“The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.”

This quote by Carl Sagan sums up the anti-human trojan horse that is modern science. No, Carl! The universe is a way to know ourselves! Consciousness is the important part, not some chemical reactions in time and space.
Look at all those bugmen who "love science!", looking at digitally enhanced hubble photos like a billion fireworks in stasis; mouths agape, eyes wet in awe.
They never make the connection that the billions of stars are just matter, like everything, and that their prejudice tends toward the iridescent, yet the most unique process in 14 billion years (by their count): consciousness is relegated to matter worshipping matter.

I've just travelled from the Netherlands to Switzerland, and I'm a bit shocked at how ugly, unfashionable, and generally unkempt people are here. Over in Holland I'm used to most men wearing business casual (siding mostly on casual) or at least acceptable swag-wear, but the people of Basel are a mess. Dreadlocks, graphic tees, cargo shorts, dreadful all round, over hundreds of cities I have never been to a place where the people are so blatantly ugly. Airport was fucked too, with how poorly organised it was I'm beginning to agree that we might as well just open everything up again and get it over with.

Trying to study French by absorbing as much of the language as possible (mainly by reading books). I can understand the l'Etranger without looking at the dictionary too much but I went to go read Harry Potter and it fucking knocked me off the pedestal I was on. So at the rate I'm learning it seems like I'll be fluent in a decade! I just want to fucking read. I don't care about speaking as much.

Not an argument.

At times I want nothing more than to blog fiercely about the dilapidated politics of my country. For one thing I am all for it because I offer genuinely penetrating analysis, fresh wit, and original ideas that aren't to be found elsewhere. Who could stand to bother with something so unpleasant if they were only going to churn out more of the same? At the same time an excessive preoccupation with politics violates one of my cardinal rules. To be too absorbed in politics is a sign of a decentered self ; it's a sign of lost autonomy and of objectification by circumstances, of surrender to an "external locus of control." Man may indeed be a political animal. What few stop to consider is that it is the politics which reduces him to the crude status of an animal. Giving yourself over to politics to the point of obsession and nasty emotions is an ugly thing indeed. It does nothing except rip you away from yourself, to fix you brutally amid the crude and unreflective sentiments of an age. It is a call not to think, carefully and critically about the nuanced problems afflicting your nation, but to pick a side and to sign off on whatever common denominator opinion that is most widely intelligible.

Yeah. It sucks to talk about politics when you want to analyze every problem individually yet people demand that you pigeonhole yourself into a specific ideology just so they can criticize that ideology rather than commenting on the individual issue.

I’m thinking about the patterns you see when you close your eyes and rub them. Under cover of darkness light emerges.

Rubbing your eyes produces patterns of white and red and blue, angels without names, Islamic religious icons displaying glory without face or form. In the spectrum of light, black is the combination of all colors, and white is their absence, so how can white emerge out of black? Surely light never emerges out of darkness. Lungs containing air, out of atoms arranged in magnetic array – sheer existence is the only exception to that law. Surely light never emerges out of darkness, but it is inevitable that darkness will come from light. Decay is in all things. So why, then, when I close my eyes, does light appear?

The Greeks word for those patterns is phosphenes. Three thousand years ago when they closed their eyes and pressed them, the pulsating form of absence still appeared. Nothing was emerging constantly out of something, in billions of isolated autonomous machines of perception.

I thought I read somewhere that the light that appears when you shut your eyes is the eye seeing itself. The inner mechanisms of the eye, pressed the iris, are fed into the brain instead of the outside world. Maybe something could be forced to appear out of nothing if the nothing were to perceive itself first. Or maybe the darkness is something, and the false pictures that the eye shows you are the ‘nothing’ - the decay of cells under the pressure of atomic association.

I somehow managed to pass two exams this week and have only one left when it comes to this semester (the exam is tomorrow). If I manage to do it I'll be free all summer and be able to read more during that period. If I fuck up, I have another chance in about 9 days, an if I fuck that up too I might as well say goodbye to leisure time since the next term after that is in august. I'm really nervous about this.

