sometimes, aiming for ‘clarity’ means that you have to simplify your writings so that they are more easily accessible and understandable for your audience.
As for the writing of Nietzsche’s Zarathustra, this meant taking up the task of writing in a narrative, symbolic, and poetic manner.
As for your aphorisms, it seems that your writings are designed for an audience that does not exist - you seem to wish for a readership who will handle your thoughts with the utmost care; an audience that is awed by your words and treats them as a delicacy.
However, it seems that you have put your aphorisms on this forum while being fully aware of the fact that we will criticize them as being overly-complex and complicated at an unnecessary level.
When you translate the Latin and revert your sentence structure to something less rhetorical, it is no more complex than a children’s book. Therefore, I must dismiss you, like Sauwelios did, as an imposter.
The point to my first post is the following one. From the initial experience of love- one in which all things are strictly interpreted on the basis of whether or not their sacrifice would bring eros closer to his object, the beautiful… from this initial experience springs up an unaquit passion (once the ultimate limit of the beautiful is discerned, with eros’s self-sacrifice in the name of beauty) that is nonetheless not registeed as pain- for it does not bear the usual salt for the old would of solitude- a wound in which formerly all pains were interpreted by the lover as healing salts, ie. eros himself is abnegated, who by this time has becoming nothing more than a vestigial organ perceptible of mere pain.
so used to imitating, you are, that you asume everything is a quote.
Then post it to yourself.
Is this kind of language allowed in a place dedicated to civil discourse, as this forum pretends to be?
No moderators now.
I do believe I’ve touched a nerve, somewhere deep inside your rectum.
Is that a critique of your own “art”?
See, that wasn’t so difficult now was it, retard.
Perhaps abnegating the eros of narcissus that echos in your projections, is a good start.
Am I a Nietzschean?
Let me display:
Absent are the lyre’s of pan strumming across the water’s of Lethe, still the boatman stretches his chiseled arms, like bows, singing in a silent voice:
"Ο καθε μαλακας ερχετε εδω να παριστανει τον σοφο…μα ειναι παντα μαλακας. "
Goat men rush to the silent sound, wanting to see what the fuss is all about, and find one more wretched dying manchild wanting to be what this age denies him the right to be.
A sure sing of a fool, is his inabiltiy to adapt to circumstances and to his audience, if a performer he fancies himself to be, or cannot adapt to the others.
You’ve obviously mistake this place for a place of thinking.
that was your first mistake.
My ideas, fool, are reserve for the places and the people that can appreciate them.
This is a place for fun and happy hunting.
A protected park.
Koros and Sauwelios, you have already proven yourself to be deadbrains. Sauwelios if I needed yet ANOTHER interpretation of Nietzsche, there are about 500 very in depth ones on the internet. I didn’t come to this forum to get one from the likes of you. I came for original thinkers, and none of you live up to that mark. So go ahead, say something else. ‘Unmask’ me, call me ‘nonsense,’ whatever you need to do to convince yourself that the last philosopher died over a hundred years ago.
I haven’t left my house in years. I have no friends. I know no love. Every hour is spent in anxiety or physical pain. The only thing I have are my thoughts. Thinking to you people is of second order importance: thinking for me is the only thing holding me back from death, it is not only my Veil of Maya but my Well of Egeria, my muse, my Moira, and my sphinx. If you really think anything you have to say, any of your inane criticisms (psychologically fueled I might add) are going to have an impact upon me even over death… than I have to tell you, that silence can be quite golden. I came here to share my joy: that means thought, it doesn’t mean Nietzsche, and it doesn’t mean rationalization… which is what I accuse you of. You see me doing something which requires a supra-abundance of strength in our age: philosophy- and to find a way to dismiss it you rationalize it as a masturbation, an exercise in scholasticism, fraud, parroting, or simply nonsense. But I can explain it, and I did explain it: and how can it be a fraud, when I have nothing to sell- when, in psychological language, I have no need to satisfy (owing to my solitary nature) and consequently no gratification to be had? How could mere masturbation and scholarly pedanticism hold me away from death, how could it keep me alive?
If you think that even remotely resembles my writing, then I know just how much of an idiot you are, so thank you. And the name Yossarian is familiar. You from freenode? If I have talked to you on IRC it is likely I offended you, so I at least know where you are coming from.
Even if you don’t like what another poster is saying, please refrain from any ad homs as it just deteriorates a thread which leads to the need to lock it, so please keep the debate going but without the personal slurs - thanks!
You sell yourself, dear fellow.
You flaunt it like a two-bit whore…Magsi seems to selectively apply her moderation, as per usual, so who the fuck cares about her warnings or about her forum’s bullshit civility rules?
It’s all meant to protect the simpletons she considers up to her level, anyways.
I am deeply rational, and thanks for the compliment, I consider your brand of emotive prostitution highly entertaining, like a belly-dancer writhing and showing us the one hole she can, suggesting the other one.
Was I trying to imitate your drab feminine gyrating semantics or exposing your methods and how easy it is to pretending to say something deep when you say something simple that should be expressed simply?
You have insulted me twice, and received nothing but a slap on the wrist, after I exposed the duplicity of what passes as objective moderation on this forum, I will have to reciprocate, expressing how deeply I’ve been affected, with this:
