Create Through Love (Guiding Axiom 7/7) | IR #16

2022/12/12

“I was always disgusted with this notion of “I love the world” universal love. I don’t like the world. I don’t know how… Basically, I’m somewhere in between “I hate the world” or “I’m indifferent towards it.” But the whole of reality, it’s just it. It’s stupid. It is out there. I don’t care about it. Love, for me, is an extremely violent act. Love is not “I love you all.” Love means I pick out something, and it’s, again, this structure of imbalance. Even if this something is just a small detail… a

“Our honesty, we free spirits—let us be careful lest it become our vanity, our ornament and ostentation, our limitation, our stupidity! Every virtue inclines to stupidity, every stupidity to virtue; ‘stupid to the point of sanctity,’ they say in Russia,—let us be careful lest out of pure honesty we eventually become saints and bores!” ― Friedrich Nietzsche (Beyond Good and Evil, A. 227) Original piece:

“Christianity protests against every form of objectivity; it desires that the subject should be infinitely concerned about himself. It is with subjectivity that Christianity is concerned, and it is only in subjectivity that its truth exists, if it exists at all. Objectively, Christianity has absolutely no existence. If the truth happens to be only in a single subject it exists in him alone; and there is greater Christian joy in heaven over this one individual than over universal history or the

Never Mistake Cynicism For Wisdom (Guiding Axiom 3/7)...

2022/11/05

“But the new rebel is a Sceptic, and will not entirely trust anything. He has no loyalty; therefore he can never be really a revolutionist. And the fact that he doubts everything really gets in his way when he wants to denounce anything. For all denunciation implies a moral doctrine of some kind; and the modern revolutionist doubts not only the institution he denounces, but the doctrine by which he denounces it. [...] By rebelling against everything he has lost his right to rebel against anything.”

Paul (PF Jung: https://www.youtube.com/c/PFJung) is a YouTuber that discusses the ideas of Jordan Peterson & Carl Jung.

“If all enigmas are resolved, the stars go out.

2022/05/27

"The courage to take the anxiety of meaninglessness upon oneself is the boundary line up to which the courage to be can go. Beyond it is mere non-being. Within it all forms of courage are re-established in the power of the God above the God of theism. The courage to be is rooted in the God' who appears when God has disappeared in the anxiety of doubt." — Paul Tillich My disquisition on the foremost Existentialist Theologians of the 20th Century, Paul Tillich's The Courage to

What can Breaking Bad and Crime and Punishment tell us about utilitarianism? “I for instance consider that a single misdeed is permissible if the principal aim is right, a solitary wrongdoing and hundreds of good deeds!” “The more cunning a man is, the less he suspects he will be caught in a simple thing.” — Raskolnikov --------------------------------------- {Podcast} Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4ryEqjut4r6SMtfxLdM1Le Anchor: https://anchor.fm/rahul-samaranayake YouTube:
