It is a dizzying analysis of history from a incessently nihilistic perspective, examining how sociobiological evolution is evolving into memetic evolution and how the biological human has been made moot. orthogenesis and determinism. ratification of perennial philosophy, modern philosophy, sociobiology, accelerationism, stories from various religious texts themselves (e.g. he calls the bible science fiction), A.I. and the second coming. He goes through the consequences of all this with a utilitarian ethical slant imo. It includes incredibly interesting choice quotes from everyone from plato to goethe, schopenhauer, nietzsche etc. as well as modern scientists to paint an expansive worldview.

Recently:
http://emcarroll.com/comics/faceallred/01.html
I don't read much Stephen king or horror in general so I'm pretty unexposed.
I made a thread about it yesterday. It's also pretty interpretative. I received a bit of thoughtful feedback yesterday too.
My personal intepretation(spoilers, read the comic first)


The "monster" is a shapeshifter. That much can be said for sure. The rest of it is either one of 2 things:
It transformed in to the Main character's(MC) brother who also ran away when it attacked. Thats why bro is convinced that the MC killed the monster when he comes back to the village. That's also why the coat isn't torn. MC is guilty (and desu scared that his bro might know he tried to kill him if it really is him)and imagines that the brother isn't looking at him and is digging random holes in the back yard. Or he really was digging a hole but for some random completely unrelated reason...or hi bro DOES know he tried to kill him and is planning revenge. Anway. MC guilt drives him to go back to the hole in the forest to check if his brother is really in there, finds the (undead?) monster laying there instead. MC is either about to be killed by this monster, or kills himself.

ORR The MC really did kill his bro and the monster comes back shapshifted as the brother( Doesn't explain why the coat isn't torn, unless the monster didn't pay that much attention to when the MC ripped his bro"s coat). Now lilac is a symbol of death since it's used to cleanse dead bodies. The monster may be fond of lilac and the bro just so happens to be have a lilac bush behind his house.
MC is still guilty and all that when the bro returns. The "brother" is digging holes outside his house(near the lilac bush) because the monster likes to sleep in holes and is planning his attack on the village. The MC goes to check on bro in the hole and finds his bro there. Then MC kills himself or the monster might have still been sleeping there in the meantime til its hole is finished and is about to kill the MC(doesn't explain why it's face was still bloody perhaps it ate the brothers body or it's "face is all red" like that naturally).

My main issue is figuiring out why the bro seen digging the hole. The second view explains it more.

Lovecraft always gets me. It's not the actual content of his stories, it's that he manages to push my imagination as far as it will go in conceiving of absolutely horrific shit.

You're definitely supposed to interpret it as one of the brothers not being the real one since the monster/demon is a shape shifter. The question is, which one?

Also, that the MC's guilt is driving him insane/ he's possibly hallucinating.

I too think there might be a link between the too. It's either the author is imagining one(guilt leading to over thinking to the point he can't get the hole in the forest out of his head) or there is something about lilac, his brother, and the monster

What's wrong with morality being personal preference? Isn't it more realistic for a person to pick and choose their own core values and then aspire to uphold them? The way I see it, there are already enough religions and gods that you can't really reconcile them into a single canonical concept of 'morality'. There are too many contradictions across faiths. If you are moral by one standard, you might very well fail another.
At that point, can't I make my own god to worship?

To keep things short, if you care about studying its etymology, it explains everything, the reasons why there's so much suffering in here, how to do good, how to build up confidence, how to view the world, what really matters in life, in fact it explains every topic if you're open-minded enough and think long and deep enough about it. If you're interested research quranism. The Quran has a very severe, stern and unapologetic tone, this might repel you at first, but if you keep going down the rabbit hole you may find things of immense value. For example a kafir is not a "disbeliever" but someone who buries the truth knowingly since the term is also used for farmers who bury seeds or till the earth, it also implies that the truth can be buried, requiring digging. Also islam means surrendering, it means accepting any rational truth that comes your way instead of not even considering it. The Quran also says that God never speaks to men except by inspiration or by sending a messenger or from behind a veil, which implies that other scriptures can be considered as veiled truths awaiting your inquiry. Here's a few redpills: this ordinary life is an illusion, and part of the explanation of suffering is that we lended the devil power over us (he promised us power, and we wanted it, but if you think about it you can only receive power from someone who has it in your eyes, so we attributed power to him that he doesn't really have) here's another one, the word mussalli is usually translated to mean someone who prays, but it originally means a horse running on the footseps of another horse, and this what you must do with God, either try to emulate his attributes, like mercy, justice, creativity, subtleness, etc or if you can't emulate them, follow them, to follow the omniscient is to study deeply etc...also you can get inspired by the way he created this world, for example he created it with beauty so you'll follow this and add beauty to this world whenever possible, he gives food to the creation so you'll feed the poor etc... this is why the Quran relates a conversation between the hell-dwellers and the people of paradise, who asked them how they ended up in hell: they respond we didn't do salat and didn't feed the poor, and we took part in vain discourses and denied the day of judgement (as you can see, there are two groups of misdeeds and each group is really two examples of the same thing done differently)

I have such a concept as well, something that i know exists because I am presented like obscure symbols of it at times and feel its presence, but that i cant identify, explain, or associate with anything, not even with consciousness, or creation, or whatever.

