>there are 73 episodes in the book, which I find to be an interesting number, because here again 73 is a number that just misses the magical mythical number of 72, which is the key number, and I'm sure Pynchon must have known this, for the procession of the equinoxes which precedes one degree along the horizon every 72 years, and you find 72 recurring over and over again throughout myth such as when they capture Osiris and put him in a coffin and they drive 72 nails into the coffin which is connected with the procession of the equinoxes; so it's interesting because in the modernist world it would have turned out to be exactly 72 and we could have connected it with the procession perhaps, but in the postmodermist world it's 73 so it just misses the meaning that we would like it to line up as to satisfy our insistence on absolute meaning, not so in the postmodern world; everything gets disrupted with asymmetries, with fuzzy meanings, with the unconcealing of entities in the heidegerrian clearing in a fuzzy way where we never quite get all the facets of the entity and for every time according to Heidegger—and this is why Heidegger is the grandfather of postmodernism—it unconceals itself it does so imperfectly and we only see certain facets of it and if we change the question that we put to the entity certain facets of it are also unconcealed and then other facets falls into the darkness of the clearing, so we never get a full picture, same thing here with Pynchon

I stop having any empathy when people advertise their personal problems on a marketing platform
Blogs are death and everyone obviously moved on from the time when the internet was made of people. But today it's obvious that only marketing and attention are important, yet there's this willful delusion that people act like themselves through the same channels where they sell you shit (themselves).

There's this documentary where a lioness jump on a gnu foal to eat it, but the gnu doesn't process that he's about to be eaten because he's too young, and he gets close to the lioness, the lioness switches to mother mode because the foal is not fleeing. the foal looks for a teat and the lioness licks its head.
This kind of purity is completely absent in mankind. I don't mean purity as in goodness, but purity as in completely instinctual behavior. There are animals who do atrocious things, but they do so according to the same modality. They are completely adrift, they are lost. I can feel pity toward them.
But human beings are not like that, human beings know the implications of their actions, yet the more knowledgeable they are of these implications the more unfazed they are. A human being would have smiled at this foal's behavior, then slaughtered it anyway. Human beings are innately evil. I can't explain otherwise how they can have awareness of this world's patterns yet act so ruthlessly.

Imagine being so weak. If I had a wife, I would tell her that divorce contradicted the planning in the first place and aborts the family unit. I would kill myself in this scenario because it undoes life for all of us. A Chad would take his son back by force and flee the country or just end everything because nothing matters at that point. Even a child as young as 6 that has reached the ability to reason would know it is so wrong that they should escape that situation. Not to mention, your assets are cut in half and materially your life goes to the shitter too, as does the childs.

Every divorced family with remarriage, the children turn out messed up. Everyone with a step father or mother I ever knew, there was something off about them. Imagine training yourself to pretend some interloper, a literal stranger, is somehow part of your life. Imagine the psychology that a parent is just an animal that couldn't control themselves and cared more about cooming than their own blood and flesh and now you need to put up with their piece of meat to linger around, eat your food. Even if a divorce occurs when the children are adults, it is undignified and sets and example that they're "just human bro", codeword for an ad populam appeal. If you can't set an example for children, you might as well abort them.

My mum did that to my sister and I. Not in public, and not for hours, but that was her strategy too. She would frequently force us to kiss each other, and sometimes would take a photo and show it to people when they came to visit. It’s funny now, picturing two little kids, angry-crying, being forced to hug and kiss each other, but the result has been that we have NEVER hugged voluntarily even in situations that usually call for hugging, such as departures/arrivals from long journeys, deaths, funerals, etc, and as adults in our late 20s and early 30s we can hardly bear to even touch each other.

I'm the poster of that. You're not really addressing my point. I didn't say that human beings have no feelings. I'm not bringing up the food argument because it's its own can of worms but I generally refuse to accept that a human being who feels genuine empathy in the face of pain is also capable of feeling nothing at all when pain afflicts a food species of animal or some category of people he dislikes. There's nothing genuinely human about going 'aww' when you see a kitten video if this doesn't do anything for your behavior. How does that make you superior to the lioness who felt compelled to change her behavior by instincts? I'm not criticizing that, I'm criticizing the part where human beings use their intellect exclusively to stop thus emapthy from affecting their actions, instead of extending it. And at the same time they claim moral superiority. Why? Why can't people ever be honest, why do they have to litter every sentence with lies?

