Holden,

Thank you for your response and the links. I hope you are enduring your health issues with tranquility. Another issue is your colleagues at work. That nasty environment can cripple a healthy man. I wonder if you could have a sort of retirement due to working in an unhealthy environment.

Unfortunately, Adan, the young man, without a face transplant things will find survival very difficult, to say the least. The interview does not say anything about his family but I would not be surprised if he handed his salary to his wife. It happens here often. I suppose Adan is Catholic given the fact that Mexico is predominantly Catholic.

Here in Paraguay we have an expression in jopará (a mix of Spanish and Guarani) lorito oga, i.e., the domesticated or tamed parrot. It means a parrot in a cage. It refers to the husband tied to a domineering wife, unable to play soccer with his buddies or have a drink. That is part of our machista culture.

His tragedy reminds me of how resilient human beings are. The guy is an optimist and so are millions on this Earth.
If this guy had someone like Nietzche as an adviser, what would the philosopher advise to him?

Solemne means in Spanish formal, firm, serious, valid or severe. The word has a strong connotation. A person must fulfill a duty with fidelity.

Nowadays few stick to their vows after getting married and I agree with you when you say that wives leave their husbands when they make more money than the husband. Money gives power.

Well, the only thing I read about Aquinas is that in his view animals have no afterlife and no rights. He also said the saints in heaven are permitted to see the punishment of the damned in hell so that they may enjoy their beatitude and the Grace. Aquinas also said that human beings do evil by seeking good in the wrong way. From his point of view prostitutes are a necessary evil to protect the virtue of honest women. “Take away prostitutes from the world and you will fill it with sodomy.”

Stay safe.

Demonic Dance of Angels in Argentina( To Senor Raul)
« Reply #241 on: January 01, 2021, 02:06:09 pm »
Senor Raul,

Thank you for the message. You are most kind in that you take some time out to respond to my bitter rants.

If this  man had someone like Nietzsche as an adviser, what would the philosopher advise to him?-Senor Raul

First off, when Nietzsche uses the word Ubermensch, he means someone far closer to Goethe than Napoleon.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Wolfgang_von_Goethe

He would probably say to this poor creature to embrace his suffering.To say Yes to his plight.Not only that, but to joyfully accept getting battered an infinite number of times. I might mention here that Nietzsche's own life was no bed of roses and he suffered a great deal.The last ten years spent as a zombie. His sister dressed him up in a white gown and put him on display for the tourists.

By the way, I would like to find out your esteemed opinion on this:


How would one unpack this scene of celebration- I mean the unspoken assumptions:
1.These women would copulate in a manner that they would end up being "in the family way".
2.For some reason, they would like to use  abortion as the means of birth control-not pills,not female condoms,not Copper IUDs but abortion.

The point is- I am not very sure if the foetus  feels no pain.Pain might be all-pervasive.

Back to Nietzsche and the battered man-well, the thing is ,if determinism is true, and that is how things appear to me, then, there is very little that man could have done to save himself.Jupiter decreed that he should get battered badly.If that were to happen to me,then probably I would like to die- even more intensely than I do now.

There is a wide spread narrative that women are such innocent angels that when they need to get an abortion they are sad and extremely reluctant. Well, this video put paid to that myth.

Don't get me wrong-I am not pro-life,but I am also not pro-stupidity.What I am trying to say is-why get in a situation where an abortion is needed? But of course, I am the abnormal one. Normality is to copulate and then abort.Rinse and repeat.

Some of these ladies, I am told, dabble in witchcraft and black magik and as a part of the black magik ceremony,they go out and copulate,get impregnated and then sacrifice the baby ,by way of abortion, to their carnivorous deity.

Take care.

Holden,

Thank for the links. I heard about the bill to legalize abortion in Argentina. I knew it was just a matter of time. These thousands of women and girls who are celebrating this bill legalizing abortion have no idea that they are just tools in the agenda of the controllers of this world.

The fact that thousands of these women are in the streets when people in Argentina cannot cross the provinces because of the plandemic clearly shows that the government is behind these abortion rights advocates.

Women are no innocent creatures and neither are men. We are all part of this hellish game.

