The more I read of Emil Cioran, the more I like the guy

Previously, I had not been as familiar with his works compared to the likes of Schopenhauer, Nietzche and even Henry Mencken, granted it's a Romanian figure, and although there are some occasional things I disagree with him on, I find more and more that the guy was a real genius and that there is even more profound wisdom and philosophies in this Man that even meets the eyes at first.

In my free time lately I have been reading much more of him.

    sir i cannot believe you are reading cioran!! (i never saw this transformation back then(it is like only some of us are into these things and as cioran said:
    {Wisdom is the last word of a dying civilization, the halo of historical sunsets, fatigue turned into a worldview, the final tolerance before the rise of fresher gods – and barbarism. It is also a vain attempt at melody amidst the wheezing of the end, which rises everywhere. For the Sage – the theorist of the untroubled death, the hero of indifference, and the symbol of the final stage of philosophy, of its degeneration and its emptiness – has solved the problem of his own death . . . and hence all other problems as well. Uniquely ridiculous, he is an extreme case, that one encounters in extreme times like an exceptional confirmation of the general pathology.}

      @mani,

      You best believe I do! Cioran is an extremely unique, brilliant mind, and particularly because there is much more in his words than meets the eye or in terms of the face value of the paper it's written on, and sadly I think that's one of the reasons along with his him being a highly "disliked" individual because of his works, is why he is extremely unpopular, even among most other Cynical writers.

      Because even in the statements where I might disagree with something he says, he is not actually necessarily "wrong" about something, or there is a deeper nuance and meaning behind his spoken words that few people probably ever pick up on or care to understand further, plus it involves knowing more about him personally in his mindset to not misconstrue him.

      I likely will do an entry on him down the line.

Great New Goatis Videos On Telegram

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLM6DG0UD54 I really do appreciate Goatis elaborating on the truth that Hedonism is Human Nature! In fact, if it hasn't been so obvious in terms of what I promote without ever stating it much, I have always been an advocate of Purposeful Hedonism. I also am an advocate against the push for the whole "Minimalist" Movement, which I have at times touched upon. The notion of "Living With Less", even if it's passed on by some Online gurus, is actually NOT without an agenda of its own, and it's designed to condition you to wall yourself in - figuratively speaking - and for you to accept the coming Enslavement system where you will "own nothing" and "have nothing" but believe in a delusional manner that you are happy. Living With Less, Means you have LESS Options. I am against Minimalism, and the fact about the Minimalist lifestyle is that it actually is a LOT more expensive in the long-run, and also produces ...

Buckle Up For A Stupid Year of 2026 Ahead

So here we are just a few days into this year, and I've been seeing just how ridiculous and out of control things are beginning to shape up, even just in general, even outside of the whole Worldwide situations. Where I live this year, it has snowed and rained every single day so far since the start of the New Year without letting up. I'm tired of this shit. In fact, as things stand in just the last few days, several countries in the world right now already stand a chance of Collapsing, including Iran and Cuba, but also some others. Then you have Trump "bribing" Greenlanders to pay them large sums of money if they are willing to sell Greenland to the USA, while the government can barely furnish a Tariff rebate that is supposedly "promised" to their citizens. Total retardation. That being said, this is going to definitely be a year where people begin to really see how much more things make absolutely NO FUCKING SENSE and where I believe more people will inevit...

The Charlie Kirk Psyop Is Evaporating

Well, I'm kind of glad it's evaporating and losing interest so rapidly, because I'm frankly so sick of hearing about the guy, and especially because he wasn't anyone all that important either, on top of being a "sell-out". But just like many other psyops that have been launched, this one is not holding, and I expect most global interest to fade out by the end of this month. In another year or two, he will be as interesting or famous as Andrew Tate or Colin Powell is these days, only proving all the more how the hysteria and emotions that have been wound up around him, were completely manufactured by Media Hype, rather than organic responses from the public. He was a nothingburger from the beginning, yet the Media had the whole world convinced within a matter of hours from his death as if he were the second coming of Jesus Christ.
