Captain’s Log: Stardate 10.23.06.1596
I found this audio book on Nietzsche available to download for free. While I found it amusing at first considering it is Heston who’s narrating this, it’s not half-bad. If you’ve got over two and three-quarter hours to kill, it’s something interesting to listen to.
I’d like to thank détrop for the idea of prompting the “captain’s log: stardate” bullshit… it’s so amusing…
And, and, and???
The media is… amusing?
And, and, and???
What if a book was simply an unneccessary intermediate to infinite truth which is in plain sight and always existing?
How could my consciousness be stuffed in such a small box?
I think it was for sale, with a tag on the outside…
Who could have ever put on me such a thing…

It is actually… see? The Phelps are so fucked up, it’s funny.
And this too… This fattie looks like Palpatine’s ex… wow… talk about bashing pagans… (now I have to make a separate thread on this)
The Book of Dan is not unnecessary.
How could it not?
I would know, I bought it last summer… the neighborhood kids were jumping around it and shouting some really strange words like Cthulu.
I could. Who else? Thirst?? Not likely.
What to say, what to say…
If all thought, and all reason, and all feeling, and all sensation – are actually forms of engineering, and mechanics, then the sooner one respects life and reality, and the sooner one views all things as a sort of mechanical process, the better.
If consciousness only exists between a set of mirrors and records, from the aethers, to the substances, to the bodies, to the self awareness, constantly bouncing back inside of itself to all levels in some degrees, I too will consider this layer of reflection to be a sort of capacitor, storing for a short, sweet while, that essence of “I am.” Which the universe has not yet said in thunder and complete enlightenment.
Unlike most beings, I do not really wish to teach or express. Instead, like a baby bird in its nest, I want to fly out of language and human thought. As the Somarasifians see it, inferiority is a form of youngness, unconsciousness and limited freedom. I will gladly choose this viewpoint, though my comprehension of their thoughts is so limited, because I know all-too-well the simial thought; and it does not feel harmonious to ever think that inferior things should either cause or receive any mode of destruction, unless the case may be a serious emergency of interests and futures.
My unconsciousness is a serious emergency, and my mortality is a ticking time-bomb of inability.
When I even come close to expressing anything in word, it feels like a spiritual slap in the face.
My finer moments were not in this realm.

You need not to have said anything Dan, for your finer moments have been seen elsewhere.
Those audio tapes need some editing, and some new or no music at all. Hmmm… curious… Who would you rather hear to narrate the life, works, and philosophical ideas of Nietzsche other than Heston??
The audio was fine.
Heston was cool.
