I had a dream about a man who played retarded for decade and killed people. The detectives couldn't pin point the killer was the man because they assumed he'd be too retarded to do so.The retard man was played by Kevin Spacey.

Can some Aristotle Christcuck please explain to me what differentiates Aristotle from Plato? From everything I've read of Aristotle, it just seems like he was embarrassingly filtered, like a 12 year old atheist. Please, if there are Aristotle tards out there, justify this nigga's existence. I'm at the point where I believe that the only reason he exist is because Jews want to portray Christianity as a consequence of his metaphysics which are ultimately retarded.
>>25182930Not fond of either but from what I recall offhand>Plato believed in metempsychosis while Aristotle believed it was at best unproven>Plato believed matter was shaped by form while Aristotle believed that form was the result of the expression of an innate property in matter>Plato believed that good ethics were the result of knowledge of the absolute supreme good while Aristotle believed they were the result of intelligently engaging in deliberately good actions

Isn't "the unique one" or "the only" or "the ego", a product of society? It is produced by intercourse and womb and raised up and molded. No desires except the simplest, instinctual ones, arise within the individual, they are inputted from his world. His clothes, his language, his habits. There is also nothing the individual does per se, no more than a cell in his body does anything per se. All of his thoughts are woven from the material manufactured by countless other minds and forged by his imagination. He is constantly bombarded by messages and conditions, to have certain desires and drives and to find in these his sense of purpose. How are these subliminal or unconscious "spooks", less spooky than conscious ones? How is it that a union of individuals is a spook, but a conflicting bundle of desires and individual brain cells, is not?
>>25182295>How are these subliminal or unconscious "spooks", less spooky than conscious ones?"There is a difference whether one is determined by an other or by oneself, whether one is a living one or a reasonable one. Love lives on the principle that everyone does what he does for the sake of the other, freedom lives on the principle that he does it for his own sake""But how does love appear in the face of freedom?"Stirner, Preliminary Remarks on the Liebesstaat (pic)>How is it that a union of individuals is a spook, but a conflicting bundle of desires and individual brain cells, is not?I don't think you understand what a spook is, it is not just any idea. A spook is a concept which holds power over you because you've made it real and forgot you were the creator of that concept, that idea, and therefore its master, and therefore capable to abandon it whenever, because it holds no power. A spook is an idea that holds power of decision over you. By "you" you must understand the conscious ego, that must evaluate things for itself. >Isn't "the unique one" or "the only" or "the ego", a product of society?

>>25182964(continuing)another pic from "Philosophical Reactionaries", with a rant that I likeThe hard part is always being clear about what it is to be a slave, or a master. What does it mean to be addicted, and lacking choice, or what does it mean to 'choose' something.To me it always comes clear with that question "Can you say 'no'?". It comes clear that someone addicted to drugs, or food, or TV, is simply unable to say no, and has one desire that eats up every other, It's an imbalance in a way. You could say "but if you desire that thing A(e.g. drugs) and you fulfill that desire isn't that a choice? Isn't that fine? Aren't you saying 'Yes' to it?", You are indeed right that you say yes at all times to a particular desire when you are addicted, but what makes it not a choice, is that you confront one single desire with every other you incapable to say no.Similarly, what is 'choice'? To me choice only happens with a power of evaluation and the *possibility of rejection*, it is saying Yes while having the potential to say No, otherwise it is no choice at all."Where does unselfishness begin? Right where an end ceases to be our end and our property [Eigen/um] , which we, as owners, can dispose of at pleasure; where it becomes a fixed end or a - fixed idea; where it begins to inspire, enthuse, fanaticize us; in short, where it passes into our stubbornness and becomes our - master. One is not unselfish so long as he retains the end in his power; one becomes so only at that 'Here I stand, I can do no other', the fundamental maxim of Comment too long.

>>25182984(continuing)I'll add one last point because I have seen it being brought up against me many times.Continuously saying Yes to living in society is not proof or admission of slavery, or an argument that you should live *for* it, if you say Yes to society continuously because you recognize it benefits *you* when compared to the alternative of being a hermit or committing suicide then it is still a choice so long as you keep the power within you to end yourself at any moment you'd see society being irremediably bad, the Ultimate No, suicide.

What do you think about D.H. Lawrence? Have you read any of his novels/ poetry?

>"When I read Shakespeare I am struck with wonder that such trivial people should muse and thunder in such lovely language."Never read this D.H Lawrence character in my life, but I already like him...a lot.
>>25179048Glad to see others have already recommended later not quite so well-known novels, Kangaroo and The Plumed Serpent. Regarding his poetry: he was a very talented user of strict forms who wrote some really nice lyrics earlier on; later volumes, like Pansies, develop a loose free verse that it like transcribed talk, fortunately very interesting talk. There is a great volume of Complete Poems published by Penguin, I recommend.Lawrence was amazingly productive; he was capable of exceptionally good writing in both prose and verse; naturally enough, not everything he wrote is up to his own best standard.

At some point, my main character goes through major physical alterations and a personality change to something crazier, should he be "crazy" just because his weird thoughts are spoken out loud, or what else would show that he's not all right in the head?

>>25155267Yoko Ono said that, not John Lennon. Who wrote a song with her called that after she used it in an interview.By that she meant that women are treated badly the world over in the same way that she thought black people were treated poorly in the US. It doesn't mean she thinks women are bad.It's like saying "women are the slaves of the world" or "women are the downtrodden of the world".
