Don’t immanentize the Eschaton!

It’s a bad idea.

Creepy Weirdos™ don’t listen to good advice.

Things I'm really enjoying lately:

- going on early morning walks, per recommendation of Arthur C. Brooks book

- journaling, doodling, practicing longhand on my reMarkable pad (thanks @aeva)

- taking work notes, writing stories, studying longevity etc. in Obsidian with syncthing (free backup and so I can own my own data)

- meeting weekly with my good friend @adam and having fun conversations about philosophy and mutual support

Tears, gnashing of teeth, and anger is what they are trying to provoke.

Emotionally-stunted fnckwits cannot understand a world in which every human interaction is not a transaction.

“All the major philosophical schools in antiquity regarded #eudaimonia as the highest good, often even the very aim and purpose of philosophy, although the various schools, such as the Cynics, the Stoics, and the Epicureans, may have conceived of it in somewhat different terms.”

An excellent article in the Atlantic:

>>>
There should be at least two periods of life when people have a chance to take a sabbatical from the meritocracy and live by an alternative logic—the logic of service: You have to give to receive. You have to lose yourself in a common cause to find yourself. The deepest human relationships are gift relationships, based on mutual care. (An obvious model for at least some aspects of this is the culture of the U.S. military, which similarly emphasizes honor, service, selflessness, and character in support of a purpose greater than oneself, throwing together Americans of different ages and backgrounds who forge strong social bonds.)Those sabbaticals could happen at the end of the school years and at the end of the working years. National service programs could bring younger and older people together to work to address community needs.

“Yo, Hiparquía, no seguí las costumbres del sexo femenino, sino que con corazón varonil seguí a los fuertes perros. No me gustó el manto sujeto con la fíbula, ni el pie calzado y mi cinta se olvidó del perfume. Voy descalza, con un bastón, un vestido me cubre los miembros y tengo la dura tierra en vez de un lecho. Soy dueña de mi vida para saber tanto y más que las ménades para cazar”.

"En la Historia, las aguas estancadas, sean las de la costumbre o las del despotismo, no toleran la vida; La vida depende de la agitación que realizan unos pocos individuos excéntricos.
En homenaje a esa vida, a esa vitalidad, la comunidad debe aceptar ciertos riesgos, debe admitir una porción de herejía.
Debe vivir peligrosamente si es que quiere vivir."
-Herbert Read

"Ojalá te esté golpeando fuerte el viento en la cara, ojalá te estés bañando en salvajes corrientes de agua helada. Que sientas intensa cada brisa, cada ruido, cada instante.
Que corras por los bosques y trepes a los árboles. Hoy eres cuervo surcando el aire, fiera pantera acechando en la selva. Cuerpo y alma en libertad, dañando, minando su control y su poder.
Ninguna reja ni valla te separen del mar, del abismo, de la nada. Que te alejes de la dictadura del tiempo y de la dominación de los bastardos. Que sea la luna tu compañera, quien te alumbre y te guíe a cualquiera de tus nortes".

@fzzlkfly @philosophy two I believe that happiness should not be confused with an emotion, or even a "consumable" state of mind. As a young man I was taught that "happiness" might as well be an active state of balance - this idea has served me well. #eudaimonia
