Thought 37: Depression as the AIDS of Mental Health

Depression destroys the mental immune system

just as AIDS destroys the bodily immune system.

Thought 36: Thinking of Death...

Death takes the soul

that is not liberated

and places it

elsewhere.

Thought 35: Truth and the Truth

The truth is that truth is power.

Thought 34: Optimalism

Things are optimal

because life as she is

is all we ever have.

Thought 33: On the Laws of Knock-About Table Tennis

Once someone

smashes the ball,

the sporting peace

has become a 

competitive

war.

Thought 32: Piano and Constitution

Is there a bodily compatibility

between some composers

and their interpreters?

Thought 31: What Is Art?

Taste: creative deceit

that seeks to establish

trust in its favour.

Thought 30: Virtuality...

...as invisible matter?

Thought 29: The Human Body...

...as embodied time?

Thought 28: Pretentiousness...

...pretends.

Thought 27: The Great Midday

The Great Midday

for me was the

meeting of 

heaven

and hell

in perfect

equilibrium.

Thought 26: Natural Humanity

Natural humanity

is will to exert.

Thought 25: War and Peace

Peace dissatisfies

but war traumatises.

The price of 

peace

is war.

War reveals

the futility of

human life.

Peace confirms

the futility of

human life.

War is the

full discharge

of cruelty.

Peace is the

full denial of

cruelty.

Thought 24: Created Political Facts

False-flag attacks are created political facts.

Thought 23: Fool's Reading

'There is no outer-text.'

Of Grammatology

Thought 22: Economics as Domestication

With the rise of domestication

comes the rise of economics.

The full sequence 

appears to be:

Christianisation

↓

Domestication

Capitalisation

Computation

Domestication

is damnation.

Thought 21: Maths with Calvin

Foreword

The following maths problem 

is taken from the comic book

series Calvin and Hobbes.

Problem

Mr Jones lives 50 miles away from you. 

You both leave home at 5.00 and drive toward each other. 

Mr Jones travels at 35 mph, and you drive at 40 mph. 

At what time will you pass Mr Jones on the road?

Method

I actually solved this one using a diagram.

In any event, this is how it can be reduced to, 

having no great formal education in mathematics. 

Mr Jones travels at 35 miles per hour, 
which is to say 35 miles per sixty minutes. 

I divided time by distance, 

namely sixty minutes by thirty five miles,

to find out the time needed to cover 

one mile at that speed. 

Result: 1.7 minutes. 

So ten miles travelling at the speed 

of 35 miles per hour 

takes 17 minutes 

(1.7 x 10). 

Since the overall distance between 

Mr Jones' place and yours is fifty miles, 

that distance can be covered in 

17 minutes (for the ten miles)

 multiplied by 5 (to make fifty miles) 

which gives 85 minutes.

Meanwhile, you travel at 40 miles per hour, 
which is to say, you cover 40 miles 
per every sixty minutes. 

Same method as above: 

60 divided by 40 gives 

the time needed to cover 

one mile travelling at that speed. 

Result: 1.5 minutes. 

So ten miles travelling at 40 mph

 is equivalent to 1.5 x 10 = 15 minutes. 

So, for fifty miles,

we need to multiply

the 15 minutes it takes

to travel ten miles

by five. 

15 x 5 = 75 

75 minutes 

is required when travelling 

at the speed of forty miles per hour

to cover fifty miles of road.

To find out the time at which Mr Jones 
and yourself cross each other, 
one needs to subtract 
75 minutes from 85 minutes 
which gives ten minutes. Why? 
Because this difference will yield 
the exact time needed 
for the two cars to pass. 
Result: ten minutes.

Solution

Since both you and Mr Jones leave home at 5.00 pm, 
and that it takes ten minutes for the cars to pass
each other travelling at their respective speeds,
you will pass each other at exactly 5.10 pm.

There you go Calvin!

Thought 20: Ideology as Axiom

Ideology is an idea made axiom.

Thought 19: A Note on Gladiator

MAXIMUS TO AURELIUS

I will not believe that

[my men] fought and 

died for nothing.

***

They did.

Thought 18: On Politeness as a Means of Put-Down

I have noticed that vulgar people

are often the first to reproach others

they don't like for breaking 

the rules of politeness.

Thought 17: Aphoristic Elucidation II

Aphorism

'The best author.—

The best author will

be the one who is

ashamed to become

a writer.'

—Friedrich Nietzsche,

Human, All Too Human,

Volume I, 4. From the

Souls of Artists and

Writers

Elucidation

That is because

the author who is

ashamed to 

become a 

writer will

not use

writing as

a vanity

exercise.

Thought 16: Post-Christian Dating of Time

'Law against Christianity

Given on the Day of Salvation, 

on the first day of the year one 

(—30 September 1888, 

according to the false 

calculation of time).'

—Friedrich Nietzsche,

Thought 15: Pullman v Nietzsche

(1)

Pullman: a 

Republlic

of Heaven

'We have to be all those difficult things

like cheerful and kind and curious and 

brave and patient, and we've got to study

and think, and work hard, all of us,

in all our different worlds, 

and then we'll build...

The republic of heaven.'

—Philip Pullman, 

His Dark Materials—
The Amber Spyglass,

§.38 The Botanic Garden

Nietzsche: a

Kingdom of 

Earth

'But now leave this nursery, my own cave,

where today all childishness is at home.

Come outside and cool your overheated

child's exuberance and heart's noise!

To be sure: except ye become as little children,

ye shall not enter into that Kingdom of Heaven...

But then we do not want to enter

the Kingdom of Heaven at all:

we have become men—

and so we want the 

Kingdom of Earth.'

—Friedrich Nietzsche,
Thus Spoke Zarathustra—
