Truth isn&#8217;t some neat fact about the universe that only makes some trifling difference in the grander scheme of things.<\/p>\n<p>-6.Truth is a hard edge against your life&#8217;s blood forcing you to acknowledge its beautiful brutality.<\/p>\n<p>-5. Truth is the rape of a loved one and being forced to acknowledge that &#8220;should&#8221; and &#8220;ought&#8221; aren&#8217;t worth a drop of tears.<\/p>\n<p>-4. You just know the words, and truth is so much more than words.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>-3. There will come a time when our sense of home becomes alienated and\u00a0irresistible, and we will grasp at the stars.<\/p>\n<p>-2. A knight of faith is a good man in Gomorrah.<\/p>\n<p>-1. A pun that crosses languages is something nearly beautiful.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>0.\u00a0Keep going, Sisyphus!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>1. If I couldn&#8217;t say goddamn or goddammit, I would probably kill myself.<\/p>\n<p>2. Titanic amounts of great effort are required to produce the slightest amounts of good results\u2014The Earth was starforged, diamonds are earthforged, we are wombforged.<\/p>\n<p>3. Effort does not guarantee success, and success is sometimes alien to effort.<\/p>\n<p>4. The Hero is cheered, <del>for The Hero is the only one we let rescue us from our rejectful selves<\/del>, because in the Hero we see, acknowledge, and feel validated in as strugglers.<\/p>\n<p>5. The collective noun for Hero is journey. A journey of Heroes can lead to an oligarchy.<\/p>\n<p>6. The Master-Slave relation is one hell of an idea. It&#8217;s so beautiful, so enthralling, that one may spend all its time in marvel of its dynamic solitude.<\/p>\n<p>7. The above is counter-revolutionary.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>8. The above is counter-revolutionary.<\/p>\n<p>9. A bearded man once said that philosophers seek to interpret the world, but the point is to change it.<\/p>\n<p>10.\u00a0Once a man devotes himself towards bringing his thought into action, he soon forgets that this is not his natural state.<\/p>\n<p>11. What are called social scientists are all battle-philosophers who have been skirmishing out in the wild for so long they often forget what they are.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>12. All I&#8217;ve ever wanted to be was a human being.<\/p>\n<p>13. She laughs at me.<\/p>\n<p>14. If I valued your opinion, I would have killed myself by now.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>15. Perspective is the most dangerous weapon in the world.<\/p>\n<p>16. Sometimes the pickets win battles and think themselves generals winning wars\u2014behold\u00a0the scientiamors, bastard descendants\u00a0of the philosophers, dishonorable descendants of Socrates!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>17. If this was a cracked article there&#8217;d be funny pictures everywhere.<\/p>\n<p>18. Sometiems it strieks me that we as a peopel could ues a moer logical spelling system.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>19. Philosophy makes us not-machines, and I don&#8217;t ever want to be a machine.<\/p>\n<p>20. A bearded man once said that if there were no gods, there should be.<\/p>\n<p>21. If the above sentiments were shared by more people, there&#8217;d be less futility in the world.<\/p>\n<p>22. An end to useless suffering would only serve to make what remains that much more important.<\/p>\n<p>23. Between coincidence and pareidolia falls a shadow\u2014looking like any damned thing.<\/p>\n<p>24.\u00a0The above is seditious; possibly counter-revolutionary.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>25. There should be a federal Department of Validation charged with sending out agents to make sure citizens feel like their lives are a worthwhile enterprise.<\/p>\n<p>26. On no account are bioethicists to be hired by the Department of Validation.<\/p>\n<p>27. Flatcaps are the Trotskyest of all headwear.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>28. I share my birthday with Jessica Alba, Jay Leno, and a dead dictator.<\/p>\n<p>29. Some days are not worth the light.<\/p>\n<p>30. Some knights tilt at windmills and the rest call their foes giants.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>31. To lose the credit that you know is truly yours\u2014is there a higher agony?<\/p>\n<p>32. Man fills the world with wills and expects it to talk back.<\/p>\n<p>33. Man is a silly creature.<\/p>\n<p>34. Fanaticism born from hatred is a dehumanizing ignorance.<\/p>\n<p>35. Sociopaths are monsters: their smiles are bright and full of knives.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>36. There is a heroic principle in life, and it is the realization of struggle as a human effort.<\/p>\n<p>37. To realize oneself as a struggler beyond the point of contemplation is to become a god.<\/p>\n<p>38. There are beautiful things that swift-footed reason can detect hovering over the waters of existence, delicious and\u00a0iridescent.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>39. <iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NN3eBvZvUXk\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>40. A word is a container for meaning that can be periodically emptied and refilled.<\/p>\n<p>41. A name is not a like a word: it is a staging ground upon which a private world is built.<\/p>\n<p>42. Accordingly, the same name can reoccur in unexpected ways and the wrong name can bring down the sky.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>43. Skyhooks make poor anchors.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>44. &#8220;My sacred love, my guiding light, my Hero!&#8221; surely cried Leander as he was lost to the dark of the sea.<\/p>\n<p>45. Without Leander, Hero threw herself into the sea, too.<\/p>\n<p>46. When the last man is lost in the last night, he will be followed by the million heroes of his million ancestors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>-7.