Saying he was autistic is an extreme understatement. He wasn't just wacky or weird while teaching, he was completely fucking deranged.
>In November he began work at another primary school, this time in Puchberg in the Schneeberg mountains. There, he told Russell, the villagers were "one-quarter animal and three-quarters human."
In 1926, Wittgenstein was teaching 11-year-olds, and beat one boy until he collapsed. He had previously beaten a young girl from the same class until her ears bled. The police were called but Wittgenstein fled. A judge ordered a psychiatric evaluation, but Witty was gone. And now for the punch line. The boy soon died, but we are assured it was from hemophilia.
Sure it was. The case was covered up by family money, but it looks to me like Wittgenstein was a child murderer.

Nope, she left and went somewhere else to hunt. She spared the foal. But my point was never about the "goodness" of animals, it's about their complete enslavement to instinct. They are the absolute victims of Nature's design, so I pity them and I have compassion. My point was entirely about humanity's willful failure to elevate themselves. In fact, they use their logic and reasoning to get closer to the cosmic violence of Nature instead of distancing themselves from it. Basically humans do not use their intellect, the shred of independent thought they possess to ennoble themselves and this in my eyes is an unforgivable sin.

You don't even understand my point.
When the internet was novel, people were excited by its possibilities and created out of passion and a sense of community.
Now the only thing people care about is whether every brainfart they have can be commercialized or not.
Do you know what a Let's Play is? You could consider it the original version of streaming.
People would make threads on SA and take screenshots of their game as they went through and provide commentary. You had to be quite witty and informative to make something like this entertaining.
Fast forward 15 years and now you just need to sit on cam with your tits hanging out. Ironically you also need a set-up that costs thousands of dollars just to have a chance at breaking through. It's an unabashed capitalistic enterprise now. This is just one example but the same pattern filters throughout the entire web.

>When the internet was novel, people were excited by its possibilities and created out of passion and a sense of community.
Literally everything born out of internet culture was derivative garbage that piggybacked on better works made by people who did it professionally.
>Now the only thing people care about is whether every brainfart they have can be commercialized or not.
Nobody's brainfarts get commercialized. There is very little original work coming out of the internet. It only takes a look to understand that 99% of what is sold on the internet is parasitic "fan" shit.
>Do you know what a Let's Play is? You could consider it the original version of streaming.
This is not content, it's someone playing a videogame. Again, parasitic piggybacking. Most of the time, streamers are paid advertisers or wannabe paid advertisers. Not to mention that nobody pays these people for their pseudo-content, they pay them to foster the parasocial relationship they build with them.
>People would make threads on SA and take screenshots of their game as they went through and provide commentary.
The person who made the game got paid. Without the game you wouldn't have this meta-content.
>It's an unabashed capitalistic enterprise now.
Stupid anarchist LARPfaggot, trying to get paid doesn't make something capitalist. The reason why everything is a "capitalist enterprise" is not the attitude of someone who wants to get paid for work, but the discounting and trivialization of the source work itself. The original work - which thanks to this attitude has shrunk down to exclusively corporate made media because it's impossible to make money with original shit - is so given for granted that people can't see it as something worth paying for, they pay instead for "friends" to enjoy this shit with.

That's why you can't understand the sense of innocent joy and discovery that I referenced when bringing up the old internet.
John is a great microcosm of what I'm talking about.
If his videos were actually about the content itself, he should be perfectly happy to share his thoughts on a subject he loves and excited to meet others who do the same.
But since the whole thing is just a facade to deal with his emotional and financial problems in life, he periodically erupts into bouts of rage, screeches at his fans for not supporting him enough, and takes down all his content as "punishment."

I wouldn't be surprised if the entire reason he got into philosophy to begin with was because he was looking for answers to his maladjustments.
As an oldfag, the idea that someone could be enraged because they ONLY make $700 a month to talk about books on their shitty webcam is completely absurd.

John is smart enough that he probably could have had a decent intellectual career if he didn't get drawn into dead fields like Campbell style comparative mythology and complete bullshit like Rudolf Steiner and shit like that.

honestly I believe the youtube channel will be back online within a week. how does this guy expect people to subscribe to a patreon that people don't know about?

Now that his videos are offline, what's he gonna do?

If he mentioned the patreon at the start of each video for 30 seconds he would easily be making double the money.