As to whether fetuses feel pain I read an article by Sarah G. Miller in 2016 where in Utah, USA, a law was passed “that required doctors to give anesthesia to a fetus prior to performing an abortion that occurs at 20 weeks of gestation or later. Indeed, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) said it considers the case to be closed as to whether a fetus can feel pain at that stage in development. The science shows that based on gestational age, the fetus is not capable of feeling pain until the third trimester," said Kate Connors, a spokesperson for ACOG. The third trimester begins at about 27 weeks of pregnancy.” I wonder if what these obstetricians and gynecologists say is true.

Some say that if any person wants to kill without danger working in an abortion clinic as a doctor is the best choice.

The little I know is that men and women in positions of power,as you say, dabble in witchcraft and black magik and as a part of the black magik ceremony,they go out and copulate,get impregnated and then sacrifice the baby ,by way of abortion, to their carnivorous deity.

I have just been reading about the election fraud in the USA. John Roberts, Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court of Justice, allegedly took those Lolita express flights to this Jeffrey Epstein´s island where he had ssex with minors along with many others supposedly such as Prince, Andrew, Woody Allen, Bill Clinton, Naomi Watts, etc. Their names have been recorded in the flight log. Chief Justice Roberts supposedly havid knowledge of Antonin Scalia´s death, a former US Chief Justice during Obama´s presidency.

This Epstein guy, a millionaire, allegedly killed himself in 2019 in a New York prison but some say he is still alive working with the authorities. A famous lawyer, Lin Wood, linked Roberts to illegal adoption from Epstein of two children from Wales. This lawyer also accused Democrat leader, Joe Biden of being a criminal and a pervert. What I read was that having ssex with minors is part of an initiation into these secret clubs. So I would not be surprised if they sacrificed babies to dark deities. 

I saw many times pictures in some books of that famous scene from the Sixtine Chapel in the Vatican, the one where God leans over and almost touches the fingertip of our  so-called father Adam. Are Adam and God are pointing at each other or blaming each other for what can only deemed a really ffucked up creation.

Most of us behave like those rabbits hypnotized by the boa constrictor.We have been like rabbits that recognized the right of the boa constrictor to swallow us; whoever fell under the power of its gaze would walk quite calmly and with a sense of doom into its mouth.

Embrace suffering, that is what Nietzche would advise to Adan. To joyfully accept getting battered an infinite number of times, as you say, is not something that many would accept. We seek pleasure at all times.

Stay vigilant.

In the Sunset of Dissolution, Everything is Illuminated by the Aura of Nostalgia
« Reply #244 on: January 04, 2021, 03:53:07 pm »
Senor Raul,

Thanks for the message. Much appreciated as always.
I would very much like to know as what do you make of Fernando Lugo-the priest who became a politician.Thanks.

"In the sunset of dissolution, everything is illuminated by the aura of nostalgia, even the guillotine." -Kundera

I think of what Kundera says here in the light of Nietzsche's Eternal Recurrence. If something is taking place just once,one could say that it was contingent.But eternal recurrence turns that into something substantial,something solid.I am thinking of the man who met with an accident in the video you shared with me.

Nietzsche, in his nachlass,can be found to be playing with this idea as a general theory. If the atoms in the world are finite,then they might very well attain the same configuration periodically. One would not remember anything, of course. The man would not know that he had met with an accident earlier too. Which is better-to be mauled once? Or to get mauled an infinite number of times?

Take care.

Blonde shows cherry to the boys and leave the girls crazy
« Reply #245 on: January 05, 2021, 06:04:48 am »
Holden,

Thank you for the links. Mr.Gary forgets that human beings are selfish. It is in our nature. We act out only of self interest. Can human nature be reworked? No.

This is the reason, as you well know, we have a state. Human selfishness has to be repressed by knowing that there will always be consequences for breaking the rules and norms of society. We must be governed by czars, rulers, princes, emperors to whom we give total obedience.

Sometimes from the distance I would like to witness huge riots where once again we will see the suspension of our so-called civilized world. Our veneer fades much faster than anyone expects and we become terrifying creatures.

