I know it sounds corny but the consolation of philosophy has now saved me multiple times. It saved me from sadness and confusion and it invigorated my faith.

Prop 1 - Substance is by nature prior to its modifications
Substance is prior to modificications (modes), this makes both logical and ontological sense, in that substance is that which is in in itself and is conceived through itself, in that it is a self sufficient, self caused entity that cannot be contingent upon anything external. Spinoza presents his proof through definitions 3 and 5 as it logically follows, however here I will give more context. This establishes substance as the ontological foundation of reality in that God is not the divine creator of the world, but rather that god is the world, within all that exists. In such substance which is infinite, eternal and indivisible. This rejects the classic view of god (maybe why he got kicked out of the jewish church) that god sits apart from the world. In this modes, or determinations of substance, are not substances in themselves but exist within the substance, in such they are dependent on its existence. In link to Axiom 1, “Everything that is, is either in itself or in another.” (pls read the other writing on axioms for clarification) which reaffirms the ontological priority of substance over its modes, modes are in substance but substance is not in any mode. This reflects Spinoza's claim that all that exists as finite expressions of the infinite attributes of god, this undermines the notion of a transcendent deity, in that Spinoza's god is positioned as necessary to the constitution of all being.

>>24953319
Axiom III articulates Spinoza's doctrine of absolute causal necessitarianism (you may have heard that spinoza negates free will as necessity). From a determined cause, an effect follows not arbitrarily but ex necessitate—of logical and ontological necessity. It follows that without cause, no effect can be even conceived as possible (imagine a ball falling of a table without anything acting upon it, including things like gravity or a spectral hand). In such this axiom eliminates indeterminacy and dissolves the metaphysical space in which traditional views of freewill act, this includes chance and brute spontaneity. This asserts empirical regularity, but deep structural identity between the order of causes and subsequently the order of effects. In such all events are born from necessity with the ultimate ground lying within the nature of god or nature (deus sive natura) It is important to note god is also bound by necessity! As this axiom does not only apply to finite things, Spinoza denies that God possesses a freedom of indifference, a power of choosing between alternatives, or any form of volitional arbitrariness. In acting otherwise would be to imagine a rupture between God’s essence and God’s action. God is only free if considered that as a substance he is the cause of his own necessity. Epistemologically, this axiom gives rational inquiry its warrant: knowledge of causes yields certainty because the relation between cause and effect is internally determined rather than externally imposed (note I am very underqualified in any kind of epistemology, probably the same as a waterbottle may be). <3

r8 my character dialogue:

"As the viper makes their den, there in their teaming bosom shall I be unto them their worldly night, coiled about their love to pierce beating heart with sharp toothed venom - to devour their fading life of spirit, and by slowing passage of time as thinner the blood runs extinguish by my entry all hope of renewal.

So shall I be unto the virgins breast like knife to sheath, and run all warmth into unsated soil that whets the appetite of my feeding"

>Sunset found her squatting in the grass, groaning. Every stool was looser than the one before, and smelled fouler. By the time the moon came up she was shitting brown water. The more she drank, the more she shat, but the more she shat, the thirstier she grew, and her thirst sent her crawling to the stream to suck up more water. When she closed her eyes at last, Dany did not know whether she would be strong enough to open them again.

difference betwen h. sapiens and h. sexualis Bible explains is h. sexualis is brute beasts i.e. lack souls, easiest way to determine that is the ability to recognize other souls, especially the heroism of our pally ally in the war forced on him by the Christ-killers, thus virtually all american pastors, who become pastor through acquisition of an outrageous master of divinity degree, and soulless vain light fellows who presumably would have been businessmen if they had any talent at all, like the pastor of salem at the time of the satanic witch trials. being an h. sexualis, pierce is incapable of understanding what its like to have a soul or write h. sapiens characters
* pierce was known to his contemporaries in the rockwell group as a physical coward. to avoid being around men and have access to children instead, he ran the youth alliance
* pierce wrote sex scenes in his novels for young adults, but he couldnt have expected Christ-killers to publish them, he simply wrote sex scenes for the thrill of teaching young adults what sex is like
* pierces characters casually use contraceptives and engage in posslqdom, which at the time he wrote were both scandalous behavior that the actual right wing vehemently condemned
* in the 90's, pierce explained in his podcast that marriage is an outmoded economic arrangement that is withering away, because piece was a pinko. in reality marriage is a spiritual arrangement that was under daemonic attack from pierce and his pinko friends

