    "When did you fall in love for the first time?"

    by Thrasymachus,Feb/25/2019

    I was about 5 years old, and my first love was a kitten about of about 6 weeks old, and yes, it was genuine article love. When it comes to human women,the fact is that I fall in love way too fast and easy; I wonder how it is that everyone doesn't, I mean, no joke here, I have never had even a one night stand with someone I wasn't in love with for at least that one night. (Seriously. I'm not ... Read the whole post

    What trait of your character do you find the most appealing?

    by Thrasymachus,Feb/22/2019

    Easy: my mortality. The gift of death awaits me, and if it didn't, I could not do this. But now I'm looking at this aspect of my existence and thinking that it is not so much a trait of my character, but more of a character of the existential reality of the being of all human beings. I guess a trait of my character would be less universal. I don't know, maybe my intelligence, except that its ... Read the whole post

    "On The Flies In The Marketplace" by Friedrich Nietzsche

    by Thrasymachus,Feb/11/2019

    Flee, my friend, into your solitude! I see you dazed by the noise of the great men and stung all over by the stings of the little men. Woods and crags know how to keep a dignified silence with you. Be like the tree that you love with its wide branches: silently listening, it hangs over the sea. Where solitude ceases the market place begins; and where the market place begins the noise of the ... Read the whole post

    There's no life guard on the gene pool!

    by Thrasymachus,Jan/31/2019

    If you can live inside a slogan or mythology or little self-help story, you may be extremely simple, like a child. Children who never learn to use reason as they span time are simpletons. Simpletons may be born into their simplicity, or they may inculcate it through choosing belief over thinking, and some may believe they've found profundity in children's stories and they wish to be recognized ...

    a short Nietzsche quote, but from memory, so please forgive any discrepancies ...

    The defective personality takes its revenge upon whoever is unfortunate enough to meet it.

    "On Child and Marriage"

    by Thrasymachus,Jan/17/2019

    "I have a question for you alone, my brother: like a sounding lead, I cast this question into your soul that I might know how deep it is. You are young and wish for a child and marriage. But I ask you: Are you a man entitled to wish for a child? Are you the victorious one, the self-conqueror, the commander of your senses, the master of your virtues? This I ask you. Or is it the animal and need ... Read the whole post

    To Wall Or Not To Wall...

    by Thrasymachus,Jan/10/2019

    ...That is the question, arisen out of the old tired lie that Mexico will pay for a big beautiful newfangled Great Wall, better than China's old one, separating the USA from the brown menace below it. He was lying. He's always lying. Now the government is shut down because of his lying, because he wants the American tax payer to pay for his insane debacle. Exciting times, these. The racists, ...

    So glad its over.

    by Thrasymachus,Jan/07/2019

    The holidays are over; the days are getting longer. The hypocrisy is getting back to normal levels of nauseating. The Trump has shut down the dysfunctional government, as he lost his NAZI majority in the House - washed away in a very pink blue-wave. The human animals are so disappointing most of the time that when they aren't, the associated astonishment often outweighs whatever it was that ... Read the whole post

    "God is dead..."

    by Thrasymachus,Dec/08/2018

    Nietzsche's most famous quote - it doesn't mean he thought there was an actual living God that expired and is deceased; it was a social statement reflecting the loss of power of the Church. Science no longer needing to take into account not conflicting with religion. The universal fiduciary shifting away from the theistic authority, as governments did the same. He called all modern theism, ... Read the whole post

    notta big fan

    by Thrasymachus,Dec/04/2018

    When one's family is nothing but tragedy, the holidays are nothing but a source of the sort of pain that makes it no wonder 'tis the season with the highest suicide rate. I'm also against dishonesty and find it odd we teach children to have faith in a Santa lie on this particular day, without too much thought to larger adult parallels of playing make-believe with faith in our lies. The idea of ... Read the whole post

    discerning fiction vs. non-fiction is difficult for some people

    by Thrasymachus,Nov/20/2018

    The story of the celebration of 1621 was made up in 1890. It is fiction. It was only after the First World War that a version of such a Puritan-Indian partnership took hold in elementary schools across the American landscape. We can thank the invention of textbooks and their mass purchase by public schools for embedding this "Thanksgiving" image in our modern minds. It was, of course, a complete ... Read the whole post

    just a thought...

    by Thrasymachus,Oct/25/2018

    As a dear friend of God and profoundest enemy of the dogmas that keep primates separated from my Most Beloved Friend, I just wanted to say that should your conscious evolution be in such a myth-based stage that you countenance an actual existentially real Satan, you should pray for him. Pray he reunites with his Creator, that his heart finds love and fulfillment and he stops hurting so bad that ... Read the whole post

    “In the beginning there was…”

    by Thrasymachus,Oct/09/2018

    Any story starting like this just isn’t thinking things all the way through. Perhaps their authors have failed to contemplate the nature of the Nothing - the possibility of the Nothing – to ask why there is something instead of nothing and to answer that but if there had ever been this sort of complete and total Nothing it would still hold sway (I’m talking about the sort of Nothing where ...

    Would you be surprised

    by Thrasymachus,Oct/01/2018

    Would it shock you to find out that there are enlightened chimps or orangutans somewhere, or ex-chimps and/or ex-orangutans in unmarked graves somewhere, as the result of CIA (or worse and more secret agencies) psychotropic drug experimentation? And what if we observed wild primates gathering in groups, on their own volition, on the Solstices - eating shrooms and tripping balls and dancing all ... Read the whole post

    "The world and everything that occurs in it is a Mystery. The crudeness of finding everything to be self evident through force of habit and the mania for mystery to the point of the sensational and the superstitious must disappear where genuine astonishment begins. Philosophy illuminates the Mystery and brings it completely into consciousness. It begins with astonishment and only increases the ... Read the whole post

    Not only is love blind...

    by Thrasymachus,Sep/15/2018

    ...but in many cases it's also deaf, dumb, scentless, and utterly lacking in tactile sensory appreciation as well; just two mindless primates bumping uglies and repeating their parents' mistakes.

    Diet Is Everything

    by Thrasymachus,Sep/10/2018

    Life's an amazing adventure. I just moved to Wisconsin from California and it feels like another rebirth. I have them from time to time; many lives lived in just this one meat suit. So far so good in Wisconsin - I just finished my 3rd week here. Diet is everything. But I have, in my own personal dyslexicon, expanded the meaning of 'diet' to refer to everything I take in, through all of my sensory ... Read the whole post

    People are people.

    by Thrasymachus,Sep/04/2018

    Blogging your negativity towards the opposite sex on a website, the expressed purpose of which is to help you meet people of the opposite sex, strikes me as unwise. I'm jotting this down here because just about everything I glanced at just now is either exactly that, or some trite crap masquerading as profundity - not sure which is a worse read. (Now if you're reading this and thinking I'm ... Read the whole post
