Todo pasa por más y mejor vitalidad, y un entorno coherente con pasiones vitalizantes.
El excel, la rat race, el cálculo, el gusanismo ontológico oficinista andrógino, es profundamente antierótico. Antivida.
Eros, vida, son producto de la diferenciación, no la planicie estéril.
Dentro de Venezuela hay que vencer al ethos chavistoide de la mediocridad, la indisciplina, la falta de horizontes, el conformismo y la espera de soluciones mágicas sin esfuerzo.
Ese que dilapidó la renta petrolera, dio a Chávez poder, y ahora quiere renunciar a la nación misma.
The Difference in Wavelength between 440 Hz and 432 Hz Notes
Water is the most efficient medium for transmitting sound, and the adult human body is composed of approximately 60% water.
Consequently, humanity is powerfully influenced by sound waves and vibrations.
The control of humanity through music by "them" has been ongoing for a very long time.
I hope that more people will seek out and listen to good sounds (music).
“The conservative cause has been polluted by the ideology of big business, by the global ambitions of the multinational companies, and by the ascendancy of economics in the thinking of modern politicians.”
Sir Roger Scruton
"Compreender Hegel" é a maneira errada de lê-lo, e ele deixa isso claro logo no prefácio. O autêntico hegelianismo é justamente a alquimia mental do solve et coagula que aprisiona o intelecto. "Compreender Hegel" equivale a deixar a água turva repousar (atitude que o próprio filósofo desdenharia) o suficiente para notar que há bem menos profundidade ali do que se supunha. Hegel só goza de tamanha estima justamente por ser tão pouco compreendido. Sua contribuição notável, isto é, a compreensão dialética das unidades instáveis, poderia ter sido redigida de forma muito mais direta, mas isso anularia justamente o efeito pretendido: a transposição paralógica de certas tradições herméticas. Ele verte brilhantemente um processo alquímico em puro texto discursivo com uma eficácia que, acredito, não tem paralelo na história. O hegeliano convicto encontra-se irremediavelmente hipnotizado; as supostas "epifanias" são a reação minuciosamente arquitetada e infligida ao neófito pelo movimento de dissolução e coagulação do sistema.
Fidel Castro was a complete failure at everything except destroying Cuba and impoverishing, jailing and murdering his own people
I strongly suggest that anyone tempted to try and follow his example should carefully reconsider, because if they do they would be dooming themselves to failure as well
"The highest point at which human life and art meet is in the ordinary. To look down on the ordinary is to despise what you can't have. Show me a man who fears being ordinary, and I'll show you a man who is not yet a man."
- Mishima
Living standards in America should have risen 10 times over since 1950. Think of the technology then vs now. Instead our elite made every American worker compete with 8 billion third-worlders by offshoring all manufacturing to China, outsourcing all IT to India, and importing the entire population of South and Central America. And so big surprise: The rest of the world saw their living standards rise 1000% while yours went down. All so that the richest 1% of Americans from the richest generation in history could die just a little richer before it all comes crashing down and communists kill their grandkids.
In Hegel, philosophy had, in a sense, "completed" its task: it had brought humanity's historical experience to self-consciousness. For Marx, however, this consciousness had to be transformed into practical activity. Although humanity had become conscious of its historical vocation, it had yet to realise it, since the existing world contradicted the meaning philosophy had disclosed. Marx's project was therefore to determine the conditions under which Hegel's philosophy could be actualised in both thought and practice - that is, how consciousness could become an active force and reality be brought into union with reason.
For Schmitt, Hegel was simultaneously a philosopher, sociologist, and political theorist. In Hegel, Schmitt found the intellectual foundation for his critique of the liberal-individualist reduction of the political to a neutral framework whose sole function is to safeguard abstract rights. As an immanent thinker, Hegel anticipated what Schmitt would later call concrete order thinking. In On the Three Types of Juristic Thought, Schmitt distinguishes between normativism (e.g. Kelsen), decisionism (his own earlier position), and concrete order thinking, which reformulates Hegel's organic conception of society and the state. Schmitt's post-1933 turn towards an organic understanding of political order is therefore indebted to Hegel. It is within this Hegelian framework that Schmitt grounds his later critique of legal positivism and abstract natural rights. Neither the state nor society can be judged according to ideal, timeless, and therefore ahistorical norms. For Schmitt, as for Hegel, reason can only be realised concretely and therefore historically. Political institutions and social practices must therefore be understood from within the concrete historical constellation in which they arise, rather than measured against abstract truths that stand outside lived historical reality.
Mishima, just like Adorno, is right about this. The bourgeois really *consume* an opera and act like it replenished them. And while they think of this as a class identifier, they absorb it like the lower classes would do with a Netflix show. No reflection, no inspiration.
"I do not, fortunately, have the bourgeois habit of passively enjoying beauty as a kind of nourishment for the mind. Bourgeois types like to follow a typically mammalian procedure in everything: ingestion, mastication, digestion, elimination."
Mishima Yukio
Creo que en buena medida el fracaso de Venezuela como nación se deriva de eso que Ortega y Gasset calificó como “la ausencia de los mejores”.
Élites egoístas, perezosas, desconectadas y sin autoridad moral. Impera criterio de masas empobrecidas y sin rumbo.
how to stop fawning so you don’t get an autoimmune disease:
- pause before answering. say “let me think about that” instead of an automatic yes
- build interoceptive awareness. since fawning overrides your own signals, practice internal check-ins to help you locate your own stance before defaulting to someone else’s
- practice with small boundaries first in low-risk situations to build tolerance for the discomfort that follows disagreement
- recognize that another grown adult’s feelings are never an emergency
- resist the urge to apologize when you’ve done nothing wrong
stop emotionally caretaking grown adults and your health will thrive.

Meditation: attention on your breath.
Manifestation: attention on your thoughts.
Depression: attention on your past.
Anxiety: attention on your future.
Same tool. Different direction.
Nietzsche’s Übermensch is the type approximated by Goethe: the higher man who masters himself, orders the chaos of his passions, gives style to his character, and makes of himself a work of art. He has looked upon life’s terrors and still says Yes. He is the future incarnate.
