Particular law ruling ‘rulers’, those who are successfully ruled by the universal law; firmness.
Together, these laws mean a firmness with respect to fortune and genius; to sacrifice much to increase the chances of their appearance.
Hitherto man had sought to set laws that were fixating. But “the world holds itself in being by its metamorphoses” - we must continuously let go of things so as to allow new things to come and sustain us. We are thus compelled to devise a way of anticipating the coming changes in such a way that they will sustain our efforts to attain our goals, rather than set them back. Hence the first rank of the principle of fortune; instead of defense against the forceful thrusts of being, our position is one of anticipation; when the storm come we meet it head on because we expect it to take us to where we need to be. Herein the meanings of genius and fortune appear united perhaps first for some readers. It is genius that begets fortune, and fortune begets genius’ fruits; splendid overflowing.
The goal of my table of laws is no less than splendid overflowing as a rule; Existing festivals are to be infused with new meaning, and new festivals must be devised; “evoking the gods” - applying will and love to the explication of values.
Such a future, like all cultural design, requires a firm commitment to the ruling principles. I will not formulate an explicit form of commitment but I strongly suggest to those that see merit in these laws to create their own way of af-firming the supremacy of genius and fortune in the rulings between fate and men. When it comes to influencing things that defy control, the spoken word is the first means; it is the mind adapting itself; in and output are being calibrated in terms of the same desired outcome. Other signals will be received, the being responds differently to ‘the world’ - it responds to a different future.
The philosophy has an aim to indoctrinate, but not to tame, nor enslave men, it rather trains them to unleash themselves in fertile ways. Who can deny that great bounty is among the meaning meaning of good life; not of life in general perhaps but certainly of the sort of life we enjoy; it is a lofty and realistic goal, and rather than satisfaction, which is a self-defeating purpose, overflowing is the kingdom in which ‘lady fortune’ and ‘lord genius’ are bound firmly in a self-affirming embrace - their children are the first men, the light-carriers - the moving beacons, advancing ahead of other life and expanding its horizons.
It may be good for some readers to digest some historical context to the creation of these laws as a political project, besides the pure philosophical ground that gave rise to the reckless courage to set such a project in motion, which may be interpreted by some lower gods and priests as hubris; the trail picks up here. The process of generation started in the summer of 2011, when the at that juncture unlimited-appearing powers of what I would call the completed Nietzschean-Dionysian worldview had dawned on me; when I understood the power of Apollo being born into reason; the existential optimism that is forged unwittingly in the open hearted confrontation with the tragic.
If the reader is looking for a catholic preaching extinction prophecies while claiming to have recreated reality in a desktop computer without being able to show it to anyone, follow James.
My ‘creation myth’ here is not quite as megalomanic as his - to understand what I mean with God one has to be a bit of a psychologist as welll as possessing a certain personal courage.
Despite what catholics believe, men create gods, not the other way around. A god is a tool. I have created a certain tool for a specific job. James thinks he has created the actual universe.
Catholic philosophy does not create gods, it enslaves oneself to the image of a dead God someone else created thousands of years ago.
Along with that slavery come some quite nasty psychological side-effects, one of which being a quite literal and “physical” inability to philosophize. Another is emotional disturbances as the conscious drives are invalidated and bound to pathologizing tendencies, otherwise known as “having a shitty personality”.
Under such systems manipulation, lies, evasions, sophistry and self-hatred become just the forms of life itself.
All true, and yet even that does not account for the insanity of thinking existence itself can be recreated from the ground up using an imaginary form of calculus. There is a lot more to worry about with this person. And so it is no less than encouraging that he should be the first to come and try to shit on this project; value ontology has always been a selecting device, and so must the consequent politics be; this future can only be carried by strong and supple shoulders, not by old bones rattling a dusty song about the apocalypse, for which they so painfully yearn…
But that is a bit harshly put. I don’t mean to insult and discourage people of age, many of which are still supple of mind and spirit. Let me rephrase: This future is willed into existence, not statistically anticipated and gloomily awaited.
Bullshit. My explanation of the universe is very much verifiable. But as with all science, it takes someone who at least has a degree of rationality (as you had for a while back before you over indulged).
And I have left your toy ontology alone (too easy to destroy). But when you claim to have created a god … well … that’s getting to be a little too ridiculous since you never seemed to have been able to grasp what a god is. I am seriously unconcerned about your little cult of worms.
I told you to keep making small videos until it was second hand. But I also told you to drop the philosophy bit until you got good at presentations (and from the beginning, learn how to define things). You shouldn’t have to be English or German to script good definitions.
But it’s your toy to play with (as I have maintained from the beginning).
Look, I have both of you guys on ignore, as all you do when engaging me is talk about me in some jealous or indignant fashion. Do feel at liberty to ignore me, since I am irrelevant to one and give bad vibes to the other. It’ll go better if we ignore each other. Please refrain from entering my threads in overt attempts to decrease their value.
That’s pretty easy actually. The KKK is a prime example, although no need to go to that extreme.
Having a cult is paramount to building a tree house. It’s just something one does as a child for play … before the real concerns of life land in your lap.
Aside from ignoring these two petty and empty handed guests, I can either try to make it even more evident than they already make it themselves that they are here in the capacity of parasites, or simply acknowledge the difference between their respective philosophies and my own.
Philosophy, like religion and politics and many other endeavors with a moral component, is a matter of the future to which we respond. James has been arguing for the inevitability of the extinction of man since I know him. It is a bleak future that follows from his premises. From value ontology, no future follows automatically; it is not artificial enough to push for one particular outcome; rather it allows man to realize himself as the standard from which a future may be born, if he is strong enough. A philosophy that creates conditions where only the tendency to cause overflowing survives, and all else perishes; this is hard even on me - but I am surviving it, passing the test I had set unwittingly for myself by creating this god; it did cost me a lot of effort and pain to expel my more narrow-egoed tendencies, but I believe that I have acted wisely and on the whole increased the power and happiness of a some good men in the process. Having thus overcome what was my greatest fear; that I was in fact not worthy of such a task as I took on, my ambition has become a bit ore bearable. Part of it has been realized, the thought has co-worked into some inexplicably profound insights in others, it has fulfilled t’s role as liberator in quite a number of occasions – short: it works. It seems though that one need to work at it to break into it. It involves a reconfiguring of the preconscious assumptionstructure, and I suspect that it involves a closer cooperation between the hemispheres than what I’ve come to call ‘flat logic’ - the fundamentally stunted “=” variety which always reproduces the same deviation from reality and obeys its consequences with the fatalism of a raindrop…
The guy has stated that he has created a “God”, which is in line with this OP (“Legislating/Dictating the Future”). I don’t think that we have gotten off that topic.
FC believes that he has created a God … and then calls ME a megalomaniac (and even a Catholic … haha). Other than moving this to the psych forum, it seems that everything is up to par with the topic.
