Finishing it today. Enjoy this Baudrillardean theory of school shootings in the meantime:

An anticonspiracy: the foreboding of the Columbine shooting most likely pertained to a prank or a theatrical event planned by the students, also, by 2012, school shooting drills were commonplace. Preemptive medical examinations are probably the "cause" of many illnesses: benign congenital defects that turn malignant once probed, minor afflictions that would quickly remit were it not for treatment, afflictions projected from the doctor's mind, etc. Perhaps school shootings are akin to such intrusions, of the seemingly sterile event into the seemingly healthy body, simply put, when armed men enter a school under the pretense of a drill something truly bad happens akin to a benign congenital defect turning malignant upon probing, or vice-versa, the genuinely healthy body readily throwing itself into the potentiality for affliction might itself constitute an affliction, immediately somatized in a bodily affliction.

Footnote:

The Cambrian and the Old Testament: men share a medium with "God' as "our ancestors", fish, share with the giant crustaceans that ate them, incomprehensible snapshots of OT men's lives and unearthing stone snapshots of giant crustaceans and backwardly reasoning both as innocuous, the supposed "genetic memory" of being preyed on by giant crustaceans as anamnesis of having one's mind eaten by the Archons, OT men as biologically startling, living hundreds of years, and the sheer size of the giant crustaceans, Noah's Ark as a giant crustacean, a dead husk full of segmented chambers in which soft corporeal Matter writhes, etc.

>Is the Canon known through tradition?

Meaningless question since tradition itself is not traditional. Taking a detour through the intellectual toilet of bottom-up and outside-in Historicism, the probability of the Canon being made as such today is null, moreover, you would refute Dispensation itself if you were to claim otherwise: the Canon being made as such today is an argument for pure Covenant. The other questions are also quite bad. The Canon is, or should be, authoritative in the sense that it is sanctioned by what it contains, by the revealed Scripture. That the Canon should be authoritative by itself and in turn sanction Scripture, this is another case of Catholic abomination which, again, refutes Catholicism itself: on one hand Scripture is meaningless if the Canon is authoritative irrespective thereof, on the other hand the Canon is at odds with Scripture if both are equally authoritative. The ONLY way to have both Scripture and Canon is the latter's subordination to the former.

Imagine reading on that chair naked, facing the water, and pissing without getting, or looking, up.

Books about Japan hating the third dimension? This is obvious in their video games, the third dimension is never integrated as a just another parameter analogous to the first and second, instead included in a seemingly cynical begrudging manner, as if mocking Western games.

This is actual nonsense. The only common denominator of all people's actions is that they are entirely Rational, divorced from "need" or "instinct", i.e. the degree to which they have sex and eat is always smaller or greater, never equal, to the degree they "require" to. Never mind the demonstrable fact that the choice between any two similarly-attainable objects of any one need is Rational as well. ACT and write a better reply.

>Something is either random or has a cause

This is more fanciful than free will and finality-first (and last) Ontology, there being no such thing as a cause and all things being by being deliberately ordained supertemporally.

Utter nonsense. The one thing you've chosen to weasel your way out of answering any of my questions, "willpower", is a combination of the very things you are accusing me of doing: unfair universalizing (that everyone has the faculty of "will"), scrutinizing ("willpower" is an exclusively Rational idea), bias ("willpower" is a radically fundamentalist idea even within the vulgar scope of worldly musing), public disapproval (most people have no awareness of their or an other's "willpower"), Logical insufficiency (the term "willpower" just pours out of your mouth like shit out of your anus), going in circles (the latter half of your replies restates the same thing), being disingenuous (most of the past and present human socio-cultural equation has no room for "willpower"), etc. You are either extremely perfidious or extremely stupid, probably both. Fuck you.

Awful dream in which I was reading a /lit/ post about a free diver swimming at night with a school of small fish. I was seeing it happen, practically on the screen, as I read it. Milky blue water, diffuse light, diver swimming through fish. "He only needs to brush his hand against something", his hand touched something invisible, making visible scratches. I panicked and started reading faster as he was trying to surface only to hit something now barely visible. He could not find the surface or tell up from down, and kept bumping into a now visible giant sheet, fish frantically swimming around him. I couldn't breathe. "It's Mother Sheet, the mother of all Archons", it said, "it knows what to do with zooplankton". I was at the bottom of the page, slowly scrolled back up as if surfacing, lifted my nose above water around the address bar of the browser, the sky was pitch black.

How about you masturbate with your other hand, regardless of what you do with the lever, introducing a new parameter of depravity which, although quantitatively aggravates the problem, it qualitatively counterbalances, some might say reduces, the gravity of both initial options alone? Kant might even masturbate with both hands.

I had a dream where there was a huge spaceship in space, shaped like a rifle with a bayonet, as big as a city, and a man was running down its length at a frantic pace, climbing the ladders of its recesses with frightening agility, I was short of breath just witnessing it. He was attacked by Satan, from the side, who shot projectiles that simultaneously cut into his wrists and bound them to the hull, then shot some more at his face and groin. He was startled but resolute in having found Satan, and held his breath to inflate himself slightly to unbind his hands and heal the cuts. He then destroyed Satan unceremoniously, off-camera, but Satan's Ontology said that "he will always revive unless you take him back to where you have killed him". I didn't understand what this meant, but saw the man running down the length of the ship again even faster, carrying Satan's corpse, who started coming to just as the man finished a whole lap of the ship, and realizing that "he had been taken back to where he was killed", despaired and lamented that "the man understood" before dying for good. Then, on the spot where he killed him, a circular portal started opening on the ship's surface, it was full of concentric lines of text, and a voice said "this leads to the true Philosopher's stone because you understand".

Reducing the argument to Number is most ironic since, inasmuch as it is Numerical, general Ontology cannot produce a single Number as such, but only NumberING, that is to say a single authority, Man, quite literally making plurality.

Kant is a kind of reverse Nietzsche. Turgid vs. spastic, hypocritically humble vs. hypocritically proud, blind Agnosticism vs. blind self-confidence, progressively dual vs. recursively dual, autistically apolitical vs. grossly partisan, etc. They both suck dicks.
