“I never hung a picture for fear of hanging a bad one; I never lived for fear of living poorly.”

[phaeinos @phaeinos]

It’s actually all from Herakleitos.

[jules @enniottefire]

It's actually all from Spinoza

[phaeinos @phaeinos]

@JamesJouissance There is also a very fundamental difference: Nietzsche is a pure radical empiricist who denies the dichotomy of real/apparent. There is no ideal vs material, no self, no free will and no determinism.

@VitaeSpiraculum No premodern poetry was meant to be read alone. They were always meant to be sung or read out loud. Surprised that not many people are aware of this.

@incentivising It’s a cute delusion to think you can consciously change yourself and/or your environment.

@nousaturn Certainly but N. was very clear about all of those more than anyone else before him. That’s my point.

[phaeinos @phaeinos]

@nousaturn Look up who D&G cite in their book when they talk about acceleration, while you’re at it look up Zarathustra a theory-fiction book that is full of hyperstition, finally Nietzsche Contra Wagner for the music. Just go crazy, you’ll see.

There’s another one: systematizers who think categorizing puts them above the rest.

Men who read fall into 3 categories:

Extreme political radicals (both left and right)
Self-help slaves
Solely readers of shitty fiction and (((classics)))

@WeltgeistYT Looking forward to it!

[phaeinos @phaeinos]

@WeltgeistYT @wotancore What a coincidence. I’m currently reading this alongside Schopenhauer’s PhD dissertation. Truly a fascinating combo.

[phaeinos @phaeinos]

@WeltgeistYT Yes lot’s of people underestimate the literature N. demands of the reader.

[phaeinos @phaeinos]

What’s the difference between that and outsourcing it to someone else? The problem is the way publish or perish system works and all the expectations that come with it. If you can exploit the system then the system is faulty.

[Jennifer A. Frey @jennfrey]

Every academic press and journal needs a clear ban on AI writing.

[phaeinos @phaeinos]

I can't believe it. But the pope is right about this...

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Deep inner suffering inevitably arises when the human person is reduced to performance, consumption, or a statistical datum. Many young people today live under the yoke of expectations to perform, immersed in an exasperated competitiveness that generates anxiety, fear of not measuring up, and disorientation.

[phaeinos @phaeinos]

Another great example of ressentiment is the trope where the former commie turns to be a hardcore capitalist after being denied by the elites. They vow to burn the world. Rupert Murdoch was one of those.

[phaeinos @phaeinos]

@architecht0nics @ddmatta Nietzsche was spot on about ressentiment.

[phaeinos @phaeinos]

Oh boy…

[Linch @LinchZhang]

In my new post, I argue that the first papal encyclical *on* AI is also the first papal encyclical substantially *by* AI.

"...no one can be reduced to productivity, to cognitive performance or to mere data."

[Catholic Sat @CatholicSat]

Pope Leo XIV’s address in English at the publication of his Encyclical Letter Magnifica humanitas, on safeguarding the human person in the age of Artificial Intelligence.

Do listen to all of it. It is very good.

[phaeinos @phaeinos]

And so it begins... the Holy War against the machines.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together. In Jesus Christ, this humanity in its grandeur becomes the Way, the Truth and the Life, opening the path for each of us to grow toward fullness. #MagnificaHumanitas