Fomer Paraguayan president Fernando Lugo has been too much quiet during this plandemic. I suppose he must have received some incentives, so to speak, to remain quiet. He is currently a Senator. Now the Paraguayan congress will be on vacation for almost 3 months while thousands were left jobless.

As to your question, the best thing is not to have been born.

In the link below, that I took from Rede TV a Brazilian TV station, you will see female actors playing jokes in the streets but I think it can be considered a pyschological study of how female acts when they see themselves threatened by other females.

The title in Spanish is “The blonde shows “cherry” for the boys  and leave the girlfriends crazy.

Out of the Crooked Timber of Humanity, No Straight Thing was Ever Made
« Reply #246 on: January 06, 2021, 03:27:14 pm »
Senor Raul,

Thank you for the message.You write:

Mr.Gary forgets that human beings are selfish. It is in our nature. We act out only of self interest. Can human nature be reworked? No.

I could not agree with you more.While I do admire Mr.Gary,evidently, there is a difference between what he believes and what you ( and I) believe.As you say very succinctly- It is in our nature.

We are all covered by a mass of perversion-total depravity.As Kant says,'Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made.'

For all his pessimism,Mr.Gary remains an optimist in that he believes that a way could be devised in order to put the sentient creatures out of their misery.Let me be clear-his heart is in the right place and he is a zillion times better than Joe Sixpack,but the fact remains that his ideas,like that of nuking the Earth to bits, would just never fly.The world, if and when it perishes, would do so, as Eliot writes,"Not with a bang, but with a whimper".

Second, he believes that the emergence of sentient life in the universe (on Earth), has probably happened just once. That is highly questionable. Sentient life maybe as common as mushrooms after rain.

Still, the man has suffered a great deal and what he wishes to do is commendable. I agree with him emotionally but not intellectually. I think that he underestimates what he is up against. It is not as easy as switching off the lights, or pushing the nukes button.

The problem is, unlike Herr Hauser, he sorely lacks deep philosophical understanding and he also does not possess your radical pragmatism.
Yet, he is clearly one of us,we all want the same thing- permanent cessation of suffering.

Even if some one literally blasts the Earth to smithereens,I have a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach that it would not be the end of all suffering forever.No, things are a little more complicated than that,aren't they?

Thanks for the video.

Take care.

Night life in Paraguay
« Reply #247 on: January 07, 2021, 12:42:37 pm »
Holden,

Thank you for the link. Metallica and a clip from Saving Private Ryan are a good combination.

You think too much. Why don´t you become like most of us, homo consumus, because we have long ceased to be homo sapiens.

We have been atrophied by technological gadgets. To the thugs in power we are just social animals with no intelligence whatsoever. You know in 15 years, if I am still here, newspapers and magazines will be relics.

Maybe you have heard of Enrique Guinsberg, who coined the term normópata in Spanish. Guinsberg is a Mexican communicator and researcher in the Department of Psychology in the Universidad Autónoma Metropolinata Xochimilco in México.

In English normópata could be translated as normopath. According to Guinsberg the normopaths are the normal subjects those who passively accept as a principle everything that their culture deems as good, fair and correct, not being able to question anything and sometimes not even think differently but judge critically those who do it or even condemn them or accept their condemnation. Hentrich would call them gorts.

To the normopaths the “bad” citizens are a menace to the planet and as neighbors they will report or denounce them.
Just watch what many people did to their neighbors in this plandemic. It is nothing new. It happened in the Soviet Union, in Nazi Germany, in East Germany and is happening in Cuba and Communist China. Israel at this moment will issue green passports for those who get vaccinated for the China bug. I am suffering from diabetes so I will get a brown passport. Anything is possible.

I am sure there is sentient life on other planets. Maybe there are extraterrestrials on Mars and we don´t know it yet. The Pentagon in 2019 released footage of UFOs taken by US military pilots. Last year an Israeli scientist and retired military officer says that US President Donald Trump knows all about it but he says that humans are not ready.

I wonder if there is a Holden, a Hentrich, Ibra or Silenus among the aliens.

Stay safe.

