The power of the nil.
Negate, dismiss, reject…laugh.
The formula works for you.
The inclination towards authoritarianism is genetic. Yet, genetic inheritance can be cultivated or allowed to atrophy - Nurture/Nature.
An inherited weakness can be cultivated.
Semites inherit that weakness.
Yup. The other day some guy tried to tell me two plus two equals five. I disagreed. And do you know that guy had the nerve to call me a nihilist? I told him ‘yeah, I’mma nihilist, but not because two plus two doesn’t equal five.’
There ya go.
It’s been working for you.
Has anyone watched E. Michael Jones?
The problem is not 1+1=2.
It is the belief that the one exists independent from the mind. The literal belief in a one.
That is psychological, and psychology is inherited.
Like confusing a representation for the represented.
I have not. Would you like to tell me a bit about him?
Nah…I’ve learned not to waste my time on the brain dead.
Let’s keep it light and smarmy.
Give me a pun…
Let’s laugh…like the buddies that we’ve become over the years.
We’ve been through a lot, you and I.
I know shit about you, you’ve never told. It makes me feel close to you.
Plus, you’ve posted so much material…videos lectures, you shouting at your mother.
I have enough material.
It’s this kind of radical berkeleyean empiricism that has sabotaged philosophy for centuries and made of the word ‘mind’ something completely unintelligeable. Following this, all manner of linguistic problems arise that are thought to be conceptual. See Peter hacker on this, but not wittgenstein. Stay away from that guy if ya know what’s good for ya.
I’ve always been a star in the tabloids.
I use philosophy forums for social media platforms. My premise: they’re smarter than the Facebook crowd, but not quite smart enough to do philosophy. My conclusion: do what I would do on Facebook, here, instead, and keep an eye out for anything philosophical.
So far so good. I’m around people who are just smart enough to recognize my greatness, but not smart enough to solicit my interests in bothering to argue with them over their nonsense.
… although I admit, sometimes I fail and post something other than a joke or a video.
Aren’t you one of many 'great nos" on ILP?
Hard to keep track of so many geniuses.
on the contrary, my good man, i am one of the ‘great yeses’, the great yea sayers! as long as there is an abundance of action, irony, comedy, and tragedy in the world, i am perfectly content with everything else that comes with it, and i have yet to discover that all the things you find so terrible in the world are really any cause for alarm. buffoons, messiahs, and all manner of excessively verbose grandiose clowns of no significance… none of this is a real problem. in every world there are ‘extras’, filler material… like the parts of the song that are just there to lengthen it but give it no real substance… that don’t make that world worth looking at but are necessary for it to exist nonetheless. but i understand where you’re coming from, what you’d like to see, and why you’d like to see it. especially what you’d like to prevent. i never objected to any of that provided you did not try to justify it philosophically. i’d rather just hear you declare ‘i don’t need to explain myself!’ and charge forth on your horse. that’s something i’d watch. but when you try to explain yourself philosophically, create excuses, and grant yourself license, my eye-lid starts to twitch and i have to say something. i just gotta. i can’t bear to look at it, man.
so it’s not ‘that’ you are what you are and do what you do, but ‘why’ and ‘how’ you defend yourself in being/doing so. this is where the comedy begins, where i shout ‘yes! some action! it’s go time!’
and regarding my recent turn back to the left, let me explain what has happened. it’s really just a matter of aesthetics and taste and i wouldn’t dare try to justify it philosophically. now as you know, i’ve never denied the basic principles of social darwinism or the economic processes through which we see it expressed. what has happened, though, is that i have found that the result of a specific predator/prey relationship (capitalist/working class) does not justify the advantage the predator is given over the prey. this is to say i’ve yet to see a capitalist that is great enough to justify my not wanting to interfere with this relationship, this social darwinistic dynamic. i’m not seeing a great enough distinction between exploiter and exploited to allow myself to respect and admire that dynamic. instead, what i am seeing is one ordinary person experience a great number of benefits at the expense of many other ordinary people. that being the case, it would make no sense to deny many ordinary people a number of luxuries so that a single ordinary person might have them.
now if you show me a planet on which a superior alien species has enslaved an inferior native species, i might not be disturbed by the social darwinism we observe there. this would be justifiable, because look at how awesome those aliens are. but here on earf, i just don’t see it, bro. what i see here on earf is ugly, feeble, weak, conniving. those who rise to the top at the expense of the others, and who have been attempting to defend this rise by utilizing centuries of philosophical bullshit and subterfuge, offend my tastes. that’s all. shirley you understand.
what i’m doing i don’t do because i have thought long about it. i’m a nihilist. i don’t think anymore. rather i follow my nose. i can smell it.

I haven’t heard of him, but I do keep track of all these Pro-Censorship Anti-Free-Speech trends going on. The blotting-out of Eric Ciarmella’s name, the supposed “Whistleblower” against Trump, is particularly interesting. Congress threatens anybody who “summons the name”. The First Amendment is under attack.