I had heard of a land beyond the sea. It was not a place for me, but it was a place for a new kind of being. Malleable in the extreme, of thought quick and tongue sharp. Would they thrive there? Could we even imagine such a creature of being our kin? Not by any measure of which man can fathom would we find ourselves in commonality with such a thing.

For they had made evil obsolete. They wanted for nothing, so cared to inflict no vice upon the other. Even perversity could be satiated through empty facsimiles indistinguishable from the real thing. They had surpassed entropy, so any form or want could be conjured up with no cost. What was death, fear, cruelty, and malice to such things?

That was my fear. For they had not achieved a moral perfection, but a material perfection. When one can do nothing but be an angel, then can we conceive of virtue? And if they fell to our world and to our crude forms, how long would their pretence of kindliness remain? Their eloquence shall become wiles and deception, their intelligence would be turned towards new tools of control, and their strength shall force all others down to be ravished.

And that is the problem. Man did not “fall”, he rose. We did not gracefully descend from heaven, and we were never those angels. We crawled from a pile of corpses two billion years deep, blood and gristle clenched between our teeth. Always we have been prisoners to material conditions, and the dream of a moral world has been one where those conditions did not hold.

That was the wisdom of De Maistre. He saw it, trapped at the edge of the world.

“For the entire world, perpetually steeped in blood, is nothing but a vast altar upon which all life must be immolated without restraint, without end, without mercy, until the consummation of all things, until evil itself is extinguished, until the death of death.”

Evil will persist until death conquers us, or we conquer death.

I lead a very flat emotional life, lacking in both the peaks and valleys that other people seem to experience. Mostly I just feel contentment. I see others express joy or depression and it's almost like we're completely different species. I have to force a reaction that I really don't feel because it's what they expect. Makes it hard for me to relate to people, but fortunately I don't feel the need to. I don't long for love or companionship like so many people do. Never been truly close with anyone but only rarely do I feel that I want for it. Overall, it's pretty nice.

I finished reading The Three Body Problem yesterday, my first real venture into Chinese sci-fi. My interest was piqued after reading a bunch of Soviet era sci-fi last year and the current dam scare. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the relatively hard science,, as I tend to prefer softer stuff that focuses on the social and psychological impact of high technology, future calamities etc. It puts me off a bit how all these institution big-wigs like Obama, GRRM etc have their little endorsements on the covers, on the first few pages. Makes me hope socjus normies don't jump to the conclusion that the series is a political piece on how awesome communism is, rather than being an entertaining and enthralling story that happens to be coloured by the country the author grew up in.
Political agenda kills what would otherwise be good stories, most of the time in these modern times. Thank you for your time.

For someone who is supposed to be informed, you clearly haven't read any of the scientific literature on obesity and its causes. If someone is hungry all the time, there is something biologically wrong. You'd eat too if your hormones suggested that you do. Not only that but when they eat, those same hormones prevent the body from doing what it would normally do in a healthy person and just burn off that day but it stores those same calories as fat. Obesity is a disorder that exists in a person without any conscious control. Some niggas are just hedonistic idiots, but it's really a small minority. I was fat before and having learned about the root of it, I am able to lose weight and keep it down. I now even eat more than I did when I was fat because I understand the biology of it. Your body has to be in disorder to become obese, otherwise you can eat double the amount you would normally and hardly gain any weight. FFS it isn't even hard to figure out. If you would step outside of your pompous, holier than thou ego, and given a second's thought to why some people are fat you would probably realize that there is something else other than "I dumb like to eat hurr durr"

I am frankly baffled at how the mainstream consensus about the historicity of the Old Testament is that it's mostly made up, and there was no kingdom of Judah until fairly late. Why would so many stories qualifying for the principle of embarrassment be untrue? Why would the writers cite a hundred books we no longer have, like records of wars, books written by seers and prophets, and so on?

The sheer amount of incidental detail, the twists and reversals that don't meet Aristotle's criteria for a good narrative because they have too many completely unnecessary (by poetic logic anyway) elements, none of it adds up if it was largely fabricated. Why does Asa, a mostly good king, put Hanani in the stocks? Who are the "supporters" of Hanani? Elsewhere the supporters or followers of prophets are called "benei" (sons, but also disciples) and it's apparently more or less agreed by scholars that there were "guilds" (like sufi lodges, or guru movements?) of prophets. But prophets of what?