P.D. Below is a link called Vida Nocturna en Paraguay -2010. Night life in Paraguay. This is a report for a TV channel. I recognize some streets. The image matters most here. The reporter is doing a tour with a taxi driver, interviewing a girl at night and showing the streets at night.

Flee, My Friend, into thy Solitude! ( To Senor Raul)
« Reply #248 on: January 09, 2021, 03:50:14 pm »
Senor Raul,

Thanks for the message and the video.

Your write:
I wonder if there is a Holden, a Hentrich, Ibra or Silenus among the aliens.
Yes,millions of Holdens, in all probability.But I suspect there is only one Herr Hauser.

I saw the video. Many women these days have their "Only Fans" pages and earn without venturing outside.
Yes,well, I am not "normal",I freely admit it.I do not belong to the mainstream, however that maybe defined.I have never slept with anyone,not even a street-walker.

The "normal" people take everything in their stride. Matrimony,Copulation and pregnancy are par for the course for them.Not for me.
For me these are extremely complicated, even philosophical issues. One life time is not sufficient to grapple with them.
Most people are lemming-like.

I have to agree with Socrates here- I do not understand most things I see around me. Not by a long shot.

We were talking about Nietzsche a few days back and I would like to say something that I was recently thinking about.Nietzsche was a deeply conflicted man.When he proposed to Salome ,well, he proposed three times and was turned down each time,he was almost on the verge of committing suicide and only will a herculean effort of his will could he continue to draw breath.

Here is the thing,on the one hand, he wishes to embrace everything life throws at him and yet on the other hand he absolutely despises pettiness of any kind. You asked me what he would say to the man who met with a gruesome accident. That would not have been something he would find difficult to answer.That was,in fact, right up alley.

But ,imagine,the institution which was paying him pension, delayed his pension due to some  administrative red-tapism.Now, the question is-would he embrace such pettiness too?Would he haggle for money with his University's clerk ?
I'd better allow him to respond :

Flee, my friend, into thy solitude! I see thee stung all over with the stings of the little ones.

Admirably do forest and rock know how to be silent with thee. Resemble again the tree which thou lovest, the broad-branched one- silently and attentively it o'erhangeth the sea.

Where solitude endeth, there beginneth the market-place; and where the market-place beginneth, there beginneth also  the buzzing of the poison-flies.


Critics like to focus on Nietzsche,heck, even Hollywood likes to focus to Nietzsche, but not on Schopenhauer, oh no, that would not happen in a thousand years, they would embrace anyone but  Schopenhauer.This tells us something,does it not?

Please take care.

Cursed be Hope! Cursed be Faith!-Goethe
« Reply #249 on: January 09, 2021, 10:28:37 pm »
When sweet familiar tones drew me,

Away from the tormenting crowd,

Then my other childhood feelings

Better times echoed, and allowed.

So I curse whatever snares the soul,

In its magical, enticing arms,

Banishes it to this mournful hole,

With dazzling, seductive charms!

Cursed be those high Opinions first,

With which the mind entraps itself!

Then glittering Appearance curse,

In which the senses lose themselves!

Curse what deceives us in our dreaming,

With thoughts of everlasting fame!

Curse the flattery of ‘possessing’

Wife and child, lands and name!

Curse Mammon, when he drives us

To bold acts to win our treasure,


Curse the sweet juice of the grape!

Curse the highest favours Love lets fall!

Cursed be Hope! Cursed be Faith



-Faust(Goethe)

Goethe was an extremely gifted writer. The problem is, he possessed a naturally sunny disposition, for something like Faust.
Now,if Schopenhauer were to rewrite it... ;)

Apocalyptic Times
« Reply #251 on: January 10, 2021, 02:29:35 pm »
Holden,
होल्डेन, मुझे आशा है कि आप अपने स्वास्थ्य के मुद्दों को समाप्त कर रहे हैं।

Maybe Hentrich is an alien and he does not know it… :D

You have a bad attitude. You are not normal. There is a new coined term, “happytalism”. That means you have to be happy in the new infernal world. Anyone who protests against happiness will be expelled from this paradise. Please, do not go against the current, be normal and be happy, be polite, be nice. :D

I don´t know. Maybe Salome turned Nietzche down because she did not find engagements appealing. Maybe she thought the philosopher was too much for her. It would take a brave courageous and philosophically versed filmmaker to make a film on Schopenhauer. Schopenhauer in this greedy world is not marketable.