I want to know why any of these people even exist. Why does race realism or the right-wing require books, authors or figureheads to distort what is evident? For thousands of years we had people accepting there's differences in races and traditions existed for numerous benefits, and we still have that, yet for some reason we also have these strange grifters trying to weaponize these fundamental things that people often realize on their own. I liken it to trying to arm blades of grass, derivative as that concept might be. What's the point? Even if they'll tell you otherwise, nobody is going to be happy a nigger is approaching them on the street at 2AM or all the silicon CEOs are becoming Indian and Chinese. They know why that displeases them, the understanding arrives to them more readily than anything. Nobody is scratching their head desperately trying to rationalize why pale skin and fair, nicely-sculpted features are desirable in every culture. Yet much like organized religion there just has to be a bunch of assholes trying to "human up" things that merely are with scripture, documents, theories, rules, blablabla.

Even kids in that era were ruined by too much TV and video games. I grew up in the 1990s, but we didn't have cable or satellite TV until I was 12, and I never played a video game until I was in middle school. I was reading before I could walk, and loved drawing and building things with legos and kinex sets, which progressed to making models and woodworking when I got older.

Most kids my own generation did not have a childhood like that.

I kept track of my reading pace for a couple months. During that time I averaged about 35 pages an hour. That can change quite a bit based on the density of the reading material and the page layout. Right now I'm flying through the Seamus Heaney translation of Beowulf because even though it's over 200 pages, half of them are in Old English and the modern English pages are printed in a verse arrangement. Probably getting through a page every 45 seconds or so.

I mean, I grew up in the same time period with tons of time spent watching TV and playing video games on the PS1/GBA, and still read shitloads. I think it helped that my parents were pretty encouraging about it and read books like Harry Potter, Narnia, and the Hobbit to me when I was younger. Parents nowadays just give their kids a tablet and want them to leave them the fuck alone.

I'm looking for clever illustrations of what a leftist utopia/dystopia could look like, with special attention to the rough edges. It would probably be scifi.
I'm not asking for chudslop written by poltards and their likes, nor a time-wasting apologetic wet dream, but rather a sincere exploration of the good and bad sides.
For example, "The Compass Rose" by Le Guin showed interesting ideas about what an anarchist society could look like, sad things included.

We are not in France fighting over we keep the monarchy or not.

"Left" is for freedom from controls (such as the king)
"Right" is for the controls of society

Marxism (economics plan aside) is as authoritarian as any old monarchy.

For a *communist* (anarchist) utopia: News From Nowhere - Morris

When it's time to penetrate, it's best if the girl left out is going in between you and the other girl. She kisses you while she gets eaten out, or vice versa, for example. It's okay if you're the one giving pleasure to both sometimes but if that's the case there are other times where you're getting pleasured by both as well.

Not if you're content with being irreligious, it's a waste of time to peruse superstitious old tomes. But if you want to understand religion, and the religious mindset, for whatever reason, then reading their texts might be helpful. I did study the Bible briefly, in order to better understand Christians, but it had no effect whatsoever on my atheism and it didn't much improve my opinion of Christian "scholars" either.

>>24953148
Reading religious texts are vital for understanding a lot of art. Not just paintings/sculptures, but it's embedded in a lot of authors as well. Unless you mean something different by religious literature, like apologetics books. Then probably not, unless you're interested in debate. If you mean something like religious fiction, then you're probably not missing much, as it's made for the existing believers' tastes.
When I learned the basics of Buddhism, then a lot of shit in Japanese media made way more sense. Same thing with Christianity in the west.
