/lit/ - Literature

I read this not long ago, and I thought it was pretty insightful. Here's the link to the full thing, surprisingly it's 95% gay porn (really)

>Where is a good starting point to Spirituality of the Traditional perceptions and lifestyles of man?
4chan.

So the whole Anonymous medium evokes a Subjective Hermeneutical Comprehension from every Anon.
Self Initiation
Silent learning

There is no World here to "See" with the Eyes , but with the Imagination that is evoked through Words... " 4chan-as-logos" ; Goethe's "Exact Sensible Fantasy"

But all " Signifiers" aka Words can be malleable ; Communication is not to be trusted; every anon can "larp" as something he is not; words only reference a Signified-thing but they are not the comprehension! ( the knowledge of the things referenced)

Paradoxically , this means that in this ephemeral anonymous place where everything can be what is not and everything passes away once the thread dies... the most valueable thing is Sincere Meaning...Sincere Intent....

>How the fuck do I understand Nietzsche
Unironically,
You have to be Redpilled on Abrahamism; be aware of the Rosicrucians; Giordano Bruno and the Hermetic Tradition; Have Animist Influences through Japanese Culture; Have read or watched media of the Greek Myths...read LOTR....

These Books will give you a solid ground to Comprehend Nietzsche:
>Jan Assmann; Moses the Egyptian
>Freud; Essays on Monotheism
>Jung; Autobiography
>Kerenyi & Jung; The Science of Mythology
And have a well rooted understanding of Anonymous Chan Culture helps.

>I'm now getting completely fucking off track, because I see that I'll need to introduce his conception of World, of everydayness, of "ready at hand" and merely "present at hand", how Time is a fundamental property of Dasein, that we're all immersed in Meaning (Bedeutung). I'd have to tell you about how your relation to non-Dasein beings is on par with your relation to other Dasein. It's a complete fucking shitshow of new words and this immense edifice of words, words, and words.
People should just come here and Lurk.

>and then what? What realization have you made in all of this, where has it taken you?
>Pic related.
That the World is a Synthesis of Opposites; That Opposites are held together, like the God Janus; Doors to provide Depth to their Counterparts.
Fiction and Real; Fiction in Reality; Reality in Fiction
Dream and Nightmare
Sacred and Profane

And well that we are Ephemeral; Beings Being in the World.

Death can have no physical meaning

How to solve the Abrahamic Question?
To belief or not Belief?

Realize you never have to answer a Question that is meant to not Synthesise you with the World.
There is no going back to pre-Christianity; Indo-European Animism has always moved Forward with us all this time.
I Intuit 4chan meme culture, which is a Sense making, Sense Expression of the Spectrum of Human Experience, of Instinctual Feelings and Abstract Conceptions is Animism; Kek, Honkler, Wojek,Pepe; all Mythologems that have been with us since for ever ( See Kerenyi & Jung work on Mythology) ; Being in 4chan; No Anon can Prove we talk to other Anons in threads, we can't sense if we are really real, but we do Know things shared and created hold Meaning, and so we Stand our Ground in Meaning, we don't need "Blind Belief"

I worry if 4chan will become just as bland as Reddit. 4chan was just slightly less susceptible to the phenomenon that took over Reddit (once a forum for tech-savvy posters back when subreddits didn't even exist). Maybe banality will metastasize eventually when a platform simply becomes too big, regardless of it's design?

>i know nietzsche is all about overcoming nihilism on your own terms but the more i think about it, the more this shit is depressing mang. i feel like if i truly accept nihilism i’ll have some sort of psychotic breakdown like nichee.
>i feel like if i truly accept nihilism
You don't need to accept it; its already "here".
>God is Dead
The Christian God became the Awareness of the Meta-Narrative: Death.

Aeschylus, Prometheus Bound 250 ff (trans. Weir Smyth) (Greek tragedy C5th B.C.) :
>"Prometheus : Yes, I caused mortals to cease foreseeing their Doom (Moros).
>Chorus : Of what sort was the cure that you found for this affliction?
>Prometheus : I caused Blind Hopes (Elpides) to dwell within their breasts.
>Chorus : A great benefit was this you gave to mortals."
>Prometheus seems to be saying that he was the one who stayed Hope inside the jar, when the other evils escaped.
Christianity robbed us from Hope.

>Foreseeing the certainty of their own Death would deprive mortals of lifealtogether, since life thrives in the partial vacuum of fear and hope poised between desire and its object. Eros, as human life, is what Plato called a μὴ ὄν, an ephemeral state of existence
>Hence human life, psychoanalysis teaches us wittingly or unwittingly, is mortal because It already contains death as one of its essential elements.

>why did he even write his works to share if nothing matters
Because it's the Meta-Narrative that doesn't matter.
An Ephemeral Existance means that the only thing to do is to create things of Beauty.
Chan Culture; here Content Creation is the Highest Value and why even though Digital & Anonymous, it feels more Alive and Real than being IRL.

Do you think anonymity on the Internet facilitates human behavior to act in accordance with the Invisible Hand?
