“O my Will! Preserve from me all petty victories! That I may one day be ready and ripe for the great noontide. A bow eager for its arrow, an arrow eager for its star - a star, ready and ripe in its noontide, glowing, transpierced. Spare me for one great victory!”

— Zarathustra

[Jarvis Aeneas @JarvisAeneas]

An interesting aspect of Schopenhauer’s thought in general is his favour of the innate contra the abstract.

In epistemology he calls knowledge derived from reason (Vernunft) feminine, because the knowledge is conditional and mediated, and thus becomes more detached from reality, whereas direct knowledge (Anschauung) he views as masculine, because it is independent and unmediated, and gives a more real sense of the world.

“What is good? – All that heightens the feeling of power, the will to power, power itself in man.
What is bad? – All that proceeds from weakness.
What is happiness? – The feeling that power increases – that a resistance is overcome.”

— Friedrich Nietzsche, The Antichrist

Imagine how good it must feel to hurtle through the air and strike your prey at 390 km/h. A living missile. Death from above. It’s impossible not to be humbled by such singularity of purpose.

How are you anon? Do you make the most of each day? Do you feel the summer sun and the breeze on your skin? Are you really living?

Nietzsche was a FROG, he knew Slave Morality was attacking physical beauty and would result in the bugmen of today...

[Avelum @novusolus]

Intuition is like the dark matter of the standard cognitive model, that which cannot be simply reduced to empirical or rational sources, the sudden flashes of insight that come from nowhere and cause the great leaps forward between the blocks of ordinary thinking.

Schopenhauer:

"There are three aristocracies: 1) those of birth and rank, 2) the moneyed aristocracy, 3) the intellectual aristocracy. The latter is the noblest."

@secjayret Beer was an aphrodisiac. Puritans added hops to beer to deter people from drinking it. Now everything is triple IPA hazy bitter nonsense.
