Favorite panel from the Wicked graphic novel. Sadly there is no artist's depiction of the philosopher's club 😮‍💨

Need to start a book club for people who like Dostoevsky, Kierkegaard, Kafka, Rilke, Nietzsche. Also just to hang out on a discord server or something and be friends. I would like a close little group of friends, God knows it’s a lonely world, but I don’t think it has to be.

I’ve been reading The Idiot and I’m desperate to share my outpouring of feelings with someone. :^)

Freud was wrong because he spoke as if his findings were fundamental, rather than a consequence of concerted malicious effort to bring about a particular social reality(that we live in).

*1 "Masculinity" is little more than the objectification of the "feminine." In turn, the "feminine" is little more than a reflection of the self as an object.

This is the underlying idea or framework that our dominant social life is built on. It cannot be rehabilitated, we need something new.

Patriarchy splits humanity fundamentally into two groups, the Object and Subject; and visits vicious beatings upon any who challenge these organizational conventions.

First upon the self; artificially enforcing a standard of behavior that must be strived for in order to maintain a base level of social acceptance. Ensuring it is contradictory an unattainable enough that targets of this ruse can always be validly criticized under the assumption that (1) is true; thus internally and across each group, the victims of this scam will rabidly self police.

Then; from each, upon the other. Jealous resentment and possessive hatred from the Subject to Object, for the "adoration" that is inflicted upon the Object. Like a well worn pickaxe resents that their work is merely in service of the pursuit of a ruby. Then monstering and perverse longing from Object to Subject; for the ability to "act" and exist, not as merely the observed, but as an active participant in this social reality. Like the aardvark wishes for a thriving colony for it's next meal, even as it steals past a slumbering lion. Thus ensuring that neither group can find any true solace in the shared yoke they find themselves under, for the perpetual animosity betwixt the two keeps their guns ever trained on the slightest noise in the dark forest we call civil society, and their fingers light on the trigger.

The glamour, the genjutsu, thus reinforces itself through the terrified and vengeful actions of its own victims. Each now so committed to maintaining their perceived slivers of power in this social framework, that they will invent justification after rationalization for why the unspoken conceit of this world is both just and must remain , even as they resent it's consequences in quiet.

Those who cannot find themselves comfortably fit on either side, either by nature or will, find themselves horrifically brutalized by both for daring to challenge the cage they collectively share.

The horror that you and I live through every day, is the consequences of these ideas being viciously and constantly branded onto our world, in a desperate attempt to make the fit appear effortless and malignantly snug. But we do not need them, and we never have.

Young lady and "lady," both; try a pair of boxers. Young man and young "man;" wear the dress.

Become who you are and reject shaming from a world that is killing you over pieces of stressed cotton.

Finishing up the 3 Body Problem and my thoughts here are: this bunch of physicists could have REALLY used ONE (1) humanities specialist in their midst.

On the floor screaming and crying FLORENCE BABY I'LL MISS YOU - LGL

My dearest LGL, congratulations on making it to the end of week one that is the emotional roller coaster of the year 1929. I’m proud of us, babes. Let me just say….

This is about to be me trying to drink and act casual with friends this weekend but actually being in deep mourning for Florence. Gotta wear all black for the occasion, of course.

I got the strangest, most distinct sadness when silly little grim showed up for her, like this whole legacy has actually grown past it’s original roots in the same way you often see families begin to form their own branches when the matriarch/patriarch dies.

I love it when when the gameplay and in-game story intersect to create deepened immersion.

For example, Wallbridge is traumatic for both the characters AND the player :P

someone in the system had the idea of having clubs dedicated to different hobbies and stuff within the system as a good way for some alters with similar interests who haven't interacted much to get to know each other, and a way for everyone to hang out and relax a bit which sounds like a really nice idea.

and then someone else suggested a philosophy club, which is great and sounds really fun but if there's one thing we're good at it's overthinking, and now I'm just imagining the chaos that would unfold with this

Spiritual leaders, priests and prophets are lamps burning in the dark, seeking meaning for humanity.
