no i know - but i thought people might think that because you're pitching it against mark fisher's acid communism - which was something he advocated. just clearing it up for the simple people 🤣

yes, no question - Nietzsche definitely believed in God! the very idea of disobeying God presumes he exists. the act of saying "God is dead" (not sure if Fred ever said that in fact?) assumes that once he was alive... I think the best way of looking it at was that Nietzsche wanted to "ghost"...

i am aware of my own privilege. i'm not a particularly wicked person, but it's plain to me in global terms i'm a greedy pig. and inordinately lucky to be born rich in the west. even to be born poor in the west would be blessing. i am completely in agreement that this is an unconscious issue...

not if one thinks of oneself as part of nature, no. but still an illuminating and fun thought.

the tricky thing is trying to work out what the hell it (lets call it "nature") wants one to do the only way is using oneself as a barometer and checking the feedback. sometimes one thinks one's making progress heading in certain directions - and one has to double back. or change direction...

i asked max if he owned this piece of land (didn't like to think of him being turfed off after all his work here) and was surprised to get a message

i was referring to the state propagandising wellness - but it's very true to move to the assumption that something lies beyond that doing the same... funny as well... it's definitely some higher order of instruction - no doubt about it. this is Nietzsche's shtick in its very essence. disobey...

i'll check it out thanks john. i like nature a lot - but coming round to the idea that living in cities is the way to go (just as bloody well innit)

that's true, i'm sure. but that you chose that particular expression is significant. conspiracy theories presuppose that there is some conscious organisation behind these currents. but everyone is the subject of forces beyond their control. some have the good fortune, like us in the modern west...

and finally this one. this guy i like a lot and he does a great debunk of the whole off-grid fetish which got me to think about all the BAD things living off-grid represents - the pretense that we can live in isolation from one another (would imagine all these billionaires who buy houses in...

not keen on this so much. not my poison.

A bit of an update on this thread: absolutely love this guys channel

was just writing a considered response 🧐

it seems like as far as "the state" is concerned there is a sweet spot of wellness - whereby the individual doesn't clog up the smooth workings of capitalism. and the fact is that most people (massive generalisation) don't quite fulfill that criteria... so, frustratingly, that's like a very...

you need to have a quiet word with her oliver

the vedic strategy/concept of the successive activation of the chakras - from root to crown - is a set of techniques for dismantling the genital sexual impulse and folding it into the state of what Freud called the polymorphous perverse. the yogis won't generally mention the sexual aspect...

yes. very expensive.

it's a learned response im sure. an acquired language. if you played any music to an infant they wouldn't "get" it. but that's not to say that some "languages" (ie musics) are not better-constucted or more capable of the articulation of concepts than other.

dadrock? more like grandad rock! an old thread i understand... given this a long hard look in the mirror. i think we need to break it down: 1) to agree on on aspects of sound that are "psychedelic" lets put this into categories: a) repetitive drumming b) reverb and other physically...
