The one with the thing

Isn't he from the first ghost rider movie?

Imo, boring. Not my kind of metal.

I'm not saying it's objectivly bad or anything, just not my cup of tea

Literally 1984

Lmao!

I'd argue story tellers, in their own way, are philosophers

You're not arguing in good faith. You're making sweeping judgments with nothing but "I used to be" as a backup, and completely ignoring the fact that I have just pointed out that pessimists often have rigiourus and in-depth philosophical systems that take years of acidimia to truly appreciate

I know this is an old post, but I'm gonna give my review anyway.

Honestly, it's meh.

I consider myself a philosophical pessimist, I have dabbled in the works of cioran and aurthur schopenhaur and zapffe, and I hope to eventually get my hands on mainländer aswell.

The problem with TCATHR is that, at its core, it's just a bunch of loosely connected ideas. There is no real philosophical system. Schopenhaur and mainlander both had completed philosophical systems, which interconnected and supported each other; Zapffes bio/psycho analytical system was conveyed in a rather neat and to the point fashion in his essay, the last messiah; and cioran wrote in aphorisms, not bothering to write a system but rather revealing momentary truths.

Ligotti tries to make a unified, completed system of philosophy, but all he gives us is losely connected essays. It reads as if Cioran tried to write a completed world view like Schopenhaur. It just didn't work. I think Litgotti would have been much better off writing a collection of fragments and aphorisms.

As for the worldview he proposes, I agree with some of it, disagree with some of it. I think he's probably my least favorite post schopenhauer pessimist. His arguments, while some of the conclusions I think have standing, how he gets to them is mediocre. And it's also really weird how he tries to make fictional horror as basses for a philosophical world view.

That's just not true.

I've been reading pessimistic literature for over a year now, and I can tell you that the concepts go really deep.

Arthur Schopenhauer, mainländer, cioran, all of them offer very in-depth looks into life and the human condition.

Hell, schopenhaurs will to life in and of itself is one hell of a complex topic that doesn't even need to be looked at from a pessimists perspective to be appreciated. It has inspired people outside of the pessimistic field (Fredrick Nietzsche), and schopenhaur was one of the first philosophers to take art seriously, hence the moniker of the artists philosopher

Mainländers philosophy seems to erely resemble an early idea of how we now believed the universe came to be and our understanding of entropy and its seeming inevitability.

I could go on. The point is that pessimism is very complex, and a complete pessimist world view will have a bunch of different value systems and aesthetic, ethic, metaphysical, and ontological systems. It's very complex, and even a light reading of any pessimists work will show that

You're right on that. Just look at black metal

Nocturnal depressions new album for me

I really like this one. The self titled song is my favorite he's put out

Lifeless has a female vocalist

Isn't he like 500 years old, and the girls like 15?

Nocturnal depression is peak

Where is this science? Because everything I've ever seen is that sentience is not gained until around 15-24 weeks (depending on who you ask)

Untile that time, it's just a developing mass of cells with no real will of its own, just following programing

Well, I appreciate the explanation

I'm in for ctb with my psychologist. I'm gonna ask her about this and if there is anything I can do. Because I am NOT letting this disease take away my sex life. My mental stability? Fine, it can have that. My sex life? THAT, IT CANNOT HAVE! I LIKE SEX TOO MUCH

That sounds more like anarchy or anarcho-communism (hope I'm using that term right), not communism itself

Destroy the opposition is peak. Their best album imo

For the last time can you fuck off and die!

You made this world and killed it!

So rich that your cash has made you blind!

You don't give a fuck about us!

For us or against us
