The Fountainhead. I went full Roark without the added benefit of ‘loving my work’. So I basically became a full time, friendless edgelord. Ironically I cared deeply about the image I was presenting, which is opposed to his philosophy.

Wagner did. He explains how the tribe invented modernity because they couldn't fit in the European culture.

>IN a pamphlet lately sent to me an "important Jewish voice" is cited, its words being given as follows:—
>"The modern world must gain the victory, since it wields incomparably better weapons than the old world of orthodoxy. The power of the pen has become the world-power, without which one can hold one's ground on no domain; and of that power you orthodox are almost wholly bare. Your men of learning write finely, intellectually, it's true, but simply for their fellows; whereas the Popular is the shibboleth of our time. Modern journalism and romance have been captured entire by the free-thinking Jew-and-Christian world. I say, the free-thinking Jewish world—for it is the fact that German Judaism now works so forcibly, so giant-like and so untiredly at the new culture and science, that the greater part of Christendom is led by the spirit of modern Judaism either consciously or unconsciously. To-day, for example, there is scarcely a newspaper or magazine that is not directly or indirectly conducted by Jews."—
>Too true!—A thing like that I had never read before, and thought our Jewish fellow-citizens were none too pleased to hear such matters talked of. But now that we are met with such plain-speaking, we perhaps may insert an equally candid word ourselves without the instant fear of being variously maltreated as ridiculous and yet most hateful persecutors of the Jews, and tumultuously hissed upon occasion. Perchance we may even be allowed to make clear a few fundamental terms to our Culture-purveyors—whose world-power we don't for a moment question; certain terms they may not employ in quite the proper sense, and upon whose explanation, if they really [44] mean honestly by us, their "gigantic exertions" might have a good result for all.

your posts are very nice but I would greatly appreciate it if you were to post cics of your ears. It would be a very informative experience as not many are accustomed with auricles. I think it'd be a great way for people to get to know you.It would also be pretty cool to see how tender and fleshy your ear lobes are. Just imagining it dangling ever so slightly, subservient to gravity as god intended. There's also the helix. I don't know about you but I think you would be able to appreciate it's rounded, pleasant shape. So what do you think about my proposal?

The metaphysical club. I actually don’t have much interest in belief or faith anymore, but when I did, the scientific approach to believe was a big deal for me. Now my approach is “belief for thee but not for me.” I’ve decided that belief hypocrisy is the correct way to live. Don’t do what you sell. Beliefs are drugs.
I think the only exception I would ever make for this rule is selling shrooms. I think shrooms are medicinal enough that they don’t count as an addictive drug. Actually, I would also put salvia divinorum in that category as well. But religion is totally bogus and is for tricking people.
On the other hand, I think the holy Bible is great. If I could make one change to the world, I would thrash all of the believers in God and embolden those who criticize the holy Bible from a historical standpoint.

Pro tip: the concept of “friend” comes from the epic of Gilgamesh, which happens to be an advertisement for prostitution and drugs. The idea is that you’re supposed to think of the pimp who takes your money and the drug dealer who takes your money as “friends”.

In a fever dream when I was 15 I began writing a ridiculous novel. As I aged it was rewritten several times a year. It involves immortality, time loops, multiple worlds, alternate personas, past sins and weights of the subconscious. 10 years into writing it and noticing subtle but powerful parallels with my own experience, I realized it was about past lives, future lives, and my current one. It's been a complex map of my life time that only I've been capable of deciphering. Things I've written in it have come to pass. I know how I'll die and where I'll wake up afterward. I want to be alone and enjoy my serenity. Experiencing a lifetime like this occasionally puts myself to the test and opens myself to new experiences to enrich my spirit and appreciation of this beautiful universe.

I'm exemplarily aware of the possibility I'm a deluded, grandiosely mistaken idiot. I've been very wrong about things in my life before and had to grow to understand I was wrong, and I'm prepared for the possibility here as well.

If true (whatever that means), then this is godhood. Ive never shared this before.
