If you find yourself living in hell, you'd better learn to love demons

It's everyone's right and duty to seek meaning in the world, and nothing should stand in the way of that; not even mercy.

Meaning is fine. But to say that meaning produced by pain is the sanction of pain, is like saying that the scab produced by bleeding is the sanction of bleeding.

Racial dominance is a natural consequence of positive externalities, not biology. As culture accumulates, the inevitably homogeneous host population benefits at an exponential rate over each generation. This is simply a demonstration of first-mover advantage; and of the undeniably accelerationist teleology of information.

1) Whosoever surrenders to ressentiment, will always begin their gospel in much the same way: "Let there be spite, and there was spite."

35) The Uninterrupted Genius: In the lives of all great men, we find a common trait. Schopenhauer, disturbed by a woman speaking loudly by his door, threw her down a flight of stairs. Beethoven, likewise disrupted by an idle conversation, flew into a fit of rage that eventually cost him the hearing on which his art relied. What lesson here? Interrupt the genius, not only at your peril, but mankind's.

21) If you wish to know the soul of a nation, look to its proverbs.

26) Forgive them their falsities, for they know not what they are.

>If we can neither find nor make no beauty in his stead.

"When listening to music, try to absolve from the words spoken. Find music in its purest form, and embrace the mood as it washes wash over you. Allow your thoughts to paint a picture, story, dialog, or idea along the feelings ringing in your mind; and discover yourself kissing the masque of dreams—your reflection staring back through the welled eyes beneath the plastic."

"True art speaks to part of you that doesn’t exist-- the part you force into the world everyday; giving light to the dusty corners of your moral compass. It bathes your soul with the light of love you neglect it, filling you to the tip until you can’t help but burst. Radiating it forth into the world, as it can not be helped. And this. This radiation is what gives life to life-- essence to presence. For humanity is surely born of mineral and dirt, yet only rises by the sun. And through this radiation, and this radiation only, lies the true tendril of immortality: love is remembered eternally, until eternity ends."

Were it not for the gut, man would not be able to process food

If there were no eternal consciousness in a man, if at the bottom of everything there were only a wild ferment, a power that twisting in dark passions produced everything great or inconsequential; if an unfathomable, insatiable emptiness lay hid beneath everything, what would life be but shitposting?

Generally speaking, suicide, like any other potent tendency, grows more skilled with practice. Everyone is permitted her first hot night with the tender lady Death to embrace, lock tongues, and have the impassioned, lustful, but ultimately messy encounter of virgins, but if one survives the orgasm of such an encounter or two, and most especially if one resolves to put it off for later like a rich dessert, then one ought to muster the dignity to experience other things in the meantime: to fuck other people, to take up hobbies, to get a new job, to see new places, to experience all other avenues, that when one meets Death again, whether soon or much later in time, one might properly earn her company with something more than hormones.

Hitchens 4 Life

The philosopher consumates his masculinity with nature by reason; he UNDERSTANDS women. The mundane man, knowing only his attraction to women, is bereft of such freedom and fails to comprehens his own animal self, and if there is one thing a woman hates, it is a man without self-apprehension.

Every virtue is a degree of a whole circle, an aspect of one indivisible whole. The just are merciful, for justice without mercy is tyranny. The meek are strong, for self-control without strength is but bondage, and so on all the around. Light is one light, but through a prism, a flourish of many sublime and rare iterations.

The beginning of self-mastery: where the manifestation is most immediate, the anchor of all higher realms - the body.

The irreverent are known by their perverse and desperate reverence to what is irreverent.

Hierarchy is present in all of Nature, but hierarchy does imply transcendence.

4chan has regressed in quality exactly because of shunning the "muh sekrit club" mentality, as has every medium, hobby, or art form that does so. INITIATION is a lost practice. "Lurk more" should be the new (old) response to any non-commital newfag, just as "get good" is the appropriate rebuttal to any casual that attempts to dive into a hobby. Business makes up for the skill gap with accessibility, for the sake of profit... doubly wrong. The unbridled arrogance and lack of sophistication from these people: they don't realize a skillful work, imbued with the passion, made whole with honest work, and freed from miserly, small-minded pretense is what sells and will continue to sell down the ages, even after the dilettantes have exhausted their attention spans.
