@TPatbat @saturnine_grace I also have a question, which is why you feel like making a point without making a point is worth even your time

I do kind of feel like Buddhism is a more serious religion than any other, like the idea of the future Jerusalem or heaven has always been fundamentally unbelievable to me but i can get the appeal of pure annihilation and the realistic goal of the reduction of suffering
English
@AeonBaudrillard @91_starman67619 @saturnine_grace = “Not-everything is saved” = the separation between being and nothing is saved = the possibility of being and nothing is saved = … you can fill in the blanks. Every further distinction is simply rhetorical because nothing real constrains salvation.
English
English
@AeonBaudrillard @91_starman67619 @saturnine_grace Well ‘actually does’ is a bit misleading considering the fact that whatever is in actuality has not been annihilated.
English
@91_starman67619 @saturnine_grace Yes. But the point here is that Christianity actually does what cannot be done.
English
Baudrillard’s limit is just that his world is child’s play. “The Gulf War didn’t happen” is amateur hour. Try: strikes during ceasefire imposed by the attacker, announced as “no cause for concern” by his enemy, for no one named but that power that constricts itself as it wins.

No such thing as using the app ‘well’. there is wanting to go through an erotic ordeal or not wanting to. Sex isnt evil, but neither is it beautiful (but learn from
Diotima that what is not beautiful is NOT therefore ugly). Sex is castration. Anxiety is desire. You already know.
Jorge of the Wired@saturnine_grace
@Italofiend Why? I'm tempted to agree but I'm trying to be humble and admit that I either just generally suck as a person or am too dumb to use the app well
English
Perversion is a form of containment, but not of fear. fear itself can also be read as a containment for an unbound libidinal attachment. It makes no sense either way, besides simply identifying the need to ‘contain’ desire, which is not a need but an articulation of desire itself
Reuben Rodriguez@ReubenR80027912
Fetishes are just the eroticism of fears. By turning fears into something perversely pleasurable they are manageable. 0.01% of the pop *actually* engages in cuckoldry irl but for ~200 yrs it has occupied the Western mind B/c cuckoldry is the eroticization of dispossession (1/2)

Nominalist return in the form of the parallelism of Absolute Aura (‘intrinsic socially empowered’) and Ordained Aura (‘circumstantially socially empowered’)

It’s very funny ending up on the same side politically as very low-openness, rigid traditionalists. I became RW because of my 99th percentile high openness + rebellious tendencies

will take you far. but a question remains whether the self-theorizing experiment of thought automatically confesses its own valuative structure or is formed by reflection. And further: whether reflection is an endogenous dialectic of memory or an exogenous dialectic of program.

Hegel, Marx, Sartre, and Fanon each show that there is no “dialectical method.” Methods are themselves enveloped by a certain form of thinking. Immanent Critique is a method. Phenomenology is a method. Psychoanalysis is a method. Each of them expresses Dialectical Reason.
English
The ontology of Nietzschean dialectic of performance is *sniff* precisely nothing else than the ontology of the first undergraduate year itself…
sara (rebirth)@anonpriestess
define ontological define nietzschean define dialectical define performative define every buzzword you learned in your first year of uni during your liberal arts degree that you never properly retained

@saturnine_grace that’s why we are not Freudians, because we are searching after sinthomatic thriving—but not symptomatic ecstasis
English
Ok but Mr. Freud what if i think hysteria or perversion is a more interesting way of being than "ordinary unhappiness"?

@saturnine_grace For church history I like Ryan Reeves’ videos on youtube

right for the wrong reason. “The point of crucifixion” is not for you to crucify yourself but for you to BE crucified. Why else would Peter Abelard make the distinction between ‘Origen’s sin’ of self-castration and castration by the world, which for him unleashed the Paraclete.
Enzo@Enzorpheus
No Patrick, the point of the Crucifixion was not for you to crucify yourself also.
English
Cringe is not embarrassment. It is the affective registration of nonrelation itself.
English
“Economic rationality brutalizes via distributed self-scapegoating. I‘ll infinitely perform the truth that the world refuses to accept!” Yes, women can be abject heroes too; it looks uglier from the pov of a masculine abjection that seeks its advantage in everything destitute.

AFFECT is mood in its state of being begotten. The only affect that does not lie is anxiety because anxiety is the mood of the begetting of mood. Every other affect lies in that they all in their own way tempt the subject to reside within the mood as something unbegotten.
English
Thought flattens but it is not itself flat. One gets the impression thought takes the quickest path only because thought concerns itself with making a path, which will always be the most minimum distance between two objects. But the making itself made be radically elliptical.
English
@Ripoffconverse The narrative is very straightforward. There is a girl who is solicited to become the god of the internet by a false god who is playing at godhood in a pathological effort to repeat the trauma of becoming-god. And they both find out there is a possibility of a true god.
English
@PervertGuide Lain is bad, like the showrunners obviously rewrote the plot trajectory every episode. There is no coherent message you can drag out of it that isn’t expressed more coherently in the media that inspired it/that it plagiarized
English
Lain is anti-Land. Land wants to bargain-with-and-outwit the demiurge (Eiri), in the style of Angloid daemonic platonism, to de-texturize what can with some banality be called psychic space.
Lain is hunting the demiurge & grasps that the cost is soul-death/paranatural doubling.
