@WHerzogovina It probably seeped into my mind without realizing it. Maybe I was drawing on it. Was this at the end of The Great Divorce?

@SamBuntz Your description is a metaphor almost exactly taken from C.S. Lewis in describing what the Heavenly Kingdom and Bodies might appears as in relation to our present reality

@SamBuntz Shall we? At least it doesn't sound the worst idea to give a go. Am I wrong?

@5000Ladytr79538 Yeah, I think Flatland is meant to make us think about if we encountered a visitor from higher dimensions and to extend the analogy.

@annakhachiyan It doesn't seem like life was always automatically stained with failure the way it is now.

@annakhachiyan Earlier eras certainly had their share of barbarities, but institutions like monasticism at least dealt with human loneliness outside of marriage more effectively. There were better roles for lifelong bachelors and "old maids" (and not just in monastic situations).

People laugh but this will be a major epidemic in just a decade or two, unlocking new galaxy brain tiers of mental illness and granting final legitimacy to the assisted suicide industry
Pay Roll Manager Here@UsingLyft

A lot of women think they’re gonna be ok later in life being alone cuz they’re used to it now but I suspect being alone in your 20s and 30s while still receiving ample male attention will feel much different than being alone in your 40s and 50s. Pride

I want to read an American postwar novel of high literary merit and I really don’t want to hear that I should read Cormac Macarthy. What should I read?

Thinking about how we talk about being conscious. For example, we say that we're "paying attention" to something. It's a monetary figure of speech. We're spending our attention on investments that prove worthless or fruitful. Valuation is always present in the act of looking.

Yes, yes, very monastic and privileged of you to find God in the silence, but can you find Him in the horrid deafening cacophony?

Coffee was first used by Sufi mystics to help them stay awake to meditate and pray longer.

DON’T say “restaurant,” which is from French. The native English word is SNEEDINGHOUSE.

@moonandmouth I think I remember hearing Crowley was mad about the fact that he kept attracting so many redditors. He wanted them to be hot, stylish, debonair.

@SamBuntz Those aren't his goals. You should read his work. He is very clear about this.

One weird thing about Yarvin is that he has the same goals as neoliberal technocrats (efficiency, utility), it's just that he wants to use a CEO-king to get there. (And he's racist.) No appreciation for religion, culture, etc. An impoverished conception of the Good.

Curtis Yarvin reveals his softer side, saying that although he despises America's founding myths, he is passionate about youth athletics: "I care about the people. I like the human beings. I like small-town football."

@SamBuntz That's not true. He started crying when he met Camus and thought about the fact that Europe's culture is on track to be destroyed by demographic replacement, a libtard reporter made fun of him for it. He's pro-white and loves the good.
