>it's an unsexy epoch, and by no means a romantic one. but if i was looking at this from some great height, sub specie aeternatis, i'd have nothing but sympathy for anyone who managed to do nothing more but resist the gravitational pull of those things without giving in to despair. i think that would be the noblest kind of thing i could imagine. not good or evil, not utopian, none of that. just inwardly stubborn enough to hang in there, even if it's only to spite the obvious.

id like to go into more detail in the reply but this thread's almost off the catalog. just like to say I really appreciate your posting and believe it or not they've been a big resource for me lately, as ive been struggling with this discrepancy between what I feel and what I can do and having to accept mediocrity was in my stars before I even got it in my head I could be otherwise.

i don't blame society, maybe i can blame myself for not trying as hard but if i was meant to be a great i would have gotten the hint from the world by now. some people are just born incompatible with the world that made them and that's that. i don't think its so much about capitalism as it is capitalism is such a way that you can never, ever escape this fact cause everyone who WAS born with long legs for the rat race gets shoved in your face 24/7. and some people snap because of it. i know that kind of anger and violence isn't me, though. it's either suicide or a quiet life of mysticism and philosophy. not bad if you ask me. painful, gut-shreddingly sad when the drink hits you maybe and you're kinda reminded of all that greatness you'll never be a part of but, not bad. as long as you live in fidelity to that light, till your garden i guess. but im rambling. is what it is. essentially this:

>maybe this is how it feels to be at the end of time, in some sense. you know enlightened self-interest is as much of a meme as is whatever kind of Deus Vult you want to name. maybe that's what it means to be sovereign; you get to be in the state of exception. rootless, but at least not rooted to retardedness.

thank you m8
