I hate non-traditional dancing. Only spiritual niggers dance. Dancing is disgusting unless its based on traditional stuff like 19th century English dances or Japanese traditional stuff. You know, fancy and prudish stuff.
Everyone who engages in sensual forms of dancing should be outright executed. Go jerk off in the corner of the room and learn proper decorum before I kick your ass.

traditional dances were sensual you autist. confirmed for never having ballroom danced with a girl. my ballroom dance courses in college were some of the most erotic experiences of my life, and I've had sex.

Beyond philosophy, there is only poetry.
Beyond poetry, there is only dance.
Dance! For it is the most joyous freedom – it is the exultation of the body, its poetry in flight.

"I do not know what the spirit of a philosopher could wish more than to be a good dancer. For dance is his ideal, his fine art, and finally also the only kind of piety he knows, his divine service."

He aspired, Anon. Do (You)? Friedrich grappled bravely with life and all the limitations he faced. He makes no claim of being the overman. He was more than conscious of his weaknesses and his faults. His work was his vindication and his poetry. Amor fati, baby.
