Hey.

nihilism.
Your argument about philosophy is meaningless because philosophy is meaningless because the universe is meaningless.
Or, to put it more accurately, philosophy only has meaning within the context of society. Therefore, society defines it completely. It has no empirical meaning. Additionally, society is not a single entity. Your ...

interruptions asked: "For them, God does not exist; we, on the contrary, know that he is dead, for we watched him die. And we are his murderers." This hit home for me. I've felt a disconnect with a long time with atheists that don't share something like this experience. I find it really difficult to talk to them about anything having to do with the subject.
corvco asked: please forgive me if this is too personal a question. ian mentioned something in passing once about your having been involved in a magic(k)al group, which went sour. i'm wondering if you still practice solo, or if you've given up on it altogether. i'm currently dealing with a new layer of fallout from the dissolution--or maybe "breaking-open" is better--of a small group i...

In a way that only good academics can understand. They need to be spoken to in their own fumbled tongues. Do you think there is a way to do this?

insearchofwisdom:
Please, stop posting about how existentialists think the world is meaningless. This is an incredibly skewed understanding of existentialist theory and further perpetuates the false conception of it as a depressing and self-defeating movement. To quickly clarify: I cause the world to be in my contingency since the mere fact that I exist necessarily presupposes a world. This is...

Hey friends, Just wanted to give you all the heads up that I’ve had a work posted on the minor blog/magazine of major excellence COILHOUSE. I’m not sure if it’s CV worthy, but it should be a fun read for any of you that are interested in Erik Satie, Trent Reznor, minimalism, serialism, angst, or the indisputable hopelessness of the human condition. Yay! Cheers, Matt

Wow, someone remind me to start a book with this quote.
hollovv replied to your post: Your post reminded me that I actually don’t know much about LaVeyan satanism, so I pop over to wikipedia and read: “… influences from the rituals and ceremonies of occultist Aleister Crowley and the philosophies of Friedrich Nietzsche and Ayn Rand.” No good will come of this.
