I don't know what the fuck is wrong with the christcucks. Their religion after the middle ages was constantly getting fucked. First Hume, then Kant, then Schopenhauer. Nietzsche was the last nail in the coffin. I could understand if someone approached religion in a Jungian or esoteric sense, but these christcucks seem to take it literally.

clearly very hard. Most christian are far from living like Jesus, and real-world Christianity pushes against education, birth control and tasting the pussy before marriage. That leads to trailer trash, bad decisions, fags kill themselves out of guilt, etc.

If you want to follow a religion just because of its moral philosophy you're better off with something more consistent and flexible like Buddhism. Much more flexible since he was just a guy like you or me, and his teachings to laymen were "don't be a dick" and "you can remove all your suffering if you want to, it's all in your mind"

“Nietzsche’s solution of the problem of the meaning of life, consisting in the affirmation that this meaning does not exist outside of life, and that life in itself is meaning (from which derive all the themes already mentioned, including the myth of the eternal return), is valid only on the presupposition of a being that has transcendence as its essential component….We have already seen with regard to the “will to power” that it is not so much the general characteristic of life, but one of its possible manifestations, one of its many faces. To say that life “always surpasses itself,” “wants to ascend, and to regenerate itself by rising and surpassing itself,” or that life’s secret is “I am that which must always conquer itself”--all that is simply the result of a very unusual vocation projecting itself to the dimensions of a worldview. It is merely the reflection of a certain nature, and by no means the general or objective character of every existence. The foundation that really prevails in existence is much closer to Schopenhauer’s formulation than to this one of Nietzsche’s; that is, the will to live as eternal and inexhaustible desire, not the will to power in the true sense, or the positive, ascending drive to dominance. It is only, in fact, through the other dimension, that of transcendence, that life presents those characteristics that Nietzsche mistakenly generalizes and thinks he can attribute to it when he sets up his new values.” --Evola retroactively recovering transcendent metaphysics from Evola. You should pick up a copy of Ride The Tiger. I'm also marvelling at your insane and retarded lack of reading comprehension of both Jung, esoterism, and the Bible. Imagining typing the work "literally" in this context as a reduction when each of those three realms work at an intersection between the literal, the legendary, and the metaphysical, psychic, etc. Also

Imagine being a physicalist cuck. How could emotions, feelings, thought, ever be reduced to something physical? How could love, anger, etc be spacially located. How could something physical be about something such as how when you're angry it's about your small weener.

How can you explain how for everything to be in existence they have to be perceived. Look at how in the double slit experiment the photon materializes as a particle when perceived and measured. But what then is perceiving everything so it exists? Must be a consious consiousness that is omnipresent. Sounds like God to me chief.

You're missing my point. I was talking about fags. Fags get wives to put themselves in a position that forces them to be straight, but since that never works they make their and their wives' lives hell.
by tasting the pussy I mean fornication, sex before marriage. And I think you missed my point. Buddha doesn't give a shit about your personal business, and doesn't threaten you with hell if you don't follow his teachings. He doesn't tell you to be a prude unless you're an ascetic who wants to achieve enlightenment in this life.

99.9% of atheists are that way simply because they have never even met a Christian. The Jacobins executed everyone that was religious in France in the '89 revolution, it slowly spread through the rest of the west over the next 150 years, finally culminating in the Weather Underground / Communist Party purge of USA in the late 60s / early 70s. Most of these new atheist types are 40-60 years old Gen Xs from neoliberal concrete hellscapes (where the purges were 100% effectual) and therefore have zero contact with dissident thought (to the extent it exists, it is underground in the rural sticks), one of the strains of which is Christianity.

no. There's this thing that westerners ignore for some reason called layman or "householder" buddhism. The Buddha taught differently to lay people. In fact, he adapted his teachings to his audience all the time (revealed in the Lotus Sutra). He knew most of them wouldn't want to abandon their families just to stop suffering, so he taught them to not be a dick in order to live a blissful life, and maybe reincarnate as a monk or a noble in the next life. You only need to let go of all desires if you want to be a monk and get to Nirvana.

Really? You can point to a physical spot of my brain and say there is the love I'm feeling about my dog? Emotions and feelings arent spacially located That is ridiculous. Also how could a physical state be about something? Like how I could be angry about my car?

If you're going to say that some sort of physical property is one and the same as my thoughts, feelings, emotions, etc then all properties of that physical matter must be shared by my thoughts feelings emotions awareness etc. But this isnt the case as shown prior.

