I didn't start going to /lit/ until maybe five years ago or so, I'd just like to say that I don't mind leaving politics at the door but despicable, whiny fags like you really bring out the worst in me and in others. If you really wanted this place to be better you would shut the fuck up with this gay shit.

Thoughts on Savriti Devi?
Pic unrelated.

Is there any good literature on the topic of suicide? Philosophy is preferred, but fiction is fine as well

I couldn’t agree more with your interpretation.

>He describes acceleration as an end, the approach of a finality before a great shift. This is how I see it as well, economic worldviews are a generalisation of the non-type, of the leveled man concerned only with base self-preservation.

>Technology is a means of transition, the snake shedding its skin, a passing through the hands between gods and man - then the theft and consumption of entire worlds by war. The challenge presented by such situations as technological destruction and war is not the object itself, but merely a first step. We are forced into this by the weakness of modernity, while the true object remains the dominion beyond the symbolic and mere appearance of power. Totality allows us to pass through the destructive phase, reorder that which survives as force - creating an entire territory of sovereignty.

Reminds me of the image of the pyramid.

>For a long time, technology appeared in the imagination as a pyramid standing on its head and undergoing unlimited growth, a pyramid whose free surface grew immeasurably larger. On the contrary, we must strive to see it as a pyramid whose free surface is progressively shrinking and which within the foreseeable future will have reached an end point.

well basically his main deal is he wants to secure the existence of freedom in the wake of kantian philosophy.

first he starts off by clarifying his views on spinoza - he doesn't have a problem with pantheism per se, if it's understood as things existing internally in god, but his problem with spinoza is just that, the way he reduces everything to just things. he thinks their is an exuberance and power in life that reason just can never capture

once you can accept beings exist in god without that castrating their autonomy, he dives into the meat of the essay. what he wants to understand is the relation of evil and the possibility of evil within this schema. without getting into the details, I'm gonna summarize it like this: the groundlessness of subjective freedom is the groundlessness of god's existence. evil co-emerges with autonomy of the human subject. freedom isn't the possibility of good or evil, but good AND evil. evil is the dark principle - basically, there is something in god that is not god, there is an otherness within god that is the source of evil in human subjects (and human subjects alone, god is just that being that has absolutely subordinated this dark principle to itself for all eternity), and that thing is the ground of god's existence that remains forever opaque to his understanding. he is self-caused, but self-caused out of what? boom. there you have it.

so yes, evil has its origin in god, evil is real, you can't handwave it away with privatio boni cuck arguments, knowledge is not a correlate of the good, there is such a thing as intelligent evil, calculating malignance, but has its origin in the very thing that god that isn't god himself - the inexplicability of his existence in the first place

What is Beauty?

>in the highest life, the life of Intellect, where we find the highest form of desire, desire is eternally satisfied by contemplation of the One through the entire array of Forms that are internal to it. Soul is the principle of desire for objects that are external to the agent of desire.


Desire is the reflexivity of the One turned outwards, towards the edge of its illumination. Porn is a dark goddess.

>this all day. 100%. *the tyranny of identity* indeed. it doesn't just tyrannize you, it tyrannizes others also...ego-needs are magnetic in this way, the continuation of guerrilla war by other means.

fight that identity and you atomize, release it and you're released to that primal dyonisian ecstasy where people don't have to work so fucking /hard/ and we can just enjoy and drink being to the dregs until we go poof with it.

kinda funny how the left is always quick to remind you of the fiction that all identities are, while pussyfooting around the very void of the subject they're so frantically trying to excavate. gotta make a couple runs through the gender buffet before we take the plunge, I guess.

>yessir. much Big Other. i always like that feeling of reading deleuze and kind of going, ah, right. all of this is in my head. representations are just representations. i am, in fact, *not* That. what That is, i have no idea. sweet.

this is really interesting to me. hegel says you /are/ that, just in the mode of its difference with itself. i guess deleuze radicalizes that difference all the way. hm. im gonna give him another shot.

>kek. and this. we have got a *monster* gut going on. like john candy being expected to do james bond things.

kek.

>i think the hard part is eating that revolutionary militancy, however awesome the continental legacy is, really is a sunk ship. you still have to just get out there and grind it even knowing what you know.

maybe the challenge today for people like us out there, isn't how to give in to the swells of revolutionary passion without losing your head, but to how to reconcile a radical awareness of the problem with the very futility this awareness forces us to conclude. how to keep this passion or militancy alive as an internal state. maybe having a choice has always been a release valve. no im not saying im some brave revolutionary, but its fair to say we as a generation have far less choices than the reds did. maybe just not giving into the abyss of despair that's swallowed so many of these rage zombies and poor suicides is enough. am i just justifying my powerlessness? maybe. but i simply don't know what to do.