It's clear that they're Yahwists, and it's clear that Yahwism is moral and not just mystery-based or conventionally pagan. I'm annoyed that most of the mainstream scholars try so hard to be critical that they throw the baby out with the bathwater. There is clearly a prophetic tradition, arguably unlike anything else we know of in human history, extending back to the beginnings of the Bronze Age. That is an amazing possibility and they don't even try to reconstruct it most of the time.

What bothers me most is how scattered the mainstream accounts are. They go on and on about archaeology or the minutiae of the Tel Dan Stele, but they don't mention how the Chronicler knows the ethnic composition of "Shishak's" army, Shisak who is clearly Shosenq I? Why include such an incidental detail, that they brought Libyans with them? Forget that then, why include that SHOSENQ WON THE BATTLE and exacted tribute from Asa?

None of it makes any sense at all unless you are
>discounting the more than a dozen books and records regularly referred to (all of which make sense if we assume there were prophetic lodges/groups with internal records of their preeminent "seers" like Iddo, Nathan, and Ahijah)
>assuming that the chronicler/deuteronomist made all this back-and-forth shit up just for flavor, even when it makes Israel/the kings look terrible

The only POV that makes sense is the prophets, and they would have no reason to fabricate so many books. It's obvious that Yahwism is ancient. How can there even be people who doubt the historicity of David/Solomon? I am no expert but I find myself thinking the experts are morons or willfully ignorant, when I read the text.

Truely a symphony that supply and demand has become, and evolution so sophisticated it meets that of the Brontosaurus, or the Great White Shark.

Ever fuck a girl who was exactly as much fun to fuck as she looked like she would be? Like voluptuous, sensual curves, thick supple thighs that made your mouth salivate in anticipation, soft, perky bouncing breasts, a nicely developed ass with both tone and enough jiggle to wiggle just right, and she could ride you like a horse carousel? Like a bucking bull? Like she could fuck like a fighter jet. A fucking jet fighter. Jet fucking fighter. Like your cock was inside of a warm, slick sleeve of cotton candy? A pleasant swelter of everything you could ever want. That her every vaginal contraction of her tight, moist, clasping hole felt better than your lubed hand had ever felt? That when you orgasmed it felt like you just unloaded a testicle or two inside of her, with big flurping lumptuous cumquatic swirls of semen oozing from the hot, stonehead of your throbbing manpower? And then as soon as you both climax in inexplicable bliss, in unfathomable ecstasy, you immediately rev up for round 2, then 3, until you're both a hot, sticky, sweat-soaked mess of comfortably hot, wet compounded flesh, both of you jittery from all the energy you've just expended while still in an otherworldly state of ease?

I honestly don't know if my mom loves me. In my 28 years of life I don't think we have ever had a sincere conversation. She's has never been cruel, just distant. Shouldt I feel love? Is it supposed to be clear? I don't even know my grandfather even though he is alive and has a whole new family apart from the one he started with my maternal grandmother after their divorce. Nobody talks about him. I'm starting to suspect I remind her of her father and she resents me. Maybe it's just her personality? I also believe she is taking medication for depression but of course we don't talk about that. What worries me is I dont feel any desire to form a stronger bond with her, shouldnt she have fostered that feeling in me with compassion? Me and my dad are close and I feel his love for me, it's clear. Why doesn't she want to talk to me? Why isn't she interested in me as a person? Our sporadic phone conversations are consistently superficial and feel like an obligation. Should I have behaved differently? When I eventually admit to her that I don't believe she loves me will she be surprised? I wouldn't treat someone I love like an acquaintance. Am I imagining that she treats my siblings with more compassion? I'm not clinically depression but I have put my gun to my head and taken the slack out of the trigger, does she feel the same way I do inside, and is that the reason she doesn't love? I don't want to wear a mask around my family anymore so maybe I will abandon them.

I've been reading Céline, and I'm sure at this point in my life that I'm no writer. The best cut through pretense with such ease that I fear the pen. I'll always be a freshman driver, white knuckling the wheel, jerkingly glancing between mirrors.
