entire post but feeling obligated to reply. Imagine not even reading past the first sentence, where a sighting of Plato should have prompted to you that my point was that balance is key, and that those who prioritize fitness over music, literature, and philosophy are overly rash (Republic). Even if I were to try and balance the scales and fight for your favor--something I am prone to do--it's hard, seeing that you can't even grace me with a funny, let alone witty, response. Imagine waking up on a friday, imagining me fat, calling me fat, and then defending yourself in the next post saying you wasted no time typing out a few sentences and that I'm overthinking things. Imagine seriously going through with pressing that enter button, and then thinking about what you're going to eat and being weighed down by such bodily thoughts that Jesus and Epictetus argued against.

If you have no mental problems in your life (including effeminacy) then don't bother. Otherwise, you know what to do.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra Book I.II

Is Nietzsche (Zarathustra) saying those who can't sleep are on their way?

good enough advice/pic related is something I made a couple months back. I could add Boethius and put him next to Cicero

There's a throwaway line that I was PRETTY SURE was in Underworld but I guess it has to be in White Noise because I just ctrl+f'd the pdf and couldn't find it. It's a very throwaway line about "shoulder pain" that comes out of nowhere for no reason. Where is it in Mao II?