This is an absolutely terrible reading of Nietzsche. Stirner calls today's atheists pious. Nietzsche from memory doesnt insult atheists very much.

If anything, the Nietzchean take is that ideas like Truth are remnants, *shadows* of bad Christian thought that plague the scientific thinkers of modern times. And their fault is they dont go far enough in dismantling absolutes, not that they're hypocrites.

The passage you linked is saying pretty much just that; it's not a repudiation of atheism, it's a repudiation of atheism that hasn't gone far enough investigating philosophical sacred vows.

But hey, I guess when you're a dishonest Christian trying to push false readings of Nietzsche to try and give flooring to dismiss him, you gotta fight dirty.

Being well read in Nietzsche always produces frustration. Nietzsche is sort of a truth pragmatist, ultimately all statements are in motion, no statement is perfectly absolute. Even this is iffy, because he's not even absolutely a truth pragmatist. But it's a better way to think about him.

So whenever you hear a repudiation of Nietzsche that starts with "Nietzsche thinks X and this is the problem with thinking X", you can almost always immediately discard what's being said. Nietzsche doesnt have single, static positions on anything, because such kind of truth is a falsehood. These lines of argumentation against Nietzsche are stuck in a mode of thought that Nietzsche believes he's moved past.

I've never heard any anti-Nietzschean online who could start by arguing down Nietzsche's pragmatism. If they could it would be easier to accept what they were saying. Without a convincing stance though their arguments always seem so fucking ridiculous and juvenile.

If I asked you where rhinos live, and you said "In Africa," would I be justified in claiming that rhinos don't exist because you didn't nail down an exact point? Absolutely fucking not, right?

What is your definition of space where stating that the feeling of love is "located in this region of this brain when it's active" isn't a valid answer to the question of where a feeling resides in space? Is the goalpost now that I have to produce some kind of goopy substance you can hold before you'll admit that love is a material thing with a material basis? Does love have to be grossly tangible before it qualifies as material? Do you think electricity isn't a material thing, just because I can't hold electricity and say "here it is?"

How could a physical state be about something like how love is about a person or anger about a broken care. How can something physical have intent?

Also to be is to be perceived. Love exists as idea experienced by a spirit/mind. But it is not located within space, it's simply felt and experienced. Love would also exist without my spirit for there is a spirit that experiences and perceives all, God. If my brain would be destroyed there is nothing to say my mind/spirit would be. I would simply go to another conjured reality. Or go on to perceive a new one if you will.

There is no way you could reduce what an experience is and feels likes down to a physical element. It can only be understood and know immaterially through experience. Such as experiencing red.

Actually this is true. Anyone who has ever read The Antichrist will know that Neech makes the best possible defense of Christianity there is (and by Christianity he means the original religion of Jesus, not the religion made by St Paul).

Neech thought that Jesus was the only worthy opponent for Dionysus and wanted to find a philosophy to beat Christianity in its purest form, instead of attacking Paulinist christcucks.

For that I have huge respects for him. weather Zarathustra actually managed to beat Jesus is debatable. He never got to finish his final trilogy of Books that would have been his true magnum opus.

and I agree with him. I'm not a Buddhist. I'm an atheist. I like taoism more because it celebrates life with all its pains instead of trying to avoid it. But while the Buddha might've been a nihilist, most buddhists (lay buddhists) definitely aren't. Buddhism is superior to christianity, that's all i was saying.

The muslims and hindus never could ever create an overman. I feel like neetchs infatuation with the hellenists was misplaced. Assuming something like the overman can be created, then christianity was a nescessary step on the road. The idea that the world responds to personal actions, personal outlooks (or faith), and not the appeasement of vague deities for material reward was a pivotal development for man to become his own master. Not to mention the cultural weight put upon studying books. Theres a reason that the printing press was made in Europe and not the east. Neetch was trying to say that Christianity has run its course, it was a springboard to launch the european of tommorow. He flung identical rhetoric at both Christian revivalists and "rational" atheists because they both espouse the same moral, that the weak should be sheltered even if it means grounding those who can fly. Theyre both cowards that shuffle back from the edge if the divingboard. The economy is so well intigrated that prioritizing the comfort of the weak and low will just birth a race of chronic masturbator simians.

How could the material, biological mechanisms, produce something immaterial like thought? Hormones are not immaterial as they're physically located in space as is electrons and toxins. But you could never point to a physical place where the emotional experience of love resides.

