the kefka pic was intended for this phrase:
>Becoming-angel playing at being-God.

i have a High Holy Shitload of things to say about ff6. a lot. because of this idea. or that other anon and the ubermensch. and all of this. much else.

i can talk about kefka for miles and miles and miles b/c of how perfectly he encapsulates so much of this shit. it's why i needed deleuze to explain it. but. anyways.

>Wu wei of control and surrender. The control that does not control. The surrender that does not surrender.
yes. this. the Way is *yielding* - and everything about Capitalism is, CTRL. that is why it matters. because the Way is superior. but CTRL is the context we live in. deleuze was right about this. land also. much else.

you know what's a good look? *love.* intellectual, spiritual, or, you know, with puppies and shit.

>Find the Self in the Other. Find the Other in the Self.
this, in other words. just this. and - to do this - *dropping your own hysterical voice.* traditionally more of a problem for me than anyone else. but this was *The* insight of my life. the only one. Be Sane. accept that you are probably Not Sane most of the time. pay attention to this. the whole history of continental theory from Nietzsche to Girard can help illuminate this: Do Not Think You Can Repress That Shit. you cannot. it must come *out,* but you also cannot force it. the psyche is *complicated.* language is *not* the end-deal. and therapy *works.*

>little bit of tantra too.
i only have mad respect for buddhists. i know a few and they are wise af. tantra from what i understand is some endgame buddhism, along with tibetan stuff. i am not well-versed in it but i am wholly certain that those guys know the deal.

>dat ubermensch through philosophy?Psychology? Psychiatry?
dat übermensch *however.* but he must come out, and he must do his shit and conquer the things that only the ubermensch can do. that's the whole deal. because if he does not, it's politics all the rest of the way. bad scene. not sane. mimetics everywhere. not cool. you get what i am saying.

>I appreciate your opinions but I think you really need to contain yourself. Your demeanor is off-putting and actively distorts my-and I'm sure others'-openness to your thoughts. I don't mean to be hurtful or anything, but this is just general life advice. It is possible, and healthy, to express joy and interest without coming off as overeager and abrasive.

yes. understood. and i apologize. i sincerely do not mean to be an overbearing dick. IRL i am lower than low. here i get excited. v much so. it is a mindfuck indeed.

so i will respect the space. 100% no probs. totally.
>abrasive? wow
but again, this is the thing. *you cannot always know how you sound.* me especially. tone is not always communicated over the /lit/. overeager yes; abrasive, 158% not or ever my attention. straight facts. understood.

>how many starve
does not compute

>you say ennui is played but what does your typical data-entry worker do to eat while he's getting rid of the job that contributes to his "played" out condition?
see above

let me clarify:
in my experience theory is like driving a car. the accelerator is suspicion and empiricism is the brake.

being bored is fine. it's just like peterson says: order is what you get when things are working. or fukuyama: maybe we have hit the end of history. the thing there is the condition of decadence, of the last man.

as my posts would indicate, i am trying to get beyond politics and increasingly beyond metaphysics. i would like to write fiction. i stumbled into Nick Land's Wild Ride purely by accident. i am now trying to drag myself out of that fun house and will perhaps have a story to tell.

so please don't misinterpret me. not only am i halfway between psychoanalysis & philosophy, i am also halfway between *my own* psychoanalysis/philosophy and that of the other's. the word for this is ideology and i know this very well.

that is how it is for me. i believe it to be so for a lot of people. traversing the symbolic realm, cleaning their room, becoming a BwO - not all the same, these ideas, but not so different: all *escape mechanisms.* but trying to get over a certain psychic hump sometimes only gets humpier the more one tries.

so the answer to, how many have to starve is, obviously, *nobody.* and as for your data-entry guy, please don't misinterpret me. people are different.

i'm fucked by bewilderment and trying to find a way back *into* normal and boring regular life. i've seen enough weirdness now. that's what i'm all about. i'm not propounding any ideologies. i'm certainly not trying to tell anyone else what they should do with their lives. everybody's psyche is different in that sense.

philosophy has been a true Alice and Wonderland experience for me. i used to be very skeptical about all of it, keeping it at arm's reach, everything just kind of superficial, &c. more recently shit has gotten entirely too close & paranoid. but this too is a bad scene; this is to only be a hysteric & infinitely repeat oneself.

so i am a sort of true believer then in philosophy & analysis. therapy, in a way, if you can believe it. i do think the pieces connect & certainly the spice must flow also. what advice would i give to that data-entry guy? absolutely none.

it is a good thing to have a job, have a partner that loves you, do the right thing, eat your vegetables, all that boring stuff. it is. some people - like me - are so fucking stubborn & stupid that they have to have their faces rubbed in the alternative before they understood. well: message received. the night is indeed dark and full of spooks.

so unspooking is a good thing, that's what i'm saying. continental philosophy is a cynicism shredder. but once that shit is shredded, it's a good idea to go back to reality. which is what i am now going to be doing.

>what lessing coins as "free play of the imagination"

Also, what do you say to this, by William Blake?

>>5830586

Finnegans Wake, obviously. Some pomo stuff. Plenty of poetry. William Blake.
