@m-ushroomtale, You might be interested in this essay, perhaps.

the limits of rationalism

The belief that there exist unspeakable things forms the cornerstone of human existence. When individuals are able to articulate every word they think, they lose a part of their humanity. There are certain concepts that should remain unspoken. It is puzzling why Western societies constantly challenge and disregard the limitations and prohibitions that common human sense imposes on them.

Consider, for example, a situation where someone discusses incest without any reservations, claiming that it is acceptable. Why do individuals feel the need to probe and question every taboo and restriction, subjecting everything to an airtight and consistent system? Western rationalism is the root of this issue. The problem lies not in recognizing that the world possesses rationality, but in the assumption that one can fully comprehend its rationality beforehand.

In contrast, Eastern rationalism, including dialectics and Marxism, assumes a deeper rationality and meaning in the world but does not claim to understand why. For instance, the prohibition of incest has a valid reason, yet the exact understanding may be elusive. Gaining knowledge about such matters requires more than intellectual contemplation; it necessitates experiencing and encountering the subject matter, leading to a realization of the ancestral wisdom behind the prohibition.

This type of enlightenment is distinct from merely constructing mental systems. It involves a mythical journey, discovering the reasons behind the prohibition of certain things in society and their sacred and unspeakable nature. Wisdom, in my view, entails recognizing this process of acquiring knowledge and understanding. It is not merely accepting established norms, but it also does not assume that meaning is absent if it cannot be justified intellectually.

Unfortunately, some individuals, like Vosh, approach these matters differently. They arrogantly believe that they can overturn the entire history of human civilization through abstract reasoning. They think that running ideas through their minds and achieving a logically consistent system allows them to redefine sacred truths that have been universal across time.

This mindset represents the disease of Western rationalism and modernity. They overlook the fact that meaning and human significance cannot be reduced solely to a formally consistent mental system. Such a system is but a fraction of the broader understanding of meaning in the world. Wisdom encompasses various forms of comprehension, including surrendering to the limits of rationalization and acknowledging the presence of the inexplicable.\

The search for meaning involves a journey where one sometimes finds themselves speechless. This quest is not about formal consistency alone, as it eventually dissolves into incomprehensible equivalences. There exists something beyond formalization, resisting its complete grasp. Can we formally justify how we are born or our entry into this world? There are aspects of our existence that defy formalization, and attempting to impose it on everything is a separate issue.

For instance, we are born into families without choosing them. Is it justifiable to live within a family? Dylan Burns' hypothetical debate about territorial disputes reflects a similar problem. By assuming a normative and moral position, he frames the debate within the individual's agency. The issue lies not in whether it is justified or not, but in understanding what it truly represents.

Historical phenomena like territorial disputes cannot be simplified to mere questions of justification. Instead, they require a broader understanding of their nature and context. Meaning, therefore, extends beyond formal consistency, as it encompasses the complexities and limitations of our attempts to rationalize the world.

In conclusion, recognizing the existence of unspeakable things and accepting the limits of our understanding is fundamental to being human. Wisdom lies in navigating the mythical journey of discovery, acknowledging that meaning transcends formalized systems and embracing the inherent mysteries of existence.

Hegel remarks somewhere that all great world-historic facts and personages appear, so to speak, twice. He forgot to add: the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce.

The free-time-cels might have useful analysis of the conditions in but do seem to be afflicted with the fatalist, one weird-trick attitude that, furthermore, doesn't have any idea how concretely to propagandize the importance of free time to the masses even, so that both reformist social democracy's concessions and Marxist-Leninism's more methodical attempts to truly cross the river are dismissed as useless by them.

I agree they talkin like the meme with the cat were the cat presses a button and 'abolishes' the state" button also not gonna let them callin china facist slide "jehu means it in a different way" i dont care its about giving a nato talking point extra legs its something as mls we should cirtique and i know this comes from anti leninist impulses but i mean he gave credence to a post by an ethnic supremacist account saying "yes we are national socialists" lol that shit is mad cringe

Venezuela is fighting the remnants of foreign meddling in the America's. Guayana's border with Venezuela, called the Schomburgk Line, was established by Britain near the middle of the 1800s. Like Israel, it is entirely artificial, and cut right into established Venezuelan territory. It was an outright violation of Pan-American sovereignty by a completely foreign power that has no business in our continent. It was an outright challenge to the sovereignty of ALL sovereign American countries, including our own. When the patriotic Venezuelans appealed to us for help, we defended their right to dispute the claims against Britain. But the international bankster cartel, nearing a full coup of US sovereignty with the establishment of the federal reserve in 1913, ensured that the US-led commission decide in Britain's favor. We betrayed our Venezuelan brothers and the American cause itself. A state similar to the British mandate in Palestine was then created- and like Israel, it received "independence" in 1966. More recently, the international bankster cartel, including the remnants of Rockefeller oil, have bought out the entire government of Guayana to plunder its resources. These shitty small "countries" - Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan, Guayana - exist to thwart the emergence of sovereign regional powers. I commend my PATRIOTIC Venezuelan brothers in their fight against the international banksters, the forces of Zionism and neo-colonialism!

What Materialism actually is:

All reality is material. Material means Essential, free from a form or simple identity. Therefore, no essence is limited to a form that you can think of or make reducible. For example, love, though real, can't be reduced to any form or argument. pic.twitter.com/Gwrblps06b

I feel bad for all the Gen Alpha iPad kids who are just getting groomed by internet psychos into mass formation hysterics & "identity" neuroses -- it's really fucked up that we allow adults & children to "socialize" in the same internet environments, all it leads to is the most fucked up adults having untrammeled access to the most suggestible minds, VR Chat cults, fandom rapists, & "political satire" via fetish pornography. Imagine you have a fifteen year old kid & they're joining sides in Roblox wars as either Lord of the Rings LARP "Defenders of the West" or Anarcho-liberal Gender Accelerationists-- you can't even tell them to "log off" & "touch grass" or "have a normal one" because this is normal now.
