Then, what is the point of consciousness? There are some, such as neuroscientist Daniel De Haan and philosophers Giulio Tononi and Peter Godfrey-Smith, who argue that consciousness can best be explained by “integrated information theory.” In this theory, consciousness is something that emerges from the sum of our cognitive processes — or, more specifically, the “capacity of a system to […]

Our own „insubstantiality“: „The whole development of (suffering) is an attempt on our part to shield ourselves from the truth of our insubstantiality . . . The source of the effort to confirm our solidity is an uncertainty as to whether or not we exist. Driven by this uncertainty, we seek to prove our own existence by finding a reference point outside ourselves, something with which to […]

Prirodzenosť, identita, postavenie a stav človeka Autor: Peter Vajda a Drahoslav Vajda Vysvetlenie pojmov Mnohé pasáže a témy Písma je ťažké vyložiť bez toho, aby boli použité výrazové prostriedky, kategórie či pojmy, ktoré sa v ňom nenachádzajú. Keď takéto pojmy pri výklade textov potrebujeme a používame, musíme ich vopred zaviesť, definovať, vysvetliť, aby bolo […]

A Filológia (Filo) is the physical manifistation of a creature’s ambitions, desires, and willpower. Beyond rare, it’s estimated by researchers that only one in 0.00047% of sentient lifeforms within the Astral Sea possess one. It’s unknown how those who attain Filo do so; only that those who do are often capable of changing the fates of millions throughout the Astral Sea. […]

“The standard definition of sublimation is the elevation of an ordinary object to the dignity of a Thing. As Lacan aptly demonstrated apropos courtly love, an ordinary object (woman) is there elevated to the dignity of the Thing, she becomes an ‘inhuman partner,’ dangerous to get too close to, always out of reach, mixing horror and respect.”

We are told that mental illness isn’t violent and that to suggest otherwise is to stigmatize those who suffer. I can’t imagine more offensive bullshit than this, especially since it often comes from the competent ill who have the luxury of framing the world’s perception of illness. Mental illness is nothing but violence. It perpetrates violence against your own mind. It hacks and burns and […]

(ik, “zero religious debate” but gotta post the long paragraph due to the m3at munching that going to be happen by the people I’m talking about) This dude sounds like the one of those people who used to be christians who turned into buddhists, who can’t let go of the habit of following something merely validated among the primitive bunch, who can’t live without a shepherd, […]

„What makes you think human beings are sentient and aware? There’s no evidence for it. Human beings never think for themselves, they find it too uncomfortable. For the most part, members of our species simply repeat what they are told-and become upset if they are exposed to any different view. The characteristic human trait is not awareness but conformity, and the characteristic […]

“the elephant in the brain, n. An important but un­ack­now­ledged fea­ture of how our minds work; an introspective taboo.” The Elephant in the Brain is an informative and well-written book, co-authored by Kevin Simler and Robin Hanson. It explains why much of our behavior is driven by unflattering, hidden motives, as well as why our minds are built to be unaware of these motives. In […]

In this article I will explain the lyrics of Dissection’s last album, Reinkaos. This album is almost 12 years old, and I still haven’t found a comprehensive guide to all its lyrics, so I thought I might just write one. Introduction Some members of the band – most notably the vocalist Jon Nödtveidt – were involved in the Misanthropic Luciferian Order (MLO), which was later […]