You dedicate your life to extremely complicated, even philosophical issues as you say. Most do not want to do that. These issues complicate their lives, their careers, their jobs, their families, practically everything.

Those who study the Gnostics say that most people work for the Archons without questioning their own behavior or mental programming. They are puppets, they are of demons and they behave like zombies. They are enemies of freedom as much as the owners of this human farm are. The human farm needs a new reset, Mr. Klaus Schwab, founder of the Economic Forum in Davos, has stated that aim, so the Demiurge wants to eat because it has awakened after a long, long, long dream. They will reduce the population and the demiurge will fill its belly with much happiness. This is war.

Stay vigilant.

P.S. In one of my post I wrote about Lin Wood, a member of President Trump´s legal team. He, in his parler account, says that Pope Francis will be arrested in connection with an 80 count indictment of charges including possession of child ppoornography, human trafficking and fraud etc. There was a blackout in Rome and in the Vatican yesterday. Allegedly the Pope is involved in the massive fraud election in the USA together with the Italian government. There were blackouts in Pakistan and Berlin.

I read also that there are military troops in Washington D.C.  The U.S. President, due to being banned by Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, and other platforms, will use an emergency broadcast system.

We are living in apocalyptic times.

To Senor Raul,

My apologies, Senor Raul, for the delayed response-I was feeling terrible.I was thinking about life in general, and how it cannot help but be tragic.

I think, in a way, only a confirmed bachelor could ever come close to reality. It is  hard to imagine how one could stay married and yet remain an honest man. An honest man is not a married man and vice versa.

All the projects taken up to fix the world are doomed to fail from the very beginning.
What percentage of the male Paraguayan population ,would you say, remains unmarried for the whole of their lives?

If you do not mind, could you please tell me at what age did you decide that you were going to stay unmarried(if indeed, you have made such a decision).

I hope that dying does not turn out to be as bad as my life has been.The problem is,the world is especially cruel to an honest man like you-very,very cruel.

This whole corona vaccine business, I would really like to know what your thoughts on  this matter are.Existence is really,really bad. So bad,in fact, I would never ever be able to describe the wretchedness properly.

Take care.

Holden,

I found a meme in Spanish where Death meets Life and there is a dialogue:

Death: Why is everybody afraid of me?
Life:   Because I am full of lies and you are the reality.


Life is tragic. Life is also a mystery. Where does all this lead to? Are our destinies marked or determined or are we just playthings in the hands of the gods? Life cannot be limited to being born, growing up, reproducing and die. Growing up, working, marrying a lady, work harder, bringing children, work much harder, grow old, grow senile, grow sick and die.

I think probably before the age of 30 I decided to stay single. In part it was my sad and bitter family background and something deep down told me that this world is cruel. Life does not deserve sons and daughters. Life has had enough with me. We have come to be exploited by usurers, bankers, judges, princes, czars, ministers, and their minions.

The Paraguayan Secretariat for Youth last year in their research on the socioeconomic profile and expectations concluded that based on a work with 2,900 young people: 84% is single  7% in free union or living as concubines, 6% formally marry. So extremely few remain single their entire lifetime.

About the corona issue, the pandemic has been well planned. It was planned decades before all of us were born. For this deathly evil elite this planet is a living laboratory. The Soviet Union, Nazi Germany, Communist China, East Germany, Europe under the Iron Curtain, all the wars and economic crises were part of the experiment. Of course nobody told us anything about how this world is being run.

The elite or cabal, owners of Microsoft, Facebook, BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, General Motors, Coca-Cola, Wells Fargo, The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, Johnson & Johnson, etc., want to be the masters of the planet. In their view humans are worthless. They think they do us a favor by exterminating us.

According to a Spanish autor, Pedro Rosillo, who wrote about the Gnostics, these elites are also servants to the archons. Those in power have black magicians at their service who control this world and the world beyond.

