"We shouldn’t watch. Watching is some kind of voyeuristic, sadomasochistic peculiarity that we are permitting ourselves because we think there are too many of us to do. But I don’t think this is true. I think watching is an incredibly disempowering thing. Millions of people live half-awake larval lives watching 6.5 hours of TV a day. And as long as they stay in their homes—you know, shopping by phone and fax—everybody is happy. But they participate not at all in the society. They’re the Marks, and they consume." VERTIGO AT HISTORY’S EDGE, Terence McKenna

"Listening to nature is what shamanism is about. The planet yearns to communicate, and all nature is in fact language. We are somewhat anesthetized to this by our very introspective cultural style. Our whole focus of attention is inward, and so the natural world has fallen silent for most of us. Jean Paul Sartre said: “Nature is mute.” That, sadly, captures perfectly modernity’s relationship to nature, but still--if that isn’t the lamest statement made by a twentieth-century philosopher, I don’t know what is." from Chapter 5 Plant Messengers: Science, Culture, and Visionary Plants Dennis McKenna, Ph.D., Terence McKenna, and Wade Davis, Ph.D. Terrence McKenna

“Going to bed and waking in the morning (I woke, most often, too early) were bad times—so many hundreds of evenings and mornings. Sometimes I wondered who or what sends us this senseless repetition of days and nights and seasons and years; is it not like hearing a stupid boy whistle the same tune over and over, till you wonder how he can bear it himself?”
― C.S. Lewis, Till We Have Faces

Quote:

nam veluti pueri trepidant atque omnia caecis
in tenebris metuunt, sic nos in luce timemus
inter dum, nilo quae sunt metuenda magis quam
quae pueri in tenebris pavitant finguntque futura.
hunc igitur terrorem animi tenebrasque necessest
non radii solis nec lucida tela diei
discutiant, sed naturae species ratioque.


Just as children tremble and are scared by things in the dark, sometimes we in the light too face apprehensions that are no more to be feared, which, while they face them, dreaming, become scared of the future. Therefore, this terror, this darkness of mind must be scattered, not by rays of sunlight nor luminous loom of days, but by the face of nature and reason.

Lucretius, De Rerum Natura

I trend towards feeling like a philosophical pessimist a lot of the time, and don't necessarily have the highest amounts of faith in humanity, but I still WANT what's best for humanity, and have some hope.  I then got confused about cynicism for a minute and needed to look up the definitions quick and saw the "glass half empty or full" thing.  Then the thought popped into my head "I am an optimistic pessimist."  I am pessimistic, but cling on to hope for the Human Fucking Spirit.  I don't know if that's mutually exclusive or not.

Then I thought "I believe the glass is one quarter full."  I thought that was funny :tongue2:

I also like the kinda stoic, science-y sounding "it is at the 50% mark." :lol:

All original quotes and thoughts by me :cool2:

Fyodor Dostoyevsky (Notes from the Underground)




I picked that book up recently, probably because as far as I'm aware it's a cautionary tale as to what I feel myself becoming sometimes, or almost desire.  Also nice to mix things up.  Grabbed a few other existentialist books too but I've just kinda briefly read the intros so far and I'm not sure which one to start with.  I heard the Brothers Karamazov is also (another) good one by Dostoyevsky; just wondering what some of your top choices by him would be?

What's up!  Yea it feels like it's been a real long time lol, but I remember you.  Good to see you and hope you're doing well also :heart:



I've binged like 10 movies in the last few days but the most recent was rewatching Memento and paying attention to a lot of the themes regarding meaning and purpose, which is obviously an incurable itch that I can't scratch satiating-ly.

There were a lot of good quotes in there, but here's a few for starters.  First one for comedy "OK what am I doing -- oh, I'm chasing this guy" *gets shot at* "Nope, he's chasing me." :lol:

"You don't want the truth. You make up your own truth." -Teddy
"We all lie to ourselves to be happy." -Leonard

"I have to believe in a world outside my own mind. I have to believe that my actions still have meaning, even if I can't remember them. I have to believe that when my eyes are closed, the world's still there. Do I believe the world's still there? Is it still out there?... Yeah. We all need mirrors to remind ourselves who we are. I'm no different." -Leonard again



Also Roy's final line in Blade Runner just cuz it's so good "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe --- All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.  Time to die."

"If someone is badly hurt at some point in life - traumatized - the dominance counter can transform in a manner that makes additional hurt more rather than less likely ... [they continue] to attract genuine negative attention from one or more of the fewer and generally less successful bullies still extant in the adult world."

Quote:

"Life, as we find it, is too hard for us; it brings us too many pains, disappointments and impossible tasks. In order to bear it we cannot dispense with palliative measures... There are perhaps three such measures: powerful deflections, which cause us to make light of our misery; substitutive satisfactions, which diminish it; and intoxicating substances, which make us insensible to it."
Sigmund Freud