In my Advanced Freedom thread, I quickly realized and discovered, that most ‘Western’ people promoting or claiming to value “Freedom”, don’t really do so. At least, their (per)version of freedom is abstract. Linking to your idea of innocence, Western “freedom”, commonly used, is a double-standard, meaning “free for me and mind, but not you and yours”. Furthermore, I don’t believe in “Free”, except that any and all freedoms have a cost. One person’s freedom comes at the restriction of another’s. I then pressed the individuals in the Advanced Freedom thread to demonstrate otherwise, or give evidence for any type of freedom that “lifts all boats”. Nobody could answer this.
So within this context, Aegean, do you believe that there is a Slave-Master component in genealogy.
Are some people ‘born’ to be(come) “free”? And most others, simply are not, the ‘slave-caste’? Is it genetic?
If Sartre was correct about anything then it was man’s fear of freedom.
To be aware that your every choice, and action, conscious or not, participates in the determination of your future is a terrifying idea to accept.
Freedom, properly defined, is expressed as choice. Choice is based no judgment, awareness, which makes the quality of the individual an important component in the coming to a choice and which choice is made.
Freedom defined in absolute terms is a method of discrediting and defining it out of existence. It is the either/or strategy of the nihilistic defence.
It ought to be absolute or it must be nil.
Definitely.
Psychological traits, like physical ones, are inherited as potential.
Memes are gene specific, even if they can also be transferred to other genetic groups, just as the Caucasian genes can be mixed with Negros genes, when genetic isolation has not been long enough to produce a permanent rift preventing such resynthesizing.
A meme is the product of a relationship, between a specific genetic group, and a specific environment, over a specific period of space/time.
Language is the externalized expression of this relationship.
The form of the language, the parts of the throat and face it uses to form sounds, the shapes of its lettering, are all the product of this relationship, carrying with it a particular attitude, demeanour, world-view.
Some tribes, due to historical circumstances have a higher potential to be attracted to slavishness and victimhood.
Just as DNA establishes potentials, so too does a meme, replicated linguistically, carry potentials from mind to mind.
DNA uses a four-code system (TCAG) to produce a three-dimensional organism - body/nervous system/mind.
Reason/Will/Passion
Memes are based no a binary - 1/0 - producing a triangulation, i.e., subjective (interpretation)/motive-movement (momentum)-objective (intent)
Evolution does not limit itself to the physical - body - but also determines the inherited potentials for psychologies, demeanours, attitudes.
Just as we inherit the potential for height, muscle and skeletal structure, pigmentation etc. we also inherit the potential for specific reactions to reality.
Slavishness, victimhood, herd psychology can be cultivated in all tribes and individuals, but it comes naturally to some, due to their genetics, and not so easily in others.
Nature is about inherited potentials and nurture is about how much of it will be cultivated or left to atrophy.
Victim psychology is an inherited potential which can be cultivated and inherited as a higher potential in some tribes and a lower one in others.
Semitic tribes show a high potential towards it.
It’s not accidental that Semitic tribes developed victimhood as their identifier and that this when transferred to other tribes - such as Europeans - was terraformed.
Genes also mutate with every replication and synthesis.
Judaism became Christianity and islam; Hellenism splintered Judaism into three, the orthodox, the social and the political, i.e., Orthodox/Zionism/Marxism.
An example of cross-contamination.
Jesus is an interesting symbol of conflicting memes. Doesn’t matter if he was a real historical figure, or a synthesis of multiple figures, or entirely fictional. He represents this Aryan/Jewish synthesis that could not survive as a tangible, real being, because the two memes are so antithetical, but had to die, as a reality to be reborn as an ideology where the incompatible is covered by obscurantism and occultism.
The story of Jesus is a story of infestation, converting the incompatible into a nonsensical mystification to conceal this incompatibility.
Jesus is crucifies as a schizophrenic - see Biblical narratives of how he is confronted by inner demons - to be born as purified idea. the only way the incompatible and contradicting can be synthesized.
It’s interesting…
by today’s snowflake, menorah, standards the ancient Greeks were the equivalent, if not worse, than Nazis.
Spartans in particular, but even the much lauded Athenians had slaves, did not allow their women to vote, and did not even have democracy for most of their history, but had a system Henson named Timocracy.
We should keep this in mind every time a moron claims to be a Hellenophile.
Like with most of the opinions of men-children their opinions are based no an idealization of reality.
They either demonize what they dislike and what threatens their delusions, or they sanctify selectively and arbitrarily.
What empties a sanitarium is when a doctor enters carrying with him their medications.
They scatter and disappear.

jesus christ dude you don’t ever say that. if you think people aren’t interacting with you because you’ve won some kind of argument, you don’t announce this. you just remain silent. here’s why. it may be that people think you’re a douche-rocket and don’t want to bother with you. see you can’t be sure they believe you’ve actually won anything… and if you take the risk of declaring this publicly, and happen to be wrong, you double how silly you look in their eyes. this is terrible for forum PR. you should know all this, man. how long have you been doing this? twenty years now?
jesus. look, ask carleas to delete that post and hope it isn’t too late.
