/lit/ - Literature

the symposium is nice but we might talk about Thief School at some point also.

the rabbit & the owl
>hnng

>don't get caught by the Big Machine
>how to break the Law w/o becoming the Law

it's all batman/bond shit in the end, i think. but how *about* that MI-6? how *about* that agoge? i would much prefer to think this stuff as *fiction* rather than as actual politics, obviously. LARPing revolution is cringier than cringe.

but. but but. what makes for good fiction? a good screenplay? a tiny dose of reality, like salt, that brings out the flavor.

fiction is where it's at. metaphysics > politics but *aesthetics* > metaphysics. that's where the *real* magic is. and *this* wise anon already said it:

>that made me think. filters are a human invention. obv the jelly fish are "bad". but human poetic filter can make them "good". and that's automatic - Modern Love is Automatic - we dont even need to think about why jelly fish make us think of say spaceships or the ethereal. it just "comes" to us.
>perhaps we are human smartphones with our collective, automatic, intuitive filters. perhaps that is a Purpose?

the phenomenology of spirit is *that* book. and i do think writing one is a good scene. marx went and took one of the greatest developmental/behavioural psychologists of *all time* & turned into politics. land is doing the same thing w/deleuze.

but *ken wilber* knew the deal. i shit you not i do like that man. of course Integral Whatever failed. b/c metaphysics > politics but there is *always this temptation* to *take the show on the road.* and this is always a *mistake.* *al-* *ways.* you *cannot* take the esoteric and then *actualize it* IRL as the *exoteric* - that is, as theopolitics. it never, ever, ever, ever, ever
>also ever
fucking works. it leads to gnostic warfare. immanentizing the eschaton. it leads to *mimetic fuckery.* nothing more.

hegel knew the deal. peterson also. and wilber. and evola. piaget. lots & lots of others. *everyone* who gets the dialectical unfolding of consciousness gets it. the human mind is psychosocial, is dialectical, is all of this stuff. but you *can not politicize it* and just *run the protocol on the crowd.* it leads to despotism.

art is the deal. you make art so that you *don't* become the despot. or a failed philosophyfag stuck forever on the same fucking plateau.

so. agoge. agoge is fucking cool.
