the man from messkirch

"In a state of mind Dasein is always brought before itself, and has always found itself, not in the sense of coming across itself by perceiving itself, but in the sense of finding itself in the mood it has... for the mood brings Dasein before the "that-it-is" of its "there", which, as such, stares it in the face with the inexorability of an enigma. From the existential-ontological point of view, there is not the slightest justification for minimizing what is 'evident' in states-of-mind, by measuring it against the apodictic certainty of a theoretical cognition of something which is purely present-at-hand. However the phenomena are no less falsified when they are banished to the sanctuary of the irrational. When irrationalism, as the counterplay of rationalism, talks about the things to which rationalism is blind, it does so only with a squint."

last one for the day.

if we aren't going to go Back to the Greeks in full-on togas like Awesome Greek Heroes - and i submit this is by no means a bad idea - i like going Back to the Back to the Greeks guy also.

the meaning of the world is care, and the world is not a matter of indifference to us. how to care about the world? everyone works this out in their own way. there are no end of ways to work out one's own well-being: the chinese, buddhists, stoics, deleuzians, jungerians, many others all have their ways of doing this.

existential humanism in philosophy is imho complete as of 1927. more than this is not required. this is not an argument for everything else pic rel argued for. better to have a vast & cool network of dasein-types sorting it out. a cool & spooky & mysterious world. very little to dislike about that.

de-hystericize, un-cynicalize, & maybe there will be some common ground shorn of mimetic friction. failing that the macho man did nothing wrong.

time-preference a thing. time-preference maybe the thing. and -

>wat > aesthetics tho

mos def no Hortatory for you. but i will send one of my drones over to ask one of your drones to say that 20 years is a little much.

giving advice, being ideological, saying what others should do: meme af
writing fiction: the only sane alternative.

>somebody: why do you write fiction
>yudkowsky: well, i tried not writing fiction, and that didn't work

>I may have gone a bit native out here, that’s all. Stay in the Zone long enough and you’ll start getting ideas about Destiny yourself.
yes.

>We have a word that we whisper, a mantra for times that threaten to be bad. Mba-kayere. You may find it will work for you. Mba-kayere. It means ‘I am passed over.’ To those of us who survived von Trotha, it also means that we have learned to stand outside our history and watch it, without feeling too much. A little schizoid. A sense for the statistics of our being. One reason we grew so close to the Rocket, I think, was this sharp awareness of how contingent, like ourselves, the Aggregat 4 could be
yes

traversal of symbolic order: dat exodus.
the disenchanted memescale wasteland ahead: dat rest of life.
knowing you only know nothing: dat new game+.
putting cool fiction into the world: dat gentle reminder.

i will stop myself here b/c otherwise it will be hard to tell the smoke from the mirrors. this shit belongs in fiction also. level-2 my guy. hope xunzi and those buddhists continue to work their magic. fiction is the endgame, or a decent waystation while you wait for the next train.

catch based thread & based anons again soonish.

try heidegger

The next question is, where do you go after Aquinas?

Heidegger

>tfw conscience is a call you hear summoning you towards being authentic and in the world

all you need is inside you. you must only listen.

What does /lit/ think of Martin Heidegger?