An analogy to better explain this is what if someone who has never seen the color red lived in a room where they could study everything physical about color but the room didnt have red in it. They could study the wavelength we see as red and all it's properties. Yet, without seeing red they wouldnt have the experience of redness and know what the color red is. Red can be pinpointed to a wavelength that seems to give rise to the experience of rednes and actually imagine the color. But the imaging of the color is not the same as the wavelength. Experiencing the color is something different from the wavelength that seems to give rise to that experience. The experience is non spacial and cant be reduced to reside somewhere.

This then leads to a problem. How can the physical wavelength give rise to the immaterial experience of seeing red. How do they ever truly interact? Sure, we see brain activity correspond to certain mental phenomenon but that doesnt throughly explain the entire process of how a physical process can result in something immaterial. Sure, you could try to argue that this immaterial experience is actually physical too. That my thoughts, feelings, redness, is all material. But yet how could that be as everything material takes up space? Yet redness, love, anger, as an experience, dont take up space. Also, emotions have intent and are about something. My love is for my wife. I'm angry about my car breaking. Yet, if these experiences were physical that would imply physical states, matter, could have intent and be about something. Yet, matter doesnt have intent and can be about something. So these two things can't be the same.

Now we're back to the problem of how do these two things, the material and immaterial, interact. How does me stepping on a lego, causing neurons to fire to signal pain to the brain, lead to the immaterial feeling and experience of pain? Well, to answer this we need to take a few steps back.

correct, and some hormones produce the "immaterial" thought of wanting to sleep, wanting to fuck, etc.
>But you could never point to a physical place where the emotional experience of love resides.
but you could. Maybe not very accurately yet, but you could locate the electric messages in the brain that make you behave in a specific way. Love can't be specifically located simply because it's a concept invented by man. You wouldn't be able to locate abstract man-made concepts like mathematical concepts. Love is used to describe a strong feeling of empathy, which is biologically produced just like everything else, and while he still have very little understanding of the brain we know it's all there.

The color red also has the same problem as love: it's a concept. It's not really something physical, but a description of a behavior or appearance. Doesn't mean that colors are metaphysical or anything like that, they're still produced by something physical: the brain, trying to describe what it sees.
>How can the physical wavelength give rise to the immaterial experience of seeing red
it enters through your retina, the eye sends the message to the brain, the brain fires electrical signals and record what the eye sent (a memory), the brain inteprets this memory as an experience.

When I perceive something is what I'm perceiving truly always what is being perceived? This would seem to be obviously false as we know hallucinations and illusions exist. When I hold a stick through the water I perceive it to be crocked yet I know it is straight. Some people see things as a different color from others. Some people have schizophrenia and percieve things to be there that arent actually there like shadow demons.

Now, you may then say that there exists things in reality, primary qualities, that we percieve through our sensory data that then may be distorted. Therefore, perceptions can be distorted but there still exists physical object outside ourselves. These perceptions of these primary qualities are their secondary qualities. However, if all we know about the external world is its secondary qualities we have no way to confirm primary qualities exist as there is a veil of perception around it. It very well could be the case that everything then is simply ideas we imagine and experience in our minds and these are those secondary qualities. To be is to be perceived but yet all that is being perceived is perception. So things only exist as truly immaterial ideas in our minds as we have no proof otherwise. Therefore, matter doesnt really exist and is just as immaterial as my mental states and emotions and nothing truly exists spacially and everything is a product of my mind that gives it intent through its creation.

When does this then become immaterial as the experience of redness? That step will always be unexplainable in your model as you still posses a dualism due to an inability to ever make redness itself material for it does not take up space. Also other experiences with intent such as love couldnt be material. For material things dont have intent.

Also, the computer model of consiousness will never be able to explain awareness and understanding. For just cause you take input and then follow a series of steps to deliver outputs based on the input doesnt mean you're then self aware of this process and understand it.

Imagine for a moment I was in a room with a book and a box full of a ton of chinese letters. I dont know a thing about chinese but when people outside the room slide chinese notes through the door to me the book can then instruct me on what chinese letter to string on paper together to give an intelligent reply to the letter, which I slide under the door to give to actual chinese speakers who believe they're talking to a real chinese speaker. Yet I never once understood what I was doing or was aware of what I was saying.

Long after the last worshipper of Nietszche meets his end in an abortion clinic dumpster, Christians will still be chuckling at the screaming, anguished deaths of the Catalonian thief-colony of the Anarchists, when they were, to a man, tortured and executed by Franco's brave troops.