I took leave of my father's decrepit farmhouse in my modest Guatemalan automobile, making reasonable pace across a landscape bereft of anything resembling what I had come to know as modernity. I eventually reached the general store, a flimsy wooden structure that emitted a dark cloud of smoke from a narrow chimney. Two locals sat outside in the midday sun, accomplishing nothing and seemingly content in their doing so. Their bestial stupidity, likely the result of generations of inbreeding and race-mixing, was apparent in both their appearance and vocabulary.

My eyes were immediately drawn towards the words emblazoned above the door. These words perplexed me in such a manner that defy ordinary description. I shall not repeat them here, for I fear that anyone who stumbles upon this tome will meet the same fate as I should they read them.

I have not slept in weeks, as I have tried in increasing desperation to decipher the true meaning of that inscription. I fear that it is pointless. The fate of this city slicker is sealed.

Parasite Eve gave me some pretty good spooks. The imagery of how disgusting Eve was extremely unsettling. The book dragged on in some parts and the ending felt like it fell flat, but I loved the horror and suspense.

Yet, Hume, being the sensualist glutton that he was, gloated in saying this as if it was a good thing. A Sicilian friar said the same 500 years before, refuting such an endorsement of this sad bondage, and hammered how disastrous of a state it was to be slave to a passion and how it lends to disordered reasoning. E.g. Commentary on the Apostles Creed, Article 4. inb4 >muh no god Let's not forget, if religion was all one big cope, now who was more intelligent? The man who got cucked by his biological drives and had no freedom over his life or what he did or the guy who short circuited this entire process and followed a standard for absolute perfection that would in a sense free his entire being.

I actually didn't read it entirely, the sentence you're quoting is its author's responsibility, and I'm certain that the prophet, knowing that consent + physical and mental maturity are all required for marriage, would have married an actual woman, anyone who rapes a child deserves death.
>>13660792
Good question. Holding traditional interpretations in high-esteem with no critical thinking (a behavior that's condemned in the Quran yet they still do it "And when it was said to them: Follow what God caused to descend. They said: Nay! We will follow whatever we discovered our fathers were following on it —even though their fathers had been not at all reasonable—nor are they truly guided. ") is a huge cause, lack of proper knowledge of arabic is another one, if you think that kuffar means disbelievers you're going to hate disbelievers, the belief that quranic verses can be abrogated is another cause, the verses talking about abrogation talk about ayas, and ayas don't mean verses, ayas mean signs, any of the signs in the world, for example species disappearing etc... "Perfected is the Word of thy Lord in truth and justice. There is naught that can change His words. He is the Hearer, the Knower." Another problem is with the lack of belief in personal responsiblity and how revelation works. If someone reads that he should kill "unbelievers", he doesn't question his reading, he presumes he knows enough to understand it, and he secretly hopes that that's what the text really means because then he'll be able to say "see ? I'm not responsible the text made me do it." yet deep down he can sense it's not fair, he just covers his mind with illusions and wishful thinking, the quran says "We had no authority over you at all, but you yourselves were a transgressing people." when referring to kuffar (concealers) blaming each other on judgement, it also says "Do not follow blindly what you do not know to be true: ears, eyes, and heart, you will be questioned about all these. " yet they know that the Quran says "and fight in God's cause against those who wage war against you, but do not commit aggression-for, verily, God does not love aggressors." yet they disobey it and commit agression against innocent people. Hadiths are another problem because they teach many horrendous things (and they all lay on a ridiculous premise, that sayings of the prophet can be accurately transmitted based on whether the transmittors' reputation is good or bad).
So in other words the causes are theocracy without critical thinking, lack of belief in personal responsibility, ideology trumping moral reality, having a shallow knowledge of arabic, mental illness, and just plain stupid evil. The Quran also says "High above all is Allah, the King, the Truth. Be not in haste with the Qur'an before its revelation to thee is completed, but say, "O my Lord! advance me in knowledge."" Any text you read can be used for good or bad, anyone's responbility will always remain his alone.

Islam does not suit the national character of Iran and will probably vanish in the upcoming decades. In the future, eternal flames and statues of Anahita, Sraosha, and so forth will be built inside such architecture. Arabic script will also be defaced and changed to Avestan. Iranians will also nuke Mecca and build a fire temple in its place.

Sorry, there is currently none that I would endorse, and I've searched for one long enough, though the four last links I've provided hold much of what I'd call proper knowledge (and other links to other websites). What you must understand is that even native arabs debate the proper meaning of its words. I wish I could give more, but what I can say is: think about what I said about Salat and find as many of God's attributes you can follow, when you get used to it, it will be easier to be resourceful, customize things, be imaginative, attain slowly your full potential. Never stop thinking fully that God created every little thing in this world and that He is subtle and aware of it all.
