Is rationality a form of intellectual cuckoldry? Think about it - to use rational methods and logical constructs one must accept the premise that every possible intellectual endeavour is solved a priori by some higher, Chad-like commandment of logical structure. To avoid becoming a cuck, a man must think, and act, on pure emotional impulse (inner drive, Will-to-Power, call it whatever you want).

Well considering it leads inevitably to antinatalism, quite possibly.

Rationality is fear. Fear of becoming.

It's like in physical existence OP. You have to follow the command structure until you have enough power to take power on your own. You have to follow rationality until you're strong enough to overpower it at a weak-point, that's how all advances in science and art are made. It's also why science sucks nowadays, since physicists are so cucked that they follow the branches of logic all the way to dead end twigs like string theory rather than breaking out on their own

I thought cuckoldry was the thinking man's fetish

Considering devoting yourself to be rational all the time locks you into a rigid and systemized way if thinking, yes.

It is if you treat rationality as some exterior mental omnipotence rather than a tool that is your property.

fun fact: despite the natural world not being created by humanity, humanity has been able to harness it for its own purposes

have you tried not being obsessed with trying to find a "true purpose" in life? Imagine thinking that the entirety of logical rules is a cuck. You are literally saying that making the logical statement that "if a then b" is a cuck. You're saying you cannot even make inferences anymore.

A man cannot think nor act on pure emotional impulses for the sole reason that in order to act in order to accomplish a goal, logic must be used in order to create a cause-effect relationship. Just fucking lobotomize yourself into a vegetative state so you will no longer have the capacity for logical thought.

That's the things though, He never actually did, there's just the one perfect reality

No one acts from any one aspect of himself alone without being deluded. Why not subordinate logic to your emotions?

>> No.12438404

Absolutely. I was a science fag until I realized I merely submitted to science as a political institution. Now I just cherrypick whatever science I feel like and which one will provide me with immediate gains.

Men only, always, and ever act on pure emotional impulses. There is nothing else available
