he seems very pleased with himself

it's Viggo

oh I finally know what UOC means

He's not pleased with himself, he's pleased with the downfall of Western civilization

it doesn't mean anything, I change the words around all the time

it used to be Un Orthodox Caveman

before that it was something dumber

what exactly

UOC = Uterine Obstacle Course

that's a good one

Ultimate Ostrich Catapult

Unlikeable Old Curmudgeon

That's no good, I'm into rare words now

Ulcerative Onager Chrysalis

Unilaterally Obstructed Colon

lol that's good

Uninfested Organic Cuntflaps

Undecided On Children

Underachieving On Caffeine

Understanding On Cocaine

Ungulate Obstreperous Camel

Check out this Wagner Libretto to the Ring Cycle 1+2 illustrated by Arthur Rackham

Wagner D:<

did you get a chance to read Seraphim Rose or the short story collections @UOC ?

nice pictures in this book

I read the Nihilism essay

I liked it broadly and thought a lot of the arguments and connections were well made although I don't think I share his religious presuppositions

really nice pictures

his reference to the dialectic was compelling though

Yeah, Rackham is top tier illustrator

cool, glad you got something out of it

I think Guenon is the most successful and complete writer in his descriptions of the current age

he doesn't have any equals

I haven't read Guenon yet but I keep meaning to.

but not everyone can appreciate what he says

I would read Reign of Quantity

I also thought Rose's whole discourse on "rebellion" as a war against God was compelling although again I would tend to see that from a more symbolic perspective since I'm not a christian

"Formal atheism is the philosophy of a fool (if we may so paraphrase the Psalmist);[30] but antitheism is a profounder malady."
