I hardly blame him as the cause, but he half assed the exposition of several feedback loops present in conjunction to the xNTJ feedback loop in the right hemisphere… we produced a century century plus of idiot savants only partially aware of the possibilities inherent in our natural range.
Take me, I’m a INTJ… if you reduce me down, dephilosophize me essentially from my insights and experiences, you’ll get one of the inventor salesmen from a soldier of fortune magazine in pocketed cargo pants, with the nifty new rifled carbine he designed, and even his new boots, and new adaptable armor design added to tanks or humvees, or repelling gear, or rubber special forces raft that could be shot up and not sunk. I could quote Clausewitz and Sun Tzu, or quote endlessly historical books on battles and war. I’d be prone to depression, and also flights of fancy, etc. Very high IQ marks.
At root, there is a type of INTJ out there who does this naturally. We don’t need to be taught it. I’ve encountered a few in their teenage years doing just that. Long distance runners to the last to boot. Its built into our DNA, neither race nor heredity seems to encourage or discourage where we pop up. Very sparse across society by default… you really can’t have too many of us in a given population… a few obviously give a tactical and technological boost to society, but too many, endless warfare, of a increasingly disturbing nature. You really don’t have any clue just how quickly my mind moves in this arena, or what I can build to kill you out of literally nothing. Its not nurture, its all nature.
But we are always more than this. We at a early age start gobbling up other aspects of the mind, treating the exploration and domination of the mind in much the same way we approach technology. There is a reason why we consistently are the most aggressively intelligent personality type out there. Our feedback loop lands in the SMAs of the mind, we often lateralize consciously very early on. Very young… no one, for example, had to teach Beethoven how to write a symphony. He learned it by organizing the data across several areas of the brain.
This can be a messy and erratic process at times as well. We can be a mess. The basic idea of INTJ/ENTJ fades away as our complex grows. When we hit depressions however, we climb back out via it. Take Steve Jobs comeback, he rebuilt his life via the iPhone. Got messy prior to it, died from messy beliefs after it.
I know better than anyone here, via primary texts, the western and eastern canon of warfare… the actual strategic works historically developed, as well as near modern. I follow international news on warfare very closely. I scoure Google maps on satellite, research history, scrutinize vehicles down to minutia, dive down to the deepest depths of psychology not just tactically, but also in intentions, awareness of motivations, just war theory parameters overlaid over behaviorism to see the cause and effect cycle, carefully examine the monoamine cascade in thought that causes triggers of impulse and inhibition, etc.
I find the Nietzschean… such as Sauwelios, conception of Wotan infantile and disturbing in the extreme. A lame ass pagan war god, that the Germans barely understood. Most of their campaigns against the Romans failed, they barely built a society past the Motte and Bailey, were alchohics to the last man, and got their ass whooped by every nomadic group pushing out of the steepe 3rd century on. It was always a weak concept steeped in ignorance and confusion, and lead to broken wars. Compare this to say, Zhuge Liang, the Chinese wargod… but a actual general and strategical theorist, he practically built Shu Han up from scratch after the main Han Dynasty collapsed… you see much more realistically what we are capable of, for better or worst. He had a awareness of mind, but he didn’t question the central tenant of his beliefs, or the righteousness of the Confucian imperial value system of following a righteous leader. Millions upon millions died, for literally nothing. None of the factions who fought in the wars of that period won, every dynasty lost.
There are other aspects inherent in ethics and our sense of self we never quite digested until late. Scattered awareness across time, but largely incongruent. We are not very good for society unless we can be all we can be.
In Nietzsche’s diseased case, his mortality loomed, and his mind was mucked. He confused delusions of grandure and serotonin highs as the metaphysical concept of power. He thought it resulted in health, survival, etc. He implanted his confused fears cultically over lesser thinkers. Most philosophers are INTPs… a much less aggressive and less intelligent personality type, yet largely compatible. They do a lot to modulate our more extreme aspects, being a middle of the road crowd. Petite bourgeoise written all over them, specialized trades, but never amount to much in and of themselves. Make good secretaries to INTJs. Watson to Sherlock. Most “philosophers” fall in this catrgory unfortunately, as philosophy is a safe specialized academic trade. Notice most “Nietzscheans” break this rule of Nietzsche to avoid and upend the academics? Its not ideological, its built into INTJs learning style. Were not a sluggardly group think personality. We can group lead as ENTJs, but its usually not worthwhile… as your leading a bunch of idiots when it comes to pure philosophy.
