We have limited attention-credits.

So, my new book is published, and it’s available worldwide on Amazon. And I guess it’s time for me to celebrate a new year. Cheers,

“The metaphor is perhaps one of man’s most fruitful potentialities. Its efficacy verges on magic, and it seems a tool for creation which God forgot inside one of His creatures when He made him.” — Ortega Y Gasset

Adios

There must be a minimum of ignorance in order to perfect a life in happiness. Those who lack such a thing must set about acquiring it: unintelligence must be earned. — Albert Camus, A Happy Death boredabsurdist.com/2024/06/26/sis…

This one’s for Sartre

Random book of the month: Residues: Time, Change, and Uncertainty in Software Architecture Book Review: Have you ever wondered what you can do with a slice of leftover pizza? This book will give you answers. When you and your friends start eating a (very large) pepperoni pizza, you never know which slice will be left to become a leftover. (This is because each one of you picks one random slice after another, and you don't know at what point everyone will be full.) The leftover slice is called a residue. Even though it still is a slice of pepperoni pizza, it is no longer the (whole) pepperoni pizza that was delivered to you. Here, you can choose to do one of two things. 1. Eat the leftover pizza without making modifications to it. 2. Check what else you have in the fridge that has the potential to become your new pizza topping and, based on the wishes of your palate, build on the residue to make something new. The book mostly deals with point number 2. Favorite quote from the book: "The straight jacket of structuralism forces architects to work within a very limited scope regarding the business system that they interact with." @TechnologyTulip

Lol. Quoting from The Communist Manifesto: "Abolition of the family!"

“What we are left with is the fact that the organism wishes to die only in its own fashion.” — Freud, Beyond the Pleasure Principle More quotes from book: boredabsurdist.com/2024/04/06/quo…

@creepydotorg Sure. It looks like Jesus had his last supper at a franchise restaurant that had branches in countries such as Mexico, Egypt, and Indonesia

Can anyone explain?

I expected this book to be more than what it turned out to be. I was expecting the Nietzsche of the 21st century; I got a Hobbesian net surfer instead. Nick Land’s The Dark Enlightenment is the tea time chatter of a person you really don’t want to hang out with. Thankfully, the book is less than 100 pages. The only purpose this book can really serve is as a light commentary on Menius Moldbug’s (Curtis Yarvin’s) blog posts.

This month’s random pick was Mahmoud Rasmi’s Philosophy for Business Leaders. Although the title says it’s for business leaders, the content is for everyone. I say it’s for everyone because it’s also a book that (re)introduces many of the trending (re-emerging) philosophies. The undying ancient Greek philosophers, the fashionable stoics, and the purposeful existentialists come together to make the workplace a better place for you and your colleagues. It’s an informative book you can read on your lunch break or while waiting for everyone to join the weekly Zoom meeting. @Decafquest
