Excerpted from Orthodoxy, by G.K. Chesterton But what we suffer from to-day is humility in the wrong place. Modesty has moved from the organ of ambition. Modesty has settled upon the organ of conviction; where it was never meant to be. A man was meant to be doubtful about himself, but undoubting about the truth; this has been exactly reversed. Nowadays the part of a man that a man does assert is exactly the part he ought not to assert —himself. The part he doubts is exactly the part he ought not to doubt—the Divine Reason. Huxley preached a humility content to learn from Nature. But the new skeptic is so humble that he doubts if he can even learn. Thus we should be wrong if we had said hastily that there is no humility typical of our time. The truth is that there is a real humility typical of our time; but it so happens that it is practically a more poisonous humility than the wildest prostrations of the ascetic. The old humility was a spur that prevented a man from stopping; not a nail in his boot that prevented him from going on. For the old humility made a man doubtful about his efforts, which might make him work harder. But the new humility makes a man doubtful about his aims, which will make him stop working altogether.

THANK YOU FOR THIS LIST. THESE WERE FUN TO LISTEN TO, ALL FOR THE FIRST TIME. Except Moderat's The Fool, that brought me here. I havn't heard this Gotye song, but 'State of the Art' is excellent. Not sure what the Magnus Archives is, but looking it up, this is the shit. Thank you :) Skinmeat

talos principle 2 is like. you play as the worlds most puzzle-solving baby. you are experiencing vaguely shakespearean visions on the regular. gods like to talk to you. the only people in the world you know are an old british dyke, her pet twink, and two men on their third divorce of the century. sometimes there’s a cat.

Playing: The Talos Principle II; its superb. Its thought provoking. Baby Steps: Need Snacks, by Valerie Contera-Romero:

Sometimes people point at the last few hundred (or thousand) years of human history and say, look at how ugly it all is! Look at what a mess we've made! Maybe modernity was a bad idea, maybe we should stick to living like cavemen. And I get it, it *is* ugly and messy. But the mistake is thinking that where we are right now is the endpoint, that this is the adulthood of the human species.

I mean, try to apply what you know about human development to human history. Think about babies.

Babies are ugly. Admit it, we all know it, they look like tiny old people covered in mucus. They have soft heads! And they grow into children, tiny sociopaths with underdeveloped brains. And then they become teenagers, pimply self-righteous lunatics driven by hormones.

And then, slowly, if you're lucky, they gradually become adults.

The development of the human individual is always ugly and messy, but that's the point: it's development towards something. The same applies to humanity as a whole. On a geological scale, we've barely just come into existence. We've gotten through the baby phase, just about survived our childhood, but we're barely teenagers. Stopping here would be disastrous, and a betrayal of everything that we could still become. We may feel the weight of history on our shoulders, but this is just the prologue. To put it in pop culture terms, we haven't even made it out of the tutorial yet.

Just because it's all pimples and hormones and frustration right now doesn't mean it's never going to change.

Another dream comic. Had a dream where I was tied to a chair in a dark room and some hooded figures killed me after I begged for my life—but then I got caught in a time loop and so I kept trying to figure out what I could say to get them to not shoot me but they killed me no matter what I said. Started just shouting random stuff eventually.

ME. So many scrolls fell into lava. It was unrecoverable.