Nietzsche hardly invented war, but he picked a scapegoat, Christianity, as the epigenetic cause of his disease, and logically deduced if it is bad, everything opposed to it historically is good, and emphasized the late scatterings of his intellect and understandings upon this quest. It obviously backfired… even a bad xNTJ research, if sufficiently lateralized across the brain, activates enough triggers across the mind of a non-xNTJ thinker to come off as logical and complete, worthy of a ology slapped to it, look at Marxism for example. Its all over the place, takes a swamp of the brain to compute, but hard to interconnect all together, and whenever two people do so, it never comes out the same and they gotta kill each other off academically and socially, and sometimes factionally via military action. Same phenomena with Nietzscheans. A rather lopsided and incomplete theory.
So in Iraq, prior to knowing shit about Nietzsche… I’m already exposed to a rather absurd, shit headed war that has been going on like a festering wound upon the human race for over a thousand years, and was very well educated already in psychology and warfare. I paid attention, sucked a lot of it up. I declared myself dedicated to philosophy in that condition, and sought to understand it, to overcome it and move beyond it… these are the internal motivation that my type grows by, it is the most noble and purpose driven trait we have, to expand and understand ourselves and society at the same time.
I meet guess who shortly after getting back to the states? Cezar and Sauwelios… dragging the remains of a dead rotten corpse of a failed predecessor of mine behind their chariot of ignorance as if they were conquering heroes.
I hardly blame Nietzsche for being the cause, he isn’t the original cause, had he never existed we would still fight. I blame myself, as Sartre egotistically blamed himself, but unlike Sartre I’m much better positioned. I’m a far better historian, psychologist, and philosophy.
I blame the continuation of the cult of Nietzsche on the most backwards and unworthy of idiot followers playing with fragments of the mind broken from their main personality, never able to properly integrate or mature in their understandings. You don’t change your personality as in the hermetic golden dawn, taking chemicals for a fly bye freak effect. It takes months to naturally awaken aspects, to force a ripping and bewildering awareness of cognitive change, the growth and realization there is something more to ourselves. It has to be done carefully, fully, integrating. Not broken in ripped pagen totem attributes poorly able to integrate and cooperate outside of assumption and ritual.
They made a whole lot of shit about nothing. Every society that has sported xNTJ thinkers already have a literature for growth. A social renaissance was a chimera of effect mistaken for cause, the great men already existed. The effect in blood as a motivator is questionable at best, as the Medici expansion of knowledge was in peace as propaganda, not the direct act of war. If you want trinkets, oil paintings, well, I can give that to you. But the barbaric and assinine pursuit of late bronze age warfare, poorly understood and demented, limited to bad commentaries and pathetically restricted libraries, I can’t tolerate. The Nietzscheans advocate what is backwards, harmful and demeaning.
Notice I’ve never attacked them for their paganism, or emphasis on art. Stupid, but minor. I’ve hit him up plenty of times for plagerism, and shoody research. I’ve calmed down after reading his last work “My Sister and I” and better understood his integration of his pagan outlook to his family and sexuality. I don’t hold it against him.
What I do hold against him is a long line of Nietzschean who have as infants in thought, regressed their society to coups and retarded intrigue, made light of the acts of war, excused the brutality (Foucault excusing terrorism comes to mind as a means of expression, weigh this logic against his voluntarily and knowingly spreading AIDS in San Francisco to force the discovery of a cure).
It becomes sickening to me. Some if the people, severely deformed children in Iraq undoubtedly died. I see children here receive surgery or therapy and live. Were more careful of our bloodlines (Saudi Arabia is more aware of this inbreeding threat now, suffer heavily from accidental inbreeding, everyone gets genetic compatibility tests there now)… end result of Emperor Augustus’ marriage laws that Christianity adapted. We have safe water, they live in hovels and filth. For what? So some local shiekh can parallel Nietzsche’s teaching (parallel, not cause and effect here).
I’m glad to see the Nietzscheans lose their influence. I’ll trust in the dialectic that philosophers will slowly migrate away, each generation. But the threat of engulfing hell looms high, and in unexpected patterns.