In exchange of human sacrifices, the millions of children missing around the world and torturing them to harvest the adrechronome-known as the Fountain of Youth serum- from their blood and inject to stay healthy and strong, the members of the elite can reincarnate into someone powerful and continue to enjoy the pleasures of running this human farm. Servile humans obedient to the power deserve their destiny and were born to serve the dark elite. They always win in this diabolic world where the big fish eat the small fish. We are just cannon fodder. Born to pay taxes. That is the reason we are here. Earth is an animal farm.

We were born in deception.

Lucifer or Satan, the boss of the archons, so to speak, is the father of all created, of all matter. There was nothing before him, he created the universe and he is the only one. He is the true father of those who prayed every night in the name of the prophets.

To the archons the Catholic Church was a very important ally because it preached the doctrine that the fires of hell were eternal and nobody could leave hell. Therefore it deprived millions of hope who fell in the darkness of death.
To the archons this world is a mirror, a hologram. Something that is not real. It was an electronic game that someone is commanding from the outside. We ourselves are dolls that are programmed with genetic codes. We are in a big computer. Satan controls the computer and he will not turn it off. He is the god of this world and matter. With his consciousness he created all that exists.

Stay safe.

I have lived so long amid their noise and bad breath !(To Senor Raul)
« Reply #254 on: January 15, 2021, 12:06:24 pm »
But down there all speech is in vain! There to forget and to pass by are the best wisdom. That have I learnt now!

He who would conceive all with men, would have to touch everything. But for that my hands are too clean.

I do not like to breathe even their breath. Alas, that I have lived so long amid their noise and bad breath !

Oh, blissful stillness round me! Oh, pure odours round me! Oh, how this stillness bringeth pure breath out of a deep breast ! Oh, how it hearkeneth, this blissful stillness !

But down there everything speaketh, everything is overheard. Let folk proclaim their wisdom by ringing bells, the shopkeepers in the market will outring them with their pennies! -Nietzsche

Senor Raul,

I looked up the word "Archon" and found this-  "Archons are, in Gnosticism and religions closely related to it, the builders of the physical universe. , the archons are rulers, each related to one of seven planets; they prevent souls from leaving the material realm.".-Wikipedia.

I think Gnosticism is as old as Christianity,not to mention  that it is truer than conventional Christianity. I think the Gnostics ,if they were here now, would join the anti-natalists, and the anti-natalists,were they present in the ancient world would have become Gnostics. Your repeated mentioning of the Gnostics tells me that you have got great instincts to detect the truth. I agree with you and the Gnostics. To me personally, the Gnostics world view, your world view, makes much more sense than that of the Popes  and the Pastors.

I think the Gnostics were probably the first pessimists.How did you come across them, if I might ask?Maybe we are the latter-day Gnostics. Is there any English language book on the Gnostics you suggest to me to read?This world-view which you espouse seems to me to be in possession of internal self-consistency.

Yet people keep on reproducing,they fail to observe that they are shackled. As you rightly say-they are genetically programmed to do so. There is almost always an intense feeling of dread inside of me. Feeling that something really terrible is about to happen. It is the negative thinkers who are the honest ones,not the positive thinkers.

It is,in the end, a matter of waiting to die. But before death, a thousand and one torments would probably get to me. There is an old story which goes something like this- there was a man, in days gone by, who are very honest and God fearing and though the tempter tested him a great deal by making him suffer more than anyone else, he never complained about God.Not even once.

He dies and goes to heaven and there are two angels,one defending him and one prosecuting him, in order to determine his fate. As he as an excellent human being, the prosecuting angel said that because the man remained silent in his life and never complained, I too shall stay silent. They asked him what would he like to have in heaven.They told him he could have anything,anything at all.

He thought for some time and meekly said- I would like have my coffee lukewarm at least instead of the way I always received it during my life on earth(where the coffee was always of the below room temperature).

The prosecuting angel burst out laughing,in a sardonic fashion, because the man had suffered so very much in his lifetime of earth, he had been so severely traumatized, that even when asked to wish for anything in the universe,all he could think of was his lukewarm coffee.

Please take care.
