I am the baddest and addict to magic
smoke it like badger
glad Im a natural classic or would a turned an assassin
put motherfuckers in caskets
last man standing after disaster
mimicry is of my inner me I am not innocent
I am a bystander to the apocalypse, heart to the genesis

I am the shaman of drama Im amen
donning the garments of Lamed
hanging down from a tree embalmed like the mummy of Akhneten
my mind it is flawless it runs like a marathon
marching like Farakhan
of all the qualities under the sun I am paragon
empirical miracle me
in speech Im a Biblical cynic, in silence im pivotal
in killing im serial, feral, in spirit Im pinnacle
i am earth i give birth from the dirt i surge and resurge as i worship the Birch
this was an excellent post Prom

> contrary to what all the post-modernist critiques are telling you, there is far less nihilism today than ever before, because there is a much greater circulation and dissemination of values and meanings than every before. and it matters not the ‘accuracy’ of values and meanings regarding their correspondance to ‘objective reality’, because the question here is not ‘what is the truth’, but ‘what is valuable and meaningful to you.’ objectivist’s love to lay claim to some ‘true’ understanding of what reality is, and then call anyone in disagreement, a nihilist. and yet therein lies the irony; epistemological nihilism champions such things as the uselessness of objective, scientific knowledge in providing reason for valuing. the ‘naturalistic fallacy’ is one such example. the question isn’t ‘what is true’, but ‘why ought i do x because this is true.’ unless objective knowledge can produce an existential foundation for purposefulness, it amounts only to indifferent truth. here, the nihilist, by recognizing this, is actually the non-nihilist, and everyone else who denies these existential philosophical circumstances becomes the nihilist… those who profess to know what is ‘right’ and ‘wrong’, ‘natural and unnatural’… as they like to say ‘more in line with nature, etc.’ what a fantastic reversal!
>
> the general tenents of nihilism - that ultra-skepticism - produce the only truly honest epistemological position a philosopher can take, and in doing so casts the burden on the philosopher to create values. now given the fact that social complexity has reached unprecedented proportions in the modern world, there are far more forms and kinds of valuing taking place than ever before… so the world is anything but exempt of value and meaning. again, the question isn’t about the veracity of the correspondance of value and meaning to ‘truth’, but the persistence in the having and holding values, in creating multi-faceted meanings through the available sources, whatever they be.
>
> any narrative that purports to diagnose nihilism in a negative light, is, by virtue of its gross confusion pertaining to what nihilism means, coming from a true nihilistic perspective. this reversal is difficult to understand and i’m not too interested in elaborating on it much further at the moment. i shall therefore call this intellectual disturbance a ‘pseudo-nihilism’ and class all philosophers mounting an attack on such imaginary chimera according to this typology.
>
> hereafter, anyone who shouts ‘nihilist!’ is a nihilist. which means; clueless. afraid. still doesn’t get it. still pretends.
>
> as W once said of the battle between the idealist and the realist; it isn’t a matter of who has possession of the truth, but rather the indicative mood of the battle cry. the pseudo-nihilist cries ‘without these values, you’re a nihilist’, while the nihilist cries ‘if you still believe in ‘proper’ values with imperative meaning, you’re a pseudo-nihilist.’
>
> do you understand the profound difference between hypothetical and imperative valuing in a nature that is non-teleological? does the fact that nature has no purpose and is changing such that what is once valued is eventually cast away, frighten you? can you handle sudden upheavals in culture, society, economics and politics? does it bother you that the future of man is not in danger, that everything you hold sacred and call ‘normal’ is already becoming history? a massive autopoiesis is underway, and you are little more than a fossilized anachronism.

> imma a anarcho-nihilistic futuristic historical materialist, and i report the facts at the speed of light. slower traffic keep right.

The gym I paid ten bucks a munt to use had to close down when the mandates went into effect… and yet members received a recurring bill were automatically charged the monthly fee unless they manually unsubscribed and cancelled their membership.
They do this little underhanded shit because they can, and because of people like me… who are too lazy to cancel the membership and keep paying… they make money.
I dont know who is worse, idiots like me who fall for it, or idiots who try to make a buck off of idiots who fall for it.