His latest video got 2500 views. Now he's going to stop making YT videos and then make videos only for a limited audience of 60 people to watch with no potential for growth?

It doesn't add up.

My concern with downloading the videos was about him getting cancelled and wrecked and banned from youtube or some freak accident happens where the channel goes down against his will by means of his own negligence.

This is meaningless. Did they create the first recorded _______? If they did, then that isn't an impressive feat. Doing something that a dumb person can do, for the first time ever, is not a mark of genius for that exact reason. Did they not create the first ________? Then what you just said is meaningless and ________ ends up being arbitrarily selected depending on how you constrain or free the definition of tradition.
What matters is the quality of _______ to judge genius. I am assuming both of those authors didn't produce very high quality works (if they did you wouldn't have to give poor reasons to justify their genius).
Finally, if you knew more about history the obvious answer would be Hypatia from ancient egypt, who actually is a polymath genius.

I found John through his Birth of Tragedy videos, and adored them. Shortly after, I saw the video with that medium and could not figure out how he couldn't tell the woman was giving the most ambiguous answers specifically worded to be unfalsifiable. Asking Shopenhauer if he regrets breaking off an affair "No, it was best for both people involved," I mean really, a child could offer the same level of insight. I thought about it for a few days, how can someone who appears fairly gifted and erudite be so gullible. Maybe John isn't who he portrays himself as, that's possible. However, I think the reason is that he had already decided in his head that these things are real and nothing she said could have dissuaded him. It's an ego thing.

He wants to believe because it's the only thing he has. He's clearly very unfulfilled and sad. The idea that he has special access to spiritual knowledge is a form of escapism for people like that.
I remember when he laid out his theory of the afterlife there was this weird aggressive tendency accompanying it, where he took a moment to explain how he doesn't care what anyone thinks. He also did it during that interview with those kids that invited him to speak at their college even though they were perfectly congenially and didn't even question it.
In other words, he believes it because he wants to believe it.

I think you've nailed it, really
>>18693821
TLDR. All living creatures have souls. When any creature dies its soul rejoins the spiritual dimension. That is the real life. Living a physical life is a means for the metaphysical "real" life of a creature to gain experience and become a better soul. Also you can like, upgrade. Say if a bug is a reall good big, it can become a bigger bug, then maybe a bird, then possibly a mammal etc etc etc. Also there are other planets, and Earth is the toughest to live on. ALSO, the souls engage with each other sexually by vibrating at high frequencies and rubbing spiritual bodies. They aslo recall all their other previous physical lives. So let's sa you got it good now, maybe your soul, once you die, will decide it needs to experience being a Syrian child in Aleppo and losing your entire family. This is what I recall from his video biography on it all.

>> No.18693840

>>18693821
Basically he thinks souls come here "to experience" because the afterlife is so perfect that they get bored or something and have to incarnate in order to experience suffering, and with each successful incarnation they climb a spiritual hierarchy and come one step closer to dissolving back into God.
He thinks before you incarnate you sit down with bureaucrats who offer you a "contract" that details exactly what you will experience during your lifetime and you agree to it. Everyone picks their contract but certain lifeforms and things are only accessible after you've unlocked them.
The whole thing seemed ridiculous to me so I didn't pay much attention beyond that.
Oh also he specifically mentioned that souls can have sex, but they are just blobs of energy and they do it by rubbing on each other. It was a weird detail to include.

>> No.18693864

>>18693836
>>18693840
Thanks for the explanation. I have actually thought about that exact idea before (minus souls having sex) but it's not something I take seriously since there is no evidence to support it. It's just an interesting thought. Does he have any kind of argument to support this? I'm guessing no. The best I can think of is that it explains why life exists and what souls do with eternity but there are other explanation for the former (including a lack of a need for a reason why) and the latter presupposes the existence of souls.

Next thing I know he was making vlogs about how she blew her brains out. Apparently her mother called John to let him know and relinquished all of her art to him.
John was cataloging all of her pieces and had even published a few art books.
Now he refers to her as "The Whore" and says he permanently deleted all of her work. WTF happened? It isn't like she could cheat on him beyond the grave, and it's difficult for me to imagine that she cheated and then he somehow found out after her death years later??

John is constantly paying to talk with her and eventually she can't take it anymore. She ropes her mom into calling John and telling him that she killed herself.
