Probably next will read some of Bertolt Brecht's nonfiction stuff on aesthetics.
Before that I read some trite analytic music aesthetic essays.

Cringe religions with no basis in tradition. Catholicism was the only hope for Christianity, and Guenon (pbuh) gave up on its towards the end of his life. I think it is beyond saving now.

This is a cope for Christians who want to pretend that Christianity didn’t steal the most legitimate and correct parts of its metaphysics from Plato.

That's because you are obsessed, above anything else, about how others could perceive you, like you have a cloud composed by an infinite numbers of 4chan autists able to criticize you and point out your inadequacies at any moment.
In reality, Mishima was a very succesful person in spite of his difficult and life denying past (which wasn't his fault).

In a very meaningful way, almost everyone who wrote after Kant was "Kantian". In an equally meaningful way, Husserl was not a "Kantian".

>>14998719
POST-ERISTIC NEOSPINOZIST OF THE SECOND WAVE!!!
FOR GODS FUCKING SAKE!!! HOW CAN YOU PEOPLE BE THIS RETARDED?!??

>>14998719
Husserl actually transcended most traditional philosophical distinctions. He was simultaneously a Humean, Kantian, Cartesian, and existentialist depending on how you look at him, and he even had several pedagogical ways of getting into his philosophy based on this different paths, so he could show it to both empiricists and rationalists, idealists and realists.

The only thing is, he strongly identified with the label 'transcendental idealist,' which is Kantian as well, so thee may be a particular affinity for Kant, sure. But in the end you just have to do the Husserlian phenomenology to see – it doesn't fit easily in any box.

No he didn't, he doesn't mention Advaita in his works, and as Richard Robinson showed Nagarjuna has garbage logic and contradicts himself all the time, nothing he wrote deserves to be taken seriously

>>14998719
He was cartesian at first.
Then an intuitivist.

>>14999509
All of Advaita's views all clearly found in the Upanishads where Nagarjuna himself got many of his ideas from, he saw the Advaita in them but was too scared to refute it

>>14999497
During the middle ages (even in antiquity), doctors and scientists were often educated men of multiple fields such as theology, philosophy, art, language, etc. Nowadays, bugmen like you and your kind restrict themselves to one science and think that their field is supreme to all other fields. It is an outrage and an offense to the forefathers of your field and here you are trying to create a tower of Babel with your myopic view of the world. You condone sexual deviancy and allow for morality to break down just to gain personal finance and create a false sense of goodness. No, I will not help you one bit. If it kills me, so be it. I won't be a part of your degeneracy and lies you faggot bugman

Hmm. Interesting theory.
>get off to getting revealed to the world as frauds and fakes
This reminds me of how I've felt about this pandemic and from considering if this really was the end of the world. There's a relief from saying "this is the end of the world, and there is nothing anyone can do". In this case it's nature that is dominant and man that is submissive. I think this is the conscious recognition of the natural pecking order, which we subconsciously recognize but consciously rebel against by thinking we can overcome any obstacle. So we find some relief in the alignment of our conscious and subconscious realities. Because subconsciously we know all along where we stand

>>15001306
I love how socialists shadow box with this phantom of a concept such as "capitalism", when literally every first world country with few exceptions are borderline socialist already if not fully. Socialism used to be in contrast with the early 1900s "capitalism", the closest living representative of Capitalism there ever was, but when they essentially won with the government's further encroachment of private property and rights (note: this is a function of time, not because socialists actually did anything besides exist; governments, like tumors, tend to grow) they aren't satisfied with the conclusion their ideology has lead to. They reinvent the wheel, put more emphasis on cultural and racial aspects of socialism rather than economic, and label the product of a 100 years of their fuckery as "capitalism". Because a system where people exchange what are essentially worthless labor slips for products made by government-subsided companies and about 20 percent of earned salary goes to government agencies to be redistributed into shitty second-rate public services and into obese, negro single mothers' hands is the most capitalistic thing I ever heard of.

>>15001305

Is this from his pre Being and Time lectures?

>>15000822
He is a self described white supremacist, but not a strict ethnat, and he has at multiple times talked about every group basically being compromised and defective (some more than others). More so his racism is of that particular autistic Salo-Phora-Hakan Rotmwrt variety, not a wignat black bad white good type.
He doesn't believe that any currently existing ethnicities are close to the health and vigor as his much idealised ancient greeks and his project is more about the eventual establishment of some new ethnicity worthy of the comparison through eugenic breeding and martial culture.
He isn't an ethnat because ethno-nationalism is a gay Indian reservations for whites cope for people getting steamrolled by modernity. His end goal would be an imperialist martial culture that would likely be ethnically mixed, like pretty much all ancient empires, but also highly stratified across ethnic lines, with his hypothetical 200iq neo-aryan hyperborean body builders comprising the ruling caste.
To get there a interim stage is need where the current world order undergoes fragmentation and allows for a new age of adventure and martial prowess to flourish, hence something similar to Moldbug's patchwork but instead of being skinny-arm libertarian NAP abiding corps it would be Hellenic-Style city states warring with each other and raiding the lethargic remains of the old world.

Paul Town employs the same technique, though he has admitted that its more that he can't stand reading and editing his own essays.

>>15001361
Definitely not Nordic only. I can't speak for him but I would say probably broadly it refers to "European" peoples. I don't think he cares about having a precise undeconstructable definition because unlike an ethnat he sees no value in being white just for the sake of it, but rather that they are the people that have most commonly expressed the martial and imperialist spirit he admires. It should be noted he really admires the Japanese for the exact same reason.

To the question about nukes. He has mentioned nuclear armed city-states before. But he is offering a vision not a plan. And it pays to remember that an empire is long long term goal. If people started seizing land and establishing independent territories do you really think they would just nuke them? Shit like this happens all the time with African, South-East Asian, and South American warbands and paramilitaries taking swaths of territory and living semi-autonomously. It may not be feasible in the west right now, but there are plenty of places in the world where a well trained and dedicated group could stake a claim, and of the worst predictions do come to pass and the west enters a stage of major decline that limits its capacity for force projection then people may not even need to travel that far.
