All that stuff was super boring

most of the bible is boring as fuck

My point is

thats the real crime

People of the OT

Are par exellence Pariahs

its not a satisfying read as far as spiritual texts go

And Dalit, is nothing else but a Pariah

The word Dalit itself was made to be a replacement

yarfy told me the word dalit means "those who are struck"

in the sense that brahmins used to be into blunt weapons, and they were required to hit dalits with them if they saw them

Just google it

Great people

@vigil#3835 OT is less boring, more intriguing and more engaging, and certainly, useful part of the Bible

But the whole Bible is certainly significant, since it is a valuable historical, religious and philosophical resource

The only testimony if you will, to certain things that would remain completely unknown otherwise

Certainly to great religious and social upheavals in Levantine region at the time, which are quite significant for contemporary men

No argument here

I binge read through some of the upanishads but the same point is hammered on and on and on and on

For any Hindu text, one must really make an effort to appropriae an ancient mindset

including ancient sensibilities towards religious texts, poetry, mystery, story telling etc

Ancient men could really immerse themselves into these things, while modern man needs something to keep the attention going

anyone who can actually pay attention over time, we call "high functioning autistic"

Actually, the Bible follows this path too

and try to psychiatrically intervene

yeah I mean if there isnt a chick twerking on the bed I sort of zone out

Repetitiveness is also quite present in all South Asian scriptures

Hindu, Buddhist etc

Even repetition of certain phrases

I believe I read that it had certain spiritual purposes

I appreciate the fact that you can read nietszche while taking a shit since everything he did was loosely connected paragraphs

just little points here and there

to chew on

while youre wiping your ass

Because that's how these texts were designed, to be a proper source, inspiration to the reader, not a collection of quantitative data that can be apprexnded solely from the perspective of usefulness

important off topic question: when writing music, is it best to start with melodies, then add harmonies, then make it chord progressions, or the reverse?

@vigil#3835 Nietzsche was quite peculiar in a way that he sometimes wrote well prepared and elaborated thoughts, and sometimes it seems like he simply wrote down passing thoughts, even half-baked ones, but wich are nevetheless a testimony to the lucidity of his thoughts and are hence valuable

He sometimes wrote as if he was drifting away with thoughts, not caring to "formalize" these thoughts

But then, he switches in another moment to completely straightforward, surgical way of writing

@Deleted User 57835c2c Industry follows the pattern of first choosing key, tempo, then adding rhythm, bass, and then the rest

I think he mostly put stuff together to get the reader to think