Its only very late, after I did my research on the biographies of the major Nietzscheans did I notice those extreme paraphilia traits. My slow engulfing of ancient works from around the world gave exposed me to many of Nietzsche’s sources, like Lucian I noted above… Dea Syria. The cult of tranny priests and prostitute goddesses, sado-maschoism. I pushed it back farther in history, found the Babylonians originated it. Lies at the heart of Orphic Cosmogy. Exported to China, had a Hugh effect on the development of Vices and Virtues.
The ancient world had already confronted Nietzsche in the form of Sardanapullas and King Zhou. He was far more that the Borgias crowned Pope and Emperor, like a naughty Dionysian, but the next logical bacchean stepvof unleashed, wild and confused sexual energy, Hermaphroditus- one and the same as Dionysius
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermaphroditus
As the Nietzscheans are progressively stripped by the progress of philosophy to understand the emotions, the motivations of war, of thevroot causes of invention, they will be progressively turned away from Wotan, or water colors make you a heroic inventor, or slapping up a art mural in a poverty stricken neighborhood does diddly fucking squat to improve anyone’s lives. They are the most schizophrenic, scattered brain bunch out there, making far flung ludicrise connections. As the actual mechanisms are progressively understood, they will lose more and more ground.
The last logical refuge of the Nietzschean is in his historical transexuslism. To bow to priapus, and to eventually castrate it for its opposite, to become a obscene, living Linga Stone, a merger of opposites that vandalizes the body of its natural reproductive power, where the metaphysical belief of a will to power becomes neurotic sexual fetism, of the Sado-Masocist genre. An orgy without reproduction, of society in decline and limiting aims… where the highest aspirations of a artist is to castrate oneself and become a voyeur of life, exiled from it.
In purely Darwinian terms, is this sound? Wise? How does this benefit the species, to see people emulating the throws of thought long ago suppressed by ancient Confucian and Legalist scholars in China, by Stoic and Peripatetic philosophers in Alexandria and Rome? We had done away with it for good reason, large societies could not progress, the enlightenment of knowledge held check by it, defence weakened… the impulse to orgy and debauchery drew the starving masses in times of famine into a determined frenzy to squash out and suppress this. It is literally written in our history books. It is the cornerstone of our global civilization.
If these effects are to multiply… as the Nietzscheans continue to fade, but continue to influence, falling back retrograde to the sexual confusion before the end, we maybfind the final summa theologica of the Nietzscheans… in their fanatical desire to repress their growing feminization in themselves by persecuting it in others, accepting it, incorporating all their revolutionary idealism expressed from the 19th century till that period.
Guys like Phred the Fuckhead periphially influenced by random contemporary works, already considering a sex change, would be increasingly tipped towards it by the rationalizations of these final dionysians turned hermaphroditians.
How much of a generation or two can we loose? How many families will die off in a era when couples only have one child, and that child castrates themself? When even small rural small towns have this noticeable counter culture?
What is the role of a philosopher in the face of this, beyond cautionary warnings to confused youth high on the desired hermaphrodite overman?
These philosophers would be talking to the very face of death. What do you say to death, to a living, breathing death? Extinction? One torn asunder from survival and continuation? A parasite that doesn’t apparently contribute meaningfully. I hope a few would become doctors or nurses, cure a disease, a social worker… but realistically the vast majority won’t. Only take, and influence others to wound themselves. To molest the young as they are powerful… To do the things they’ve come to convince themselves they must do.
The Nietzscheans are a cautionary cancer, a lesson to be learned. But how do we incorporate these living, breathing avatars of death into the greater story of philosophy I don’t know. Emotions, existential awareness… it won’t matter as much. Such things are for survival. They are neutered house cats. You can love them as family, but don’t positively influence the survival of the bloodlines of stray cats. What happens to a indoor neutered cat isn’t much of a concern to a feral ally cat in the scope of its history.
I don’t wish to alienate or become cruel to such people, I’m a Christian, and its not very christian. We hadvto ostrichize Origen, one of our greatest philosophers, for this very act. Its something we refuse for our priesthood and monastics. It created a good tension of denying temptation. Created some positive feedback loops to our civilizations’ intellectual growth. Gave rise to the master monastic scholar, which gave rise to the university professor (a shadow of the former). A tranny has no real reason to live anymore. No tension. Only suicide or accidental death awaits them. Not many make it to old age, as wisdom creeps upon them, and they realize what that have done.
What is the role of a philosopher in this approaching age? In the twilight, and eventual complete passing of the Nietzscheans, failed philosophers to the last?