One can imagine the good little leftist pleading for mercy as another finger is clipped off with a pair of hedge shears. Shrieking in anguish. Kicking his little feet. He was promised rich red roast beef! He was promised the right to steal from the church! It is not his fault that he shot those priests, or that nun. Where are his good little revolutionaries? Where are his brave comrades?

All gone to the rope. They clip off his last finger, leaving him only his thumbs, and they drag him out to the noose, which still contains his last brave comrade, twitching and kicking. They do not drop them here, they merely pull them up, to choke. Blue-faced, good Antonio has bitten off his own tongue, his eyes are rolled up into his dead. They bring him down, and throw his carcass into the pigsty, where his betters quickly begin devouring him.

The good little leftist sobs. Where are his comrades? Who will save him? Not God, surely. He betrayed God. A soldier lifts up one of his legs to check the size of his boots, and grunts in approval as they put the noose around his neck. He thinks of his wife as he is pulled up into the air, to kick, the desperation of death, of imminent judgement settles in as he pisses himself.

His wife, meanwhile, is hungrily sucking fascist cock behind the Barracks. Being an Anarchist, she is also a whore. She has already forgotten about her "man," and is only interested in her own hungry belly. Of course, the noose awaits her too--but she cannot know that.

Describing the horrific tortures that good little leftists suffered after their failed attempt to steal a country is a labor of love for me. It doesn't take long at all.

I try to underplay the violence a bit since, realistically, the justice they faced was far, far, faaaaar more extreme and lengthy. Have you heard of the practice of letting Algerian troops brutally rape Anarchist women to death? Nobody would believe such stories, the cruelty is just a bit too over the top to be believable, but it all definitely occurred. The belly-slicing. The removal of teeth. The slicing out of cheeks and tongues. Good stuff. Proper punishment.

It is not a description, it is an experience. You can't explain away and deny human experience. When I love someone I feel it and it is a sensation with intent and about someone.

>Color (American English), or colour (Commonwealth English), is the characteristic of visual perception described through color categories, with names such as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, or purple. This perception of color derives from the stimulation of photoreceptor cells (in particular cone cells in the human eye and other vertebrate eyes) by electromagnetic radiation (in the visible spectrum in the case of humans). Color categories and physical specifications of color are associated with objects through the wavelength of the light that is reflected from them. This reflection is governed by the object's physical properties such as light absorption, emission spectra, etc.

The Hindus are, and always have been superstitious pagans. For non-scholars rituals are performed to curry material favor from the Gods. For the scholars enlightenment comes from life-denying, though the texts do have some interesting meat inside. The muslims are much like the Christians, and for centuries had similar levels of development, or greater, but the Islamic religion lacks the sparks that ignited the "enlightenment" and all that came after to make the earth fertile for the overman. To start, the road to salvation is made clear in the Quran, at least much clearer than Christianity. The obligations from Allah to the individual are well spelled out, and the Sharia was pretty easy to suss out. Where as for the Christians salvation is at the end of a maze, from the moment Christ was nailed to a board there was argument about who actually could go to heaven. The fractal nature of Christian denominations is proof of this. For the past two thousand years Christians have been raking over the same set of books in such hot debate that sectarian purges became a regular occurrence. It was the tradition of scholasticism and doubt that birthed the modern world, and eventually turned on itself to destroy religion and hinterworlds permanently.

Listen, no matter what you can never trust what you see and sense for you are only ever interacting with objects secondary qualities and not their primary qualities which have a veil of perception around them.

this sounds like someone who just read a simple english wiki article about quantum physics would say. Electrons don't literally "become particles" when we measure them, and waves are not immaterial. Electrons sometimes behave like waves and other times behave like particles. I've always been against the "leave the search for truth to physicists" rhetoric but you guys make me have second thoughts. Cause you people start seriously arguing about things you clearly don't understand. This veil of perception is something you've made up either because you're so desperate to come to the conclusion of "muh god" that you invent new restrictions on existence and perception along the way

we know how vision works... We know and can pinpoint how the eye sends messages to the brain and how it processes these messages. But continue with your denial.

Pain is immaterial for pain isnt located in space nor can immaterial things have intent or be about something like pain is. Sure your neurons fire to your brain to seemingly indicate pain but theres a huge gap of knowledge from the neuron firing to the feeling and experience of pain.
