@PAHoyeck Also, Nietzsche thought philosophers are most unwelcome in a declining culture, when the old faith is hollowed out but nothing new is built.

People don’t want to examine their leftover illusions — the incomplete nihilism of idolatry.

Rafinesque’s Ancient History, or Annals of Kentucky is now out in a new, modernized edition.

My introduction explores the Heraclitean current running through his work — flux, catastrophe and the regathering of form.

Sometimes people don’t want to hear the truth because they don’t want their illusions destroyed.

Ancient patterns are entraining with AI.

As robots ground these systems in the physical world, they enter the same resonant realm where our minds and oldest idols already move. 🤖✨

The universe rewards coherence as a counterbalance to entropy.

C.S. Rafinesque’s 1824 Ancient History, or Annals of Kentucky is soon back in print.

Fantastical on the surface — lost tribes, elephants along the Ohio — but underneath runs a vision of flux, catastrophe and the places that endure. New intro. Updates: https://t.co/JrALti40u6

Metaphysics

@NIETZSCHESOURCE The fight against yourself can either keep you trapped inside the ideal you’ve set up as your own overseer, or pressure you into a different relationship with yourself altogether.

[Rob Robill @RRobill42]

Principium individuationis: the nodal still point that holds amid the flux of a standing wave.

[Rob Robill @RRobill42]

Sensations, feelings, perceptions and the rest arise and vanish. What remains is the sense of a center, an owner, a continuity that persists while those contents change.

This is the subjective experience of the structure of the self: paṭiccasamuppāda. Because the relational pattern keeps returning in the same topological arrangement, it appears as though something endures through time.

[Rob Robill @RRobill42]

The “terrible” truth is Dionysian — the world as will to power, eternal becoming and creative-destructive flux — rather than the comforting Apollonian illusion of permanence.

[Rob Robill @RRobill42]

“My truth is terrible; for so far one has called lies truth.” — Nietzsche
