did u read that article by nicholas carr where he talks abt how nietzsche started writing these shitty little aphorisms when he switched to a typewriter. he literally twittered himself with 19th century technology.

just read it and it everything about him makes more sense when you realize he was just the first xitterfag

>>24848790
I think people confused (and continue to confuse) his passion for insight. He had a great, almost delirious energy for life and philosophy and art, but it never amounted to much of substance. Mostly just unshaped manic ravings, only slightly more sophisticated than the kind you might find from the local schizophrenic bellowing at the top of his lungs on your nearby street corner.

for a moment I thought this was some modern "poetry"

I have seen that book and might give it a read sooner or later. The thing with Evola is while he does present somethings in truth, he betrayed a critical misunderstanding, especially with his putting the warrior caste above the priests.

>>24848913
I understood him as putting them both as necessary parts of society and paths men use to channel their masculine energy, with the combination of both being necessary to become a leader. I have my disagreements with Evola too i.e. I'm not entirely sold on solar and lunar being racial and do think Guénon is more spiritually aware (most importantly because he actually initiated himself into a tradition) but I still find his work phenomenal overall.

You are correct in saying that in Jewish tradition, anyone born to a Jewish mother is considered part of the faith by birth, but in spite of this Proust was raised in his father's Catholicism. He still obviously would've been aware of his Jewish heritage, which certainly would have affected him living through the Dreyfus affair, which is pretty directly addressed at myriad points throughout the entirety of In Search of Lost Time

I could never understand verse. Shakespeare is one of the worst things I've read and I truly can't comprehend the praise he receives. Proust is easily my favorite author. Does this make me retarded, or what? How can I get into poetry?

Yeah, even going in with that attitude, it's still going to disappoint you. The Hitchhiker's Guide Trilogy was low-effort boomer "humor" and, while I don't regret reading it lo these decades gone, I cannot recommend it to anybody outside of geriatric hospice care. There's just too many better optoons if you're looking for a laugh. Now, the Dirk Gently novels, on the other hand, do manage to entertain without relying on dementia patients remembering the thing being referenced, but your mileage may vary.

_____________________
Jordan Peterson took a doctor prescribed medication. There is no evidence he was abusing it or taking it in a higher dosage than directed by his physician. He experienced a severe side effect from said medication culminating in his seeking treatment in 2018. This side effect and symptoms related to it were not listed on the medication until 2019--after Peterson had gone public about his symptoms.

In a nutshell, Jordan Peterson sustained a neurological injury from doctor prescribed medication. This affected his immune system and his body began reacting to random foods he normally had no problem consuming (people who experience the same side effect will have histamine responses to food/drink they were not allergic to in the past--their body has seemingly random immunological responses that vary in severity and degree). On top of this there are also adverse effects on the regulation of the parasympathetic nervous system. As far as the later is concerned psychological symptoms arise (e.g. a sense of dread/terror, lack of impulse control, sleep regulation, appetite regulation, etc).

When Peterson stopped taking his medication due to the above he experienced severe withdrawal symptoms. This is not due to an "addiction" but rather a physical dependency that commonly arises from wide range of medications. Akathisia is one of the worst of such symptoms as it creates an insatiable sense of restlessness. This is not simple anxiety although anxiety may arise due to akathisia which is itself a motor disorder. The reason this symptom is labelled "subjective" is because it is qualitative and patient reported. The pain one has during a migraine or a cluster headache is also "subjective"--this doesn't mean the pain doesn't exist.

Peterson sought treatment in Canada but was given a poor diagnosis and thereby sought treatment at a specialized facility that developed an experimental treatment regimen specific to the symptoms he was experiencing. He was put into a comatose state so as to negate extreme withdrawal symptoms and to avoid further neurological damage. The treatment was a success and in the years since he has continued with him life and found success in multiple endeavors.

People who want to attack Peterson try to label him as a drug addict. In so doing, they wish to bring in the connotations associated with addiction as a way to defame him. In realty, Peterson had a physical dependency on medication, as many people do, AND had a server side effect, unknown at the time, that compounded the dangers of simply tapering off the drug. No loaded language is needed to describe what actually happened; an appeal to the facts at hand alongside information relating to such experiences themselves suffice.

Here's a medical doctor who specializes in the treatment of medication withdrawal explaining exactly what Peterson went through:

That's just pretty much every woman, though.

At Trompington, not far from Niggervale
Beside the woods, there stands a jail
Whose inmates count, as of today
Thieves, and thugs, and Cho Seung-Hui.

I opened the cellar door
There was a monster there
"These chains make me sore
and tangle my golden hair"

The monster softly spoke
Blue eyes in the dark
Closed the door before I broke
Before she broke my heart

There's beauty, if you'll take it, in a fart.
Just let one rip, and call it art.
Beyond an airless strain, yet not a shart.
God's goldilocks, apart.
Breathe, and be lost, in its enriching dart
From bowels to heart.

But you can. The issue is that the system is so needlessly over complicated that you can't accurately do it in advance.

>>24845668
I mean I agree with the title of the book, but the arguments it presents are insane. Someone who's actually read it should correct me if it presents this argument, but liberalism is failing purely for economic reasons, and it was doomed to fail because it was doomed to create those economic conditions.
Put simply, liberalism is a way of legitimizing the rule of a capitalist state by means of apparent freedoms. It can lean left or right with how many freedoms it offers its subjects. Leaning leftward offers freedoms like welfare and limited working hours to the people, but this comes at an economic cost. Leaning rightward restricts those freedoms, and leaning all the way right transitions to fascism.
The problem is that a capitalist economy will always stagnate. It has to, growth cannot be sustained indefinitely. When this happens though, a left-leaning liberal society sees economic turmoil that can only be resolved through the elimination of freedoms. This is why it fails, the natural progression of the economy makes liberalism ALWAYS decay into fascism.
This book presents a non-solution, since it sees the right-leaning form of liberalism as the solution to liberalism, but it's really just a step closer to fascism. It fails to recognize that the economy is what's actually in control here, and so the solution must be in the abolition of capitalism and not in embracing fascism.

>>24845668
Liberalism did not fail. It actually really is the only ideology worthy of Man and we're seeing how valuable it is by contrasting it with the current Christofascist nonsense that has subverted America.

>>24848800
Hate to break it to ya but capitalism isn't stagnating it's flourishing better than ever and the purest state military backed form is still and will remain on top for the foreseeable future.

Congratulations, now you have a future as a disciple in transcendental philosophy.

does anyone think Kant's uses "appearance" to just explain everything without accounting for why we can think of it? i think Bergson mentions something like that. but is there anything in Aristotle that refers to this word, or is it more specifically with reference to physics?

anyone read kant's lectures on anthropology? some chatbot recommended me that shit earlier i was like bruh all those kantoids on /lit/ never told me abt that one
