In Japan there is a phrase, shoshin, which means “beginners mind”.* This is the state of openness and that our spirit ought to have. Watts explains this in his book.

[The Anti-Simulation @theantisim]

Faith, on the other hand, has no preconceptions. It is an openness to the world

[The Anti-Simulation @theantisim]

Belief is an insistence of truth. The believing mind is open to a new idea but opens himself to be vulnerable to having a mind that is preconceived to the belief and nothing else. If it doesn’t fit what was there before it cannot be allowed to stay.

[The Anti-Simulation @theantisim]

We attempt to give our lives purpose and belief, and we are rewarded with hopelessness and expanding anxiety about our future.

[The Anti-Simulation @theantisim]

We want our lives to make sense. Especially as men, we want a completeness, a fullness, to our daily existence. Yet this is a myth that evades us the more we seek it.

"Moral universalism is a philosophy for men who have surrendered. They have surrendered their land, their history, their women, their dignity and their identity. They’ve become impotent half-men who deserve to be victims and slaves." -@ph2t3r

Jack Donovan talks about the incompatibility of moral universalism with duty of being a modern Barbarian. https://t.co/5RxqNiz0Ws

You are the Royal King, on ur horse trotting out from your kingdom, tossing out farthings and sterlings endlessly and generously. Free for u to give away and free for those townsfolk around u to pick up. (A compliment and a smile is freely given and declined too But gotta start

What you are wanting from the world is what you are withholding.

[The Anti-Simulation @theantisim]

My own personal question of accountability, which I ask myself everyday: Who am I to not tell a girl she is beautiful to me in a certain way, in a specific light?

Why haven’t you made someone happy and cheery today?

Well… Why not?
