as the JB greentexting perhaps shows up, there is something profoundly fucked up (and yet entirely logical) about our fetishistic obsession with health and happiness today, which is why body-horror &c fucks with us. it's Prometheus Syndrome, our addiction to the fountain of youth (jouissance, captured by capital). Han writes about it brilliantly in Topology of Violence, Sloterdijk too: anti-immunity deficiency syndroms. happens when you run wild with sexuality over everything, and a culture of immanence is the result. philosophically, immanence makes sense, but i think the German Idealists were (as usual) the original progenitors of body horror, if not Spinoza.

the Taoists are all about conserving life-energy to live a long time. it's where the more disreputable aspects of it come form, imho, the Unironic Alchemy &c. there are tons of books written on it. but definitely nofap would be in there. the irony for us, of course, is the paradox of preserving health and living a long life in a world that gets progressively more miserable...but that also makes sense, in a way.

Space Taoism isn't my idea, although i co-sign every word of what that anon wrote. as for writing a book, i have been trying, for years. first fiction, and now...whatever this is. i'm still working things out, in other words.

i'd love to talk to Uncle Nick someday, that would be weird as fuck. after all of this posting about him it would just be weird to talk to him directly for sure. who knows? maybe someday.
