>unable to accumulate it for themselves, i
SLAVE SPOTTED! Power must be radiated and given without gain, like the explosions of the sun. Anything less is constipation, obesity, ressentiment. You cannot stockpile it endlessly like some peasant turned banker.

>What if aztecs were the true ubermensch?
haha yeah that would be really wild if they already knew the protestant work ethic of eternal accumulation without expenditure was doomed to explode without having ever heard of it, and went to war for seasonal divine fun and not because of totalitarianizing schizobabble

>total fucking warfare
it's called Islam and it was devised for this express purpose

keep seething, the entire planet is going to be potlached to itself, massive human sacrifice in the form of the next few decades of wars, famines, floods, droughts... the last vestiges of slave morality will die by necessity since it will be suicidal not to sacrifice. Bataille's surrealist cohort at the time could not begin to imagine there was anything after class conflict because they considered political power to be the only valuable resource and what vanguardist would literally sacrifice his chance at attaining it? But in our lifetimes we may live to see actual power become scarce, keeping the lights on and not keeping seats in a government is the struggle! How much will you be willing to jettison in contest with the other survivors of this century, those who've decided bunkers and floating palaces on the ocean are the answer to the crisis of a general economy ready to pop? Not to achieve communism—as the machine will have defeated the worker—but to achieve sovereignty?

Your great great grandparents had even more! Your great great great grandfather probably had more sex with his wife than you will ever have with any grand total of women in your lifetime. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvcEP0EjqIc

Shestov was a friend of Bataille. Looks like /lit/ will become a Bataillean board after all. Good luck zoomzoom

You are wrong

/lit/ will become a Bataillean board

I believe we can grandfather Bataille in as an author rather than a philosopher. 2022 is the year /lit/ will become a Bataillean board.

Well where this gets interesting is that too much stability creates too much growth. Cancerous, explosive, unable to be safely discharged. That WWII-present period of not quite hundred years has racked up quite the surplus and our ability to consume it responsibly is starting to show its age. So there is a creeping polarization over the last twenty years, which has gotten to a point where each side just reads their own news, wants to grab the entire pot and be reckless with it, to have power over it and show they have power over it. Once the boomers are totally extinct it's going to be the biggest wealth redistribution in history. What will the polarized and spoiled children of the surplus do with it? What ideologies will they mouth off as a pretext for outconsuming their rivals? We'll have to see, but history is not over. The discourse is just enfeebled

>if you read Bataille's main theoretical corpus it is quite evident that his philosophy is a grappling with Hegel and that this takes place with Bataille's key inversion of the Absolute
Yes you can come away with an inverted Hegel, an aristocratic Marx, or an esoteric Nietzsche as the core of things. He is a great thinker and /lit/ will become a Bataillean board

What's going on in this thread?

Materialism is an idealism

Now that they've left the seminary /lit/ can finally become a Bataillean board
