Please, resist the temptation of crowds and generalities. What's good is unique; my good ideas are unique and alive and mine, they fit my unique and lively I.

Happiness

is a sense of pride in our ability to make decisions; It is a gained confidence in our choices’ ability to change the world and ourselves according to our desires. It is essentially the result of major achievements and values that demonstrate and promote our ability..

As with any adventures, it's rare to predict where any of it will go. As with any adventures, determinate Will rarely beats the flow and wind; it's best to enjoy being carried by the wind. It's hard to say that I developed the best parts of me, rather, I've let them be discovered

[Cissonius @Yuugure_Made]

Sometimes I start writing and I forget where I'm going; sometimes I intend something small and end up with big, sometimes the inverse; sometimes I intend big but end up with a different big thing saying something I discovered on the way.

Point is, writing takes you on trips.

I think I've gotten more race realist, in a felt sense, whereas before it was only based on a theoretical understandin of genes, since growing into my 20s and feeling for myself how much I was "designed", how much I resemble my parents, and how much this was true since childhood.

@sivori or chaotic and complex. Beauty fits good because good leads to what beauty is comprised of (order, understanding, harmony), and the bad leads what ugly is comprised of (chaos, dull things).

[Cissonius @Yuugure_Made]

@sivori So, in relation to ethics, to good and bad, and in art for instance, we often find it fitting if the good is beautiful and the bad ugly, I think that's because the good promotes life and life has this structure that leads to beauty, but bad promotes death, which is usually dull..

@owlshapedheart All the supplements can make you go faster, but eating well is more than enough. Obsessive protein tracking, calorie counting, gym routine management need not be a constant thing, once you get into habits there is nothing to manage, you just eat and lift and cruise life.

@synsk66 @oecolamp You're riffing on the "war makes you stronger" idea without making it clear. Conflict makes you stronger only if you find equal opponents, worthy battles, circles of elites. "Chaos" makes it hard and not worth your time to try and find good peers. currtly X is flooded w mid posts

@SonOfAnchis3s the resource important to incorporate into's life to beat that melancholy of thought. quote from Schiller, in his letters

[Cissonius @Yuugure_Made]

@SonOfAnchis3s Finding this balance between material and ideal is actually a matter of aesthetic, making art is binding life and thought, having good thoughts on a walk is also an aesthetic activity which binds both realm. I find that it is this idea of an aesthetic life that is ...

This essay changed my life in ways I didn’t expect it to. When I wrote it, it was a diagnosis of myself — a warning that I couldn’t quite heed or internalize, a path I saw myself going down but couldn’t avoid.

Nevertheless, I was compelled to write it. Immediately after completing it, I felt no relief, no satisfaction, no general change in internal state.

In the weeks following, however, it started acting on me. I found myself staring down the barrel of a future every single day that I didn’t want, and through daily confrontation with this foe, I was eventually able to, from the bottom of my heart and with the fullness of my breath, categorically refuse the melancholic man’s fate.

As long as this future, this path, remained nebulous, undefined, ephemeral, it had a grip on me. It maintained a hold I couldn’t undo because I couldn’t apprehend or decipher the source of the fingers clasped around my throat. Through the words in this essay, through this diagnosis, through following my impulses and habits and actions to their logical end, I was able to lure the culprit out of the shadows. The thing that haunted me from the abyss lost its power; thanks to the light of these words, illuminating the angles of his figure, I was able to engage him in combat and defeat him — his ideas of the world, the course of his life, his fate.

What writing this essay did to me and my life was akin to that viral tweet about radically embracing life as opposed to suicide. I knew I had to write it, but I didn’t know why, and only when deeply on the other side can I see what it did for me. I am not the same man who wrote it, nor am I the man who published it, nor am I the man I was a week or two afterward. For probably the first time in my life, I feel that everything is going to be okay.

I write as a life-raft for myself and others. More often than not, I fail to float on my words. These, however, gave me solace and shelter in the unflinching sea. Every essay can falter and fail; it only takes one to make the entire endeavor worthwhile. You don’t need to be right every time, you don’t need to touch the soul every time — touch it once, correctly, and your work is done before you’ve even noticed that it began.

>Blabla you're just an egoist
Christian fatigue
universal morality, universal justice, public goods, the public good: all lies that derank individuals to the level of cogs, so much for thy free will "nooo, stop making choices, stop believing in yourself, stop valuing yourself"

[Brother Lunk @Antweegonus]

Being pro-life has ironically made me significantly more misanthropic because it means being constantly confronted with the average modern person’s bottomless selfishness, their default posture of narcissistic navel-gazing, their pathetic cowardice when faced with any hardship, their clueless solipsism that is the source of their puerile, vapid, counterfeit notions of happiness and fulfillment.

By nature you are ordered toward the other, yet you live only for yourself. Your life was a free and gratuitous gift, yet you hoard it like a miser. Maybe no one ever told you: you are not that interesting!

Democracies, lack of freedom, heavy interdependence, turn preferences into duty, love into morality. "I prefer my race" becomes ethnonationalism, "I prefer charity" becomes you ought to pay taxes etc

Since actions are bound, people argue of what's right instead of what they love
