George Orwell wrote that the future was a boot stamping on a face forever. He was right, but not in the way that he guessed. He meant that the bad would triumph over the good. But, in fact, a boot will stamp on a face no matter what; no matter who wins. Every society feeds on pain. If a society does not explicitly set out to hurt the bad, then it will hurt the good.
worth a read
@diversity_is_racism summary of this bill

LOBOTOMIZE THE WEAK
DEPORT THE LEFTISTS, ETHNOSTATE NOW
Woman looks like a rightist pre-lobotomy, then like a lefty
THE LEFTIST ENDGAME: LOBOTOMIZE EVERYONE, THEN WE ARE ALL EQUALLY WEAK
Reading Plato
1. You are amused at the general nobility of Hellenic manners, the good natured spirits, the overal mental balance, sometimes chuckling at the immaturity of their social reflexes
2. On the other hand you cannot shake off the feeling that it is all a slow-paced geriatric drivel
Symposium is unbelievably geriatric in its sentimentality
The funniest thing is that when I grow old, I'll probably think how I was blind my whole life, when In fact I simply grew old and sentimental
Yes, even these Hindu geriatrics wrote on love with more potentiality, possibly because of better climate, well hello there mister biological reductionist
I DO NOT SEE IT AS GERIATRIC BUT MERELY SENTIMENTAL
THESE WERE MEN WHO BELIEVED IN QUALITATIVE GOODNESS
SOMETHING THAT IS LOST TO MOST OF US NOW
TO THEM, LIFE WAS PRECIOUS AND EASILY DAMAGED
EVEN BY IDEAS
Yes, but It kind of makes me uneasy to read the most acclaimed Philosophers and to see that they didnt really bother to hit the very center
I mean, I understand their point, and their good purposes
However, say about love, they didn't really go to the very end in unraveling that
It is all aimed at beauty *but from a decidedly geriatric perspective*
Define geriatric
I refuse to do that
I can't help but think that Zen's idea of beauty is more decisive, both infinite but also devoid of idiosyncrasies, if somewhat fatalistic, but certainly transcends Doric drunkenness with soft feelings
Rome on the other hand ❤
THESE ARE NOT SOFT FEELINGS
THEY ARE THE HARDEST THAT EXIST
A FORM OF LOVE FOR THE INTANGIBLE
ZEN CAN BE INFLUENTIAL BUT I FIND IT ULTIMATELY A FIXATION ON SOME BASIC IDEAS
Hmmm, I don't think Zen is fixed on any single idea, in fact, Zen contains absolutely no ideas at all
I was more thinking on the translation of Zen spirit into the ethical and aesthetic, that is to my comprehension more mature
